How do you know who to trust? I know that there are some peope who have others here, and hopefully their relationship is working. I too met a guy here. It's the while cyber thing. I am not sure about men, but know that women have been hurt a lot. I don't want to live the rest of my life alone, but at the same time- don't want to get hurt big time. I have two friends who met their husbands online, and they seem to be doing okay. I have been hurt way too much. He really likes me and I like him. He hardly knows me, and calls me babe or baby. Would like some feedback on this.

Best of luck to you, there are no garantees in life , the internet , pubs , clubs ,library and on , so why not go for it and give it a lash !!
I had to put myself out there and take a chance on getting hurt and did, like we all have. It either works or it doesn't--the worst thing to do is not to try.

If something makes you feel uncomfortable, mention it to the other person.
If it continues.... trust your instincts... if something nags or or sends you that feeling something is not right....... trust your instincts.... That is the most important advise told by experts and believe it or not survival/ criminal experts say.
You have to trip over a few relationships before you finally stumble upon the right one.
I don't know. I want to give him a chance. Just because I heard about these scams that are from Africa or whereever else, doesn't mean that he too is involved in that. It's just that I have been hurt so many times. I struggle with depression. Men especially do not understand that. Some people just say, "Oh snap out of it" easier said than done. I talk to a guy or have from Wales, who seems to think that is not good to feel your emotions. Lately, for some reason- all I have been doing is crying. It seems that most people do not care, are cruel. Yes, I know that life is not perfect- not all roses and sunshine. I have learned that the hard way. But, at the same time- I have to believe that there is gentleness, love, goodness, compassion, and maybe even understanding in this world. That there is someone for everyone out there. I have been divorced twice. That doesn't mean that I cannot find anyone special. I will be careful. I have no choice. I don't understand why some people meet their special someone, and others do not. I try everyday to be happy. I don't like being this way. Many people come down on me cause I deal with depression. I have come a long way. I am stronger because of what I have gone thru too. I do try to see the good in this life. Well, take care all

I deal with depression to, and I know what you are going thru. And turmoil from failed relationships sets it off to higher levels. You can't just turn it off, and crying is a part of it all. And you are the only one who can set a goal to go towards the positive. Thats one thing that I use with a little time to help pull me out of it.
It's becoming hard for me to trust anyone anymore and I never used to be that way.
I guess when you get dumped on once to many times you get gun shy so to speak.
It's no fun putting your heart out there and having it stomped on.
I have a man friends who I met online and in person and he's the sweetest guy. He was married before and his wife cheated on him so neither of us are looking for a love relationship but have become very good friends.
I don't really have any suggestions for you cause I don't like to give it and then have someone blame me because they took my advice and things didn't work out between them and the other person.
But I will say do what's right for you. Really only you can make that choice about whether to continue to have contact with that person or not.

it really isnt a matter of "who to trust", but more of learning to trust yourself before you can trust another. yes it is true that there are many out there who will prey on the insecurities of others for some silly and childish goal... from both genders. some of these people are quite cruel in their methods and hide who they really are quite well. it is a shame, but a fact of life. anyone who tells you that you should not express your emotions are probably not a good bet. anyone who truly cares for you will be understanding and be there to hold you and listen to those feelings. if they cant be there to hold you... just to listen and offer support and comfort. we have all endured the losers in society, they are out there, and thye never stop looking for anew victim. a friend once told me this... we must suffer the losers in life in order to find the one we were really meant to be with. they serve a purpose if for no other reason then to teach us of what it is we dont want, and help us to learn within ourselves who we are and who it is we really need. when the day comes that we have learned the things were were meant to learn, and prepare us for the one we are meant for... that person will come along and both will know a happiness that many dream of, but few ever find.
i dont know if that helps... but is sounded like good wisdom to me :).
