She just wants to meet you, not marry you.

I've had relationships that were either ten years or ten hours in the making and it didn't really matter. What's important is that you keep the spark.

What is it about online dating that makes it exciting? I just feel that my bf is not over his online gf even though they faded months before we dated.

It just seems weird to me.
I would ask: Are you an alcoholic or have similar addictive tendancies? She has 2 exes that were alkys. I would also like to know if one of or both of here parents where alcoholics? She may be attracted to this type of personality and if your not, she may not feel comfortable around you unless shes really broken away from that.

Good luck

Red flag. Boundary issues. I don't tell anyone about my past...as much as much as she has told you in less than a week. I have known my current BF for almost a year...and rarely mention past relationships. I find that disturbing. She might be just too needy....too much, too fast.

Why would you not want to meet?

idgi

I would find it weird if someone didn't want to.

I'll just tell you straight out...Anyone that says they are trying to fill a hole in their life is not good dating material. A relationship should be born of mutual interest and both people bring good things to the table. Someone trying to fill a hole is lacking in my opinion, and possibly "needy" You don't want to hook up w/ a needy person....it is draining emotionally.
I would continue looking....why go too fast..there must be others you are also interested in.
