We met in person and oh boy.... ( Archived) (25)

So you were emailing back and forth, sparks were flying or at least warm fuzzies. Then you met in person. Was he/she what you expected? Did the attraction survive? Or were you surprised?

Will tell you later. But I beleave things is going to work out. The person I am going to meet is very sweet and kind. Plus she is a great mother. Let you know soon.

all i can say that if somebody really went and met those they saw online then they have alot of courage and curiosity and this i admire.Of course they may not be as expected but one would never know hiding under the bed in fear

you know i have met so amny people off of the net some it was there some it wasnt the one thing that i hated most was when i met someone online and they showed up in person for dinner or for coffee and they looked like they just got done cleaning the house or they were in the back yard in thier garden i met this woman who had a wonderful personality she was pretty not a model but pretty and her and i talked for a month before we decided to meet in person we spent hours talking about everythig we never ran ot of stuff to talk about so we met at a really nice resturant and i got there early so i seated my self at the bar and we were on the phone when she walked in i hadnt told her where i was cause i wanted to see her walk in something about how the sun shined through those doors that gave women this glo (thats why i chose this piticular resturant) and when she walked in she was wearing these blue jeans that looked like something out of an eighties horror movie that had paint and dirt all over them holes in them and she had a huge baggy t shirt on it was terrible she looked like she hadnt seen a shower in a week. i got up and hung up the phone and walked right out of the door right in front of her talk about a nightmare. if oyu do meet someone ofrom online face to face dress to impress unless it is already decided that you are going mudding

I really have to disagree with you on that post, it sound's extremley shallow. How can you learn to love, if you have judged by apperance !!! I have not met people off the net. I have met people from dating site's, and although they have not been adequate for me personally, I have'nt dissed them for who they are, or how they dress.


I would have to say I have been lucky enough to have spoken to a kindred spirit on-line. Although we have not met, you never know maybe one day. He has helped to restore a little faith in human nature, I don't feel so all alone no-more. Finally someone who understand's my view's/ideal's and hope's for the future. I am ever so gratefull for that, this person is truely special with a fantastic intellectual mind and a genuine view on life in this world.

So you see it is not all about meeting and falling in love, you can fall in love in so many way's. The physical aperance should'nt really be an issue if you connect the way you say you did !!!

Should it ???

you know barcode she is right.I have run a profile on 8 sites for a couple of years and I never really get any mail.You know why,because I am scruffy looking as a goat hearder.If people would learn to value each other for the qualities that make each of us what we are it would be great.My age is another.Just because I am 49 everyboby has this steriotype that I am short fat and bald or something and this is not true.We should base our opinion of a fellow human on real life communication and not only on a photo

barcode maybe she was more in fashion than you who knows and i really believe that was a rude thing you did at least have the decency to talk to her and find out what her personality is like.

well the thing oyu have to understand is that i didnt tell you the whole story cause i am kinda long winded so i will tell you the rest we had agreed to meet at this resturant this place has a dress code it was known in advance that this was where we were going to meet and that there was a dress code i spoke to her a week later and i asked her what she was thinking i knew she had money to have nicer clothes well at least that is what i thought she had fed me a buntch of lies telling me that she worked as a bank manager and that she drove a really nice car and so on and so forth so my expectations were a little high even if i try and not have any expectations i am a redneck who has lived all over the world so i fit into most situations but hell i would have been satisfied at meeting at dennys nonethe less she had lied and decided to show up anyway instead of telling me the truth and if she had told me the truth that she was a single mother living on a fixed income well i wouldnt have made such a big deal about going to a fancy resturant i would have taken her out for a day to pamper her which she really needed and deserved she struggled with her life her husband left her with nothing and she was fighting to make it her and i ended up dating for about 3 months and when we really did finally meet in person thats exactly what i did i took her out for a day of pampering took her to a day spa then took her to get her hair and nails done and then took her shopping then i took her to a job interview with a friend of mine her and i became good friends and decided that we werent the perfect match she ended up marrying my friend who she had the interview with she is very happy with him and he loves her and her children more than life it self but the point i was trying to get across in the last post was that if you decide to meet someone face to face present your self as you have described dont lie and then show looking like someone who just crawled out a gutter i am not rich by any means but i dont try and tell people that i am wel off because eventually they will find out i dont lie and i dont potray my self as someone i am not because eventually the truth will come out

i had been for months
