What makes you ask a girl out through online?

[Anonymous]

Because of curioisity? attraction? feelings?

[exitseven]

I think that people can meet online and cultivate a relationship that could be worth an in person meeting.

[Asker]

Would you have to be attracted to her for you to ask to meet?

[exitseven]

Yes, probably. I think that you cn be attracted to somebody just by exchanging a few texts and maybe a photo or two.

[FilmGuy93]

I've only ever done it because of curiosity. Of course I found the women attractive, but I wasn't motivated by that fact.

[Asker]

Would you have to be attracted to her for you to ask to meet?

[Asker]

Or be interested in her?

[FilmGuy93]

Probably... Attraction is a necessary part of wanting to meet with someone, but it was never my primary reason to do.

[Clsr2thedge]

I wouldn't ask a girl out unless we'd spoken for a while and I felt that we had chemistry or things in common and we could hold a good conversation.

[Asker]

Even if you’ve only conversed on online?

[Clsr2thedge]

Yeah, but like I said after a while, maybe a couple of weeks so that I was confident I knew them well enough

[Asker]

Would you have to be attracted to her?

[Clsr2thedge]

Yeah, I think attraction is important for both people otherwise what's the point. But I would assume that pictures would be exchanged somewhere along the line

[Asker]

Me and him chatter for months before he asked me out. He only asked me out after I hinted at taking things beyond online. He has seen my pictures. I don’t know why it took him that long to ask me out. What’s your guess?

[Clsr2thedge]

Maybe he thought you weren't interested in him romantically. Maybe he has low self esteem. Could be a variety of reasons. Best way to find out would be to casually ask him

[Asker]

So him not being that interested in me is a small chance?

[Clsr2thedge]

I would say he's definitely interested in meeting you. I would only start to worry if he cancels your plans to meet

[Asker]

by the way he’s currently on work trip. So we haven’t had the chance to meet yet. I’ve noticed that he’s started to post on snapchat quotes about being trustworthy, keeping promises etc. I don't know if they’re targeted to me …like a subliminal message lol

[Clsr2thedge]

They could well be. Give it time, and hope for the best

[Asker]

by the way why do you think so “ I would say he's definitely interested in meeting you.”

[Clsr2thedge]

Because he asked you out. Might have taken a little encouragement but if he didn't want to meet you he wouldn't have done it at all

[Asker]

What could be the reasons for a guy needing encouragement to meet / take things further?

[Clsr2thedge]

Shyness, lack of confidence, fear of ruining what you have

[Jltakk]

If her bio is good and isn't filled with stock images, then why not

[Asker]

Would you have to be attracted to her for you to ask to meet?
