Okay, here's the scenario..tell me something doesn't seem strange to you..

 

You're very successful- very financially stable- you are your own boss so if need be you do have the freedom to take some time off if you feel like it. You're attractive, very well travelled and cultured. You live in a gorgeous penthouse and drive an enviable sports car. You meet people online you connect with (fair enough) you decide you are interested in someone who lives in your country.. would you invest a signifigant amount of time into someone you hadn't met in person? Say..a year or longer? If this was a person you wanted to date would you not be adament about meeting them BEFORE you invest your time into them? Some people meet online and don't have financial resources to meet right away or are in other countries etc, but if you could afford to do it..would you invest your time like that?

 

What are your thoughts...

I would assume that either the person is not really interested in a *real* relationship or that it is convenient for him/her (for whatever reason) that people he connects with online develop a strong emotional bond with him/her before the first in person meeting occurs.

 

I'd wonder what the person is hiding.

 

I'd ask myself whether he/she is married, or has serious physical or psychological propblems, or sent me someone else's pictures, or is setting me up, or is an internet predator, or is just playing a game with other people's feelings.

No, I want a relationship with someone I can touch and be with not talk on the phone or trade emails with. If I don't get a meet in a couple of weeks I move on.
