Women, advice needed on this guy I've just met?

I've just met an interesting guy through an online interest club I joined a few days ago completely out of boredom as I was at home ill. The strangest thing is I know of him (through a position he has, but he doesn't know me) so know he is genuinely single and all that. I find his writing so interesting, he's a very intellectual man and I love it! He also seems attracted to me, my profile, photos etc. The thing is, he called yesterday and we talked for an hour which was cool except I found it a little awkward as I don't really know him yet. He was very nice to me but I don't know if he is my type. I didn't feel the same attraction on the phone as in writing. Why is this? Is there any point in meeting, which he wants to when he is in my locality for work in 2 weeks time.Women, advice needed on this guy I've just met?
You have some fantastic answers... and you know you have to meet him,,, safe and carefully but if you don't you will always think you may have missed out.


just expect nothing and see how it goes...


going out for a drink with a friend.. that is usually how it all starts anyway.. and take it or leave it from there


Wishing you all the luck

You can't know someone over the phone or net until you have met them in person! He was prob nervous speaking to you for the first time! You should meet him sooner rather than later rather than leave it for ages as you can be anyone on the net but when your there in person you can't hide behind a computer your there! Dates can be a nervous time so he maybe nervous make him feel at ease and don't be too judgemental yet
of course of course of course there is a point in meeting him!!!!! it was just talking on the phone, you two were both stressed and it's the most awkward thing to talk on the phone with someone you haven't talked to in person. even if you have doubts, you have NOTHING TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!! don't even think twice about this, go! And if he won't be 'your type' i'm sure you'll still have fun and at least gain a nice male friend.
It's easy for people to seem interesting, confident, charming, funny etc online as they have more time to formulate replies and arn't to scared to say certain things.


You may find he is nothing like how he is online and when you meet it could be very awkward..





OR you meet, fall in love, get married.





who knows
I never really feel the same attraction to my boyfriend online or on the phone as I do in person. They're all different.


His online representation of himself will be different to the real thing...so just be prepared for a surprise if he's not the kind of person you expected him to be. Just try to have fun, you may connect even better in person
people seem to act differently on the phone. when writing i guess you are more confident as you cant see the other persons face, or have an immediate reaction to whatever has been said, good or bad. personally myself im not very good at talking on the phone, and im pretty quiet while im on it, whereas in person im totally different, and im very loud.


if i were you id give him a chance and meet up with him, he cant be that bad since you seem to like his writing.
Trust your instincts. Stop now. It will get harder to put the brakes on once you meet him. He knows your number so you may have to change it but hopefully it will be the end. Don't ever question your instincts, they're usually right for some reason. Keep your future dates to guys you or your friends know personally. There is risk there also, but maybe a little less. Be careful and take care.
go on the date. You never know, it's just a meeting. You always get cold feet when it's time to really meet the person after talking on the phone or online.


Just be careful, meet in public places, let friends know where you are going, and try to relax. Keep it casual, like dinner and a light conversation.
You didn't feel the connection on the phone because you felt nervous and awkward.


If he lives far away, or is usually gone on business, then why pursue someone who will never be around?


One date will not hurt. Its not like you have to marry him or anything. It is just a date.
go for a date
