As sad as it sounds, it just wasnt meant to be. Good luck next time

You'll forgive me if I don't remember you.... ::sweet smile::

I'm gonna have to see the top of her head, to make sure.

If you just met the dude, your post doesn't make any sense in my opinion...

Same thing just happened to me. Talked for about 3 weeks on line. We actually met though and had a wonderful first date. We were actually talking on the phone to one another on the way home because neither of us wanted to go home. 3 days later.....

captain morgan the only man you can trust....

Don't foget Jose....

You barely knew this guy .. how the heck can your heart be broken? Get attached a little fast do we?

question is do we know YOUR real name

She isn't the only one. Please let us all not forget that we all have feelings. We should be supporting one another, not bashing.

Bashing? uhhhh hon that was no where near bashing. I've online dated for years .. someone needs to do the wake up call here.

It's the INTERNET .. one can't be that sensitive and fall so easily. Trust me I know.

And I DO feel for her. I think I've been around the forums enough (35,000 posts) to know when to help someone snap out of a bad road

That was a general comment, she was looking for comfort, not a "snap". I am so very proud of all your posts. Thank you for your superior insight.

Okay smartazz .. you'll do well here if you keep up that attitude.

One could say the same to you. All I was saying was that maybe we shouldn't lash out. Obviously we have different ideas of how to help her out. I haven't had the priviledge of doing the online dating thing for years, so maybe I don't think the same as you.

That's fine hon ..


I didn't see it as lashing out. It was very hard to understand her opening sentence as is, but it sounded as if she barely knew the guy.

Anyway .. I am not heartless to anyone on this site. People know me - that's not who I am.

Good luck to your relationships as well

Find things to keep you busy.

Exactly. When you form a relationship online you have to be very careful. Your mind will start to fantasize about the other person. You project a false image of who you want them to be. I believe that is why you fall in love easier.

Slow things down and become friends with men online. If they want cybersex or nude photos or they live in Africa then block them. Be open minded but don't waste your time with people who will not work out for obvious reasons, (they can't fall in love, they are not over their ex, they can't hold a conversation, they are boring, they have too many friends and don't have time for you, etc.).

It is so easy to lie on the internet. Be careful!

Take your time. Remember you have here to message, Yahoo IM, MSN, the phone, text messaging, and in person. Use each one depending on the person. Don't let them use you. Don't let yourself project. The worst that can happen is you will have a nice support web of friends built up. The best thing is you will find someone to love.

If you think you have found someone continue to do 'sanity checks' and base your relationship in reality not fantasy. I recommend meeting the person as soon as possible. If you do not know them well then do so at a public place where you feel safe. If they do not live close, then using a web cam can be helpful. G/L to you. Hang in there and never give up.

Drop me a note the next time your heart is broken!!

This is about the 14th broken heart she's had in the last 2 weeks.

My question is this..why do people fall so fast? Don't people realize that this IS the internet and anyone can be whatever they want to be on here!! I think when you do this online dating thing, you really have to slow WAY down!!
If you meet someone that strikes up your interest, go at a very slow pace. If it is something that is meant to be...it will happen. Never settle, so slow down....good things are not meant to happen over night!!!
Good luck to everyone in their search for whatever they are hoping to find
