I met someone on the net too. He seemed perfect and well we got chatting and well we hit it off. He gave me his number after awhile and i gave his mine. He texted me from time to time, but we mostly chatting on the net, for hours on end. A couple of months ago though he stopped talking and so did i. He still comes online but i deleted him as a contact. I haven't met him, but we have an interview on the same day at a university. So its gonna be kinda awkward, but if he seems nice enough go for it, we exchanged numbers and nothing happaned.

the relationship with my ex (well, i say ex but we're still very much in love and soulmates etc - complicated istuation not worth going into in this post) started this way.

although she was at my school, i hadn't really seen her before. anyway, we somhow ended up having each other on msn. one night, bored of talking on msn, i gave her a call, we spoke for three hours, decided to go to the cinema and boom the rest was history (although it would be nice if it were the present and future as well). anything can happen from a phonecall. hearing each other's voice is the first step out of that internet utopia towards reality.
If you really want to contact him, it sounds like you are curious. You really want to know more about the guy, not a bad thing at all.

I have some words of advice, rather simple and general but still important. Most of the facts you know about this guy are uncorroborated, you do not really have the luxury of putting his statements into context. Yes, the internet is a conduit for the deviants, but it is also a conduit for those with self esteem problems and those that like to embellish the facts a little, if you can get away with it why not. Act on your curiosity by all means, but remember always stay objective.

I have told this before on here, but I met my fiance on an internet love forum. (So embarrassing - we don't tell many people the truth). God knows why he was on there in the first place (I had an excuse I had finished with my ex and typed love in the search and came across the site). Anyway 3 years down the line we are engaged, and planning our wedding. So it can work. However, I knew his brother in "real-life" and that was the only way I met him, if he was just some random stranger from miles away I wouldn't have met up with him. So do be careful.

Well so far so good! Doubt it will always be a fairytale though, bound to have our ups and downs once we are married and living in each others pockets, but hopefully it will stay mostly the same as it has been the past three years.
Nope, call him.

You like a guy you met on the internet and you plan to call him, but don't want to meet him?

What's the point?

Maybe she wants to here what his voice sounds like
If you don't plan on meeting, why did you eve swap numbers? There's nothing you can do on a phone that you can't do for free on MSN.
Hearing someones voice is very different to talking on msn, a whole different experience.

WTF, the thread starter obviously has multiple personalities, what with answering his/her own questions as another person... rofl.

Obviously. That still doesn't change the fact that he can do it on MSN for free.

i bloody hate that! i exchanged numbers with a guy who i became really good friends with over the internet, and we used to talk loads around that time. all of a sudden it went from everything to nothing, it did upset me but now i dunno, i suppose we move on.
