Maybe he got caught. You lucked out because he's gone.

I don't know how to deal with it, either. It's happened a couple of times, or when we finally have met, the connection or chemistry isn't there afterall.
Maybe the man THOUGHT he wanted a relationship and then realized further in that he wasn't ready, but it sure would have been nice if he had communicated it with you.

About the best advice I can give you is when you first start talking with a guy, have the "I don't care" attitude. Meaning, have the attitude that you really don't care if you hit it off or not because that will save you from having any kind of misleading emotions. If, after a couple of weeks of conversation, and things are still going great,then maybe you can change your attitude a little bit. It'll prevent alot of heartache in the end.

That's typical of dating sites in general -- you're going to run into phonies -- doesn't mean everyone is like that, though; although I have yet to run into one who isn't....

I stopped looking here. Just talked to people as friends. That's when it happened. Don't talk to anyone with any expectations. flowerforyou

Well, I've met 9 people from dating sites -- 8 were totally dishonest (one was an arsonist, one was a phony bank teller, one was a newspaper columnist who wanted me to write her column for her -- uncredited, and unpaid, of course!) and the ninth was, shall we say, "deceptively inconsistent," for lack of a truly vague enough term to keep me out of trouble....

I think it's highly unlikely I would ever be able to trust anyone from a dating site enough to even attempt a real-life meeting, at this point -- but I always allow for the possibility of an exception....

ok, I gotta "share"

Met 2, all were what they said they were,,even looked like their pics,,,

I may be cheap,,but I ain't easy,,,

It took me a while before I would agree to meet. For me, its all about, "can I hang out with this person for an hour". No expectations, no disapointments.

I think it can be done,,but you gotta let go of the negativity and naitivity

JMHO

It has happened to everyone on here... or at least will happen. The problem is that some people don't consider talking to someone online as "dating" or even "future dating". It's just chatting. So if you treat it as such, you won't get so disappointed when this happens again.

I am guilty of the same; wearing your heart on your sleeve! The only way sometimes, is to put yourself out there. Easier to fall, but, eventually, easier to stand up; as long as you DO get up!
