After receiving the approval from some friends, I posted on a BB and met someone ( I did this Friday).

That same day I got a response from someone. She seemed very nice. I got home and logged on to Yahoo IM and to my surprise, she Im'd me a hello (note, I never told her I was on Yahoo). At any rate, I began to chat with her, then she had to take off.

Saturday:

She Im'd me again, we chatted for an hour, then she asked if she could call me... and she did...we talked for about 3 hours. After talking, I asked if she'd like to meet to talk in person, she agreed. We met at the theatre to go see a movie, but we had an hour or so to kill, so we talked even more. Check this out, she likes Star Wars, LOTR, she's a computer tech girl, she likes geeky things. I don't have any pictures, but she was cute. Overall a very nice girl, but...

I chatted with her Sunday and she acted a little different...how so? well, she seems like one of those girls that once they find out your're interested, the little games begin. Just stupid little things... I wish I had a better example, but she liked to mention how she got a lot of responses and how her ex's were still in love with her and wondering why I was single. Asking me what attracts me to women (specific bodily parts)...further proving that meeting people online probably isn't the greatest idea. After one day, I've decided to retire, hehe. Any thoughts?

did you send her a pic of you before?

She probably doesn't find you physically attractive.

No big deal, just find another who does.

Good move. Glad you realized early on that you didn't care to behave in a relationship the way she was carrying on. Sounds like she's kind of stuck in the past when it comes to talking about her ex-boyfriends, etc.

However, don't give up on the on-line thing. Keep trying ...

I tried it last year for a while. It takes up too much time doing the online way. Sure, you get to meet people once in a while but getting to the point can be frustrating.

oh no, I sent her a picture of me...heck, she new I wasn't GQ. If she didn't think I was that attractive, she would have not bothered to respond... :) though, I've learned that you can't make everyone happy, no loss.

To be honest, I think she wasn't prepared for a normal person, hehe. When I arrived to see her, I stuck out my hand and said "hello", then she says "no hug?" so I hugged her (a little weird if you ask me). I don't think it was an attraction thing, I think she just likes having guys around her. I've dated these types...ugh.

I posted on Craigslist. Sort of a quasi BB.

I met my girlfriend on match.com. Neither one of us are the playing games type, so it has just worked out. It does work for some people.

who knows, just taking life with a grain of salt. A friend would be nice, but I can say no to leeches. I had to pay, ti was the first date... (at least thats how I remember it being).

yeah, I wouldn't say she was crazy, I would say she was a little troubled.
Trust me, she's crazy. You just saw the tip of the iceberg :)

I must have had a unique experience then, because my girlfriend is neither fat nor crazy.

The classy thing to do if you ask me. Definitely sounds like she's either into playing games or wants attention or both. You are obviously above that so I'd forget about her.

Why not give it one more "meeting"/date? I met one of my best friends on AOL 7 years ago. She's not crazy either. In fact she's quite beautiful. One other girl ended up becoming a 3/4 year relationship.

Meeting someone online isn't that strange. I bet tons of people meet through Friendster and MySpace now. That's not as weird because you are "connected" through people but you're still strangers. I actually think meeting online is easier to learn things about people because you might discover they're a spaz before you meet them or that you wouldn't get along and not waste your time out there. I'd definitely rather meet someone in person but meeting someone online has it's "perks."

I was debating that... mostly because I have very little to lose. But then again, sometimes the mob does rule. :D
