Ambrose2007: Well, even when your initially "virtual" relationship becomes "RL," a person who lives some distance away from you (the reason it started "virtually" in the first place) has the option of ignoring you just as though you were in an internet-type relationship.
I know that had I lived in the same town as my ex that the course of the last few months would've been vastly different - as would the course of our breakup. It's easy to go into hiding when you live 500 miles apart. It's also easier - at least for my ex - to downgrade the importance of the relationship since, unlike with her "other ex," I have little to offer in terms of practical help/support, which is greatly important to her. So the penalty for erecting a "wall of silence" is far less to her.
well ya, I guess we can all attach different instances from our collective experiences
I was speaking in general terms but what u r saying definitely applies
I have tended to ask myself, "Would I do that to a person IRL?" and if the answer is "No," then I don't do it to them on line either
Maybe to me, it's just very important to feel that I am emotionally and psychologically accessible to my friends whether on line or IRL
and I think some of the "hiders" who suddenly disconnect are prolly hiding something - especially if they disconnect from you just as u ask some questions that might "reveal" something...
Uniquemom61: Girl....how many sites do you need???...You are beautiful!
You should have men knocking at your door....
Oh thank you
but that's not the case and I'm not sure why - as I've never before in my life had problems finding/meeting a guy till recently
I think a lot of people expect that I was going to get back w/ my ex....not happening
and then someone spread a bunch of rumors that I am not really divorced - uh- not true - I have the papers hanging on my wall in a nice frame
I have had to deal with a lot of nosy troublemakers here as our divorce was big news in a small pond.... made my life really difficult and I soooo desire to move on...I have moved on but I think those things interfered in me being able to love again ...now at this point I have no clue???? but they just don't ask
funny thing is that I am such a marshmallow - I do not care about looks, cars and money but I also won;t sleep with them right away, and I dont do hook ups. So many women do, I think guys just say - why should we follow her rules when we can get laid left & right with younger women who will "just do it" frustrating but really I don't know why ....I've never had this problem before in my life never ever
IMO, In online 'dating', your partner wanting to keep everything under cover...quiet, not wanting to let the news out...red flag. Been there and eventually found out he was online 'dating' more than just me...quite a few...can you say player?
Another flag, profile stating they drink socially...It's been my experience that it actually meant regularly...
Listen to them talk. Are there any inconsistencies...if so-red flag.

So many more...so sleepy...
IRL or online this is a huge red flag - have it happen pretty recently online and a few yrs ago IRL

BTW despite my complaining a few have asked... not anyone who is really my type..seems like the ones I'd really be interested in seldom ask...or they live hundreds of miles away....

Oooh Looking back, I have quite a few...but here's one I never forget.
When the guy starts to pick on little things about people and things around him. Like how a girl's hat sits funny or that there's a speck of dust on the table. ===> Control freak who expects more of others than himself

I am not sure I really have a type....I will just feel it when I feel it....I guess
mostly I blame myself for being a little uncertain & overly cautious (prolly)- stuff from my past divorce really is no longer an issue as time has pretty well proven my character....
I guess I just haven't met him yet or if I have it just hasn't happened yet
(the secret is I frighten them all away by wearing my clothes backwards and never washing up - do u think that might be it?)
