ONLINE DATING...

Okay here's the question, I met a guy online, not exactly a dating website, but one where you put your profile up and you can get rated(on pics), sort of like myspace...But him and I started talking a lot..and Im really starting to like him a lot! But somehow I think he's shying away from us actually developing something because of how we met. Just from his comments, Im thinking he feels bad because the way we met really didnt combine with his "male ego"! you know what I mean? He didnt get a chance to pursue and conquer..or even have a first glance(physically) and decide he wanted to go in for the kill..you know how men are about being out in the dating scene(and guys you know how you are!)
Plus he's even said to me that it was hard for him to talk to me this way b/c men are "visual creatures". NOw Im thinking he his holding back his feelings because he feels inadequate that he didnt go pick me out of a club or bar, or something of the sort.
Has anyone guy or girl had this problem with someone youve met on the internet? Not necessarily how the other person felt, but you personally? Did you think you were a loser or embarrassed b/c you didn't go to an actual dating scene?
Plus I was thinking...How do you explain to all your friends and family how you met this person!!??

If he's lying, I say he's an Aquarius.

If he's on the up and up, I say he's Scorpio.
