Meeting women online
 
Let's say you've "met" a woman online and have chatted (on AIM or whatever) with her a few times. Based on what she tells you, she's around your age, you have some things in common, and she seems to be intelligent and fun. You've also seen a (publicly available) pic that was supposedly her, and she is good looking.

Of course, you have no idea if this person is who she says she is or even whether she's really a woman at all. All you know about her is what she has said, which may or may not be true.

Assuming this person is who she says she is, you'd like to meet her, and she seems to be interested in meeting you, too.

You give her your cell number so she can call and talk with you, and she says she will call you that night. You go about your business.

Now, let's say that she never calls and that she is offline for the rest of the night.

What's your play?

I need a time frame of when you gave her your picture.

As for your play? Dude you're not even in the game right now.

I've met one girl in real life after first meeting online. This was back in highschool. We dated for a little while, but she turned out to be an obsessive psycho. I advise against it, period. Get your women the old fashion way. Club 'em and drag 'em back to your cave.

This is very important...


She is definately playing hard to get, you need to find where she lives and go there immediatly. if she tells you to leave, she's just playing hard to get, be persistant, remember, strong means weak, and no means yes.

Too bad you can't get drunk and call her. I suggest you get your a$$ out of the chair and go meet some girls in RL.

What chat room did you meet her in? Maybe she can't use the phone after 10.

Stop worrying and wondering. If there is actually something to be gained here, your current attitude will kill it before anything really gets started. Just try to relax and see how it all plays out.

e-mail her 10 times asking why she did not call

Better advice would be to give Jake his e-mail address and let him ask for you.

During your conversations did she ever mention if shes done this before? If she never has she might have been nervous or whatever and it wouldn't hurt to send her a message the next time you see her on- Just 1 saying hello. if she doesn't respond you know where you stand for sure.
If she has met other people before do nothing- if she got busy suddenly last night then she will IM and apoligize.
If you don't know assume your done, and don't message her if she messages you, be yourself without bringing it up specifically.

she (a) is weirded out by the concept of calling a guy she met online, and is thusly taking her time, or (b) totally forgot about it. she probably totally forgot. but either way the best thing to do is forget about her and go to happy hour (not necessarily in that order). I would also stop meeting women online, because you're drawing from a much less desirable pool of people, and the chances of her turning out to be who you hope she is are very low.

This may or may not be true. But don't do anything give her expectations to live up to, ot she may be worried about it. Don't push. Let her take her time or you'll just chase her away. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

"I would also stop meeting women online, because you're drawing from a much less desirable pool of people"

This is bullcrap, have youmet most women out there? 90% of the population is undateable!!!

Realistically though there are pros and cons to internet dating. A major pro is that you know that the women there are looking, none of this buying a girl drinks until her boyfriend shows up crap, or getting cockblocked by her fat friend. You also have a larger pool in that you can pay specific attention to anyone of them, and not have to directly compete with music, smoke, noise, work or whatever goes on.

One piece of advice though- when you talk to a girl the first time no matter how well it goes don't let the conversation go over 20 mins- just don't.

tolbiny 10-12-2005 03:46 PM

Re: Meeting women online
 
one more tidbit- if she has done this before (met guys over the net) then she most likely has run into an obsessive loser who wouldn't leave her alone- that sort of thing creeps women out and this could just be a quick test to make sure that you aren't one of those guys.

You should really just chill out. Do not start emailing her or IMing her asking her why.... You will come across as an ass. Just wait for her to contact you.

10-12-2005 03:49 PM

Re: Meeting women online
 
JERRY: Elaine, what percentage of people would you say are good looking?

ELAINE: Twenty-five percent.

JERRY: Twenty-five percent, you say? No way! It's like 4 to 6 percent. It's a twenty to one shot.

ELAINE: You're way off.

JERRY: Way off? Have you been to the motor vehicle bureau? It's like a leper colony down there.

ELAINE: So what you are saying is that 90 to 95 percent of the population is undateable?

JERRY: UNDATEABLE!

ELAINE: Then how are all these people getting together?

JERRY: Alcohol.
