How do most of you envision this site working for you?

For instance, if you are looking for someone to begin a dating relationship with...

Do you meet online, spend time getting to know them and then move forward slowly to the point when you want to meet them?

Or do you send a few emails, have a couple of phone conversations and then meet right away to see if it's worth pursuing?

Good topic. Meet online, spend time getting to know them and then move forward slowly to the point when you want to meet them. I don't like the fast track.

I've done it both ways -- using a number of other sites. I have met people from dating sites after talking to them as little as two weeks, and as long as a year.

Doesn't work for me regardless.

I think if I ever did decide to meet someone from a dating site again, I would tend to be very cautious and deliberate, and take my time about it. I've had enough of the arsonists and phony bank tellers and fake kidnap victims.

Well, I met my boyfriend here. We exchanged a lot of e-mails, had a lot of phone calls, etc and met in person probably within 2 weeks or so. Over a year later, we're still together, worked for us :heart:

I'm new to this site, however I've been doing online dating for about two years. It seems to me women are afriad to meet after only a few emails. So, much BS in the media I assume. Whereas, I'd rather meet after one or two and see if there are any sparks.

Ideally, I'd like to meet people after talking/emailing for a little bit. However, people close by seem to not want to email or talk at all before meeting. And the people I've gotten to know that I'd like to meet are farther away, so it's hard to meet.

Actually to me it all has to do with the distance. If they live far away then you get to know them the best you can and decide who is going to make the trip.

If they live close by then I'm all for meeting them much sooner for lunch or coffee or just a glass of tea so you can sit and talk and see if you want to continue or not.

Prefer to met sooner than later.

As for online friends, great.
As for meeting someone, not so good.

I prefer taking the slow road, emails, maybe im after a point, the phone down the line and then perhaps meeting.. I've met soon and I've met after well over a year..

A friend of mine met someone on anoher site who didn't have a pic.
She painted a picture that she was good looking and constantly promised to send him a pic.
She never got around to doing that.
They talked on Instant messenger for some time and arranged to meet.
When they met, he said that the last time he had seen a face like hers, it was pulling Ben Hurs chariot. slaphead

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I asked him if he was going to see her again.
He said that they had continued to see each other on a regular basis, and they are now getting married in December. shocked :laughing:

So. You see folks. It isn't what's on the outside that matters. It's what comes from within that counts. :wink: :smile:

I considered not posting a pic, just so I would not attract people interested in only a certain look. I think people can get caught up in stereotypical dating habits. I was told I would not meet anyone if I indulged my thinking.
