@qetesh

Same here. Talked to my IE lots during lockdown. Virtual dates, zoom calls etc.

Met up a few times as we needed to be sure it was real.

Who knows how it will turn out but we have both totally fallen for each other.

@Qetesh I totally agree, it's just not possible to know if you really truly want to be with someone without meeting them in person. The longer you chat without meeting, the more likely you are to have built up an incorrect idea of who you're going to meet and end up disappointed.

Much easier for those of us who just snuck off and met up during lockdown 😆

I think what’s happening is that during lockdown people have got carried away with the endless chat, falling in lust or love virtually with that person at the other end of the PC. In fact, many a comment on the forums have boasted about how they have found the ‘one’ here during lockdown. I think the grim reality is that when you finally meet its not quite how you expected it. I would love to know the percentage rate of those that have chatted during lockdown met and then actually wanted to meet ‘the one’ again!

City lover - where to start.

When you say you tried to be honest about what you look like and you also say you exchanged photos, were they just facial photos or whole body?

It sounds like how he'd envisaged you before meeting wasn't the same as what you looked like? I'm just guessing here but men and women have different views of curvaceous.

Possibly you were also nervous, and maybe talking so intensely by messages wasn't the same as face to face.

Hopefully he let you down gently. I'd say you just weren't suited, dust yourself off and try again.

Curious to know, you didn't pee in the bushes did you 😂😂😂

After 8 weeks of messaging and daily photos I tried to be honest about what I looked like. When we met in a park it took time to adapt to seeing him in real life and I really didn’t feel comfortable during that really hot week. In the park with no loos!! It’s not the same as not meeting in a bar as I’m new to affairs anyway! He stopped messaging the next day. He was nice about it but quite clearly told he lies to let me down. I’m more heartbroken than I should be. We had a really intense connection and I miss it!
Anyone else had this? We still had a deep friend connection and kissed a few times.

My expectations haven't changed but I met my ie before lockdown. He's not good looking but he is kind, attractive and funny, not to mention good in t he sack which all works for me. People who just seek good looks often get what they deserve.
