I've been emailing with one guy who had my interest until this:
"So what's the next step? Would you like to meet at a gas station and check each other out?"
Sounds like a misunderstood joke. Also perfect example of wimpy guys who ask "so what now? umm maybe would you like to meet?" rather than suggest a good place, day, time, etc. Edit: he tries to make a lame joke of it because he's not courageous enough to tell you a real plan for fear you'll say "No".
Though maybe the gas station near him is juuustttt soooooper !
At least he didn't suggest Walmart. That's low class.
We did exchange pics, though I never show my face. I think it's best to meet in person as photos sometimes aren't a true representation and you can really only establish a connection in person. But it isn't going to happen on a drive by or in a parking lot. Just not the right ambiance...lol.
What? You gotta send a man your picture. No wonder he wanted to meet in a gas station. You were being silly too!

Whoa. You exchanged pics and didn't even have your face in it? Wow. See, to me THAT would have been a red flag. No wonder he wants a drive by.
Whatever the reason, I'd not go there. But I must say...I'd never meet up with anyone that had not provided a clear and recent photo of themselves, including their face.

I agree with Mathguy....while the whole meeting at a gas station thing sounds strange (to say the least!) it could be that he is just downright nervous and a little clueless when it comes to making these first arrangements. Suggest another place..maybe a little wine bar or coffee shop and see where he goes from there.

You have to be kiddin' me! You would attempt to meet this person?! Well, no wonder men behave the way they do then... I guess anything goes...
It's seems strange that a man would join an internet dating site for the purpose of meeting women (presumably, wanting to meet them, not just giving them the once-over at a gas station), put up a profile and pictures, exchange some emails, and NOT be willing to "take a chance" at having a meal with you in person. What does he have to lose? The price of the meal? An awkward hour if you don't hit it off? If he can't handle that, why would he date in the first place? Presumably, he invested a few bucks in the internet dating site (unless it's free) so you think he'd be willing to invest some time to actually sit down and talk. Maybe it's a sign of the economic times, and gas station "meet and greets" are the wave of the future?
