On two occations I turned down men. One I turned down because he seemed to want a fling, and another because I disagreed with his beliefs. I simply told them I didn't want to see or talk(one of them was actually from online) with them anymore. Immediately, I was told that they enjoyed the time spent with me, but that I was weird anyway, on both occasions. I guess part of me is looking for a guy's idea of what a weird girl is supposed to be like. And do men, or women for that matter, like to hurt someone because they can't get them? Has anyone ever had that experience?
I have been dating online for a long time, and I have met a fair number of interesing poeple; however, no one actually made me want to be with them forever, perhaps not yet.
Once in New York, I met a man, but on our first date, he mentioned his ex and how he thought she was the perfect person for him, the love of his life. I met a man in Bucharest who was kind and considerate, but unfortunately he wasn't interested in me in a romantic way. I met another man in Bucharst who wanted to hold my hand, but I wouln't let him. Perhaps it was just too soon. I also met another man in Greece, who was only after one thing. I also almost got scammed on line once.
I think my experience grew with every unsuccessful date. I am no longer looking for the perfect man, but for a nice man, a man considerate of his surroundings and people around him.
I know of a girl who met a man on line, got married and moved to Canada. Her success on line made me think that perhaps the internet is a place where one could meet someone for a serious relationship, something I refused to believe in the past. Perhaps, my prior misconceived notions about online dating have only caused my failure where men were concerned. Perhaps, it is chance to give internet dating a real chance.
