:heart:Do you think people on-line share too much too soon, or get too wrapped up in a romance,before they really know each other?:heart:


Mirror, this doesn't just happen online. I used to do it and I see women do it every day. Our imagination makes little things said and actions into more than what they really are, causing people to then act as though it is now a full blown known each other all their lives relationship and sadly they find out after investing far too much too soon that they did not know each other at all.

I tell them all the time, ssssslllllllooooooowwwwwwww dddddddddoooooooowwwwwwwwwnnnnnn, if he is in a rush you don't want him anyway and if he leaves you because you move too slow he didn't really want you anyway.

Take your time and get to know someone. It takes at least a year to know someone a little well. We need to set time limits like that. Instead of month or so of knowing each other and we live together.noway

I think it can be easy to do the trick is to keep it real, go slow, be who you are no matter what.

I think we all have at one time or another fell for someone then realized that we weren't a match for some reason or another.

I think in the beginning,when your try online dating, you give to much info,as well as get caught up in romance.

One has to keep in mind your not the only one there are talking to,regardless what they say.
So with that said, anyone I would gamble to meet,I'd have to be talking with them for at least 3-4 weeks.And if there is huge distance a good 6 months.And with the understanding,i'm not meeting to become sexual.I have always spelt out my intents 100%.
I will never be a revolving shoe rack for anyone.

Yes. A lot of people fall in love with a screen name and consider it a relationship.

Yes. It's easy to do. You are getting to know someone and you like them so its hard to remember that this is not the same as meeting someone in real life. It takes longer and you have to be careful. Words are only a very small part of communication. By communicating this way you are missing most of the communication. And, of course, we tend to project what we want into the communication to make up for what's missing.

Lonliness does strange things to people...they get confused when someone is interested in them and think thats the one.
Then...there is the opposite...having your guard up too much and that's just as confusing to another.


Great answer! drinker
