I think it takes a long time to REALLY get to know someone...and then it depends on what they want to tell you and who they want you to see in an on-line situation!!

That's why I normally go alot based on a persons actions, are they consistent, can they keep their word, is there any inconsitencies in anything we have discussed etc!!!!! These things tell me, not neccesarily if I will spend my life with this person, but whether or not there could be a potential to meet and form a relationship!!!!!

It's easy to feel strong feelings on here and think it is love, because I have done it myself; however, the true test of whether that love is real and continues for me can't come until you have met, not just once, but until you have spent alot of time together in various situations!!!!

There is certainly always exceptions to the rule, but being cautious with my heart and making a decsion not to jump in too quick, has led me to believe that slow is the best approach for me!!!!!!!

It's not always a matter of missing the red flags. Sometimes we tend to listen to our hearts instead of our heads or our gut instinct. Sometimes what we want or think we want far out weighs the reality of the situation, so we ignore the flags because we don't want to see them. Eventually, hopefully, we get beyond that and deal with the reality of the situation.

Allow me to say this,as nothing in life has a guarantee.

The past is gone but now is forever,the future lies in the hands of the present,right her and now.Its important to go out and grasp the seconds of the day as if you only had that day to live.Experience and enjoy the moments of your life,we only have one life to live,so live it like a champion.We where all put here for a purpose,so let that purpose rise above and show the world what your made of.
I'm not in no means telling you how do live,but asking you to look back at the once upon a life of yours.Don't regret things later,if you feel it is right,do it,its your life,not anybody else's.Make decissions to please you,let nobody put you down,don't live in anybodies shawdows or dreams,cause if you have a dream and act on it,odds are it will come true.

Life is far to short for coulda,shouda,and with each new jouney we learn,and if nothing else we have the experiance of all that it was.

By the way, just because a person is (or says they are) in some kind of respected occupation is no quarantee that they are a good person and more sincere than others.

I just talked to a fellow 'online' today who said he spent a large part of his life in California. I asked him if he ever resided on Alcatraz or any other residences around the country like that.

Actually, I think that it takes probably about two years to get to know another person, to find out what their real character is like. Don't know how people do this online thing and stay sane. ???

Seems like if you date someone from a certain site - if it doesn't work out, you end up seeing them all the time doing their IM's and they see you. Feels uncomfortable to me. But, I am still here and on that 'other' site trying to understand what works....

My .02 is.....you do need to get to know the individual quite well before giving him/her your heart and your undying love and trust.
That means, don't rush into anything. It is hard not to rush into a realationship but time must be taken to get to know the one you are interested in. If he/she is a scam, it will come out.
