Met this guy online 3wks ago. We both have strong personalities and it attracted me initially that he would stand up to me on some of my views.

Well, our emails started to get heated late last week. We really got each other going to the point where the msgs got kind of out of hand (not viscious, just very strong opinions). I had been planning on turning off my profile, and just thought that was a good time as any.

I was going to blow this guy off, but he was interesting, we had common interests, so I decided to email him with my phone# in case he wanted to keep in touch. Surprisingly, he called right away. Seemed nice, kind of quiet, apologized and admitted the msgs got kind of hand. We chatted briefly, I was pleasant and said I had to go.

Well, 2days later the guy calls me again. Really happy, more laid back, again we chatted and I said I had to go.

The reason I'm posting is I've kind of been in a daze since our last few msgs. It really riled me up, but in a way I kind of like it! He's intrigued me. I've seen his photo and he's really cute. And when he had asked me for a photo, I gave him the worse most recent one I could find and he said I looked really pretty (you figure).

Now my blog online was to have penpals, make new friends, not to date or be in a LTR which he knows. He suggested getting together last week, but I evaded his offer since I'm really busy with my career which he knows. Problem is he keeps creeping into my thoughts so I'm now debating whether to meet up with him next week and see how it goes. Worse thing is if we click, I have NO TIME!!! What do you guys think? I mean, after all, we've already had heated disagreements without having met - shouldn't this be seen a bad sign????

Thanks all!

I appreciate your feedback. You may be right, I'm really not looking yet he seems to be pushing all the right buttons! And yes, we are respectful when we disagree...

He called again last night. Unbelievable! I was busy, couldn't really talk but was still pleasant. He said it would nice if I called him once in a while and made me write down his phone#?!?!

I suggested getting together next week when my workload lightens up (just to see of the same connection exists in person). I suggested coffee, something brief, simple. He suggested a nice restaurant (huh?). We'll find a happy compromise...

This is too funny. With my luck, this guy may be it. I'll let you guys know how it goes! I'm very open to the whole thing, whatever happens happens!

I think as long as your disagreement didin't dissolve into name-calling and bad fighting, it is no problem. I mean, he is letting you know what he believes in and that he is willing to stand up for it. At least he isn't a doormat with no personality at all.

Meet him. What can it hurt??
