re: The Internet
Quote From: mikem48I mean come on, the internet, of course he probably has some problems, that is why he isn't dating anyone in his neighborhood, they know who he is. Why were you devestated, that is pretty much what is on the internet. Find someone you can see, around your hometown. There has been some very bad stories about internet predators. We didn't meet over the internet... We were introduced by mutual friends, he lived maybe 20 minutes from me... He said, did, acted, acted one way with me and our friends, he has a wonderfully supportive family who I'd met & we spent a lot of time with... Yet het had another side that I learned about quite by accident. He always called when he said he would, we spent lots of time together, etc... One day at his house he was checking his email, while I was sitting on the couch... I looked up, and thought, Is he looking at personals??? When I asked him of course he denied it, Something didn't feel right, and so I investigated further. In doing so I learned he had profiles all over the internet, some of which were pretty scary... We're not just talking yahoo personals here. I was devastated because this was a person I had come to care about very deeply., I'd known him for a couple of years before we actually started dating... I believe in 'friendship first'. I could very easily have married this man had I been none the wiser. Even in your own hometown ya can't be too careful.
