So you are speaking to someone over the internet and there is a "spark".. I know it happens etc.. that is how I got to know my ex husband. However sometimes you meet and there is nothing there.. either you not attracted or the spark is not there in person..
I have had a few encounters where we have got on great via the internet and text and phone but when meeting its been so different.. Its a strange world....

I put it down to the fact that people can relax more over a keyboard and can act out an alter ego that is not neccesarily true to their real personality. |

Yep, had it happen a few times but I guess that's the way it goes.
For me I put up huge great big barriers when out on the town so I don't really 'pull'. I find it easier to chat to people online, can be the real me etc. |

If I don't like someone's online persona, it is unlikely that I would like him in real life.
There had only been one exception, and we ended up having 4 good years together from the day I gave him an offer he could not refuse.
I miss him dearly.  |

Fortunately i've never been in this situation. I find if there will be a noticeable change it will be from when you go from exchanging messages via PM or texts to when you make phone calls.
If there are no awkward silences, moments of tension and conversation flows freely with plenty of laughter and giggles then the chances are we will get on like a house on fire face to face.

Messages via PMs need to flow freely before I would consider giving out my mobile phone number.
If I find them hard work via PMs, then they are likely to be hard work over the phone, based on personal experience.

That sucks. I'd much rather people were honest. If the meet isn't doing it for you it's much better to say so. |

I'm polite like that if I feel the meet isn't going well I will say how I feel with the risk of being called all sorts but can honestly say I've not had a bad meet off here... Think I'm one of the lucky few |
