Thank you for the advice on this...i wont give up.

LOL yes having that on profile will definitely help keep thast from happening again ty for the input and the idea

So... i was contacted by a person who seemed legit,,,was pleasant to talk with and that i opened my heart to...exchanged several long emails telling about myself over the course of a week or so.

Then it came....please send 500$ by western union to some place in Nairobi,Kenya.

If you look at my profile you can tell im an open person that wears his heart on his sleeve....

Would it be too much to ask anyone who contacts me to go on webcam? i dont mean right away but if more than a few emails are exchanged and things are going well,would it not be ok for me to ask this?....it would at least let me know that im talking to the person who is represented in a profile.

Or alter my profile so im not giving too much of myself out too fast?

no...i didnt send 500$ LOL!!

Well! um Thank you again! i have a saying "im just me"..same idea as what you have Iamwhoiam :)

Oh i am working on a pic....i have one from a webcam but its not very good kind of fuzzy but i will have one up in the next couple of days.

And TY for caring about the spider :)

LOL! by all means if i can get her shes an elderly lady who lives with her husband in the same apt building im in...her name is Vickie...and another as well...i literally did put myself between her and the spider :)

good lord...there are so many new aspects to dating nowadays... a lot of new terminology to get used to and some things i totally dont understand.....All i know is that ive been alone for about 8 years and its time i started looking for that someone special...ive put up a profile..no pic yet....but damn!...I feel like a complete virgin LOL! I seriously want to meet someone...but a bit fearful of whats out there....im not afraid of rejection...im more afraid of someone saying yes!......any helpful hints?

Im completely new to all of this...i would like to know if my profile says too much..not enough.....changes that might be good...Yes i know about a picture...yes i will get one up....i just want to know if what i have on it now is good bad or other?
