Well at the risk of sounding as though I'm placing too much importance on physical appearance, I have to say that I have been disappointed with the online dates I had.
As I've already said, I would now rather make up my mind about a possible relationship/date by first seeing somebody in the flesh rather than a photo. Of course I could become emotionally attached to somebody by prolonged e-mail and phone calls but there has to be some physical chemistry too. How do you know if this person you communicate with washes or brushes his/her teeth regularly? You could be writing and talking to somebody only to find out that he/she is real stinky!
Appearance does matter, despite what many people say here, but fortunately we all have our own preferences so there should be no losers.
Don't really know why I used that emoticon, I've just discovered it and think it's cute!
Because people think more highly of themselves than they ought to. Then as they see the dat approaching for a meeting, they sre sfraid of the reality of what is suddemly upon them.
In other words, people are liars, and misrepresent the truth.
Add the fact that so many are just here playing people for fools.
Going back to the part of having to meet someone: It is more than that. I had known my last girlfriend for 18 years. We were in love for 18 months. Saw each other every 2-6 weeks as we lived 800 miles apart. Her life got real difficult come October of this year when she decided that she could not put what she needed into the relationship with the realities of her life today. She let me go. I feel dead inside. U have to be able to give a relationship more than a love letter - U have to be able to hold it, curl up with it, listen to it and then kiss it goodnight. I am no stranger to long seperations as I spent 8 yrs in the US Navy, but to do another year or two is to much for her. My advice - make friends here and keep Ur lovers local.
Other times you can "fall in love" (not literally) with a person through their writings. Some people can express them selves so well and so beautifully using that medium but are not quite as eloquent in person.
In that instance an on going email dialogue can be more beneficial than a quick meet where you might dismiss the person without really getting to know them.
Because we made picture about person from “another side” as we imagine her/him. And after few conversations we understand that imagination is false. Usually that cause our disappointment, and next time when we try to meet someone we do it with less courage and less will. Jokes which we make or some sentence other side do not understand on the way which we wont. All that make problems to take another step – I think.
My flight has been delayed if it gets off of the ground at all. I only have a real small window of opportunity to see her on this trip and if the flight gets cancelled I may not get to see her at all. I was supposed to leave yesterday but several things have come up to prevent it and now It's like I am not supposed to go at all. What should I do? If I show up on her doorstep at 2am she is not going to be as pleasant about it as if I arrived at 10pm as originally planned. I can't call her as that ends the suprise. And no I'm not worried about anybody else being there.
