If a man, whom had been a increasingly close friend thus far and you were contemplating a relationship with, but weren't sure what you wanted, said this online:

"I adore your personality, your sweetness, your smile, your curves, your laugh, your eyes, I adore YOU"

Would you fall for him or run?


(I voted "Other" because I am a male, and this would not apply to me)

I chose other...

You stated after a time that that this man and I were talking correct? And all of a sudden he stated this online without every having met me?

The tricky thing about chatting with someone online is it is relatively easy to develop online friendships without ever meeting however if it is leading to a relationship where romance and a possible long term relationship can evolve I would haveto say very hard to accept..

Since emailing, texting someone can be great and a friendship can spawn romantic feelings depend largely on actually physically meeting, you can meet someone and not be attracted to them at all...

If I were contemplating having a relationship with this man I may develop bigger feelings. I'd definitely find it sweet. If this were a friend I'd never consider dating then I'd say thanks and politely explain I'm not interested. I'm not sure I could easily ditch a decent friend over something like that though.

We can't answer that... We don't know the guy... Id he some kind of creep that you feel you need to stay away from or is he a nice guy that you think you could have a relationship with?

If he's a creep then walk away. If he's a nice guy then give it a shot.... What do you have to lose.

I chose "other" because I try not to "be friends" with men in whom I am interested. If I'm interested in a relationship with a man or attracted to him, I can't be that man's friend. I would put up a "wall" that prevents him from passing aquaintance into friendship. We could be on good terms and have deference but no more. I think it's always a bad idea to date your friends.

I would say thank you (because you can adore friends....as friends). I've never had relationship start out as friends. We ended up dating because we both knew that was the common goal from the start.

I've never been in a good relationship that didn't start out with being friends. The OP said the girl he would write this to was already contemplating a relationship with him, so there is already some romantic chemistry. I think saying something nice like this to a lady who is already attracted to you would only make her like you more.

I don't put much stock into things said online unless it's over a skype videoconference.

People drunk text all the time. I would have to know it came from a sound mind.

Videoconference only, no chat, and definitely NO TEXT.
