Feelings are very intense here. At best we are whittled down to our true selves. At worst, we adopt a persona and use it to play our games. Understand that knowing which you are dealing with takes time and anything that feels off is a red flag and shouldn't be ignored. Past that, I think it's wise to remember that those feelings don't often translate well into the physical. A virtual connection does not guarantee chemistry and that first meeting is nothing short of freaky more often than not. I guess I'm just saying keep your eyes open and your expectations low. :)
