I agree with RHT for the most part. I'm new to forums, after being away a few years and a lot of people are really nice and fun to talk to so I'm not sure I'd leave. This is a "dating" site but sure doesn't seem like it. I realized after I got into the forums that a lot of the people on-line are actually on-line in the forums. People have met in the forums which is great and like I said, some really good couples are here. At this early point, I wouldn't be on a dating site if in a committed relationship. JMO peeps
Bill, I was talking with a gf today (just a friend) and she did on-line dating so much, after one or two e-mails, she'd say let's meet. If it didn't work out, spark or whatever, move on. No harm no foul. I think it's the same with guys as it is for woman. If I didn't see a picture, I wouldn't bother to think 'why she didn't put one up.' Just move on. Attraction has to be there--it's just the way it is. JMO. Good luck.
Classic, Actually, should've added I have always received great advice from you. It truly can work. I have to start being positive, then the outcome will be positive. If I stay negative, I've already ruined it before it even develops.
Excellent advice. I'm so pathetic I have to keep reading these over and over just to stop myself so I won't keep thinking up reasons why I shouldn't and just do it. We talk on the phone every night and, well it's just really, really, really good so far. What the ... is wrong with me? Maybe because my heart got ripped out about 4 months ago and I'm a bit gun shy. OMG I'm a mess.
This has been discussed before, but still would like feedback. If the person you like (met her on-line), meeting this weekend, is over 2 hours away, is it worth pursing? Here's what I mean by that: In a new relationship, my experience has been, seeing each other often builds the relationship. A weekend relationship? And, honestly, I can't do the trip thing every weekend because I have stuff to do. Who has time to do the drive/meet every weekend? I understand that if it develops, then stayovers come into play and it becomes better. Maybe I'm just nervous, tired and not thinking clearly?
