A second cancellation was not that surprising. I repeat, you will NEVER meet this woman. The novelty of the situation has well and truly worn off and a meeting in the flesh will not take place. You only have a small window in which to transfer the initial online chemistry into a meeting in person. Your window has closed. Next profile please.
That sounds logical, syd, but you know what? women on the internet are (ON AVERAGE....god help me if xpanda or billsfan or thumperdragon see this) ON AVERAGE I say....not specifically; they are...
More 'needful' as Steven King would say. A woman in an internet relationship is more interested than the man in the interenet relationship if there is not some actual $$$ return to her for having it...
That is sorry to say, but I would bet that Journey is the 'holdup' here and not the sweet, lovely woman that he has met. I feel for her....I really do. What that man is doing to her heart...nay! HER VERY SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!
mostly just joshing.....

From what I have read, she has cancelled the meeting twice, so perhaps she has a little more hand than we are giving her credit for.
Whenever there is a distance factor the odds of meeting are much higher because it can be very impractical to do so, and both parties ( and most people ) find themselves faced with the dilemma of a 4 hour drive ahead of meeting someone that they think they might like.
It depends what youre looking for. If youre bored and up for chatting with some cool people ( hopefully ) then cast your net wide as distance isnt as much of a factor, but if at the end of the day youre looking to meet people in the flesh then youre best served keeping your search within a more manageable and practical radius. That way you dont end up with wondering whether a 4 hour drive will be worth the time, effort and gas money.

I am neither. I have a little experience in the world of online dating and I like to think that I can also be quite perceptive.
In my experience I have found that cancelled first dates rarely get re-scheduled and come to fruition because unless something important came up to cancel the date in the first place, it obviously wasnt something viewed as too important to honour by the cancellor. I also know for a fact that I cringe at the thought of an hours drive for a date, so a four hour drive to me is not going to happen. Thats nothing against her, its just I would find hard to justify me taking a four hour drive for any reason, let alone a first time meeting with so many variables and possibilities. Maybe thats my pragmatic and practical side coming out.
But for me, I agree in the short timframe or window thingy. After a couple of weeks the novelty can wear off and you can get a vibe of whether youre going to meet that person or not, and also whether you really want to met that person or not. Online can be the same as in the real world whereby after a while if nothing romantic/sexual has happened between you and a woman ( or vice versa depending on your sex) you could be left as just friends.
Im calling Journey and his cyberchick to be friends, and they will continue chatting online from time to time, but nothing more will come of it.
Thats my 2 cents

I believe you are at least from Ohio, then. I assumed Toronto meant Canada.
Then I say to you.....bah! The fault with this relationship going to the shit-hole is YOU syddiggers!!! Yes, you! If it were not for you, Journey would be married by now with three wonderful children and seven grand-children. But you had to be the big fuck-up in all this and ruin it for everyone. Thanks you fucking moron from Ohio.... lol
forgive, please! I've been drinking and I've never been to Ohio.
Good luck, syddiggers....I've just been having fun...

Ive been blamed for a lot less, so I will take the blame for Journey's plight and doomed life of singledom.
No problem at all Tulsa, this is a thread that we should have some fun with, and what better wya to have fun than when its at someone elses expense.
Journey sucks and it should be off to the minstry for him. :finger:
