Relationship Help

151 21 February 19, 2013 at 07:25 PM in Chat (2)
It has been a while since I've been in a relationship with someone, like four years. I met a girl online via online dating site and really thought I hit it off. She's attractive and has an interesting personality. I got her number last night and we've been communicating since then. Two questions:
I asked if she wanted to meet, response: "Maybe Smilie"
How am I supposed to take that? Good/bad?

Also, earlier when we first met, she mentioned she's not the best at asking questions (ain't that the truth). So, I've been asking her some questions and been getting one word answers in return. Is this good/bad/neutral?

I don't want to screw this relationship up. Advice please?

I feel like this whole thread is either some troll, someone who is just genuinely completely clues, or just some joke...

I asked her if she had a web cam. She does. Hopefully we can video chat later. She's "working" now.

Well this thread looks amusing!

OP, I was a shy college kid once too. Really, a dating website doesn't seem right for someone your age. I knew I was horribly shy, but you have to face your difficulties, and just put yourself out there. I would force myself to sit in some of the most high-traffic areas of my (very small) college lounge, hoping it would increase the chance that I would meet people.

It worked. Not a lot, not perfectly, but it worked.
Just get out there, force yourself to say hi, ask other people how their day is going. Even if you don't care. Even if you don't know who they are. It's hard, but you won't meet people if you don't get out there. And though I could be completely wrong, I'd bet most teens on a dating website aren't looking for relationships, but just one night stands instead. So if you're on there looking for a relationship, you might not have much luck.

B/c they probably arent 18/19... I mean seriously, I am really taken back from this story.
Are you taken aback because... he sounds JUST LIKE YOU?! Seriously, I thought you had changed your name again after reading this thread. laugh out loud

Is it really that hard to go out and just genuinely have a conversation with a girl/someone? I do not find it hard, and that is my method, I am around the same age as you are OP.
OMG, whatever! If OP knew about all your "girl crisis" threads and how incredibly socially inept you were, he would laugh at this comment, too.

Online dating is something I have never thought of, well until I saw this thread, it has always been something that never comes up into my mind. And hopefully never will, as a method to get girls.
You of all people should seriously consider online dating.

I know about my threads... bc I made them that way, and I acted the part.

Yea I was reading this too and thought about thread I made or was a part of with something like this. I was like "Why does this sound so familiar?".

Anyway, I may have the similar problem, but I never resorted to online dating, plus my problem was and still is, I get to know the person/girl, get their number and such but i never contact them back. We have been over and over this before.
