Is it just me, or have others noticed, that there seem to be many people around who latch on to your hobbies, interests etc. and tell you they have almost identical interests?
The conversations or correspondence regarding this can go on for months, or longer, but they are just dragging you in to their web and may turn out that they have no – or little – knowledge of your interests whatsoever other than what they gain from you, but are just using the subject as a bait to suck you in.
This must not necessarily be for financial interest, but just to gain power and control over yourself - and possibly others at the same time – up to the point that they are exposed as empty shells.
Apart from all the modern technology (texting, skyping, FB etc...), when we only had telephones, people used to call each other..... or. write. Now, the skill of writing and sending a letter to a loved one seems to have disappeared!
As for phone calls... most people prefer to send texts and have lengthy conversations on whatsapp, rather than pick up the phone (free of charge!) and talk in person.
Unfortunately, Many misunderstandings arise due to the lack of communication
However, we need to exchange a few messages first to see if we are on the same wavelength, then a few phone calls, as the voice is important! Then, some skype contact is equally important as well as a good sense of humour, otherwise, it´s just a waste of time.
For me, a connection can be made at first contact, as I am attracted by the personality and the written word, followed by the voice.
At first, people are all enthusiastic about knowing each other, with the idea of a potential meet up and, who knows, maybe something deeper but...
After a period of "temporary madness", when things have calmed down, they begin to get boring and people just get tired of each other and the meet never take place.
Unless people have already met up close and personal and a connection has already been made, then the distance should not matter. Sometimes absence makes the hearts grow fonder.
Yes I have on a few occasions when I notice that the man has viewed my profile several times and he happens to live in the same country.
Today..for example...there's a guy who lives in the same town and has viewed my profile endless times!! So I suggested we meet for a drink and he accepted!
I suppose he was just too shy to ask? Or...he felt intimidated?

Games That People Play...
Hi KayI wasn´t specifically referring to scammers but some ordinary people who like to play around on dating sites.
I suppose they are just players, hey?
