Familiarity breeds contempt

Have you ever felt as though baring your soul in an online profile invites people to feel as though they are way more familiar with you on the first, second and third dates as opposed to someone you meet or have met in a traditional way?

This thought came to me because of the bold and brash way I feel I have been treated by some men I've met through online dating.

Share some of your encounters that may support this point of view...

  1. I met up with a guy whose profile indicated he was interested in a long-term relationship which is what I was looking for. We emailed for almost a month before our first face-to-face and had talked about taking things slowly in an effort to give this the best chance possible. On our first date, he arrived well groomed, sweet, expressive, respectful and true to what I expected. On date two however, he was disheveled, unkempt, abrasive and grabbed my breast when he leaned in for our first kiss. I was caught off guard and wondered if there was something I may have done to have misled him into thinking that my intentions had changed. I was also thankful this wasn't date #10 and that I didn't waste months getting to know this guy!
