well i have been on this site since january of this year. i have meet some wonderful people and have enjoyed the friends that i have made across the country. i have been talking to someone since the end of march and have really enjoyed getting to know him over the phone and emails and texts. he has made everyday much more enjoyeable, he makes me laugh and has some wonderful qualities. we have more than alot in common and i truely feel like i would be very lucky to become part of his life. and i think my daughter would benifit from having such a wonderful man in her life also as her dad has really taken no part in her life. i must admit i am at the point where i want to finally meet him in person. i have felt almost like a school girl for the past several weeks and at my age i never thought i would feel that way again.
do you think that we have had enough time to find out if we are compatable? we are planning on meeting at the end of july (we will have known each other for almost 4 months at that point) and i am super excited about finally getting to see him in person.

I would shoot him with a tranquilizer gun when you first meet him. This will allow you the opportunity to attatch the radio collar and ear tag ID. Will make it alot easier to keep track of him.

Was he lost?

krupa, you are so crazay... i dont want to keep those kinds of tabs on him, but if he tries to get away i may have no choice, i will keep the tranquilizer gun handy just in case...

no i think i was the one who was lost.

I'd say patience and caution are two things which cannot be overlooked and overstated.

You say you've "known" each other for four months. How can you really know anyone until you've met and spent a significant amount of time with each other? The mental and emotional bond that can develop through the written and spoken word is a powerful one. However, meeting face to face is much different.

Even if this is the "the one," do not build up unrealistic expectations. People tend do that through this medium and it is the death of any potential relationship.

I hope he's a keeper. Good luck.

Go meet him already! Find out if you're compatible in person as well, but then make sure you don't rush things from there.

I'm all for meeting in person because getting along is too easy online or on the phone. If there's a way to meet and spend time together in person, THAT is the way to find out if you're really compatible.

Best of luck to you both!

So true. Putting someone on a pedestal is the best way create pain when they fall off. You have done well as a first step or two. Take the next step and cautiously meet and start all over with the best intentions. In person, you are certain to learn things you will not like, but you may learn even more that you do like and have found the right match for you. Be careful and good luck.

Sounds like a lucky guy good luck

i could not even begin to tell you how careful i have been over the past several years as a single mom. but after all this time i have not found one thing that would turn me off or raise any red flags. neither of us wants to rush anything. we are taking our time and i have really really enjoyed getting to know him. i have no unrealistic expectations of anything expecially since we both have children. i just felt like it was time to make a date to meet and see just how things work for us in person. i met him right here on mingle 2 and enjoy our conversations we have daily. right now we are still getting to know each other but i do look forward to making this a long term relationship.

Indeed he does! Best wishes for a good first meeting!

Hell yeah go meet him! This sounds wonderful. The distance does force you to do nothing but talk and talk and talk. You can really get to know someone well even before meeting them, all things being equal and they aren't lying to you about anything. If they are on the up and up, then it is a great way to find out those common things ahead of time. Best of luck to you! Go get your guy!

Meet him, don't attach expectations to that deal...just go out there to have fun, don't expect fireworks. Good luck.

I hope he lives close. LDRs are hard IMO

Now now Fear! Don't bubble burst. Sometimes ya just Know!

Experience is the best teacher...unfortunately mine haven't been all that good. I do hope for the best, trgirl is an awesome person and deserves happiness.

Good Luck and Have fun.

Yes, but you can't not try for the future based on the past, that is for sure. I had to learn that one. It's difficult. Sometimes though, you just get the right two people to cross paths and it works. I hope this happens for her.
