Wonderful post. Nothing makes me run faster than a person who expects to meet me after a few minutes of chatting online. I am a very cautious person by nature and if I get a 'feeling' about someone I will not meet them. (i.e. If they bring up meeting within 5 minutes - that terrifies me).
I agree with this too. It takes me a bit to gain the courage (and the ability to trust that I am not going to be kidnapped, raped and thrown in a ditch) for me to meet the other person. I get scared even meeting in a public place. I am very well aware that I am no match for a man if I did indeed feel threatened and needed to get away...so I am careful how I go about meeting men.
Then again everyone tells me I worry to much in general so maybe I am over analyzing just a nice person.
I don't like it when men sit back and wait for me to run over to them...(IRL or online)...I am pretty shy with new people and they'll be waiting a long time if they are expecting that. Plus, I like to be chased. (Don't tell the hardcore feminists or they'll take my bras and burn them. *Tear*).
I use those reasons to back out of meeting, like annie said, with an overly pushy person.
I had plans to meet a guy (after a bit talking online and a lot talking on the phone) and I ended up backing out. I had a serious family emergency to help with and I let him know I was going to have to change the day of our date, gave him the reason etc.... He called me twice a day for a week. That's after I asked him to please not call for a little bit. (I had told him that I'd be at the hospital day in and day out). It made me very nervous and I have since cut off contact with him. Someone must have been watching over me.
