We had been *speaking* on-line for MONTHSS.. BUTTTT.. only a few times one the phone.
I HAD *made plans* with him.. and I flew to Chicago (tho he was a Brit) to meet him..
and the split SECOND I clapped eyes on him at the airport. I knew I had made a huuuge mistake. (I don't mean looks)..
He was FILTHY... not work dirty.. like filthy stinky DURTY.
His house was a DUMP... mess and crap everywhere.. he had known for MONTHS I was coming.. and he couldn't even pick up the 50 (I kid you not!) crushed Malboro packs (and tissues!! Eww) off the floor around his Pc.
He ALSO had BIG blown up pictures of me all strewn over his bed. (Yeeeash)
He was TOTALLY different to how he had come across on all those months.. seeing him walk talk and move.. was soooo *wrong*... not at ALL what I had *Imagined* him to be. He was Staggeringly in debt (which He didn't tell me about).. and his utilities were being cut off one by one while I was there. (SO *I* was paying them) He didn't even have ANYTHING to feed his dog.
But I really do think... that part of the KEY to that mistake was NOT spending more time with him on the phone.. I'm sure I would have backed out waaaaaaaayy sooner.
Anyhooo.. that's what happened to me.
I am farrrr more suspicious of meeting a potential 'Partner' on-line now. I even background and criminal records check them. As well as everything else I can find out to make sure they are being honest with me.
