I don't think that has a lot to do with age, it's just part of the internet game. Many people talk to a lot of others and play the "numbers" game. By this they e-mail lots of guys/girls and see who responds. They are not really truly interested in just one person, but rather the one who responds first... even if you are talking, or dating for that matter, if someone else pops up they like better or becomes more serious that was already in the picture, then "poof".

You just have to take it with a grain of salt, because you have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes.

Well, maybe you should explain what you mean by "toyed with"?

If there is a connection or attraction beyond the physical, then ten years is not all that much. But the actual ten years matters. For example, twenty versus thirty in comparison to thirty versus forty... can you explain? How old are you?

Normally, I wouldn't date someone 10 years younger, but every once in a while, I meet someone who has seen a lot more in life that and that acts and seems older. In those cases, I might make an exception. Some people say age is just a number. But I say it is an accumulation of life experiences and can I relate or not.

Oh..and..I swallow...so pick me!
