Hi all!

As one of the few singles here, I was wondering if any of you guys ever met someone through the internet and then met in real life? And how did it go?

Myself, I had my first blind date with someone I met through the net and then we emailed a few times before he said he'd come visit. I didn't really want to but I thought "what the hell..", so we met in the town where I live in. Before he came here (he lives 350 km from me), I told him not to expect to be invited to stay over at my place. Anyway, we met in town, went for a walk, went for coffee, for dinner, talked a lot, then went to my place, and of course he stayed over, and we actually had sex.

The next day, he left, (him saying he had a great time and we'd stay in touch..) and I didn't hear from him since (it's been 6 days now). So that night I thought, wow, this is great, an intelligent, well-educated guy, we had a lot in common and a lot to talk about, and he seemed to have a good sense of humour. Now I feel kind of used. I guess I should have expected that.... Does he now think I'm a slut because we had sex the first time we met? Now that I didn't here again from him, I kind of feel like one. I guess I should know better. I don't think I will do that again. maybe I should better wait to meet someone in real life. Without him knowing that I post pictures of myself on the internet...!? I mean, honestly, guys, what do you think? Does a woman who likes to show her pictures on the net deserve to be treated like a whore?

Or am I overreacting?

I guess my main question is: Do you guys think a girl who has sex with you on your first date "qualifies" for a serious relationship?
