I found a woman on the dating site who is exactly my type physically...mid 20s too. From talking to her on messenger, she seems very nice too.

The problem...I notice myself playing it safe with her...not being my usual self and just being by-the-book, not saying anything offensive whatsoever. I also find myself complimenting her appearance...not too much...but saying "I didn't expect to find someone like you on here" and stuff like that.

The good news is, there's no hurry...and with a lot of guys on that site stepping on their own feet anyway by being perverted and creepy, the competition isn't that great, at least yet anyway...she's new to the site.

I don't have any particular questions...just find it interesting that as some of you know, I've been waiting for this moment for a while.

i can identify with that strongly.
i accomplished the same, except it wasn't a dating site.
she randomly added me on myspace.
my type physically also, and lo and behold by some piece of insane luck, an aspie
as of today i guess we're officially dating long-distance with occasional visits when we can manage it. possibly in the future one of us might be able move to the other's location and make the relationship thus more stable

and omg, she's adorable

so she's an online girlfriend? btw, the girl is disinterested in me...for whatever reason....i don't take personal offense, but just knowing that someone out there looks like her and is only an hour away from me and some prick will date her in the future, doesn't make me feel good.

If I were a crying man, I'd be crying now. My eyes feel sad and intense. And I don't even know this girl. I don't even think it's her, I think that I'm just so lonely and wanting someone that's my type that I would trade anything but my family for it. I'm talking to a couple attractive women online that are somewhat interested, but one is 18 and the other is 55. In other words, there's no future for a relationship, and while friends or friends with benefits is better than nothing, I still feel lonely.

I feel right now (luckily it's fading because of this realization) the way I felt when my ex broke up with me and I tried to be a friend to her (which is what she said she wanted, even though she didn't realize she really wanted me to stop talking to her) and she was cold when we hung out or talked on the phone. She never said anything rude, but in her tone it was impled.

This girl used strong language against me because I showed obvious interest in her. Even if I was too strong, a woman even if disinterested should be flattered, not frustrated over it. I didn't stalk her or send her tons of messages.

This proves though, that my fatal flaw is that I see a woman with an angelic, seemingly innocent face, and think "Wow what a great person" ignoring the obvious, that the person is downright cold or rude. While if I had met this girl and she acted this way, I wouldn't have tried to pursue her anymore, but I would have went home thinking I was the problem, not her. If she's that rude to some innocent, not bad looking guy on a dating site, it's a sign of how she is to strangers or people she doesn't like in general.

Just remember that, no matter how hot they are, they wipe with their right hand just like we do. The same is also true of doctors, judges, airline pilots and police officers. Even Bill Gates.

Is she cold and rude? Is this a trait attributed to how she is as a person? Was she hot? Would you say that hotness doesn't make up for some of the negative things you've been seeing, and what are you going to do in the future?

I've also noticed that the very act of showing interest can cause some women to pull back. When you recognize this, know that it's unsalvageable because there's nothing you can do but move on.

For the moment yes, i suppose she is just that. if it doesn't work out in th end, it's nothing new. but if it does....then by golly i've struck female gold!
