Is it weird...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums but not the site. I decided to sign up and join you guys and gals!

I was just wondering about something though. It may seem a bit weird, but I don't know. That's why I come to the intellectual minds of freeones :hatsoff:

So, I play PS3 and I recently added this girl to my friends list. We've really been playing online a lot. We even have had private matches where we just play for fun 1vs1. Unfortunately, just before I added her, her mic was stolen. I've really enjoyed our time together and she seems really funny.

We recently exchanged pics via the PS3. She is such a cutie!! I honestly have to say that I find her very attractive. Beautiful face (a must have for me) and a slender frame (I'm slender too, so it works out). She's also from Canada, yet she lives on the far west coast, while I'm stuck in Ontario.

I've never really been "in love", as I've been an adult for only a few months now and I look back upon my "***** love life" and laugh :1orglaugh Here's where the weirdness sets in.... maybe someone could clear it up?

I honestly think I like her. NOT LOVE, as I don't know what love really is yet. Do you guys think that I'm just having another childish love fling because she enjoys the same things I like (gaming, snowboarding) and is beautiful?

Here's another question. Sorry, I feel like I'm blabbing now :rolleyes: Let's say I actually do like her, and she possibly likes me.... Where could this go? And how could I take it to the next level (revealing I like her? Ask if she likes me?) I'll possibly wait for the second one until I hear her talk. See if she's all flirty and giggly :P

Thanks for any help boys/gals :) I hope my stay here at freeones is long and hard GIGGITY :nanner:
 
(Hahahaha, I expect some funny reactions to come...)

You know, about 5 or 6 years ago I'd probably tell this *** he's nuts. Heck, I told my friend from highschool he was nuts for meeting and marrying his wife from an online game. Who am I to talk since I met my boyfriend through the same online game about 9 or 10 years ago. :1orglaugh

So, when you ask where it can go? There's two things that can possibly happen. You meet the girl and she's a complete psycho even though she seems perfect online...or she's someone completely different than she said she was. ~OR~ you end up selling off all your things to move to an entirely different country to settle down with the love of your life. :D

Offtopic
To get in the country with worst train system ever to have almost constant delays to (y)our favorite workplace ;)


Maybe you should just try, if it doesn't work out you can always turn the thing into a small vacation ;)
 
The disappearing mic thing sounds fishy to me. It might be a guy.... :dunno:

That would suck a lot. Too bad there are dickheads out there who do things like that.
 
LOL it would suck if it was a guy O_o. But she lives in a dorm at a college. People steal everything there. I honestly thought I was going to get flamed to death on this topic.

allan, you make a great point. Why not go out there (not to another country, just all the way across Canada) and try to meet her? Might seem weird though! "Hey, so I just bought a plane ticket to XXXXXXX! Wanna meet up?!" lol

And finally, my reply to Petra's post. This is the most beautiful post I have seen here at freeones yet! Why? Because it gives me hope that this could possibly happen and work out :D. But Petra, I was wondering if you could give me details? How did your relationship or your friends marriage work out? How'd you meet your girls? If you don't want to post it, I'll understand. I'm a complete stranger and it's your personal business. But it would be of great help :)

Keep the suggestions and help coming guys :D
 
DJ, be careful man, make sure you do your research before getting too involved. Sure, she lives in a dorm and everything. But have you heard her speak before? Have you added her to msn or anything? Facebook? It's not creepy of you to get this information to make sure she is legit. I do it when things seem too good to be true. And if you ever do decide to fly out west, make sure you got some friends out there or something. I'm sure you have friends that have gone to Alberta at least to work on the oil fields and such... As I do. So make sure you have a back up plan before making any descisions.
 
Thanks for looking out for me jibb :) You sound like you're my older ******* :D

I'll ask her for her msn tonight. Then, using her address, I'll search myspace and facebook and check stuff out. I unfortunately don't have friends working in Alberta. I do have wonderful ****** in Edmonton and Calgary though :D I guess that will be my back up plan.

Something just hit me! What do we both have in common other than video games? SNOWBOARDING!!! My good friend and I could "take a snowboard trip" to Whistler and I'll invite her a long :D Might seem weird though..... Everything seems weird with girlfriends over the internet and stuff lol Probably because I'm new to it
 
The disappearing mic thing sounds fishy to me. It might be a guy.... :dunno:

Send her a mic and a web cam make sure she is who she says she is and that she is attracted to you as well. No excuses, go out and buy the stuff and mail it today.
 
LOL. Now I'd think of myself as a creeper if I bought her a cam. A mic, maybe, as a gift or something :)

Based on the friendship you've described, I think sending a new mic as a Christmas present (or other gift occasion) would be entirely appropriate. Its not overly intrusive, and fits within the bounds of your existing friendship.

Speaking of boundaries, I'd be careful how you push this, even if she's receptive. Friendships and emotional attractions that develop in a setting like that tend to suffer from summer camp syndrome. That is to say, you've created a relationship that exists within artificial boundaries, and might not translate well into normal dating boundaries. I've dealt with it. I've had friends who dealt with it. It doesn't end well.
 
The only advice I can give is to use a condom.

And btw, who said that people had to have "much in common"? It is not necessary at all, either to have a good fuck or just to have a good time together.

A christmas gift? Not a bad idea! I just need her address though lmao That'll be a toughy.

I know I don't want to fuck this up. How many days do I meet a cute girl who admits she loves video games and boarding and she is totally reachable? Never. I don't want to end up messing up and randomly saying "I like you" to her over the mic and having an awkward moment. I'm not the best in those situations :P
 
you end up selling off all your things to move to an entirely different country to settle down with the love of your life. :D

That's what I did. Met a girl online, chatted for about 6 months, gave away all my **** and bought a one way ticket to the USA. We've been married 3 years now and have a gorgeous ********.

First advice: Don't talk yourself out of a good opportunity just because you think it's silly. It doesn't matter how you meet, if there's a chance she could be the love of your life, go for it.

Second advice: I remember, if I think way back to before the net, these machines we used to talk into for communications....te..temel....telephones, maybe? Call her up, moron. I met my wife on a Thursday, and on the Saturday of that same week I called her and we talked for 4 hours. It was the longest phone conversation I'd ever had, by 3 hours and 56 minutes.

First off, the te....temel...telephone part made me laugh. And I'm glad to hear it worked out for you :) Sounds like you have a great thing going :lovecoupl

I would call her, however, I can't just ask for this ****. She's a girl I met through a game lmao This all just seems awkward to me. Will I give up because I think it's silly? Hell no. This could be like a mini movie of my life. Something that I look back upon and smile. Truth be told, I'm buying a new cell phone soon. Maybe it would be a good idea to be like "hey I got a new celly. u have 1? wuts ur number?"
Ask her. It's not weird to like her but good luck with that long distance thing :crash:
Thanks :) And honestly, if I do end up dating her, I'm fucking moving. I'll just get a job as a man whore lol j/p j/p

I want to thank all of you so far. I wrote this thread thinking, "Oh God, I can't believe I'm making a thread about this. But I do need help on the subject." You guys have embraced me with open arms :1orglaugh <3 Freeones For Life!
 
Well, my friend and his wife are doing very well for themselves, as are all of my friends who have met their mate online. Mind, this is actually very common in the gaming community (especially online gamers) since it's not everyday you're going to find someone who doesn't think your hobbies are too weird (and there were a few guys I dated dumped me because of those hobbies LOL).

In fact, I belong to a monthly meet-up for role-players (think the old fashioned sitting around the table and rolling dice..) and most everyone there met their mates online either through a game, chat about gaming, or a gaming forum.

But as for me, I met my boyfriend through Everquest about a year after the game was released. We were in the same guild and it became a daily habit to chat through a messenger since he was just getting home as I was just getting up. It wasn't until about 5 years down the road that a mutual friend pointed out that we had a "thing" going though neither of us noticed. From there we got web cams so we could talk "face to face" and finally we decided to meet...though I do think playing on the beaches of Florida was his secrete motive, though he'll never admit to it. Once that happened, that was that. :D

So, that's the story.

Now, we can play "what have we learned about Petra in the past week." :1orglaugh

Well, first of all, let me just say that I think I like this girl. She plays video games and she's cute? SOLD!!! :lovecoupl

Anyway, umm...what you describe there is the epitome of why you should like someone, so I wouldn't feel weird about it at all. It's completely natural to be attracted to somebody who enjoys the same things as you do, even if you've never met them face-to-face. It's no different than two members of this forum becoming friends because they enjoy the same things and have the same sense of humor, you know?
