Perhaps he/she is new to the Family Life section of the forum. I know if I popped over into another section of the CAF, I’d introduce myself as “new” even though I’ve been moderately active in the Family Life area.New? After 2900 posts? I am abit dubious.

Thank you. that is exactly what i meant.Perhaps he/she is new to the Family Life section of the forum. I know if I popped over into another section of the CAF, I’d introduce myself as “new” even though I’ve been moderately active in the Family Life area.
I rambled the whole time, we went out and had dinner, I showed him around where I live and went to the park. It was a little awkward to meet a person in real life that you’ve only have known online or over the phone for so long, but very quickly we started to connect in person just like we did over the phone once the nervousness went away.I’m seeing you in a whole new light!
I’m used to seeing you on the Apologetics threads!
Thanks. i see you too.I’m seeing you in a whole new light!
Good luck, I’ve seen some positive results here.
I’m glad to hear of your positive experience with CatholicMatch. I’ve been on there for four years with no results. I have several friends, all with a variety of personalities and appearances, and no luck for them either. I have one friend who did meet her husband on there.
I would suggest avemariasingles.com
My theory is that your theory is right, but that only proves those guys don’t know what they’re missing. That description sounds like my so called type (probably partly because it’s not far from how I’d like to be seen by others), while the problem is similar to what I typically have. Heh. Certain types of personalities have problems with this kind of relatioships. I could go on for a couple of paragraphs, but it could potentially be boring, so…
Sometimes there’s a rather flashy beginning, then a couple of messages back and forth and suddenly a total stop. Obviously must be something I said which showed a personality trait that made the other person make a quick decision that compatibility wasn’t so great.Lol. Gam3rchic, now it is my turn to say OMG!!! Your story is the same as mine!!to the OP, sorry my story of online dating is very different but I will share it!
Really I only ever talked to a small handful of guys online, I only ever ended up meeting one in person. The one I ended up meeting was the one I married and have been so blessed to have found him!!!
We started by emails at first, and yes, a lot of times talking online will give different impressions of a person. We moved on to talking on the phone, like 4-5 hour conversations. After we did this for a while, he came down to see me. I have to say the first date was all nerves for us both! We were a sight to see! When I’m nervous, I talk non-stop! When DH is nervous, he says nothing at all. So you can just imagine how this whole first meeting went!
Honestly, it wasn’t until our 3rd or 4th meeting that the awkwardness went away completely because my impression of what I’ve know of him over the phone and internet was finally replaced by what I knew IRL.
Sorry you had a disappointing meeting, but that will happen.
1ke, your stories are hilarious! Glad you finally found “the one” after all those disappointments!!!
My fiance and I had those long conversation too! And I rambled on the first date! He loves to tease me and tell people the story…lol…I like Ave Maria Singles too. It requires money to join and search profiles, but I think this helps to weed out those people who aren’t serious about a relationship. They also have some rather pointed questions in the profile that ask your opinions on church teachings and morals. Of course, I’m sure that doesn’t stop some from lying on the questions to attract more people. With AMS, you should be willing to travel to meet someone. AMS membership is not as expansive as other websites due to the one-time fee Ave Maria charges to join. That means there are likely to be fewer locals people listed then other sites have.I agree, this is the site I met my DH on as well. Good experience all around with this site.
To be honest, I still have a problem with that. I’m a veteran. A large share of my romantic failures have not even spoken my native language (no, not English). Regardless, I just believe in more naturally developing relationships. That is, for whomever match-making works, good for him. It’s just I’m not there. I kinda prefer to collect my trophies in direction action rather than getting them on an Internet action, if you know what I mean.Previously, I had always thought dating websites were kind of creepy and reeked of desperation. Now, I am a believer. Yet, those websites are only a medium for connecting like minded people. You still need to commend yourself to prayer, plan out your dates, and put in the time, energy, and enthusiasm that is necessary in traditional dating. Especially for the guys, its necessary to take the lead and have a plan. My GF told me that she met many guys on Ave Maria, and a lot of them would fly into the area and would then say to her “so what do you want to do?” I didn’t impress her, and I’m glad it didn’t.
Not like I allow technicalities to get in the way of my efficiency, but anyway. Darn. Just why don’t I have good vision and better health, so I could be having a good time up in the air like Harmon Rabb? Oh, waitasec, he did return to the JAG. Darn.That’s the easiest part to forget whe one’s embarking on a long-distance relationship. You Americans have an advantage there because you move about twice in a lifetime per average, even changing states, so you’re used to it. And no matter what you say, it’s still English what you’re getting from Vermont to Bahia.
