This is what i was told by a man i was chatting with ( not from here)
for a few days over the weekend

He was a lovely guy and was very open and straightforward .
i would have met him ,but for one thing,,( that , i'm not going to say here)

My question is,,,,,, is that too much for me to expect from anyone on here.
personally .i don't think so ,, but it is an illusive quality, i find,,, unfortunately.

sigh doh

If you seek you have to meet.
Doubts,expectations and hopes,
will form in general at that first meeting.
Sometimes,"i found her/him" rings bells at the first meeting,
Other times decision making,for various reasons takes longer.
But the bells they are there,ringing different tunes.,
according to our expectasions.

Since you did not mention what the "one thing" was, it is impossible to address what your expectations were....just sayin'..??

There's no 100% guarantee with life, not to mind human beings


As long as they are honest about the major things, that's a good start

It may depend on whether the topic is subjective or objective.

With some things, some people see things totally differently to others.
That doesn't mean they are being dishonest if they say it. They may simply see it differently.

It depends on the topic.

Expecting honesty from people you chat with,is natural.
Also natural is, to be cautiously optopmistic,as not all the people
you chat with, wave or cover themselves with the flag of honesty.-

Yes Chris you are right, i like the way you worded that.
I will put it down to further experience.

It bothers me when i think someone is nice, and genuine,
then find out what their true colours are handshake wave

Ann I don't think it's too much to expect people to be honest.

The only problem is expecting everyone to be honest on sites that there are obviously dishonest people such as scammers.
