Ever had a positive gut feeling to a match on line

And it turned out to be as strong when you met?
Just interested really .... matched with a man who, from photos is v attractive to me and our chat is easy going, interesting and shared humour.
Not over investing here but of all the men I've chatted to via text , I felt strongly that he might be a good match when we meet.
Did it ever translate in real life for you from a strong gut feeling ?
I haven't had that gut feeling so far after months of matches and a few dates .

Yep- met DH within a week of last relationship finishing, so not ideal. Plus had just moved to a big city and really not looking for anything. Just had a feeling about him- 15 years and two children later, I reckon my feeling was spot on!

All healthy relationships start like that. But many unhealthy relationships feel like that at the start too.

Go with it, have fun whilst it's fun... that might be for the rest of your life, or for a week, until he says something that turns you off.

You can't know, yet. Just enjoy it.

Yep, my husband. Been together 9 years now, married 4.

Not always true sadly, two that stand out the most for me, one didn't fancy me and the other we did date for a year, although any dates I felt meh about, I shouldn't of gone because it always turned out that they weren't for me. It can be a good sign on your behalf but just be wary until you know them better and how they feel.

I don't know if it's just been bad luck but the men I've matched with and chatted to ( late forties ) have either been married , attached , looking for sex straight away, or generally sleazy. The one or two who I dated either stared at my chest for the evening or spoke about themselves ad nauseum.
I was instantly attracted to this mama photos . No stupid poses, just normal and tasteful pictures and a few beautiful pictures of nice places.
He seems just normal .
Weird feeling but entirely acceptable , I know .

Go for it and enjoy. It happened to me. Still early days but it’s been amazing so far.

Yes. I saw my DP on a website and felt an incredibly strong pull towards him. I wasn't I the right place but when I was a couple of months later I joined a different website and there he was. During those couple of months I thought about him a lot, he really drew me in.
Been together 2 years. He is the most wonderful, kind, decent man and I adore him.
