Drive By "Meet & Greets"

I'm actually about to meet someone that I've been chatting with on CL. He's in the area so he is going to drive by my job -- well the parking lot next to where I work -- just so we can meet. Lately, it seems I've been chatting with men, and they have suggested the "drive-by" meet and greet! Over the weekend, another guy wanted to meet and was heading to a party, and wanted me to meet him at the mall to do a drive-by! I declined, since I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere and we ended up meeting the next day for coffee.

Anyway, have others been approached by this new terminology of meets & greets -- now being called "drive-by"??? Have meetings in coffee shops or the bookstore now being thought of as "wasting too much time"??

I stood there shivering stating "whew, it's cold and I've got to get back to my meeting!" I wasn't really cold, but was internally pissed that he didn't look anything like his picture. What a FRAUD!!!

So is he going to call you? What will you do if he does? This whole thing is just so (funny's not the right word because it's not laughing at YOU) but wow - unbelievable!

I am wondering whether this man is some sort of pervert that gets his jollies by putting women in uncomfortable situations. He knows he's a dog, and was probably using somebody else's photo to get you to meet him in a parking lot. He knew he would be rejected.

Be careful, no more drive-by's. If they can't agree to meet you in a crowded public place, then there is no meeting.

How long were you dating online before you met "Mr. Right"?
