Re: Internet date-scared shitless sadgirlwhyme: A dear friend of mine met her husband on the net. She is expecting their frist child!
There is a young couple where I work that met online. They courted for 2 years and now they live together. He is gorgeous and very sweet to her.
I dont think it matters where you meet someone. When its right its right.
I personally wouldnt do it.
But good for you if you met a nice guy and have fun.
Re: Internet date-scared shitless BONILLAK: So whats the update?LOL I'm nosey.
This guy I'm seeing I met in person but was definately not into him at all but we exchanged numbers anyway because I had a few beers in me and said ok.LOL I'm so glad I did because he has now had the flu this week and we spent lots of time talking on the phone for hours and if he wasn't sick where we talked so much I might not have given him a chance...in fact I wouldn't have at all but now getting to know him as a person on the phone I think he is great. It doesn't even matter now that I don't think he is attractive I just can't wait for him to be well and spend some time with me! Looks have always been kinda up on the priority list for me but not after talking to Jon for hours! I think God works in funny ways.
Re: Internet date-scared shitless Goddess: I'm not sure if there is anything BUT internet dating these days ::)
Its normal to be apprehensive but all you can do is take a chance..I met my husband on the net..Maybe now its not the greatest story ever told given our problems..but he was the one of the first guys I met after my divorce and now we're married with a 1 year old.. go figure :P
I've met one other person on the net that I got to know over the phone first..and fell madly in love with..and the feelings were there in person as well.. I will probably always consider him one of the great loves of my life..and we are both moved on and married to other people now but still remain friends and it didnt end badly..just wasnt meant to be.
To me..life is about taking chances ..go for it.. unless you met him on one of those "Prisoners on death row" dating sites :P :P
Let us know how it goes! ;D
Re: Internet date-scared shitless nic1025: So where is the update??? :P
Re: Internet date-scared shitless 2be: Good luck... I hope it went well. I have an internet success as well (maybe.) I posted a profile stating I only want friends since I'm being very careful where I'm at emotionally. I get a number of responses but one really clicks with me. No pictures though... but she says she'll send me pictures if I'm still interested. I think... what the heck... I'm not looking for anything except friends anyway so it doesn't matter what they look like. So I say sure... she sends photos.
:o ;D
Um...wow! So we start chatting via email for two weeks and decide to meet. (She lives in a town 60 miles south of me). She came up last Saturday and we went bowling. Bowling turned into great conversation, which turned into Karaoke, which turned into her staying at my place.
I'm not "in love". I'm not infatuated. I don't need her to tell me I'm great and I'm not trying to get back at my stbx or anything. But I cannot deny the sparks that flew between us. But she is not perfect, there was no lightning bolt of "this is the one." She has been divorced for 7 years and knows exactly where I am at. We think there is enough between us to grow and get to know each other. We're going to take it VERY slow until I am healed. She is a friend (with benefits LOL) right now. We have made no promises of committments, we are on the same page, and we are seeing each other again this weekend.
I can't say where this might lead. The hated "rebound" word is in the back of my mind always. But I don't need this woman to fill up some empty hole, or for revenge or anything. It is odd. Am i truly healing and seeing this person for what she is and not through emotion clouded eyes?
it is hard to tell. All I know is that i see a lot of traits I like in a woman... enough to see if there is anything more. All I have is time ahead of me. What is the rush? Wish me luck...
