THE FREAK
@ CherryTAP makes another good point in his 2006-12-04 00:54:13 comment posted on my
20 Questions Amplified blog posting:
"well i would think if this was a relationship you wanted to pursue you would be asking these questions on a daily basis as you make conversation, if I saw it in a form like this i would feel like i was gonna be on who wants to marry a millionare?......"
This is true and dependent on how fast the series of chatting is going. In my particular instance, I had been chatting every day and bantering everyday for about 3-4 months with the guy I had sent the questionnaire to, eventhough I knew some of the answers to some of the questions already. He was going to buy an airline's ticket to come see me. I had all sorts of question in my mind and felt like I indeed had to be able to get to know him a little better somehow (and see if there was anything that I absolutely couldn't live with). He understood and was such a good sport about it. He had been divorced for a few years already from an 11 or 13 year marriage. It was foreign for him to jump on a plane to visit someone that he had only met on the internet -- especially from over 1,000 miles away.
I do think it is very important that you get to know the person before you jump at the chance at meeting them in person; however, if you pass up an opportunity to meet that person, one may never know anything at all.
So the question boils down to ---
When is it an appropriate time to meet someone from the internet?
Do you think it makes a difference whether you are meeting someone from your own town versus someone from out of town or even out of state????
Your thoughts please....
