Well Michi you already know 99% of my answers but I'll share again anyhow:

how come u connected with this person online, what made them different? It was a total fluke that we connected online, quite honestly. He contact me, mostly as a joke.. and neither one of us expected this incredibl romance. Off the bat I loved his sense of humor , and the fact that he just seemed so 'normal' and levelheaded and we had so much in common and similar upbringings. Oh yeah, and I thought he was sooo gorgeous

how long until u talked on the phone? we both hate the phone, so we waited awhile. 2 months

did u talk online everyday? we didn't do the 'IM' thing very much, but we exchanged at least 2-3 emails back and forth EVERY day. And they were pages and pages long.. I still have every one of them

how long till u met them in person? 3 months

what did u do when u first met in person? he came over to my apartment and we just talked and talked alll night until 5am the next am (and NO, nothing happened )

how long till u kissed them? first date

how long till u were intimate? 2nd date

did u both tell each other it was weird to have met online but it felt right?? I think we thought at first it was a little weird, but NOTHING ever felt as 'right' as we did when we met

Did u talk about sex or being intimate b4 u met? did u engage in cyber or phone sex b4 meeting? honestly , we flirted a lot but never talked about sex or really 'went there' until after we met. No cyber sex or things of that nature, just a lot of 'innuendo' stuff but extremely innocent

How honest and open were u online, compared to on the phone? I believe that we were MORE honest than we would have been in person, without a doubt. We let our guard down to a huge degree when we would chat online. Both being so shy, expressing ourselves on paper was great for us

Did they hafta grow on u once u met in person?? I knew I was already falling in love before I set eyes on him. By the following week after I met him, I was definitely in love

how come u connected with this person online, what made them different?
His sense of humor and adventure. He wanted to go see 'final destination' with me. Plus I liked that he had a cat and loved it so

how long until u talked on the phone?
A while. I refused to give him my phone number, but I'd call him from a pay phone (to avoid caller id). We spoke very little before our first date

did u talk online everyday?
Not really, just weeknights and weekends, but I was seeing another guy so it was sorta off and on

how long till u met them in person?
About two weeks, to see the movie!

what did u do when u first met in person?
Saw a movie

how long till u kissed them?
two Months or so, We were friends first.

how long till u were intimate?
about three months

did u both tell each other it was weird to have met online but it felt right??
Nope, nothing werid about it. We didnt use a dating service. Most of the folks we spoke to have met in person at one time or another, so what's the werid about it?

Did u talk about sex or being intimate b4 u met? did u engage in cyber or phone sex b4 meeting? lol
haha sorry but no

How honest and open were u online, compared to on the phone?
the same. Im an old time online gal and this 'room' was a place I was comfortable with and it was open to all, so no biggie

Did they hafta grow on u once u met in person??
YES!! He was Chinese!! I never dated chinese before. If you'd asked me the first few weeks I'd have told you he was too nice and quiet to be serious with haha

how come u connected with this person online, what made them different?

- He seemed really genuine when he responded to my add. I was new in town and he said that he'd show me around.

how long until u talked on the phone?

- We talked on the phone after about 2 weeks of exchanging emails.

did u talk online everyday?

how come u connected with this person online, what made them different?
**I liked his sense of humour. He made me laugh and I felt SO comfortable with him from the very start

how long until u talked on the phone?
**A few weeks (actually longer but we lost touch then I contacted him again a few months later...) We started 'chatting' at the beginning of the year. I started to date someone so I wanted to see where that was going. After that other relationship ended, I sent FH an e-mail saying if he was still interested, I would be interested in getting together with him. Around November, we started to 'chat' again. Due to the holidays, we slowed down the 'chatting' for a few weeks and spoke on the phone beginning of January. The first time he called I actually had to ask who he was

did u talk online everyday?
**Once we started with the phone, we spoke almost everyday. We would also IM each other to wish each other a good day

how long till u met them in person?
**At the end of January we agreed to meet up for a date. I guess it was really only a few weeks.

what did u do when u first met in person?
** Met for drinks

how long till u kissed them?
**2nd date

how long till u were intimate?
**about 2 weeks. We lived across the street from each other (ironically) so we saw each other a lot in those few weeks. It was probably about 4 or 5 dates.

did u both tell each other it was weird to have met online but it felt right??
**The strangest thing for us was how much we have in common and that we never met before

Did u talk about sex or being intimate b4 u met? did u engage in cyber or phone sex b4 meeting? lol
**heck no! I'm a bit of a prude when it comes to talking about that kind of stuff, especially with someone I do not know. I would have been really turned off.

How honest and open were u online, compared to on the phone?
Extremely open and honest with each other from day one. At first we though it was too honest and we were going to scare the other one away but then we both realized we were better off with all the cards on the table. It has made our relationship that much stronger knowing everything about each other.

Did they hafta grow on u once u met in person??
**I cam home from our first date and said to my room mate 'There's something about him'. I wasn't really sure what it was but I knew it was something!!

how come u connected with this person online, what made them different? I saw in his profile that he worked for a friend of the family or so I thought.

VERY honest...

Did they hafta grow on u once u met in person??
YES, but I was a tough cookie, I had a wall up around me and he pursued and after a while I started to bring down the wall, and things started to 'work' between us. It was not an easy start w/ us, but now 'we' are a great union!

-
All I can say is give the (a) guy a chance!!!! I actually went to a tarot card reader and she told me to give him until September....and I did, we had our first day on Mother's Day, --and on July 2nd he told me he loved me when we went away for the first time together, then in September I KNEW he was the ONE....We moved intogether in October and we were married THIS OCTOBER and I am SOOO Happy.
