I don't think you did anything wrong. I am curious as why you didn't just ask your daughter about the spelling though.
It also makes me curious about the re-action for the friendship request and the melodramatics even going as far as possible "stalking?".
It might have been better to wait and actually meet the person in question. If things are so right and he's so different, why the panic about a FB friend request? Maybe there are some things missing to be seen....all the way around.
I haven't had a woman around for a very long time. I honestly don't see that changing any time soon.
I will be entering 2014 with other normalcies associated with adulthood.
One thing not so normal. My utter and complete contempt for the U.S. misadministrations, seemingly, in charge. This alone could keep me single even longer still.
As far as hypocrisy that so many like you claim....there is none in standing up.
I've known more than few agnostics and athiests..etc. Worked with some side by side helping others. We didn't complain. We helped where we could with what we could.
Lots of christians and non-christian groups do the same as far as trying to help others. ALL have one thing in common: they are at the mercies of donations and contributions by supporters.
If it bothers you so much; there are lots of groups you could join to help. Other wise, you have no grounds for your claims. Poor and war strickened communities were around before any type of religion and would still be around even if there wasn't any type of religion. People do what they can for many inclined to do so, and it doesn't have to do anything with faith. There are lots of things people can do to help including joining one the many humanitarian groups that exist if it truly bothers them so much. Man up or shut up.
Well luchi...what you don't realize is that while you complain about what others are going through in some of those other nations and countries, millions of churches and the people that attend them spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in aid to those same people.
That is the difference of a bser with half a witt on a rant and people that actually try to help.
It's your free will to choose what you do or don't believe. If your so "tolerant" and have all of this "great" understanding of things, why bother being derogatory to others?
You said you have either said or are willing to say to him, everything stated here.
You didn't need our "opinions". You need to follow your own views and advice. Step up and tell him exactly what you see and what it does to you.
You've stated that things go back to the same when you're with someone else and then allow him to weasel back in.
It's time for the merry-go-round to stop. State your full case and walk if he shows one single time that's he's not sincere like he already has been. It doesn't seem like an occasional slip up or lack of thought. He may not be ready for a full commitment and it could be worse if forced into one.
I don't wonder about these things. My ex is on her 3rd person in 4-5 years. This current one twice now. Looks can be deceiving and most will only see what's in public. Many embark because of a need instead of want. If they feel their "needs" aren't met, they move on.
New or part time will always seem happy, fun, loving...etc. It's only the long term that show the true character and nature. Many may talk about it, speak it, maybe even portray it. I find in these times, most take for granted what "together" means and often may not understand or mean what they.
I have heard it said many times by people in various circles of conversation, when they talk about the prospects with their potential other: " there's always divorce". That's not a good sign of any thing solid.
With that modern day mind set, it makes it hard to trust or bother on many levels. A significant other should always be a want and not a need. A relationship should not be a compromise or a settlement. If things grow and flourish, it should be a partnership and it's work no matter what. Ups, downs, happy , sad, and every thing in between. Communication can go a long way. The variables in the long run will always take two. It's a given fact that they won't always agree but if committed will be able to work through a lot and more.
When I did or on rare occasion do, it depends absolutely on the profile first. There are always key words that I already know, would be a waste of our time no matter what.
Photos don't tell all by any means. They can give a generalization but do not make the person regardless of perception that the eye might lead the mind to insinuate. They do help a lot. Pleasing to eye can automatically boost favorable odds.
I don't adhere to first impression rules much either. There can just be too many variables as far as individuality goes. The person may not be right for you on a personal note but that doesn't make them bad. It doesn't mean they can't become a friend or good acquaintance.
For the ones that truly are bad, you don't have to keep them around any way. Scammers usually stand out. I'm not so worried there.
I used to literally live by this, to a degree: "If I judged every book by it's cover; there are a lot of good books I might not have read."
I've been online for roughly 4-5 years. I still prefer real life to virtual. In fact, I've never dated any one from online. As I think about this, I truly may not have time for any thing or any one but real life.
Life shouldn't be put on hold. It works better if things are mostly in order though.
Every one is different. Some do okay with the past being around and some don't.
Etiquette and respect take precedence over standards and trust. Standards and trust are almost automatic with the first two. As long as there are no children or any type of joint debt involved, an ex is just that. That doesn't mean being rude to each other or any thing of the sort. It just means they are going to go forward with their lives the same as I do with mine.
I don't see a point in having the past around on either side. It may not bode well for either of us with significant others. Occasionally we will see each other around, maybe even with a partner. Common courtesies all around, but there's no reason to have an environment that could create doubt and infringe on trust: Etiquette. The respect is to not put your partner in a position or maintain situations that could cause deep questioning or worse to begin with.
If you get along with your past partner(s) that well that you frequently visit and/or hang out..etc. Be respectful enough to include your current partner if things are going that well or even if you want things to grow. At some point, it could easily arise that you may have to make a decision to roll back somewhat on one or the other.
By not having too much of my past involved or being involved with it; I save a lot of potential trouble from the beginning.
I agree they can work. It's commitment and sincerity. More Work. A reasonable environment and circumstances may help increase the odds of success.
I disagree that they enjoy regular long term success. Part time can be fun and wonderful. Regular up close and personal could tell a different truth.
People have lives before including a significant other. Over all; I have to disagree on personal opinion. I'd rather have access and be accessible on a regular basis so that we could get to know each other fully.Odds are better for a potential merge of two lives at the least, with potentially less interruption of regularities and obligations. Even that is not a guarantee by any means. It's a lot more honest and telling though.
I would have to say it can and often does play a big role as far as age and distance.
I'm also more inclined to believe physical aspects seen through the eyes of the viewer are a major factor in the long run.
All doubts, distractions, and obstacles can be over come if that is truly what the people involved want. There can be so many variables along with individuality that there may not be a clear cut answer. The key being the individuals involved and their respective environments and circumstances.
I'm always trying to keep aware of the scammers. They always say nothing matters as long as two people love each other. They just neglect to mention their love is for what ever they can milk out of you if you're gullible enough.
Which and how ever the people involved feel most comfortable. Two people will be communicating and those two people make the decisions between them.
I don't even think it's necessary to mention public places for meetings and added safety in the beginning. I've been around online dating sites for over four years or so. It seems like common sense to most in my opinion.

Thought I was catching a remake of "The Matrix" for a few seconds there LadyDiz. 
May they be singing your favorite carol.
