I've been talking to someone interesting for about two months now, but we've never met. He's vaguely mentioned something about wanting to meet in person sometime. He emails once a day, but i'm unsure about whether or not he likes me.
....How do I know if I like him? I look forward to getting his emails, and I always smile a lot when I read them, and we share some fairly interesting conversations. He has several qualities that I really like, but others that I wasn't really looking for....So, how do you know if you share a bond with someone online?
Thanks so much.
It's someone my friend introduced me to, not a stranger.

You should be careful who you've talking to on-line. There are people who pretend to be someone and you find out it's not as it seems. Does your friend know this person in real life or did she meet him on-line?

I don't understand this habit on answers of asking whether you like someone or not. You are the ONLY person who can tell that. My bet is you do, and you are seeking some kind of approval so that you can know it's okay.
Well, believe me, it's okay. If you wish to meet him, meet in some public place, and on the premise of being friends, and you should be fine. Don't give him your contact details apart from online contacts, and take it from there. You'll get a much clearer vibe from him in person, my bet.
And don't worry about the qualities you "weren't looking for". If you are too detailed about what you're looking for, you can miss out on what you actually need, and people can surprise you.

Try talking directly on the phone first before you meet him. If that goes well, meet in a very very public place for safety reasons. Or better yet, bring a friend along and have him bring a friend and just have a casual meeting as a foursome to take some of the pressure off.

I would say that you have to meet face to face to really know if something is there and you like him. Hard to tell online. You will see if there is chemistry when you meet. If you like the emails and they make you smile, then that is a good start. Don't be fooled though by building him up in your mind, into something he may not be. You may be let down when you meet if you do.

Darling, you really don't [know if you really like him or not] until you meet in person and begin dating. In spite of the fact that we live in a virtual-cyber world, you can't do everything on line, especially developing relationships. Almost everyone can look good in writing and e-mails, but the only way you see how someone really is, is to spend time with him or her.

Get him to send you a photo, then arrange to meet him in a busy fast food restuarant (with a friend). Check him out from a distance, and dont actually go up and say hello if you dont like the look of him? Dont give him any identifying pictures or addresses for yourself.

how do you know it's a guy at all? how do you know he isn't 8?
you can connect with a person in text, but you need to meet to know if there is anything more. but in reality, you really can't bond online. do you atleast know what he looks like? maybe he can share other sites he's on. look up his email and see if you can find out anything about him.

well if you have seen him on webcam numberous times and actually know who he is... then meet up with him (with some mates at first) then on your own after you have seen him... because personalities are a bit different online to what they are in real life..
I made the mistake for falling for someone I met online... lets just say I cried for a fair while x

You won't know if there is chemistry to fall in love until you have met him. If nothing else, it sounds like the two of you can still be friends regardless of how any romantic issues work out.

Well your friend wouldn't set you up with a freak, so go ahead and meet him. Try not talking to him for a few days/week and see if you can do so without thikning about him at all. If you can do it, then you don't like him THAT much. If you can't do it, then you do like him.
