Nah, my friend, it wasn't the angle difference. She definitely looked a lot different as she would tell me how anti-depressants made her gain weight within the past year. So the picture was simply older from when she wasn't so crazy.

'cause let me tell you, not even angles coulda done this girl wonders :p.

I have her facebook so i know that she isn't someone she says she is. I have to drive pretty far to her area so she really has to suggest where we go.

This would be my first time doing this...how many of you have? I keep thinking its going to be terribly awkward.

I met a girl once online too... when I saw her in real life, she looked like she ate the girl in the picture that she gave me :eek:.

How did you tell her that after?

i didn't have too. she said our age difference was too great. i was 20 and she was 25. i think i just stopped talking to her after that.

Dated for an year. Then, she married some other guy.

I just have a regular pic of me playing DDR and D&D....

Is this a parody thread or something? How far are you driving to meet this girl?

i'm kinda confused by why everyone says chris hansen stuff when someone posts about online dating.


unless the girl told him she was underage or hinted at it, i don't see why he would be gettign into trouble? sure, the girl could lie but if he had every reason to believe she was 18+, wouldn't that be entrapment or why would that be wrong?

I went on an internet date last night.

She had a pic online, which was nice, but I thought she was average looking. I usually go out in those situations because I usually get suprised when I meet them in real life. Every single time they look better in person than they do online. When I met her she was like 10 times better looking in real life than in the pic, so I made the right assumption. My jaw hit the floor, then I sorta felt insecure. lol. I got nervous. But we hung out at the steak joint for like 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

She said I looked uncomfortable and I wouldn't really look her in the eyes. She said she'd probably worry for the rest of the night what was wrong with her.. (It was her Double-D's). But she was such a sweetheart, totally cool, and I liked her alot. We departed and today I talked to her on the phone and she said we need to get together again soon. That we didn't have to go out, we could just hang out and BBQ or something along those lines... I was happy to hear that. That means I get to touch the Double-D's.

I've been doing the online dating thing for a while. So far, I've "met" maybe 10 different girls, but actually gone on dates with only 5 -- 2 or 3 of which could be very serious contenders. There's 1 that I've seen a bunch in the last few weeks and I do really like her, but I recently met another that may just replace her. The 3rd is hot and kinda freaky, but she's also a total flake so I'm not holding out the highest of hopes for her.

So all-in-all I've found online dating to be moderately effective. Hell, even my last GF of 2 years I met online.

Good luck!

How long is "a while" that you've been doing it for?

What site do you use to meet them?

Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

Yeah, it's not that big of a deal. Just another way to meet people. After your initial contact it's pretty much like any other relationship. There is still some stigma attached to it though.
