how soon do you know....
Posted: 9/1/2007 8:36:13 PM
i am normally so cynical when it comes to meeting people and relationships.. but i have recently just met someone.. was bizarre, met him whilst waiting for a blind date.. so wasnt an internet date. We just chatted while we were waiting, he said he was really attracted to me and that he would love my number. We exchanged numbers and he was texting straight away... we organised to meet briefly the next day which was wonderful.. and have continually texted each other.. organising to meet again this evening.. he is wonderful.. just as if i had put in an order form with everything i like and he was delivered.... i guess i am just looking for reassurance that this is okay.. that it isnt going too fast... to be talking about how much you like someone ... and to receive messages of i miss you! When we have only known each other for less than 48 hours!!!

Has this happened to anyone else, and was it all good.... i am so hoping.. never met anyone like him, with all the qualities i love...

Hello Just A Girl! Yes, you have met the one in 4 million, who you just click with right away. Of course you will not know the true sincerity of this fellow for a few weeks with more experiences behind you. I would suggest that you don't analyse the situation to the point you are, but just enjoy the moment. Smile and let us all know what happens. My best, Jayda

justa girl...NO I don't think it is too soon, you met him in person, you obviously were attracted to one another.
He could be your Mr. Rite or your soul mate,
Go for it sweetie and enjoy. I wished it could be that simple for some of us.

Good Luck!!!!

Enjoy yourself, and the time with this guy! Sometimes we find the best things in life when we are not looking. Take one day at a time and see where it goes.

Best of luck to you!

Well congratulations, my advice is to go slow. It is great to get swept off your feet, but have you known the guy long enough to know his true personality. I just ended a relationship that lasted 2 years with a woman that I had planned to marry. All the warm fuzzy things were there but then with time, I started seeing other things as well.
Finally, I figured out what was bothering me. We all make mistakes, but she kept making the same ones over and over again. Especially the obvious ones like carrying the guy who bought her car on her insurance. Stuffing cash under the managers door to pay her rent.

There is a lot to be said for long engagements.

This is what is known as..........tired of dating jerks/jerkettes and this one hit all the right buttons.

Slow and steady will win this type of race. Please just remember to NOT ignore when he shows you his true self. And he/she always will. I find people ignore the warning signs as they are fed up with being alone and just toss off what is shown to them as trivial. Don't think you can change him down the road either. Be happy with what you have and choose wisely.

I thank you.

I think it's great to have yet another story about how people who strive for success with internet dating end up meeting someone out in the "real world."

But you wouldn't have been there unless you set up an internet date, so it all pays off in the end. Kudos for a total stranger having the guts to tell you he liked you out of the blue and ask for your number. That's not an easy thing!

But if he's texting "I miss you" when you've know him for 48 hours, I wouldn't worry so much about YOUR bahvior as I would his... god knows how many people he may be picking up and wooing.

Hopefully it's just you, but for the love of Elvis DON'T SLEEP WITH HIM until at least the 5th date. If he waits that long without pressuring you it will be a great sign.

Seconded. Players are masters of the "instant click".

I returned howm yesterday from a 5 day canoe trip with a man whom I had not met in person prior to the trip.
I emailed him today and said I missed him! And I do, he is good company for me and is becoming a dear friend. I couldn't have ask for a better turn of events.
Try to stay with the moment my dear, don't future trip and just enjoy the mans company. You will be surprised what you learn.
Hope this helps :)

It takes about twelve years to know for sure. Or ten years if you live in a country that uses the metric calendar.

Sounds like all the bells and whistles are going off for you - I would go with it and enjoy the ride! The night I met my husband I kinda knew he was going to be mine - forever!! 'Ment to be' encounters are rare and you need to see where it takes you!

watch out is my advice. The guy is probably a freaky nutcase with skeletons in the closet. Take is slowly.

These things never work out.

He probably has all kinds of weird fetishes.

Hope it helps :)

Enjoy the feeling of falling in love! The man I'm with now sent me a text that said "I miss you" about an hour after we left eachother. It's not the amount of time spent together but the quality. If there was a true connection, it shouldn't matter what other people think but what matters to you! Good luck to you!

Good for you that you met someone that seems so great! Maybe it was just meant to be.

I understand your hesitation; I have felt the same way before, but I would suggest just going with the flow if you like him so much.

If you spot any red flags then slow things down and regroup. Otherwise have fun!

I will throw cold water on this and tell you that you need to have some long conversations and walks. He validated you and you reciprocated right away. It would be immediate limerance and you should just take a little time to get a sense for him as a person.

well..it's sad that when something goes so well that we question it.

I do wish u the best..but hun..ur 37 and u should no better that this is too early.
cmon ..48 hours.

In some way, shape or form..you have communicated to him that it is fine to be texting you so often. Myself..this would annoy me (red flag) but you are you.
YOu are also to play with this..ur texting him..he is thinking "wow she's cute/hot..she's really into me..i'm gonna keep messaing and such."

so..enjoy the ride............but this is just the beginning. Be realistic..and take that guy's advice who says not to sleep with him too early.

all the best

Man, don't do this to your self... Turn your computer off....

Go into this with the hope you have. Not looking for reason to be on guard.

Nothing good will come of this. Sign off now.

Don't let these people get you to over think everything that happens, just enjoy it....

F@#K I'm too late...
