EightLions Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) I'll try to keep this short, and I can answer questions if needed, my first attempt writing this was way too long, so I've shortened it. I just created an online dating profile a week ago, and a women that I had met once before, in real life, emailed me via the site, not realizing we'd already met before, because my profile photo is slightly old and I'm wearing a hat and sunglasses (was a photo from a skiing trip). She and I met before at a local meetup event in our city, but didn't spend a lot of time talking, it was just a couple of brief introductions (it was a class and not a lot of time for socializing). After I told her via this site that we'd already met, she said "oh I remember you now, cool". I'm normally a very fit guy (most of my wardrobe is 32 waist) but due to working super long hours for the past 2 years (very focussed on my career) I've gotten out of shape, though I've started working out again and I'm starting to get back to my normal fit look, but I'm not there yet... and it really shows in my neck and upper gut... I hate it, and hope to have it gone in another month (I will). With most women I wouldn't care as much, but this one is super fit and very attractive. Since her first email, we've exchanged some great emails every day, and have a lot in common and seem like a great potential match, but I'm somewhat freaked about meeting her again tonight. Should I postpone our date so that I have more time to get more fit before meeting her again in person? I've already dropped 8 pounds in the last 3 weeks, hoping to drop another 12 in the next 4 weeks and fix this damn neck thing I have going on. I'm sure this sounds really narcissistic, but being very fit has always been a big part of my mojo, and I feel somewhat lost without it (for dating), especially with a women that is very fit (she does triathlons and a lot of yoga). What's worse? Postponing our date (it's tonight)... or letting her see how out of shape I look currently? Edited July 8, 2012 by EightLions
Philosoraptor Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Well no one got to you in time but I hope you went and enjoyed yourself. Just had to wear something that would make you look a bit closer to your norm. 1
curlygirl40 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I'm curious as to what you decided also, sorry didn't see this yesterday. I would have voted for going on the date. Cancelling then dragging it out for 3 weeks would be sketchy and she would probably move on and think you weren't interested. Hope you went and had a good time. Let us know.
