I haven't met anyone from this site, although I was hoping to when I first signed up. But it's difficult when everyone who wants to meet you is thousands of miles away, and the local people won't talk to you.

I have met nine people from other sites, and eight of those were absolute train wrecks. As it stands, I really don't think I'll be trying to meet people on line anymore.

Damn! The people you and I met must have been related to each other. Read my post on the previous page.

Yes, and it was good but also bad. We gave it 4 months. I started noticing too many differences for it to work in the long term. He was willing to change those differences, but I wasn't looking to change anyone. I wanted to find someone that was like me.
There was some distance that would require relocation and that would have been an issue.
He was a very nice guy though and I feel fortunate to have known him for that time.

Sometimes it just works out that way. I've certainly gone through a few relationships getting to where I am today...and there is no guarantee that where I am today is going to last through my tomorrows. I believe that our willingness and faith in each other will carry us through though. Which makes the previous relationships, both good and bad.. all very worth it.

I've met four people from this site. Three were local, and of the locals... well... it did not work out. I talked to them on the phone and did my best to get a sense of who they were. All our abilities in that are somewhat limited.

I chose/tried to meet people as soon as possible so that I could see who they really were, what they were are all about, and to keep us both from hiding behind the 'online fascade'.

The last person I met was everything he presented himself to be. Is he perfect? Nope. However, I think the fact that I can say that means he is far better than all of the others. We are still together and try to communicate as much as possible to keep things in perspective (we live very far away). As with most things in life, it is what you make of it. And right now, we're both making it pretty great. I don't have a lot of reservations that it won't stay that way. flowerforyou

I must have got lucky. The first gal I met here was everything she said she was. We have been dating for 4 weeks so far.

I have met a few from this site...the first two are very nice guys but not 'the one' I seek.

The 3rd one...OMG!!!...he showed up in filthy dirty clothes and stinking to the high heavens! sick sick sick

I like to give a first good lasting impression when I met someone...whether or not it works out...and that's what I hope to see with others I meet.

POOR HYGINE IS A VERY BIG TURN OFF!!!

Wow... that is sorta funny. I always looked at my bad dating stories as entertainment for my friends. At least you got a good story out of it... flowerforyou

Um, met someone...and we got along quite well on here and talking on the phone. In person was a totally different thing though. He seemed put off by me...even though I'm always me and I had already sent him a picture. Kinda seemed like a waste of his time driving here and an entire weekend. So if I ever meet someone again I'm going to be thinking long and hard about it first....

I woke up at 3;00 a.m., then spent all day crammed in little seats on big planes.. hauling luggage around airports.....trying to catch connecting flights. Waiting for the airline to figure out which broken plane would be best to use... Drinking coffee like it was going out of style.

I could have cared less how I looked, smelled, presented myself... by the time I got there!

For my trouble? I get to hear stuff like this!
As with most things in life, it is what you make of it. And right now, we're both making it pretty great.


So I'm thinking that my best foot forward was not needed.

I would reply that your "foot", best or not, was not what was 'needed'... smooched

You most likely were yourself, and never pretended to be otherwise. No smoke and mirrors involved. flowerforyou

OK, so you had a good excuse. I could see this happening for someone...but this guy came from his home, which was maybe 20 minutes away from me. I talked it over with a friend who suggested I give this guy a second chance...Sure, EVERYONE deserves a 2nd chance...He got his 2nd chance...believe it or not, 2nd meeting was even worse...he was even more filthy and smelly than the first time we met. sick sick sick

A HUGE FRICKIN' TURN OFF!!
*sorry no 3rd chances with me.* :angry:
