No, she's probably ugly, or she could be a guy. :)

Run, run like the wind and don't look back. If she asks to meet you, drive your car, make a pass by, and if she's ugly, just dig and say you forgot to go. :D

BTW, I hope your joking. No woman deserves to be tortured like that, that's just plain mean. If anything, if it doesn't work out, KIT with her for obvious reason...her friends!!! It's all about networking.

You need to exchange pictures and a lot of them,preferably fairly early on if you are considering a dating/romantic involvement with somebody you've connected with online.Everybody either has a scanner or access to one,barring that photo's can be developed and put on CD for under $15.Beware the person who isn't willing to send photo's.

Nah, I would just dig out. Any girl that ugly, might not even have friends, or ugly ones at that. Why KIT with her? Plus if you creep it at a even pace and just drive by, she won't notice you passing by. :D

BTW, this happened to my friend, except he didn't creep fast enough, and she was hiding in the shadows, he stopped, she hopped in, he regretted it. LOL!

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. :)

A few years ago I met this girl online and we exchanged pics.. I thought she looked "ok", but she was really nice and we clicked really well on the phone, so we ended up meeting in person. It turned out her pics didn't do her justice and I was pleasantly surprised (to put it mildly) at the fact that she turned out to be one really hot looking woman. The relationship between us didn't work out over the long term for outside reasons, but we remain great friends and I still talk to her to this day. We may even get together in the future someday, but that's a question for the future..

I dodged some girl who wanted to meet me at a Penguins game a few years back.

probably could have beaten my ass... a bit... shall we say... manly.


Note: i didn't have any sort of 'feelings' for her, or wanted any, she just wanted to meet up at the game... but i still avoided.

i think online is a much better way to get to know a girl than, say, in some bar...

Of course, caution if someone doesnt want to send pictures...

Btw. i think it's amazing that i already met a lot of girls online which *all* always ask for my pics after like 10mins into a conversation, but many of them did NOT send their own pictures or hesitate to send their own pictures even if i sent mine :)

To make a long story short, i met my wife online in beginning of 2000, she sent me her picture the next day (hee, hee, i was positively surprised :) and now we already are in our 3rd year of marriage with the result of me having moved from Europe to the states.

I know, girls might call that chauvinistic or whatever, but i *always* want to see how a person looks like, and looks *do* play a role because i am only a guy :)

I also want to state that there are *plenty* of very hot girls out there (online), but it takes time to find them. Usually very hot girls do NOT spend their whole time online chatting, but there are exceptions. You just have to know where to look :)

If you are trying to meet a potential gf online, then I'd say pics are important to get first... but there are plenty of people out there who try to hook up as "new-found-friends" only... where pics aren't important and you wouldn't have to act as shallow...

Don't take that the wrong way, it's just the truth and we all know it and go by it...

Reading the rest of the thread... if you want someone to "just have fun with" without a long term relationship... I don't know why you'd dodge someone who you seemingly match up with on a personality level.

That's harsh... should've asked to meet at a less "expensive/big event" type of place so it wouldn't be a big loss if you didn't hit it off..., but still... very harsh...

Pics first can save a lot of heartbreak.

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).

wow, nice post....


i'll be honest though, i'm not really looking for a terribly long term relationship here... just want to have some fun that's all

Yeah and then you wake up in a bathtub full of ice with the words "I cut out your liver, call 911 or you'll die" written on the mirror with lipstick :Q :Q

Well she has/had season tickets so she was going ot be there anyway. It isn't like I told her to buy tickets and come meet me. :)

she was also the one who said we should meet up... wasn;t my idea.

The only thing internet relationships are good for (but not in all cases I know some people that are living happily) is the mind in my experience. And that's all I have to say about that...

I wouldn't meet in real life a girl from online unless I saw pics by god. And, if they were the wrong pics or she'd lied, then I'd turn around and walk away yes.

i met a boy on the internet because we were on the same board and we had mutual friends irl so it wasn't a completely weird thing for us to go on a date.

my friends who knew him tried to warn me but i was being all "oh i don't care about looks"

so we went out, i went into bitchy bad date mode [haha] and we never went out again.

note to self: ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS.
