I've had guys just randomly write to me, asking to meet up, and guys who message me just saying "HI" or "whats up"
I am one of those people asking to meet up usually :S I do not mean immediately and I have a system. I chat with someone over a varied amount of time. Maybe just a few days, depends on the conversations and lengths of such conversations, etc WITH webcam verification, etc etc. I plan to meet them in a public place. Then I call them on the telephone and talk to them for a few minutes soon before we are to meet in person. This is the horrible part. I hate talking on the telephone dreadfully. Then I go meet them and various things happen.
Also, Ive met people online in situation like giving away kittens, and selling a guitar and stuff like that. Seems like people are much less uptight about those things.
I meant people who I'd never spoke to before would just PM me, and ask me if I wanted to meet them
I know what you mean about talking on the phone. I hate it too. I sometimes get my little sister to make phonecalls for me
I was only on the dating sites to keep my friend happy. I really didn't want to meet anyone. I was single, and she thought that bothered me, so she would try and help me meet guys. All kinda fun, but totally stupid. Thankfully she's kinda stopped hassling me now.
