I think this is spot on. I've met people online before and talked to them for a good while, I thought I kind of liked them, then I met them in person and I didn't feel the connection that I thought I did. I then went on to force myself to feel that i felt them and I kind of ended up dragging them on. Luckily I ended it after we met again. I knew it wasn't right and I am glad we met when we did or else we might have been just talking for WAY TOO long.
