Big_John: I agree. This site is truly only to enjoy the Forums/Threads. I would be amazed if I met someone on here. Lots of scammers on CS.
Lots of scammers everywhere, John. Do you close all doors, and thereby your heart, forever?
I have a friend who lived with his girlfriend of 3 years, and was getting ready to buy her a ring. He did something stupid, and because of that is temporarily suspended from his field, so he had to take a lesser-paying job. Suddenly, she's gone, she's now with an ex-boyfriend of hers who just divorced his wife and said he knew better about this gal...and told my friend she never loved him and was just using him. Three years together, FFS.
So...the scammers are everywhere, they're really bad on the pay sites that don't have all of the warnings, and not just here on CS.
And to all, let me ask: if you're real on here, do you think everyone else is fake in the forums? Many of us are real. It's finding that right real person that's difficult, but it is possible. I'll never stop believing that this is one of the best places to do so because of the forums. Just proceed cautiously and take your time...and know that it's all a risk that's part of life. Love is always a risk...but if we don't take it, we're already dead.
I'll wait until I die to be dead. While I'm alive, I'll live, and risk, and hurt, and do it all again.

I love you guys.
