| i think you need to see if your both on the same page about different things. hear his or her voice. than meet at some place with people around to see if theres any chemistry. the rest is up to you.

| You know? Life is short,and too many people make wrong decisions alot of times due to time restraints. Meaning they move too fast, alway's jump in too soon(alot of times over their heads) before they realize it.There's no need to rush just to find someone to share your life with. Doing so, could wind up hurting you and then you realize that the time you spent rushing into it, in essance, was merely waisted. So, take time here,then gradually get to know the real person behind the face. Just my opinion.

| I chose "A" as I believe physical attraction can only carry you so far. I like to get to know a person for a couple of weeks via IM's and phone calls before actually meeting face-to-face. And this is REALLY easy for me as the men I'm interested in ALL live over a thousand miles away!

| Well I think option 1 is the way to go. But also would like to see who is really the person that I have seen the picture/s of. So also like the lets meet. But 24 hours after meeting on here is way to fast, most the time.

| I need to get to know the woman first. But I am also looking for a LTR. If you are just wanting to date the #2 or #3 would work for both of you. B  ut it doesn't mean you two have much in common other than wanting to meet right off.

| Kinda depends if you meet offline or online
If you meet online, you talk as soon as possible and meet within 1-2 weeks - preferred time within 1 week.
If you meet offline in a public place for the first time, you can meet within 1-2 weeks or drag it out a few weeks but not too long. You already know what the person looks like. But comunication must be maintained.
I recommend within 1 week for all cases. But I do know sometimes things come up so I give a 2 week cushion.

| I pick A, I wouldnt want to waste my time or theirs if I didnt agree with their personality. Looks arent everything and its harder to fake who you really are during chats then posting a picture you have had to the last 6 years.

| i prefer to spend time here chatting or chatting on messenger for a while before i meet someone. i'm in no hurry. you can find out a lot about a person thru emails and chatting and it's easier because you're not looking them square in the face or getting too embarrassed. ya can't rush things.

|  I usually like to talk for a while first, but I can't tell you how many of them I've talked with for a few days, all of a sudden just quit talking to me. Then there are those that I have met that think just because they've talked with me on here, it gives them the right to be all hands on - I don't think so men, Not me - get to know me first 
So I really don't know what the best way is, but I'll still go with the talking first.

| I take A, getting to know more about someone on here. Time frame, a week or 2. Of course he'd have to be fairly Local, I'm not into road trips

| I met a female on another site who posted a glamour shot. And you could tell she was gonna be a little on the heavy side, but I agreed to meet her at a restaurant in her city. I sat in the parking lot waiting to see if she would arrive.
When she did I was mortified by how she looked. I don't mean to be cruel but she looked like a strange alien composition between a human and an elephant. She sadly was quite hideous.
I didn't want to go in and meet her, I wanted to flee! But knowing what it's like to be rejected, I wasn't going to stand her up. I went in, met her, had dinner with her, and became even more horrified when she revealed what her life was like, and how normal she thought it was. Believe you me, it still freaks me out to this day.
But I played it cool, I treated her with dignity and respect. I emailed her a couple of more times. She was pressuring me to exchange phone numbers and mailing addresses. But I just couldn't do that. I knew there would never be a match between us. After the 2nd email I finally told her I didn't feel any connection blossoming between us. I deleted my profile from that site, and am leary of ever crossing paths with her agian, even though she lives 60 miles away.
So I try to be a little more cautious these days. But I am still willing to meet people, but would prefer it to be in a group setting with other DHU members present. Like in a group "Meet & Greet", not necessarily a (one on one) situation.
So far I haven't met any other members from DHU.

| Have you watched the news, read a newspaper, heard about all the freaks people run into off these dating sites? A good read over quite a few e-mails from each other is definitly warrented, and simply a very wise move.
