Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

So I've spent months idly browsing this thread with amusement at all you wimps fretting your dates. Now it's my turn :( ****

So, firstly she added me on Facebook, and having seen the rest of her pictures, if she is as she looks, I will be batting way above my average. Obviously won't go into it (giggedy) with that mentality, but still! Secondly, she's in Sheffield, I'm in Manchester.

Is it bad form on my part for her to travel to me? Somehow that's how things are looking. Or does it not really matter... :o

Got a blind date setup by my co-workers this Friday. She is 19 (I am 27) and blonde with brown eyes. Two things that make me over think this is, she's apparently curvy (we all know what that means) and she hasn't had much luck with dates cause they didn't like her name?

This could be hilarious.

is there anywhere worth the effort in the middle you could meet?

Batting above your average is fun, never know what you might get unless you swing... (not an encouragement to knock her out and drag her home cave man style)

If she's keep to travel then let her come, offer to come see her for a second date, have a 3rd in the hills between like walking up them or something, or just not have a second date at all (if she's a bad person). So yeah don't make a thing of the travel as its never a big thing, being nice thens to matter more.

The only populated place sort of ish in the middle is Buxton. Otherwise there is just the Peak District in between :D I don't mind going to Sheffield at all, it's just she's been assertive and said she'd come here, so rather than beating around the bush any further, why not? Just wondered if it would look bad, like I should make the effort as the guy, or if I'm just fretting over nothing. I guess I could just say hey, I'll come to Sheffield, and that's that!
 
Yeah, if she wants to travel, she can travel. Us ladies do have legs, can drive and can use public transport!

And 'not much luck with dates because they didn't like her name'

What can her name be, and note they didn't tell you. Let us know! Can't imagine what a bloke could be called that would put me off.

Well, in fairness, she instigated the chat, and also suggested the date, thinking about it, I've done barely anything, haha. Fair enough :)

Just taking a wild stab in the dark there Berath.... :)
 
As for the girls name, I knew a girl once who's full name abbreviated to "HIV".... unfortunate to say the least but a nice girl none the less maybe its something like that, you know how shallow people can be
