To the deployed soldier….I think that finding online chat buddies is fine, but I don’t think that trying to find a woman online is a good idea while you are deployed. Unless you are planning to be home in less than a month. Don’t forget that she’s dating other people, so you may also be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Its been a while since I’ve been on here. I met the guy that I have been talking to online. Its like what Grace said. Everything was great online/phone. (Course, I wasn’t looking for a relationship and neither was *Bob*)

We met one night for ice cream and talked for several hours. I could feel his resistance a little towards the end of our meeting. I could feel that I wasn’t what he thought. Perhaps what he had built in his mind was different than that he saw.

Its been over two weeks since we’ve met and no phone calls… or emails… Its kinda depressing, but now I have learned my lesson!! I’m not going to wait for a month and a half before meeting someone, perhaps then I won’t be so disappointing to the next person… :)

I met someone wonderful online; the emails, the texts and infrequent but prevalent phone calls were amazing. I truly thought that this could have gone to become a fruitful relationship. We carried on this way for about a month and half communicating in someway every single day. Alas, the actual “flesh and blood” meet up arrived and well, it wasn’t the same. I’m not sure if we both had created someone in our minds that seemed like the proper fit but it didn’t work out. I actually got really depressed because I fell for someone who I’m still not sure ever really existed. It left me confused, how two people could exchange such meaningful words and have it collapse in one night. I’m ever hopeful of course but yes, it’s true what this article is recommending, meet sooner than later it can save you a lot of grief.

I have been waiting because I didn’t want to move to fast like Ive done in the past. I know he still has interest in me, but this article makes sense! We might be wasting each other’s time with these long emails and hours on IMing.

I should meet him soon–this is my second “sign” today telling me to do so.

I shall email him tonight… :)

Wish me luck!

I met my husband on a dating service and we chatted online for a couple of month, then on the phone, and then we finally met in person. By the time we met, we knew so much about each other and had formed some deep feeling. You CAN tell alot by a “typed word”, but always be honest. So, our first meeting went wonderful and now we have been married for 3 years.

I wish you luck, anymore questions, please ask.
