So, I met a guy online. We have great chemistry in cyberspace, and would enjoy long conversations over instant messaging. Then we met in person, and I found him to be arrogant, rude, and he would always interrupt me when I'd speak. Plus he's a lot bigger than how he described himself online. It would be easy to break things off, but I truly enjoy the conversations we have online. How do I tell him that I'd like our relationship to strictly be an online friendship?

Maybe you can convince him to open a CD profile and you can chat with him here. We can all join in the discussion!

He sounds like a loser. Why would you want to have an online friendship with a loser?

He's the kind of person that's really smart but has no social skills. So, online things work out fine. In person, it's a whole other issue.

haha, this is so good and funny. but to answer your question, just friendzone him. meaning tell him you just want to be friends and avoid going out with him again. if he ask why, just say you didn't have the chemistry you thought your did. done.

Why don't you tell him that he came off as arrogant in person? Maybe he can change. This is why many people are single. You all have stupid expectations. And if they disappoint you the first time, you write them off.

Just saying, if you like his online persona surely his real life persona can be changed to be like his online counterpart. YOu just have to give them a chance to change. In your case all you gotta do is tell him he has the tendency to interrupt when you speak. He may not even realize it. Coz he thought you were still IMing LOL.

Lots of people are good online and bad in person, many are bad online and good in person.

You just keep looking as in person chemistry is most important.
