I've been talking to someone else for 2 days now, along with the other guy as a friend. Who has mentioned meeting up (obviously in a public place).

We chatted online for hrs and then txted aswell.

Spoke to him for the first time today. Then he said he had to go and will prob be in touch later.
Im not sure what he thinks of me....i am nervous, excited and i feel like i am in love. What a fool i am.:-s

Its strange how i didnt seem to freeze up at the thought of talking to him. I was a little bit nervous but that was it.
I felt like i was just chatting to a friend, getting to know them.

He offered info abt what kind of girls he has been with. They sounded like short term encounters and nothing serious.
He gave the reason cos he hadnt clicked with anyone.
Should i be worried?

Im trying to keep my feet on the ground, but cant stop grinning like a cheshire cat.
Im thinking abt what to wear IF we do meet up.
Do i dress up or dress down?
What abt physical contact?
Is it good to have any or none?
Lord knows how desperate i am right now for a mans touch....LOllll

I told my friend that im thinking abt meetin him but she said its too soon.

Thing is he lives an hrs drive away and is only off on tuesdays.
Now what with the summer hols coming up i could prob only meet with him whilst the kids r still at school.

I feel like a bloody teenager....lollll

Hey uandme

Having done a little internet dating and stuff one thing I want to stress to you is have a safe call if you do meet.

Get a mate to call you at set times and give them info like where you are meeting, his name etc etc. Just makes sense.

Doesnt sound silly to be all axcited about meeting a guy you like, from my experience internet things can be really intense and you get a chance to be a lot more frank and intimate than you maybe would if you'd just met in person. My experience is good, I am now in a realtionship which started online a year ago and I knew he was the one from the word go.

BUT!

Just remember to keep your wits about you and to keep safety as a prority, like dont drink too much and safe calls etc.

I would say go meet for a coffee or drink or whateverm daytime is probs best and see if you have a spark in person.

Good luck!!!!

Awww..thats really good to hear. Abt u and ur partner.
I got this really strong feeling aswell...but i dont know.
I agree with the safety thing and daytime is definitelty better.
I dont drink anyway ...so no worries there
I do feel like flirting with him alot more but i dont want him to think that im always like that with everyone.

Thanks for sharing....

But you can get a good feeling online and it might not be there when you meet face to face.
So be prepared for that eventuality too, how will you cut it short, tell him you have to be home by a certain time so you have time to work out if you like him, that could be extended later if you didn't want to rush home.

I was chating to him online today and he said he needed to tell me something....my heart just sank.
Apparently he came here a while ago and overstayed his welcome.

Is that the reason why he got in touch with me in the first place.

For my British passport, he says it isnt.
But i had my doubts in the beginning abt why would anyone want to be with a woman with 3 kids.
But i still tried to trust again after having my trust badly broken in the past by my ex.

Dont know what to think now...

where is he from originally?? i though he lived an hour away??

i think i would be concerned too...

but overall there is no set time you need to wait to meet someone, it would be no different to meeting them in a pub or club..
