I do believe you can have 'real' frienships online. I have 2 or 3 very good friends.

Here's the quandry:

One of these friends is a girl. A woman. A female woman.

I've known her for 4 years or so. I like her. I really, really like her...as more than friends. We've agreed to meet up, but I'm not sure if she means as just friends or more.

She does mean more. What else could she mean. You think she wants to go shopping with you and buy a kitchen clock?

Don't sweat it. You probably can't stuff it up. She is moving the relationship forward so has made a decision of some sort.

Whilst women love witty, knowledgeable, charming men, they also love men who don't say anything but just listen and pay for all the drinks. If you're ever worried about saying the wrong thing in front of a woman just say nothing. Unless it's a direct question most women won't give a shit, they expect their partners to be a bit boring or less talkative than them.

My best friend did a lot of Internet dating between marriages and imparted this wisdom upon me:

"Women you meet online like it in the butt. All of them."

Gosh, he sounds like a catch...

I'll be staying with him tonight in Los Angeles. I'll be sure to pass along your sentiments.

Lols.
I hope you didn't meet him online...

He was my instructor when I was a young Army private.

Yikes.
Aren't you meant to be scared of him, and still having nightmares about his shouting at you till you cried and making you do a hundred pressups for shining your boots wrong?

All that stuff ended with basic training. This was 12 months of 8-hour days in a classroom. He taught a class called "Principles of Satellite Communications."

25 years later we both work for the same company.

Ahhh, that sounds much more civilised!

I'd say that was only about 99% true.

Not been out for while then Godot?

Doesn't he just.

I worry that maybe I've said something in the past to her that maybe wasn't true just to sound more interesting. Nothing major and not to intentionally mislead. Not as in 'I'm single' when I'm married, etc, just stuff like how interesting my job was or stupid things like that.

If you know what I mean?

Lol, yes. But she probably has too. Stop worrying!

I can't believe I wasted minutes writing you some help that you didn't even acknowledge.

I reckon you'll bungle it.

Actually I didn't see the 'online' bit of the sentence. Or the women bit.

Methinks maybe a change of haircut might help?
