Have you ever had an electric chemistry with someone online then not felt the same upon meeting them ? Or the opposite , where it translated into a phenomenal meet ?

A 3rd scenario , one I like and I have maybe 3-4 people in that category , Is that connection that hasn’t become a meet yet . The one where you wondering just what it ll be like . Really makes fab for me ...

Have had the ones that are great online but you can't drag a word out of them face to face. It's horrible.

But every now and then you meet someone that is even better in real life than what you imagine them to be.

Those are the special first meets.

That's why I like to get a social face to face in early as you learn so much more in a couple of mins face to face than weeks of online.

Sort of. I'd put it down to shyness.

Good reason not to delay it too long.

I definitely need to meet to see if there's a connection. Have been quite surprised with one or two when meeting in person and been a few when met in person just no spark at all

I never assume there will be any kind of spark. The only person I've ever met with whom the initial online spark translated to a real connection, we're still together. My experience is that a lot of men are so nervous in person at a social meet that they either have almost nothing to say, or talk incessantly about themselves

Unfortunately yes, not from my side though but I just know it was for them

As said before shyness can play a part but on this occasion I just got into my head and I could have communicated things better from my end beforehand!

Once, having chatted for years pretty much, what I had in my head was a social meet, a sit down somewhere with a cuppa, turned into going straight back to their hotel. Whilst that may seem like a dream scenario, that the chemistry was there, it was genuinely unexpected and my anxiety kicked up an immediate fuss.

Knowing that they don't get a lot of free time, I know I definitely wasted it for them and I've felt terrible about it ever since

You don't get a second chance at a first impression as they say sure!

I like it to make it clear even before the meet if I can stay for longer than coffee. If I can’t I say things like I can’t go to the pub afterwards because of say soccer or whatever (sounds better than can’t stay for sex , and reasons are genuine ). Being rushed to the hotel might ruin sex but what will definitely ruin it is clock watching "
This is why we should sometimes put looks aside and enjoy the package, As the Quality of the person is inside and could be phenomenal meet ? And most people on fab According to There verifications only meet once

I think ok scenarios are

1. 1st social , 2nd meet

2. Some form of ongoing thing: meeting as a couple on a regular basis and declaring this

3. Some form of outstanding characteristic which needs highlighting

Or you are getting to know the person better and want to say more?

It says a lot about the person that you would meet them again dont you think? A lot of people on here are looking for repeat meets and not once offs, so a second veri shows that the person isnt just out for one off random shags.

Yes maybe we hold back too much on here with veris. There is no way looking at some profiles , who out of their veris they’ve started a couple profile with unless specifically mentioned in the couple profile .

We prefer to err on the side of discretion when it comes to repeat meets. Nor do we have any particular objection to "random shags" as you put it, sometimes circumstances mean you can only meet people once, it doesn't mean the meets are of lower "quality" just because they lack in "quantity".

To me, the purpose of a veri is to confirm the person is real and turns up for meets, their other qualities I can work out for myself

I tend to pay little attention to the hyperbole caused by a rush of blood to various organs

Yes has definitely been the case on a few occasions. Think ur getting on great until you meet in person and they act completely different to how u expected.. Only 1 good experience still meet 4 years later when time allows..

Just shoes not all chemistry online can continue in person.

What is online chemistry anyway, but a display of social skills, that doesn't necessarily translate to anything more....many people are adept at reflecting back in a way that makes the other party feel they have loads in common, but it's not something that holds up on closer inspection.

Apart from the fact that it cannot be sustained indefinitely - unless the other party has a low EQ or simply sees what they want to see, a level of physical attraction will surely be required for most?

Well physical attraction aside, which alot of that can still be judged to a degree online....

Who said it needed to be sustained indefinitely. We are talking about fab interactions.

There are as many people who could charm others meet and greets and end up being a completely different type of person as there are people who can reflect favorably online

It doesn't always have to be nefarious

Not intentionally nefarious, simply a learned skill ...

So the same as in person chemistry then?

Well physical attraction aside, which alot of that can still be judged to a degree online....

Who said it needed to be sustained indefinitely. We are talking about fab interactions.

There are as many people who could charm others meet and greets and end up being a completely different type of person as there are people who can reflect favorably online "

True, a lot of people are easily taken in on brief interactions

On a separate but related topic

Having a huge number of reheat meets with someone , caring for them in someway which is impossible to steer clear of over a long period , ringing them on a bad day etc , yet not developing an emotional connection which amounts to a relationship is very tricky . You have to really be on the same wavelength in terms of what you’re seeking , to carry on being fwbs for years and years . How you manage the online element between meets is also very important

"On a separate but related topic

Imo if your calling them on bad days for support, caring for them over an extended period its a relationship regardless of what you label it

Nice when you have chemistry and banter online and it does translate tho. You feel like you've known someone a while and hit it off straight away in person and repeat meets are a given

I think there are ways to pull it back towards a FWB situation and away from a relationship , for example

1. All parties Having the same set up with more than one Person

2. All parties continuing to meet others separately without any ‘consultations’

3. All parties having the freedom to go offline when Necessary for extended periods without much drama then return to the same set up

And so on

Do you not think if your having to actively pull it back from a relationship in your own mind ita a sign it means more

Is that not what friendship is about too though? In this instance there's the additional benefits of sex.

Definition of relationship is:

"the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected"

The minute anyone starts engaging with anyone, a relationship of sorts has been formed.

It is then up to both parties to decide on the boundaries of that relationship. More often than not, boundaries are just "assumed". At least in the world I grew up in, communication was often very poor. This is where conflict arises.

I think Casual has a way of making his boundaries clear. If he verbalised those as he does here with his potential meets and existing repeat friends, I certainly would know where I stand:

Not a committed and exclusive relationship, but an agreement to keep in touch with a bit of banter, having gotten to know one another, enjoying each others company and good sex. Liking and checking in on the other even if it's not just about the next session.

Of course, emotions get involved. I'm sure there are few who'll go and talk to or fuck anyone they don't like somewhat or are attracted to somewhat.

It's about keeping the boundaries, and not relying on the other as if you were in a committed relationship. But leaving them that space when they don't reply, aren't available, do meet other people etc...

Just because you're meeting someone repeatedly over a longer period of time, doesn't make it a committed exclusive relationship. That needs to be verbalised and agreed on. Though I'm sure that there are situations where boundaries get wishy washy and are crossed. Have heard the horror stories...

Sounds like you manage kind of 'professional' relationships,

like what a teacher/counsellor/carer might make. connecting in a caring way but not taking it home with you?

I dont think relationships need to be committed or exclusive.

And I would consider true friendships are a kind of relationship.

I feel if you are in a scenario where you need to manage a sexual partner to prevent it becoming a relationship one or both parties have already blurred the line.

Circular ? Not manage but start off with clear intentions communicated to all and by all

Anyway we should probably move on to discuss open front doors or smegma or something more light hearted
