stooie1971: Before the internet how would you meet someone?
CS is a means of allowing males and females to sort the wheat from the chaff!!!!!!
Even if you meet someone online how do you know that they're not feeding you a bunch of bull and they're who they say they really and truly are until you meet them in person. Then they can turn out to a real nutcase.
I met someone on here on the site afew weeks ago and he turned out to be very controling person and was trying to tell me how my looks were going to fade away someday etc. He also wanted to meet me in person but I declined after I explained to him that my refusual to meet him was based on how he had treated people on the forums. I felt I couldn't trust him.He was way too moody a good share of the time.I didn't wish to deal with someone like that.
And after hearing/reading about how he had treated other women on this site I chose to break off ALL contact with him completely.

Sometimes I wonder which is worse:
- Talking on this site and letting others know we are all nutcases. Sometimes I try to joke around, just to make the threads more interesting... but others may see it otherwise.
- Actually meeting the person and finding out that they are faaaar from what we expected. Or maybe they turn out to be the right person. But then again, most people online are so far away I am sure we would never meet.
Sometimes we really cannot tell who the person is by the way they act online.

What I forgot to mention was I also had phone contact with this person several times and he was the very same he was online. He'd be nice one minute and then do a complete 180 degree turn the next.
The mood swings were to much for me to handle even during our phone conversations.He's called me at 5:am in the morning acouple times and wake me out of a sound sleep. Plus he usually wanted me to call him. I always thought the guy calls the woman most of the time not the other way around.
I once received an email from someone who told me to connect by hotmail. When I did the person did not even remember who I was. Talk about embarrassment She wanted to find out how I got her email address and was giving me S**t. Then she could not remember which site she had seen me on, because she apparently was on so many. After an email fight for about five minutes, she asked me to hold until she came back. I logged off.
Whew! I am sure glad I am not married to her.
That's why I'm so scared to date anyone right now. I don't rust anyone. I don't like feeling this way but nowadays you can't be to careful.
I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life then go though a lot of crap.
I was nervous on my first date with someone I met here but it turned out to be fun and easy and I felt very safe. It is not always that way but the three dates I have had I have enjoyed their company and have three new friends no matter where the relationship goes. Just be yourself.

You made the right decision............. but before the online chat's, threads, emails and SMS....
No-one male or female had the chance to... let's say vett.... potential suitors.... it was a game of chance..
with this medium CS.... you get the chance to chat etc, etc.... you can see how people handle themselves in the written sense... and can gauge and sort....
JMHO.............. I know from personal experience that I have not conducted myself in the best light on here in the past.... and I have suffered for it
