Is there a town in between you can meet at??? He could Uber and you'd only have about a25-30 minute drive plus your have your car so you could leave if it didn't go well



Good idea. !

All right you knuckleheads, we've exhausted the car thing, but what about the BIGGER RED FLAG?

The guy is too shy to meet right away? What a crock of $h!t. I haven't dated anyone I've met via the internet in almost a decade, but if I was one of you I would to meet them right away. No check that, I NEED to meet them right away. I need to meet them three days before RIGHT NOW. I have zero patience for crap. Why would anyone tolerate having their chain yanked?

Well...aside from *this* guy and his transportation isszuesz..there could be a LOT of reasons people can't meet right away..
Each other's job schedules not allowing...family responsibilities (this *is* the holiday season).

Maybe they have been burned in the past by meeting before one or the other felt comfortable...

Everyone is different.
What ONE person would do/ wants is not necessarily what someone else would do or *want*.

I know had *I* met that stupid f***er (from a different site) that showed himself in thr first 30 minutes of phone conversation to be controlling and selfish (telling me I will need a cell ohone so he can keep in touch with me...WTF??)...it would NOT have ended well...
He may have turned ugly/ abusive..and I'm thankful I didn't jump and meet him right away..

There could be lots of reasons but "too shy" is crap. I wouldn't be tolerant of anyone's excuses, but that's just me. However, too shy is just a waste of freaking time. A man who was married has children has no car and is too shy? Bwahahahahaha

I'm not buying "too shy" either..FWIW..

I have *never* put off meeting someone because I am "shy"..
It was because I wasn't feeling comfortable...or our respective schedules didn't jive.

And that is what I told them...I was truthful.
Not lie/ hide behind saying I was too shy or some ****.
And if they protested too much when I said that I wasn't feeling confortable (instead of trying to alleviate my concerns) then..well...they just proved why meeting right away *wasn't* a good idea.

Who would want their chain yanked laugh laugh

Not only that but people can have wonderful connections online or over the phone but that connection translates to zero romantic chemistry when they actually meet .

People meet when it is convenient for them. We All make those choices for ourselves.

What one person does , it is different from what someone else would do.

Freedom of Choice. It's a good thing!!

Freedom of choice is fine, but wasting my damn time is not fine at all. There is only one commodity that we cannot replace. You what that is? That's right it's time. Don't waste my time with crap and nonsense.

If you have no problem having your time wasted then it's all good. Right?

Has hunting season begun or something?
OP asked our thoughts, not to hang the man.
I'm quite certain with "what are your thoughts" she meant to ask for mature & sound advice, not a "let's rip someone to shreds!" thingie.

My last post was generic. Not necessarily aimed at the object of the question. She asked and was given two obvious red flags. I'm not going to apologize for the tone of my answers. If she wants a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down then she should have asked Mary Poppins.

I'm actually kinda shocked how for the most part y'all have jumped to negitive assumptions.... We don't know him nor was we part of the conversation.
I don't think meeting someone new is a waste of time... Good, bad or indifferent it's a experience.
Just make sure the first meet is in a neutral public place and you are comfortable with the arrangements.

I, for one, never said meeting someone new is a waste of time. OP said he is shy and waited two months to meet his last date. That, in my book, is wasting A LOT of time.
