Asking all you men out there!!! (and woman you can put in your 2 cents, also.)
I would like to know what it means when a guy you just started emailing here on this site keeps asking to meet with you and take you places. It hasn't even been a week of communication and this guy wants to get together next weekend already. I'm new to this online dating stuff and need lots of advice!
And yes I do consider myself to be very leery and cautious! It's the 21st century, with too much sick stuff happening all around us!
Is he desperate? Is he a lech? Is he clueless? (to think a woman is going to meet with you after a very short and brief get-to-know-you session)
Is he..........?

i dont blame you for being cautios there are alot of nuts out there. but who knows maybe he just felt a connection and wanted to get the ball rollin.
he might be really into who who knows? try asking him and see what he says. well he will see this and may find out pretty soon.

I would say it depends on how ready you are to think of a serious relationship. For me, a week or two of emails at least a week on phone, then if I felt ok about him I might meet him someplace neutral and public.
Not making a judgement for someone else that would just be the way I feel about it.
I do want to make it clear on here that I am new to this and new to dating but I handled a simi truck for 15 years mostly by myself, except when I was training men to drive, and in every major city in the country. I feel if I could do that and never lose a load then I can handle a man in a public place. Not all women have had that advantage.

Girl, see how he reacts if you tell him you'd feel more comforatble waiting a bit longer to meet.........if he's an a** about it, there ya go. If not, cool. I would wait a while longer because I have seen the nicest men turn into monsters on dating sites. It's flippin' spooky.

Walt - I don't think he'll see this because he does not do forums.
Tinman - I agree that "Internet Dating is really not Dating. It is like the foreplay for
dating." "The guy is not desperate", I'm not so sure or why else am I asking. "maybe
be a little understanding of the different and sometimes very long roads some of the
people that are attempting to communicate with you have ridden to get to your door."
This is an interesting perspective that I did not consider and appreciate your bringing
up. "They may be perfectly normal people", but is it too soon even if we had met in a
bar, coffeshop, mall, etc. to say they want to take me to places or walk and hold
hands! Shouldn't a suggestion of a phone call be more appropriate to ask after some
time of emailing?
I asked this question to get real answers and I would like them to keep coming!
Thanks for your input so far!!

Your further comment is noted and taken. I've dealt with many different men in my time

Interesting you should ask a question that has been bouncing inside my head for a time now.
I would probably say that Internet Dating is really not Dating. It is like the foreplay for pre-dating. By this, I think I mean, you preview (lightly) 100 profiles, of those you sort of like the words on 50 of them. Of the fifty you read and liked, only 20 had pictures. You emailed all 20 and also some of the "no pics" and only 5 answered. You wrote something cute back to encourage a response. Of the ones that wrote back, one insults you and calls you a reptile, another calls you a pervert , and only 2, left you with any desire to write a second time. This is your chance! This has been going on for days, weeks and in cases months.
This guy is not desperate, (he was there after only a week) he is floating in the juices of desire and despair (which any chemist can tell you are highly toxic to your communication abilities) you might suggest he takes a second look at the movie "there is something about Mary", very tactfully and duck when you suggest it!
I would think that the ladies may want to put on their "help the boys" hat, and look at these situations as "in need of TLC and understanding, and compassion". By this I don't mean you have to become Mother Teresa, or compromise your values. Perhaps it would be appropriate to show a little understanding of the different and sometimes very long and dusty roads, some of the people that are attempting to communicate with you, have traveled to get to your door.
Does he really want to have cold hearted sex (maybe his hormones are screaming YESSSS!) but, could he really be looking for the compassion that would finally tell him, he has reached his destination, and no longer will he be required to continue such an arduous journey? We all really want the same thing. To be loved and love in return.
Only way a lonely soul can see for himself, if he is at the end of his journey, is to meet with her, the object of his quest. Only then will he know. Would you make a thirsty man wait days or weeks before offering him a sip so he may see if it tastes like home?

OK, here go's..lol
I see it slightly different, I think.. if he sounds interesting- set up a short very public meeting first,, no matter how it go's keep it short, give yourself time to soak it in later..
this is because. you can waste a lot of time in here on someone that is not at all what they say they are,, short meeting will likely uncover this.
will let you know if he looks like his picture- or if it is a really old picture and he actually looks nothing like it,, also- will let you know if in real world he is a total d*ck!!
you can not tell from internet..
however.. if he is in too much of a rush-- something doesn't sound right!!
A GOOD WOMAN IS WELL WORTH WAITING FOR !!!!

JMHO Gumby you must be out of your mind set up a meeting right away. I don't care if he does or doesn't look like his picture I am not going to put myself in that position right away. That is why I stayed safe on the road anywhere in this great country, It is because I did not take stupid [for a woman] chances.

the store is always crowded so we can feel more at ease.
but she was rushing for us to meet so i said what the hell i wasnt doing anything anyways.

Hello 512. Gumby I have read and responded to your posts for weeks and I know what you look like. I also know how you think. I would not be afraid to meet with you or the other men who have been on the forums for awhile. But someone that only tells me in a profile or a few emails who he is uh uh no way.
I hate to beleaguer the point but my pics are 2 mo. old and there are a lot of things go on out here that men are not aware of even in broad daylight. I have had a drunk boyfriend drag me out of a bar full of people and me begging someone to help me. Not one person offered to help. I got slapped around right in front of them.
I am one woman that will never depend on others to take care of me I will make sure I am safe. They can recognize me by my pictures and jump me before I even get from the car to the meeting place.
If I sound hard that is ok with me but I have been raped by a so called friend and often beat up. I know what can happen if a woman is not prepared and it won't be happening to this woman again.
And that is my last word on the subject. Take it away boys and girls.

QOH - I am so sorry to hear of your tragedies. It should never have to happen to anyone
and especially to a nice person like you. I thank you for so candidly and honestly
opening your life experiences with me and this site. I only hope that you can move
forward with your life and keep a perspective on things so not to keep yourself bolted
inside your home, never taking a chance again to meet someone NICE who will give you the
things you want, need and deserve.

I have had a lot of therapy but I have moved on those things happened alot of years ago. I do want to say I never would have been able to do a job in a mans would as trucking was 20 years ago without those experences. That is how I learned to keep myself safe.
I just do not want those things to happen to you LTR or any of the other fine women I have met on here that is why I can open up about my experiences.
Thanks for the Hug luv you all and think first.

Ltrmnded,
Your pics & profile project an all-American, girl-next-door image. You did a great job telling us who you are, where you've been, & where you want to go. I think 90+% of the men on this site would be emailing you wanting immediate meetings if they were within a 100 mile radius.
You obviously aren't comfortable enough yet to meet this man in person so tell him that. Ask him why he wants to get together so soon. He may already be feeling a connection that you don't yet share, so he is already dreaming about the possibilities & is ready for the next step.
I'll add a few suggestions in case you reach the point where you are ready for that first face-to-face:
1) Ask a friend (preferably 6'7", 295lb, pro wrestler) to come along & stay within 3'.
2) Park your car somewhere not visible to your meeting place, & walk to the meeting. Put a good book in your purse & plan to sit where you are for 1 hour after he leaves.
3) Wear layers, put a wig & a shopping bag in your purse. As soon as you realize he belongs on a different planet, skip to the ladies room, shed your outer layer, put on the wig & fly away. Or borrow Harry's invisibility cloak.
4) Ask your local police precinct to let you meet in their interrogation room.
5) If you are in Texas, pack yer pistol. Check what's legal in your neck a the woods--mace, sulfuric acid, poisonous snakes? Be a good girl scout & BE PREPARED!
In other words, it's okay to be in charge of your life. Just don't jump out of the airplane without a parachute.
Wishing you many pleasant surprises?

LTR: if you have to ask, you aren't ready to meet him...not even for a minute. Tell him you aren't ready, and if he's any kind of a man, he'll wait...have him agree to continue to email, then have him agree to phone conversation until you are ready, IF you are ready, to meet him in person. This happened to me. I got the guy to agree to email, then phone conversation, and then would I decide on face to face. I got as far as phone conversation... *grin*

I think if you talk to the guy online and it feel right to you. And you both lay out the rules then why not. Even if after you meet, you end up having sex SO What your both over 21 and if your intentions are to start a reletionship and hes aren't. Well after the fact you are not less of a Lady. But he is for sure a pig. So hold your head hi. Cause for everyone that plays the game there are lots of us on here that are for real.

I don't think a week of communicating is too short a time before meeting someone, if the quality of your exchanges has been positive. People are different, and some are not all that comfortable communicating on the net. I suggest using your intuition, and of course playing it safe in an initial encounter. Certainly, make it in the daytime, in a public place. And don't give out information that could be used to scope you out. Let someone know where you're going to be. It's good advise not to have your car right at hand. In the worst case scenario, take the advise of experts if you think you're being followed: make four right turns in a row; if a car following does so too, head for a brightly lit public place where you can get help. I would prefer to meet a guy in person before I'd give him my telephone number; I've got a land line, for one thing, and even with a cell phone, giving your number out can be risky; you might find yourself fielding middle of the night calls from a drunk, or worse. I don't even give out my e-mail readily.

Many of the suggestions above are great. Make sure he is who he is before you meet.
Do a backround check, you can go through public records.
There is alot to be said for woman's intuition. Yours is waving flags and flashing lights. If you have to ask here if you should meet him I think you are wanting a "No not yet" answer to confirm your gut feeling. Better safe than sorry so what harm can come from giving yourself more time to find out more about him? ALOT MORE.

Ltr Ask him to wait a bit longer. To me a week is not long enough time to know someone on line. I think you need time talking on the phone. More time to "feel him out" find out if he is one of the "nuts" out there. Then meet in a public place. That way if you find you don't click with him you can leave on your own.

Hello ltrminded,, I'd just like to share an experience I had a couple yrs ago. I met a guy from new york online,,, we talked on line and on the phone for several months. Then one day out of the blue he sent me a picture of himself with a gun,, I was very startled at this and when I asked him what he was going to do with it (on the instant messenger) he said he was going to shoot me. Shoot me like a deer,, needless to say, that conversation was over and I slept with a loaded gun next to me for a long time. I didnt talk to anyone on line for a LONG TIME. You never know who you are talking to. I have met alot of very nice people but there are alot of fruit cakes out there as well. You can have to be cautious. Thanks and best of luck to you,,,,, Ladybear

The police in Baltimore have killed two people in two weeks using 50,000 volt Tazers so they're talking about not using them anymore. If we're quick, maybe we can place a bulk order & take all of them off their hands at a deep discount. Shall we organize, girls?

I know most of you ladies are very smart about men. My advice, if you are going to carry a taser (or gun), get some training. You can kill yourself with it too. It's no different than a gun in the wrong hands.
If your assailant takes it away from you... you are toast.
They will kill a small person very easily, some men can take the initial shock and rip it off too if it doesn't attach properly. A big man on crack or with a lot of clothing on will not always go down as you would expect. If he has a BPV on it is useless. Proper training can make all the difference in the world.
Careful screening of all potential dates is essential. Hell my first online date I talked to for 2 months before I met her in a public at a restaurant. She showed up talking on her cell phone.
I'm sure it was a part of her backup plan. (I'm so easy anyway.... lol)
100,00 volts... whew that would be deadly if it hit too close to your heart.
JMO. If I was a lady I would never meet a man alone or without a very good backup. But since I'm a lesbian... I'm not scared... lol (Does that make me a "Manbian?" lol)

Maybe you could meet for miniature golf. It's a public place, in broad daylight and if he gets stupid you've got a golf club in your hand. Otherwise you can always state your preference for waiting a while. Like Unslightly Normal said if he freaks about waiting you have your answer.

Hmm. I read page 1, the original post. As a guy, here is a clear cut blunt reason: If your not a closet masturbator who hides behind a computer or a phone, the reason we go on here is to GET OUT. Some exceptions of course and to be cautious, absolutely. I can't encourage quick meets, but i know why most normal guys look to meet early. And alot of times its not about sex, its REALLY about just getting out and communing with the human race, staying active, and getting the hell out of your office chair at home. If im really interested in someone on a site like this, if it goes more than a week without a phone number, or two weeks without a meet, ill lose interest.
If shes cautious too a fault, she can't go wrong these days with how the world is-crazy. But for a guy like me, who is not crazy, things have to be moving forward. Im not interested in texting, emails, or other buffer technology that slows things to a crawl. And as a pro wrestler once put it,
" thats how i roll ". lol
or lay it out ta play it out
or,
yu gotta be in it to win it
or
Take up a Martial Art, and either go out and meet interesting people or kick thier a** if thier not. But turn your computer off and at least DO something. Otherwise your liable to let the winner slip through ones fingers. Life is too short.

Wow!!!
Thank you all for your very insightful and candid responses to my thread. I appreciate
all that you brought to the table and have given much thought to all the different viewpoints.
Lady bear you scared the hell out of me with the gun story! And I can't believe that many of you have guns yourselves (I've never even shot one!) But caution and intuition
seem to be the big winners and that's what I'll be using before going on any online date.
From the men I can understand where the 'rush' doesn't mean desperation but only wanting
to see if there is something there!
Woman I understand that we have been prey to men for so long that we have to 'arm' ourselves with 'weapons' that can lead us to safety if
needed.
GenieUs LMAO with your list and suggestions (I do own several costumes and I just might bring 'em along).
Once again THANK YOU for your caring words and expressions of concern for my well-being.
Yes I did come to this sight with some intention of meeting men but I've become even more
lucky as to have made friends!
LOL (Lots Of Luv) to All!!!!!

Well just tell him you would like to chat some more first, if he gets too pushy just have him blocked. Just make sure it's a place that's very public and hopefully your remote for your car has a panic button as most do now. Carry your bucket of ice water as a last resort, you know what that does to them. lol

lt, I would give it a little more than a week. I've met some wonderful people from on-line sites,...and one stalker. Guess who I met first before I got sense. Usually I'll wait until the woman decides when and if she wants to meet, unless we've been talking for a long time. But it's not just men that want to meet right away. I chatted on-line one night for about a half an hour with a woman who wanted me to meet her 70 miles away that night. And then got upset and never talked to me again when I said no.
But then again, never underestimate the depth of cluelessness in a man.

This is the advice I will give you because I have been on-line dating for the last two years and except for a few, nothing has panned out. The reason is because I have made the mistake of meeting them too soon like you said before getting to know them as a person. Take my advice. Don't meet them right away. Don't even give them your telephone number. E-mail them for a while first, then talk on the phone before meeting. Then meet at a public place. A woman who is willing to meet a man too soon looks too desperate and they will take advantage of it./.
