Okay, I have done it. Let me explain.
I have been chatting back and forth with someone on another site. He had a picture posted, rather attractive, medium build, 6'. We were having great chatting sessions and after about 1 month or so, I decide to give him my phone number to call me. Prior to this, he had given me his number asking me to call, but I was not comfortable yet.

So, we chat on the phone for about another month. He had been asking all along for a date, dinner or lunch. I'm not there yet, so I tell him this. He is okay with it. Time passes when I finally say, yes I will meet for lunch. Well, today was that day.

I agreed to meet him at a nice lunch place. He said he would meet me outside. Okay, so I am not far from this place, so I walk over. I see a man standing outside the restaurant. As I am approaching, still at a distance, I am thinking, "Please, that cannot be him". Then I notice that a couple of women are walking by and he is checking out their behinds. When I get closer he recognizes me and smiles, my thought is "this can't be".
He is not 6 feet, he is at most 5'7", he is also bald, with a mustache and a huge gut. He looked nothing at all like his picture. In fact, if he were inside the restaurant waiting, I would have walked right past him not knowing it was him and thought I was stood up!

Needless to say, when I left and he leaned in to kiss me, I turned and walked away.

I would like to know this; What makes a person be so incredibly non-accurate about what they look like, and think that a person wouldn't notice the difference??? What makes someone do this? Don't they know that once you meet them you will know that they lied about themselves and there would be no chance at all of ever getting a 2nd date?

I have decided this is my first and last date with someone online. I am much more comfortable meeting someone in the Home Depot, the super market, or just about anywhere else. Much less chance of meeting a fraud.




Wow, I can't believe someone would really do that. Sorry to hear that someone would do that to you. Something you can always look back on life and laugh about.

Here is my pic, what da ya think?

Sorry you had a bad experience. Good idea about only dating in the real world, less unpleasant surprises that way.flowerforyou

Why would they do it?


It got you to show up on the date. Probably why.




I agree with another poster. If it is going to go to that step and you have invested that much time, why not have a webcam chat?


WEbcams are built in a lot of laptops- I think.

Thank you all for your input. I think you are correct with the webcam idea. I would never have even shown up if I did see him on webcam.

Update, he actually called me last night!! Damn, that is one brave man. Needless to say, my Scorpioness came out and stung him, he will longer be calling me! :smile: flowerforyou

I have not had good luck with meeting people from this site either. I've met a drunk, a sloth and a girl that left me 23 voicemails in one afternoon telling me about her day. The ladies that seemed really interesting either ended up being married or they were too timid to try to get to know me.

It's been like 2 1/2 years for me checking out this site regularly. Im seriously thinking of paying for e-harmony.
