LOVE ON THE NET

Former Member

Hi,

I few weeks ago I met a great guy in a chat room. We talked for hours on end every night for a couple of weeks and also e-mailed each other. We were getting on really well and eventually swapped mobile number. We decided to meet in person and actually met for the first time last weekend. It was a bit strange sitting there drinking coffee with a stranger but we got on great in person too.
We've arranged to meet this weekend too but since then I haven't really heard from him. He hasn't been meeting me in the chat room or replying to e-mails I've sent him. He still replies to text messages that I've sent him but seems reluctant to actually talk to me vocally.
I really don't know what I could have done wrong, I have this funny feeling he's gonna back out of meeting me at the weekend.
What do you all think I should do?
And do you think that love on the Internet can actually work?

Hi,

Thanks J9, looks like you was right. We met again today and we got on great again. I asked him why he hadn't been talking to me all week and he said it was because last week we didn't have much to talk about because we'd said it all it the chat rooms. He also said that it felt a bit strange talking to me in the chat room after meeting because he wanted to talk to me face-to-face. Well, looks like love could be blossoming because we get on so well and we both really like each other.

P.S. Yes I did go to meet him by myself both times. But we met in a very public place first time (motorway service station) so there wasn't a problem, and thank god he is who he's said he was!!!!

Just to keep you posted, he came to see me yesturday and we've decided to start a relationship. We know it's gonna be difficuly because he lives 50 mile away but it only takes an hour on the M1. Problem really is only being able to see each other at the weekend because I work day's and he works nights. aarrrrrggghhhhhh!

Well fingers crossed that it works

Wish me luck

I let you know how it's going when I know myself

Hey GAGA, good on you and good luck! ive had a number of good friendships on the net, both long distance and locally, but i hadnt met anyone, apart from a guy who i didnt know too well and who was goign to a gig at the same time, so i said hi and chattted for 5 mins which was dead weird and we didnt talk much after that, not much in common, age diff, me wanting to just be friends etc. but i met a great guy in a chat room and we talked about gcse hassles when i was doing them, a=nd about music, and found we had loads in common and found it really easy to talk to each other, and i was having probs with "real life" friends at the time so my net friends were a substiture, and better, than the real thing. and so him and his friend arranged to come down for a few days and stay in a b&b to meet as friends.. and we did, and it was dead weird at first, but we got on well, as friends, although we both wnted soomething to happen but were too shy. well my m8 finished with her boyf as she liked my boyf's friend.. and we both went up there a few weeks later and stayed in a b&b and kinda got together! we knew each other very well at first and had talked on the phone a bit too. but we're still together 15 months later! he lives 180 miles away which is a bit of a struggle, but its worth it if you love each other and have trust and respect for each other. (ive just written something similar about long distance relationships on another post! sorry for beign repetive!) but basically, good luck GAGA, it can work!! keep us posted! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

said i would keep u posted so heres the story upto now.
i rang him friday night to arrange meeting up on saturday, ie. what time? where?
he didn't answer so i txt him.
no reply.
txt him again, this time asking if he wants to c me this week.
no reply.
txt him again to ask y he's ignoring me. reply at last.
he's found some1 else, some1 he doesn't like as much as me, but she lives just down the road so he's gonna go off with her.
BASTARD.
I live just down the road 2, the road maybe the M1 and it's 50 miles down the road but it's a lame excuse.
i got the arse with him then eventually calmed down a bit. we talked 4 a while and we r gonna try 2 b friends. i can't c that working myself, like i'm gonna drive 50 miles 2 c a wanker who 2 timed me just for a friendly cuppa, no-chance.
i'm not gonna let it upset me tho, it's his loss
