Blackfoot, thanks for the background. Did you choose any specific male role models when you were growing up? (In person or books, movies, tv? Who did you want to be like?)
Mojo, it's important how his mom smells, because he will either expect you to smell that way or else he will be repulsed if you DO smell that way.
My advice about internet dating: meet them as soon as possible. You HAVE to know from the get-go if there is any physical reaction at all. These people who carry on months-long email relationships and THEN meet-- I don't see it. Toward the end of my internet dating period (about 6-7 months) I was proposing we meet for coffee or something almost immediately. The thing I like about the websites is that you can screen for literacy... and that means a lot to me. BTW I never liked match.com. I did like udate.com and kiss.com-- I think they've morphed into one site.
I never would have met my current bf on the internet because he smokes and I had screened out all smokers. Also his adolescent writing style would have put me off-- although in his mid-50's he writes like teens do in their instant messages.
Hairdog, I'm curious-- how much contact (how long) did you and W have over the net before you met in person?
