When you find someone on here, or similar sites, do you put in the effort to actually meet them? Or, do you prefer to keep it to online friendship/relationship instead? This could be for friends you've met here, or for someone you're interested in as more than friends.

If there is more than friendship to be explored, it will make itself known.

It is always wonderful to meet an online friend in the real world. Where possible, I always make the effort.

Myself if they live close by and think I may be interested I try to meet them ASAP. I don't believe in the online conversation for a week or two or a month before meeting them when they are within 30min to and hour away.. Shhshs meet them and see if it is worth following through... Saves a lot of time in my opinion.

If there was ever anyone on here close enough to meet in real life, and assuming I could somehow be convinced that they weren't anything like the other people I met from websites, then I'd give it a shot.

For the most part, I'm OK with keeping it on line. I have this nagging superstition that meeting someone in real life just might ruin it.....

It seems a more appropriate title for this thread would be: "Do you put in the cynicism?" indifferent

Kinda like when one signs those wedding papers. When they are signed then it all goes to h***.

If someone lives close by and I want to see how things go, I will absolutely meet them in person.. usually within a week or two.

On here, it's been a bit more difficult, as people tend not to live close by. But, I've definitely met a few of my favorite people in person. It takes more planning, as they were trips to other states, but definitely worth it!

That was certainly my experience. Although it was the same even when papers weren't involved, so I may be reading too much into that....

I have met a few of the ladies I've connected with online, and developed wonderful friendships with them as well. I realize I'm a hard shoe to fit, so if all doesn't align just right we can still be good friends.

No one from this site yet, but if the cards fell into place I'd certainly like to meet up when the time was right. When is the time right? I have no idea, but we'll both know when it happens. :smile:

Over the past few years, I have met many people from online sites. Some have been really decent and others, well we all have our stories. Usually after a week of talking to them, we meet up for coffee or something. dating usually follows, sometimes not.

Mingle2 is the only site that I consider people to be 'online friends' at times. I won't have an online relationship however. I need that physical touching aspect(holding hands, hugging etc)in a relationship. It would'nt be fair to myself or the other person to exclude the human element. I want something real.

Yeah, I never understood the online relationship thing. I mean, I can see getting to know someone that way. But in order for there to be an actual relationship, I'd have to actually meet them and see how it goes from there.

If I were to meet someone on here (and I have)
and it had..potential, I would move heaven
and earth to make it happen.
And we did.
I highly recommend the Meet.
Some like it sooner, rather than later.
Not me.
I like the time to get to know what
is there. Time to sift it all.
Enjoy the woo :-)
It builds up a lot of..heat.
I would recommend this, also :-)

I explained on-line dating and reccommended it to my sister. She is down in the dumps about being lonely but, is really snake bit about guys at this point.

I explained the positive aspects...here, you actually have to get to know the person behind the face. It ain't quick and it takes a lot of time and alot of lonely nights.

Like I told her "I would rather be deeply in love with someone halfway across the country, than feeling lonely laying in bed with someone"....her reply "God! I can understand THAT!"

My first date with Soufie lasted 5 glorious days. There was nervous uncertainty...but, upon meeting...it solidified the feelings we share.

In a few short months, we will have our second week long date. I live for it and sooooo look forward to it. Is it perfect? No. But, even though I don't get to hold her every night...I get to love her. That is something alot of people who live in the same house don't get to share.

It ain't about the distance....some love is worth it.
