Internet Dates....yes/no

I've never been one to date anyone off the internet/phone/blind/whatever if I havent seen the person up close and personal....

... Well, this girl AIM-ed me a while ago.... maybe 1 yr ago saying she knows me through someone else. We've talked online for a while and shes given me her phone#/pics but i've never called her even after a year. She always talks about meeting me and says she thinks i'm cool through one of my friends that she and I both hang w/ occasionally .....

....again, after talking w/ her online for almost a year, I'm not sure to call her or not. Whats your guys' experiences, good things, bad things, or whatever for that matter on how to address the situation. Again, i've never done anything like this before and I'm kinda skeptical about this whole internet, meeting thing (something is just wack about it). Any suggestions????????

I'd maybe meet her, get to know her then see if she's g/f material.

(if she lives near you)

ditto that last post. pick up the phone and just talk to her mate! you never know what you got till you look into it.

I heard about that, and it sounded funny but I never did find it.

I've met some people from online. (TA's and not TA's) *shrugs* It's all about the trust. Do you trust her? Then meet her. Meeting online then in real life is kind of like a blind date... except you already somewhat know each other.

It really all depends...

You can find out a lot about a person from their online persona - whether good or bad.

The social stigma surrounding meeting someone from the net will go away over time - but who cares - if you and her hit it off then that's all that matters in the end

I met this girl i met through msn today (coincidence :O) And she has been amazing on msn, talked to her for about 3 months, and she is even more so in real life. We had a great time and i hope to see her again, so moral of story, go for it.

Dear god no. I tried a blind date thing once and it was horrible. Luckily i could escape easily.

Posted by DrUg_Tit0 on Dec-23-2003 12:13:

It depends. If you're getting along on the net, chances are you'll be able to do the same in real life too.

You hit the nail there swamper, I met my GF on MSN, ages ago about 1 year and 3 months ago, and we decided to meet in my local public house (bar) , i saw pix of her before we met and she saw me, i had been single for ages and really wanted a g/f as being single gets expensive , i found out online that she likes r & b, gucci and porche and lamborgini and she supports my local football team also she was really pretty, i thought fuck it i might aswell go and meet her you never know do you, i had some feeling that i had to go and she said the same to me, she said she wouldnever meet ppl from the net but on this one occasion she tought something was right, we met and the first moment i saw her i thought u lucky bastard , she was more prettyier in the pix, we got talkin and we just clicked and that was it, we arranged a few more dates cinema , meal etc and i loved every min of it. ppl laugh sometimes when they ask you were you meet but fuck , its year 2003 nearly 2004 and technology is whats its all about like TXT MSG is just like chatting online ???.

something spookey now, my mother went seeing a fortune teller and she told my mother that a Michelle & America would appear in her life very soon, my mother was like wtf i hate America and I don't know a michelle, well 2 months later, i met Michelle My current GF , and she went to America 3 weeks after i met her also her mother new my when i was young and her dad's best friend works with my Dad.

Spooky.

Without a doubt, I was glancing through profiles on a dating site one day, one caught my interest... she seemed to love video games as much as me, was pretty cute, and seemed very down to earth. She gave out her IM name for people to IM her, sure enough I did, we got around to talking. We met in real life, found we got along really well, one thing lead to another... finally asked her out this past weekend. Go for it, the rumors that everyone you meet online is like some fat old cow is crap. When you get to be a certain age, and you're not a fan of the bars, it's kind of hard to meet people.

Posted by KilldaDJ on Dec-23-2003 18:15:

fuck...

thats weird...

i went online the other day and this girl started to msg me and tellin me that she wanted to meet up with me, she lives in wales but is coming down here and i just went along with it...shes like a goth or something and looks like that bitch from evanescence...

so she claims.

...well...guess im gunna have to find out the hard way. im meetin her next monday. wish me luck that she aint a right minger etc.

btw she sounds nice on the ringer

yeah right. isn't it the other way round?!

Well, if a girl's typing on a computer on a Friday or Saturday night, then there must be a story behind it. I say go for it - at least meeting the person in a public place that is. You have to take some gambles in life. Hell, I ended up marrying someone from halfway around the world and I never looked back; at least not back to my first marriage. Lol! Let us know what transpires there KillaDJ!

Re: Internet Dates....yes/no

I've met some cool people online too.... like on TA (Toronto section) and on Mauro Picotto's website. You mentioned she sent u pics.... so if u are attracted to her.... then call her!!!!! If u don't like her in person, then just don't talk to her anymore

[color=red] phuck no , my g/f loves staying in a watching dvd's , my DVD's lol, we never finish a whole movie without doing the ramshank.

Posted by TiestoFanMatt on Dec-24-2003 15:03:

Met my current g/f online, talked for a year, met her in usa, now we're going out, and i live in England. Pain in the arse but when i get to see her i have the best time of my life, she is round right now, having a great xmas!

It is true that the ppl have a pre-conception that ppl who want to meet up on the net are all fat, gly bold men! aint true, coz we're all on the net right? lol

I say go for it mate, whats the worse that could happen, one day of ur life goes a little pear shaped? not too bad!

Sounds like a keeper. I agree that being single and dating is expensive. I spent about 37 dollars on one girl last time. I want my 37 dollars back
