Can Internet Dating/Friendship sites really work?

I have met someone a few months back we progressed from the site, to msn, to txts, to phn calls. He is coming up to meet me as we live quite a way from eachother. I am worried that I will get too attached or I will scare him away. How should I act? What should I arrange for us to do for the weekend? x

I have seen ppl getting married this way... so relax.. be yourself and enjoy his company.. i am sure u guys had something to talk abt when he would call, so why shud meeting in person be any different... :)
Reply:its can be hard having a long distance relationship, the thing you have to overcome is the amount of time you have put in already to this relationship, don't be scared of saying no, and walking away, dont think that you have to be with someone just because you have spent a long time with them, its your choice. think about whats best for you, is it going to be hell being apart from him, or dose the space make things better, so that when you call, txt etc you have the rime in between to think about what your going to say or need a friendly voice to talk to, if you are going to do something, be safe, tell a friend or take a friend with you, go to see a film, or sport, or just go dancing. just enjoy the time you have with each other.
Reply:i met my husband (7 years we have been together) over the net. he lived over 300 miles away. we talked over the phone and net for about 4 months before we met.


you should act yourself don't try to be anything else cus if he is interest then what will be will be. don't push anything try to avoid getting drunk with him (as you really do not know this person) go to the pictures, dinner, long walk, conversation is the key to it all.
Reply:It's a 50/50. My sister met her husband online and have been happily married since. I, on the other hand, get rejected because I am not a buff, rich, tall man. So it depends on how superficial the person in question is.





You shouldn't 'act'. You should be yourself. Even if it means you being 'needy' or 'clingy'.
Reply:In answer to you're first question yes they can (depending on the person obviously) and dont feel too nervous, you've been talking to him for a few months now right?so you should feel comfortable, if you're not then perhaps you should put it off for a while, just be yourself he already likes you for that or wouldnt be going to meet you, ideas for the weekend...depends what you're both into really
Reply:I met my boyfriend online 4 months ago and so far things r pretty good...personally i think that internet dating sites are better than meeting someone at a bar cuz theres alot u can find out about the profile they make so youdont really have to do the initial screening....


as far as your case is concerned I think you should be yourself..i was very nervous too initially cuz I had NEVER tried any internet websites (I was stupid enough to meet him after only a month of chatting, but Im glad hes a good guy)...just be yourself...if its meant to work out it will if he doesnt like the way u r then there will be someone else who will....plus u dont wanna pretend to be someone else and then take the risk ofhim finding the real u later!
Reply:Man, pubs and clubs and even libraries are full of real women that you can see and chat, once you get experienced in the art of socialize without scare people you have all what you want.





How to change the real thing for the lies and signs in a computer, no way at all, nothing more exciting that to chat with a woman, personally.
Reply:You'll only know when you actually meet.It can occasionally work,but online "relationships" rarely translate well to the real world.Even if you've been talking on the phone for some time,you still only have a rough idea of what the other person is like.I think you should just do whatever you've been talking about together.I hope it works out for you.





Good luck x
