haha i just met this girl and sent an email: pics??

and she goes "no pics, but maybe if i get to know you a little better we can meet"


now see, this was why i asked for pics in the first place... anyways, this just got me curious... would you be a gentleman and do whatever it was you were going to do, then say "i don't think it will work out" or would you just leave before she saw you :p

All the people I've met that I first met online have been guys so it's never been an issue.

I've had this happen. I stuck around and went through with the evening. I said good night, and said I had to go and do some homework. She didn't try to get in touch with me, and I didn't try to get in touch with her, and we left it at that. Even if she had been hot, it wouldn't have gone much further. Very strange girl. Fun, but we were definitely not compatible.

So that is how it is with you? Meeting at rest stops on the highway...

If I had the chance to, and assuming that I was sure that who I was looking at was the right girl..........then yeah, probably. :)

But she could be a hot blonde cheerleader and she's just testing you to see if you care about appearance! I think you should operate under the assumption that she's going to be a hottie and meet her... then you can tell us all about it.

I wouldn't walk away. I would do whatever we planned like have lunch etc. Even though I am a guy I won't post my pic on the net either. I meet a girl on line and after a while I sent her my pic, but I try to get to know someone first. How long have you been chatting with this girl?

I would not because I know I'm not gonna be in any girl's dreams at night and how I'd be pissed if I waited for nothing. I would strike up polite conversation, try to have a good time, pretty much be how I am with people I am attracted to, and go from there.

The first part was sarcasm. The second part is possible future fun for us. :)

I had a similar expereince a year ago. I met this girl on AIM who lived in NY. We started by chatting on AIM constantly. And then we took the next step and called each other. We won each other over with our typing words, but you can't fool someone as easily over the phone. To put it bluntly, we were hooked. I couldn't stop talking or calling her. I bugged her constantly for pics, but she didn't have a scanner so she instead opted to mail me her pics and a letter she wrote. To this day, I still have that letter and pictures in the original envelope. Once I received them and saw what she looked like, it wasn't all taht bad, but it didn't meet my expectations, or to be politically correct, she wasn't my type. She was probably the thinnest and most curvacious woman you have ever seen, but her face is what thrwe me off. She was african-american/caucasian and her mouth took up like half her face. I'm sorry, she got those big black woman lips that so turned me off. Anywho, after that, I know it was weird but I cut off all communication with her. But being a good guy, I wasn't an ass about it, but instead wrote her a long-winded email (2 pages) about why I knew that it wouldn't work out. For heaven's sakes! She was planning to move to CA and go to school her and she was getting ready to pick up a plane ticket and go to a local jc college near me in San Diego! We even planned it down to me picking her up at the airport and what we would be wearing and what would be going through our minds. I don't know why I still remember all this, but I think that once I received that letter, reality finally hit me in the balls, HARD...I wasn't ready for this. I was a freshman in college for gosh sakes! I didn't realize I was strapping myself down like I was. I just suffer from lonliess (like a billion other amiericans) and found it in the wrong place.

Trust me guys, finding love on net is not the way to go. Although it's easier to win someone over with words first (without seeing them), you might regret it later. Well it's not for everyone is what I'm saying (at least not me).

Hahah, yeah I wish I set boundaries before it got serious! That's what I think both parties involved should do. Sit down with them and chat about what you each want out of this relationship and where you want it to go (of course to a point; nothing like marriage or scary crap like that). But at the rate we were going, we might as well ahve gotten married. Geez, it was so fast my head was spinning! I hope that someone learns something from my experieces somewhat and if anybody has any more specific questions of thoughts to shoot me way, feel free to PM me. :)

Exactly.

Flip side. Words can be truer, so it can test you. Do you care about looks, or the person on the inside. Trust me, looks are golden in the sack, but it wont get you a 30 year long happy marriage. Words and emotions do that.

Tough choice. If it were me, I make it clear straight up. If I meet online, its startin off sex. Thats it. If I find out you have a good personality and are someone I can click with, we'll go from there. But, startin off? Its all about dat azz.

And thats how you do it. :)

I contributed to the thread!! Leave me alone! It was just a comment on the side, not meant to hi-jack the thread.
I still say, start with sex. I bet 98% of onjline relationships fall flat on there ass in about 3 weeks anyways. Maybe not though, I dont really keep track. No, probably not.

Hell, date her dude. Show us it can be done. :)
