I met a guy a day before my birthday, August 25th. He already wants to meet me. Why men want to hurry in a relationship? I want to take my time, the relationship may last longer if you both go slowly.

What if you meet and realize you aren’t right for each other? Then you wasted all that time talking without meeting first.

Men don't want to invest time in an online relationship if there is a possibility they meet months later and discover one or the other is not physically compatible

Most nt women these days prefer relationships to be that way, so thats why the men act like that, people generally do what appeals to the most number of people.

I should elaborate that thats what most young women ie: my age group want, before all the cougars starts jumping me,(and not in the fun way they normally do).

I don't see it that way myself, though I am, admittedly rather odd.

The way I see it, even if the relationship doesn't work out, the journey in between can be enjoyable.
*Real* feeling can be felt.

Most things in life become stale and die.
One might at least enjoy some aspect of it before it withers.

Having said that, people need to put a deadline on something like a relationship, so if it doesn't work out, someone has time for a potential new victim, errr, I mean significant other, in their life. :mrgreen:

I tend to think along the lines of putting off meeting someone in person *in case* one partner feels they are incompatible.
True, I would be the one who doesn't measure up. :scratch:
Well, do I need to say more? :mrgreen:

Just my opinion. ;)

I fail to see why, sorry "mate", just elaborating as not to offend people, but I guess these days that's a tall order.

Because they want to get a better idea of whether or not you're worth their time. You can't really know for sure that you're compatible until you meet in person. A lot of people pretend to be someone they're not online, both in the catfishing sense and otherwise.

What's your aversion to meeting the guys you're talking to on dating sites?

It was honest feedback.
Something that aspies are known for.

You gave your honest point of view,
And then I did.
No harm,
No foul. ;)

I assumed it was getting to know someone better.
Aspies are better at communicating online, for a whole host of reasons, mate. ;)

^ THIS ^

It's best to be wary of any one-to-one online contact, because you never know if you are communicating with the person of your dreams or some random member of "Nigerian Royalty" who will eventually ask you to smuggle a fortune out of his/her country, but needs a few thousand dollars from you for bribes, permits, and other paperwork...
