I don't expect too much, am just feeling things out. Hard to get into a new way of meeting people when you're so used to meeting themin real life.

How do you go about meeting and getting to know people online, do you live in front of a screen and wait for things to happen? and then does that not affect how your interpersonal skills mature? What comes next after you have messaged each other a couple of times, when and how do you take it to the real person level? just some questions responses are greatly appreciated.

Am I just ancient or have things just passed me by? when I was single and looking the last time, the only people who used the internet to find someone were people who couldn't meet people in real life. Now if you walk up and introduce yourself at a coffeeshop, you 'd probably end up with a mace smell on your clothse for weeks. What happened? I know it's great to be able to google a man ladies, but isn't it nice to know if you have the physical chemistry too? Or to know that they are a real flesh and blood human, man, not 70, willing to do anything but i.m. and sit at a computer? I'm only 33 and I feel like I'm lost in the cyber shuffle, don't you?

Just new to the whole online bizz, I'm used to meeting face to face. maybe I'm a bit old fashion? just want some feedback to improve upon. Thank you whoever you may be.
