Well, you seem very happy. and I am certain your man is too.

But hours of phone calls? Well, considering the time spent on here, I guess it is no different

awwwwwwwwww myxt........ it's her loss hon !

I've met a few (in person) from dating online... I know you were asking 'MALES'... but thought I'd toss in my opinion...

i've heard many stories of women / men chatting for HOURSSSSSSSS... then WEEEEEEEKS... and still not meeting. (I'm talking about close proximatey here not long distance) anyway.. I don't understand why ppl prolong meeting ... why spend so much time online/msn or phone get to know each other...why not meet after a few conversations instead of draggin it out ?
I don't get it either.. it's a waste of time...

Personally I talk a few times on msn and If we seem to 'click'... we both suggest a 1/2 way meeting point in a public place and take it from there...

However.. if it's long distance well thats a whole other story lol

Just my 2 cents worth :) happy fishing !

Somehow, through some kind of crazy mix up in the computer system, I ended up meeting a guy off a site, by accident. His name was Bruce and surprisingly, after the shock wore off and with a little adjustment, the experience really wasn't all that bad. I mean, although uncomfortable, we were both polite enough to at least go through with the date and surprisingly, we had a great time. In fact, it was the most successful date I've had so far off a dating site! We still stay in touch.

Dragon, when I first joined last year you seemed like such a die hard Bachelorette but then WHAM! You got fished!

I loooooooooove a good "You've got mail story". May I ask, how did you meet? It's such a long distance, you two are about 1/4 the way around the globe? How did it happen? Business trip? You come here? He go there?

Yah, I'm being nosey but it's cuz I'm happy as hell for ya and love to revel in other peoples magik!

met 3 from this site.......many more from other sites in person...many who have remained friends...but this site has the best forums by far.
well if it doesnt work out ..I just put them on my mailing list and forward them some neat jokes/unusual info....
your profile doesnt say much...except that youre an ex serviceman..looking for women18-36 live in ?..
seems that youre targetting those who want a sugardaddy.....are you ?

I've met many woman here in person and it's all been good! I don't do the chat thing and I've always been the type that says two e-mails then the phone then we meet. I find that this cuts out the b.s of the people that are just playing.
I've met ladies here that have become wonderful and true friends. If this page was long enough I would list them all.

I very rarely meet anyone on here. In most cases, as of late...I'd get women that friggin talk my ear off on the phone. Sometimes 2 hours at a time....then when it comes to meeting, they make up some sort of lame excuse not to meet.

I am lucky if I meet someone from online more than 2 times a year.

impossible Hac Your smile could launch ships. Surely you have recieved a lot of mail


OTB,

Thank you. You are sweet to say that, but no, I do not receive all that much mail at all. When I first signed onto here, I did get quite a bit, I figured it was because I was a new fish in the pond. I sent out a few myself, but well only one that I sent actually materialized into chatting, but I don't mind, he is a great guy and well I am hopeful of meeting him here one day soon.

I am new to the online dating. I met someone in person after about my first 3 weeks on these sites, one time. We are still good friends and chat alot but decided we just live too far apart and neither one of us are ready to pick up and move.

I am fairly new to POF and haven't met anyone from here yet. I have made some wonderful acquantinces that will result in meeting, but I did meet someone from another site years ago that was a wonderful, loving , passionate man. He was everything I had hoped for and more. Unfortunately the few years we spent together were cut short when God called him home early. But it taught me that you can find that one special person you seek. Call it luck, call it a gamble. It can and does happen..Have faith and keep trying.

This is that last dating site Im on but all of the one's I've tried over the years, I've only met one gal IRL and we dated for a good while till it turned out our goals were just too different to continue dating.

I've chatted with a few over the years and have made a few aquaintences but other then that, nothing spectacular.

I've met girls from AFF in the past when I was an active member there. Was after I'd finally gotten rid of my ex and just looking for some fun.

I was with my ex for about 4½ years and got to know her online. I'd met her once in person through a mutual friend (my roomate at the time) and then started talking to her online all the time. After a few months of that, my business partner bought out my half of the business and I'd moved up here to TBay with her. Things were good for over 4 years, but then we just started drifting apart. Mainly cause of her issues with her parents she refused to deal with.. Was always a problem between us and I guess I just had enough of it.

Anyhow, now that I've sorta gone off topic there.. You can meet people off sites, I know I have. I would suggest though that nobody set there expectations too high, especially for guys. The ratio of men to women isn't exactly even and so women will probably tend to have a higher success rate than men.

Have chatted with a few. Have not met anyone yet. Being very shy, I think I am doing good. Much better then I would do out there. I am enjoying the forums a lot.
