Well I starting talking to this guy about a week ago. We sent emails about a few times then starting IMing each other. I don't usually give my phone number out, but for some reason I felt like I should. So since then we've talked every night, except for last night. It felt weird not talking to him, but I couldn't bring myself to call, even though I have called him in the past. I know he hasn't met another off the site I met him on, even though he's been online for several months. I'm not sure if he's ever met anyone from online before.

My question is - do I wait for him to bring up meeting or do I ask him to meet? I don't wanna miss out on something but I don't wanna seem too pushy either.

asking isn't pushy... unless you continue to pursue the topic... but asking him once will give him the opportunity to let you know whether he is open to the idea or not flowerforyou
good luck

Hey if you have a connection and want to meet, ask him if he's open to it!!

You never know until you try and life is certainly too short to not take some risks!!

(hey, just do as I say and not as I do ok? I'll live vicariously through you, deal???? laugh )

I know what you mean. I usually give people advice that I should be taking myself.

Ya think? laugh laugh laugh laugh You already have the right answer. If you're not going full steam ahead, you'll be fine. You've only talked for a week, ya know.

Thanks for all the advice.

Yesterday evening, he was headed out to the race track and after I commented about something he said, he said I could meet him up there. It was last minute and he had already had plans to go out there so I declined. However, I've hinted around about meeting at other times, so hopefully he realizes I'm interested. If not I'll have to suck it up and be straight forward. It's just hared to do when you are shy at first.

You'll know what to do and when to do it. The right moment will present itself. Hang in there. I know it is difficult wondering if he is on the same page as you. flowerforyou

bigsmile Ok so he called me out. I went to Walmart to pick up a few things and he had to go shopping himself. I told him he wouldn't come down to the one on my side of town. I was wrong he showed up and I have to say I haven't laughed so hard while shopping in ages. After he got done buying what he needed to, we met up at a local amusement area. We played in the waterfountain, talked, and just watched the water and boats out there. After almost 4 hours, he had to leave. I must say I had a blast!!! Guess only time will tell now.... crossing my fingersbigsmile

Congrats, yep, the best course is to just move into meeting someone as fast as possible. Nothing worse than wasting time specially if they live so close
