some of us often fall in love with someone that never existed or only lived in our head. the person on the other end of the wire or even across the starbucks table is an utter stranger.
love the great illusion.

Sometimes a friend of a friend that is your on list may want to add you as a friend because they are attracted to you. I had that happen three times and all 3 girls were ugly.

Opti, where've you been? Too much fun? That "missing members" thread was up recently and I was about to add you "in memoriam." I always miss my messed-up twins!

Anyone can be anything online. Anything. People can claim to be anything they want. Why would anyone spend a year talking to someone and not know if they are real? Baffles me.
I have suggested to meet but she says she is a bit wary since she hasn't met anybody off the internet before. i actually spoke with her on the phone today, but she called me during work and i couldn't chat for long.

Part of me doesn't want to say i like her. I'm scared it would drive her away and freak her out.

I don't know what to do.

If one is prone to that, the way of meeting doesn't really make any difference.

The blonde with the glasses in the album, right? Doesn't quite look like what I think your type would be...
