Help on determining if this girl is legitimate

The match making sites are great. Meeting a person you can sync and partner with either happens easy or it takes work. The websites are just another tool. They help you filter out the people not interested in a relationship, and let you concentrate on meeting someone who would like one. And like anywhere else, rotten people, liars, creeps use the internet also. But you are just as likely to meet them in any venue, be it shopping mall, car club or whatever as on the internet.
If your in the market to meet someone, use the tools available. To not do so would be foolish.

As requested some pictures of my BelevedereII. She is very straight just one small dent on the top where a tree landed in a storm a few years ago but it is only 3"x1" so not much otherwise in great shape. We just have to figure out the charging issue and she will be reliable again.

I had an idea for you. If you would really like to move forth with this girl. Give her your number and tell her you would love to talk. Dont expect an immediate phone call, give her up to 2 weeks to actually call you so long as you are still chatting. Dont pester her to call you or ask for her number leave it in her court. If/When she calls you speak on the phone a couple of times, if she is really interested in you expect a few multi hour phone conversations where she will fill you out. If you still want to proceed suggest meeting for lunch or other activity (not a date so no pressure) that is something she will enjoy, in a public place in her home town (that way if she is a crazy you have help, and if she is cool she will be more comfortable) if possible drive your car. Spend a couple hours together if still interested ask her on a date if not move on.
Good luck
 
Just some advice to women on on-line dating sites that I have noticed. If you have 4 cats, DON'T put them all in your pictures with their names! DON'T post pictures of you partying with your kids! You are a parent and a role model, ACT like it! You are NOT their friend. If you are in your 40's, there is no reason you should have a red cup in your hand in every picture!

LOL...That's hilarious...and true!
 
Well I'll put in my two cents since I've gone on several dates from online sites. Bear in mind the following doesn't apply to all women on there either. They're just my experiences.

This is so true. Can't tell you how many profiles I've read that have 8 pictures and 5 are of flowers, dogs, kids, sunsets, the Eiffel Tower, etc. No one wants to see that. They also don't want to see a pic of you posing with several guys at a bar. And a pic of you at the end zone of a football field taken from the 50 yard line with a camera phone isn't a pic, it's a disguise.

I am also amazed at how many women 40+ just can't seem to get their **** together. We all go through tough times...hell I sure have, but when you have a decent job and you still have to dive into the cushions of your couch to find spare change for your car payment, you have a problem. If you're 44, no kids, living with your parents and making $8 an hour, you may have made some bad choices. A lot of women remain hung up on their ex's (an immediate deal-breaker for me). Fully 2/3 of the women I've gone out with are on some sort of anti-depressant. Good grief. These are red flags IMHO...learn to recognize them and "run Forrest, run!"

There are a lot of women on these sites that want to waste your time. Endless texts and emails. Occasionally a call, but you'll go weeks and still not meet. Don't let this happen. Here's what I do: Within the first two or three days, there should be a phone call, and within a week, 10 days max, a date should at least be planned. You're on a site to actually MEET someone, not run up a phone bill. Keep the first meeting light, bright and relaxed. Meet for coffee at Starbucks, or drinks or happy hour at a popular restaurant. If things go well, you can extend the date to dinner or make another date. If then don't, you haven't laid out a lot of cash and you don't have to spend 3-4 hours looking for the eject handle because you're stuck with a wolf-woman.

Best of luck.
 
My advice is simple. Leave her alone. It's the internet. SHE might have a big hairy ball sack and be a serial killer. Not only that, but you're really young. Wait a while. Get into your car. Like Tanya Tucker used to sing, "if it don't come easy, you better let it go". Believe me, when you meet the right one, there will NOT be any question about it.
 
, "if it don't come easy, you better let it go". Believe me, when you meet the right one, there will NOT be any question about it.

i totally agree. if people are jumping through hoops, play mind games and email chat tag , and then blowing a bunch of money all in the name of getting laid or finding a partner , get a life. you will know when that someone is really interested in you and not what you have or how long you can play the game

It's really simple & it's been done for millenniums now... I would highly suggest, you immediately step back from the keyboard, get off the computer, get off the phones or stupid texting tweeting or social site period, get off your butt, actually put some real effort to meeting a nice girl/woman, go out in "real the world" & meet a "real person", not some damn INTERNET dating profile online... what is wrong with the youth nowadays ?? no answer needed that's rhetorical

I see what you're saying, but let's look at the statistics: If what was posted before in this thread is true, 20% of relationships are found online. That means 80% are found in real time. Now let's throw in another statistic: If the divorce rate is 50% (it's probably higher, half (or more) of the people you meet in person aren't really so nice after all. Or at least they'll likely cause you a headache.

I'm 52 years old. I don't really care to go to bars or clubs anymore. I also have a busy work and travel schedule, so using an online dating site is a decent alternative for me. In spit of what I wrote, I have been out with some really nice gals. They just weren't my type. I'm still friends with a few of them. My best friend from HS met his wife online. Great gal and they're crazy about each other. As the saying goes, "You gotta kiss a lot of frogs..."

I understand some folks like to go old school, but new technology isn't always something to be avoided. I'm just saying it's one more venue where you can try to find someone you like. It's all about what you're comfortable with.

:VB toast:
 
Online dating is a great way to START a relationship. It seems to me that people can fall in love without meeting the other person- don't be that guy. Don't get too attatched or share personal information until you meet her (or him lol) in person. This will help keep you from being scammed. I say go for it and have fun- but be careful not to share too much too soon.

I pretty much agree, I have 5 sisters & 3 daughters, I've heard it all believe me, I'm surrounded by estrigon...LOL... I'm 53 y/o so were from the generation, my point is if your on-line, still haven't hooked up with some girl/woman, than the whole deal maybe it's not working for you, I too don't do the bar or club scene either, that's for 20-30 something mostly, unless your looking for a trophy girlfriend or wife maybe, at our middle age... I know a few people that did the INTERNET dating thing, most were total failures, some that worked out too, 20% isn't a great rate that means only 2 of every 10 or 20 of every 100 actually work &80% aren't working, that 80% side of things, sounds a whole lot better/worse to me... if the dating sites don't produce really quickly, then go old school... if you really want to have a real relationship you have to leave your computer or the social media sometime & put a real effort into, actually finding someone, you have to make the time if you really actually want a real working relationship, not having the time, isn't a good excuse, to me anyway... I know how life gets in the way, but you have to put in much more real effort, if you want it bad enough, you have to make the time, women know that too, like I said several times in the threads here "you have to really put some effort into finding someone, that you spark with & it doesn't happen on the computer or social sites... just my thinking, the people that want to hook up on-line, don't really want to put the proper amount of effort into finding a good relationship, or are just to lazy to leave their house or computer... the definition of insanity is; doing the same-thing over & over again & expecting a different result every time... maybe it time to change things up...

All good points. I don't think I'm in for the serious just yet. If I find someone, that's great. If not, I have time. I also just got done with being married just 3 years ago, so I'm REALLY enjoying my own time. Hmmmmmmmm....trophy girlfriend............ ;)
 
So, Dominic, you've been strangely quiet. Did you take my advice? :toothy10:
 
Maybe he found a gal........she tied him up........inside a strange circle......spewing spells to cast the demons out of him.
