my freshman year, I met a girl on campus via aim. we talked for a while and got along well together both on aim and in a subsequent phone call, and decided to meet up and go out for dinner.

We met, and there was just no chemistry at all. I wasn't attracted to her, she wasn't attracted to me. We ate, we talked, we went our separate ways and never talked to each other again.

Moral of the story: meeting new people is great and all, but you don't really know how you'll do with a person until you actually spend meatspace-time with them.
