What should I do??

Okay, here is the deal.... I met someone through this online dating site (please you can laugh later) anyways, everything has been going good for three whole weeks. He lives in another city, but I don't mind cause its only like 45 minutes away. Well here is the thing we have talked through the phone and also online. We talk for hours about everything. He is basically the perfect guy. Well we decided to get together for a first date.....well it was so akward. We didn't talk at all, like as if we didn't know each other. Im a very shy person, and so is he, but I would think it would have been like as if we were talking on the phone. Well we went and ate, and saw a movie, but after that since it was so early, we decided to just leave it like that because since we weren't talking, he decided it would be best to leave before we ruin what we have. Which I agreed, its true I didn't want to ruin a relationship that we could have.

But why was it like that?? We want to meet again, what should I do so this doesn't happen again?? I don't understand why it was so akward... can someone help me out??

Why would anyone laugh about meeting on an OLD site?

I can't tell you how many times this happened to me--great online and phone chemistry, only to have it fizzle in person.

I agree with Sheri and Vexer ... and just want to add to the "meet in person ASAP" sentiment ... that, if you talk for HOURS about EVERYTHING before you ever meet .. then, sure!
