by the paranoia in online dating?
Everything is so different when it comes to online dating. In the real world, you meet someone, talk for a bit and exchange numbers, then the guy calls or texts and they usually make a date at the end of the conversation. Online things are totally different. We are worried about rapist, stalkers, players, gold diggers, liars, and just about everything else we can think of and we're constantly on the look out for red flags. We have no choice but to use common sense in the real world, why do we find it so easy to lose it in cyberspace? I like to think that most people on jsh/mingle2 have good intentions. But of course they all do not. Hey I'm just asking that people use a little more common sense on here. When you see a pic of a person that is flawless 9 times out of 10 it's a fake. When they only will talk to you during certain times of the day, they're usually married. And I'm sure I could think of 100 other things. My point is, stop and think about it! If it looks or reads like it's too good to be true, then yes, it probably is. |

Good post!
I ran across a guy in my widowed chat room that was funny, nice guy...turned out to be a registered sex offender. People can be anything behind a keyboard and that is worrisome. I do think talking and talking and talking to someone you plan to meet helps rid some if not all of that fear. |
