Online dating??

I met my OH on a normal chat site,
I didnt have any condifence and so i spoke to various guys never met them just liked the banter and talking really male attention etc, Then started speaking to 'Ben' and we spoke alot online anyway I was shopping in town and walked past the shop he said he worked and poked my head in to see if I could see him ( we exchanged pics) and didnt want to get caught but he seen me i went shy and walked out LOL... I got home to an email I still have saved that said 'hey I thought you said you look worse in person than your pics - unless that wasnt you you lied to me'
and yea he gavee me all my confidence - now i just need body to go with it.

Thumbs UP for online dating.. Peple are the same wherever you meet them.. Some lack good manners, some are broken souls, some show signs of prior relationship damage, and SOME are just who you might be looking for.

I say go for it, just let your intellect and intuition be your guide. Expect Respect, and treat potential date interests fairly and HONESTLY. Thats means use only CURRENT pictures, and be absolutely honest in writing your profile.

Guys, its your job to arrange a comfortable date experience with some thoughtful planning.. By all means, show a girl some respect and dont be so "handsy" with someone you just met. If all goes well, over time, a lady will let you know whether your affection is welcome and wanted..

Ladies, its your place to set the pace of how "familiar" you'd allow a guy to be around you. Also.. Dont be TOO Coy.. Its OKAY to initiate contact with the guy you like.. I know its a popular perception that a lady likes the guy to demonstrate his true interest in you by keeping in touch based on your "expectations".. The truth is that rarely works out! If you expect the guy to always be the one who calls, texts or writes, he may not really know where he stands with you!. Give your guy some help.. When communication is a 2 way street between honest adults, everyone feels more "wanted" and welcome..

For the Guys and the Ladies.. Dont become a "ghost", when a first date does'nt inspire you. Its smart to let your date know that you did'nt feel the chemistry.. Do it in some way thats polite and without insult..

Every single crazy-stalker-psychopath that I have ever had the displeasure of spending more than 5 minutes with, I met on a dating site. One guy that I "thought" might be okay because we clicked was the worst. First of all, when I saw him, I then knew why he always had on a hat in his pictures...he had a growth the size of a golfball sticking out of his head. I didn't want to be a vain, shallow, b!tch, so I still went out on a date. We both liked karaoke, so went to the bar where he sipped on diet coke....except for when he went to the bathroom (I thought he had an itty-bitty bladder at first). Turned out that every time he went to go tinkle, he'd swing by the bar and kick back a couple of shots....liquid courage, right? Well, unbenownst to me, I got into the car with a drunk driver who then proceeded to hit a parked car because he wasn't paying attention. I ended up in the ER with whiplash, and from the airbag a black eye and split lip and he went to jail. Took me three months and a restraining order to get rid of him because he just knew that we were "soulmates". uuuuuhhh....no buddy....we are not.
