New to it all - should I take a chance ?
| Thu, 06-23-2005 - 2:41pm |
A few weeks ago I signed up onto a online dating site, really just for the fun of it and to see what sort of a response I would get. I got quite a number of hits, but only one guy has been eamailing me fairly regularly. He lives about an hour out of the city I live in and has now hinted at meeting somewhere for coffee.
I am very nervous and not sure if I should just go for it, I'm not sure if its what I really want, I've never been one for "blind dates"
I'm also a little aprehensive as he does live so far out, I don't want to get involved with someone who I might not be able to see on a regular basis.
What should I do ?

Well said Vexer, I completely agree!

Vex gave you some excellent advise. Go,...get your feet wet! I'm sure you've heard all the rules about safety but, since you're new to OLD I'd like to add, always meet in a public place, let someone know where you are going to be, the times etc and even give them the man's name and number. You can never be too safe. Also, I don't know if you've reached the phone stage yet but, it's the general consenus that it's best to just give your cell phone number until you get to know someone. It's not as easy to trace a cell phone number back to an address as it is a regular land line.
Good Luck!! Keep us posted.

I agree with the others, just do it. :)
Meet this guy halfway in between where you both live. Also, in the future, if you think distance is going to be a problem, perhaps limit who you are corresponding with to people more geographically desirable to you.
Good Luck and HAVE FUN!!!
