If that is the case, would it not have been better if you met her sooner, then you could just have continued as friends afterwards, without any regrets?
The best thing to do then is probably to meet the person as soon as possible..
The reason I did not do that is that I would like to know first what kind of person I am corresponding with, just to have a glimpse on what kind of character he has, or his values, or his way of thinking, before I meet him. I found out those things do not really matter if the chemistry is not there.
I would have liked to have them as friends, but it was not possible. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but for me, it's either I feel it or I don't. It would be unfair to lead them on, don't you think?
It is a very difficult situation when you have corresponded with someone for quite a long time and you thought you really have a connection, only to find out that it is not so when you meet him in real life.
As I am already very old, I know exactly what I want. So I can tell right away if the sparks are there or not.. or at least a possibility that it could be more..
Did you ever find it possible to be friends with somebody you met online after meeting in real life and one or both of you have determined that the sparks were non-existent?
So far, I haven't.
If you have been in such a situation, what are your views?
Do you think it would be better not to tell the other person right away that you do not feel anything special?
I've been wanting to visit beautiful Malta for such a long, long time... ever since the historic Malta Summit in 1989. Such fascinating travel documentaries they were showing on television then and I haven't forgotten how picturesque they were!
So, would you, would you, would you be my tour guide?
Right, Smoky. That's more or less what I was trying to convey..
If you don't brush your teeth, you'll have gingivitis or tooth decay .. that's hard .. very hard .. How insignificant as it may seem, it can still make life difficult for you.
And life can still be hard even if you had a windfall and you don't have to go to work, .. if you don't brush your teeth .. and you don't do it, as Smoky says, religiously.
RE: hey guys ..you had a good week?
OK, guiri.. Sorry, that was indeed rude. I apologize..It's Lago's fault. He started talking about his Travel Emporium..
But I assure you, it was not badly intended. In fact, it's for your own sake. If I tell you what I did, I would have to kill you afterwards ..
