Do you ever get a vibe from profiles?

I've sent Icebreakers to quite a few guys on Yahoo Personals and Winks to guys on Match over the last year that I've been OLD. And honestly, not many of them hit me as nearly perfect. There's always something that just says, Try it, you might like it. KWIM?
Well, I found a profile on Yahoo Personals today, that just jumped out at me. His picture just hit something inside me, and then his profile followed through. It just feels "right", as much as it can with someone you've never met before. So I sent him an Icebreaker...and he responded back almost immediately!
We're meeting for a drink later this week!
I'm not one to go all crazy about guys, but there's just somehting about this one that's calling to me, and I don't know why.
Is this weird? Has this happened to you, and what was the outcome?

Yup, I've had it happen 4 times... Most profiles my first impression is either NEXT (90%) or maybe (9%) ... there are very few that really "do it" for me and AMAZINGLY those all have been mutual interest to some degree.
First time lasted through 4 dates (because I ignored small red flags on the first 3, only on the 4th did he really cross a line)
Second time lasted about 6 weeks, great fun for a while, but we turned out to be on way different pages about what we wanted.
Third time became a pretty intense 6 month relationship. But I pretty much 'fell in love' with the IDEA of everything in the profile, the differences between the profile & the actual person only came out very slowly later on.
Fourth time is going on now, he *seems* perfectly my type, we're currently emailing but this time I'm also in contact with a few others to maintain perspective! ;) I've learned to enjoy it but at the same time not put any expectations on it. No matter how much you seem to 'click' it ALWAYS takes longer to really get to know each other.
Wow!!!
I just got a text message from him!!
So unexpected!!
Today is his birthday, and he's from Pennsylvania, so naturally he was having a great birthday with the Super Bowl on, and more so if the Steelers won...and after the game, he texted me to say, "Hi! It's josh! It was a GREAT birthday!"
This is just too weird...I feel like I know this guy already. We've exchanged 3 short e-mails, and he felt comfortable enough to text me at midnight...
I'm SO gonna be in trouble, aren't I?????

You know what that reminds me of? In Moulin Rouge when
