Sorry you got played. Not a lot of fun.

It happens to women too. Guy plays the romantic gentleman and then when you call their bluff they evaporate like water on a hot car. Some even have fake pictures they send and addresses but when you look them up they are never there or have any of a million excuses. Most are married or divorced and think because they have employers or enough resources of their own to pay for cell phones, accompanied travel, and sometimes even alternate addresses that they can woo women into relationships that will go no where.

Too bad since you get burned it makes you question wheather it is even worth the effort.

Just kidding with him. Hey we've ALL been hurt but how can you let a total stranger bring you down? If yer gonna do online dating you best tuffen up. ALOT. I had a guy in England who chatted with me and wanted to wire me 12,000 dollars to get a place for him to move into so he could come and be closer to me. I COULD HAVE been a beeyotch and taken it but I told him never offer any woman money over the web.

See? We ain't ALL bad!

There's all kinds out there. Since I don't come here to get dates, I don't get emotionally vested. If I were to get to know someone and then meet them in person a few times, only then would I consider getting emotionally vested.

You're not the first. Hang in there. Be cautious. And as Reagan used to say..... "Trust but verify" lol.

Well that was a rude introduction....you do have options...your phone company can trace her calls...and put a block on her contacting you....under the privacy acts most of our countries have, they won't give you her number, but can find hers.

Make a complaint as to obscene calls...as many of the times and dates you can remember, and then pass it on to your phone company.

Truth is, she was bored, played you, and has moved on....chances of her ringing you again are pretty slim.

What have you learnt from your experiences?

Perhaps be more discerning...and even if you can afford it, buy a cheap cell phone, which is the only number you give a stranger....ie; someone you are communicating with on the net, you do not know.

It's a hard lesson, however there are genuine people around, same as anywhere in life, there are shysters, and there are real people, it's learning to spot the differences.

I am learning as I go on these sites,what is the general rule on being widowed. I was told not to put in down, it is the reason I don't get any emails. HUH how can the truth and a fact of my life (a huge one) not be important?
Thanks to everyone for their positive response's!
These cyber rookies are a PIA!!!!haha

I don't think marking 'widowed' would disuade me from contacting someone. I have chuckled at those who put it in their profile write-up in way that seems humorous to me. "I'm recently widowed and ready to find someone to party with". I've actually seen something similar to that. Anyhow, I would just not dwell on it or discuss it unless they ask. You don't want to give the impression that you haven't moved on.

Lots of good people here. You just have to weed through!

Wow! I can't imagine why that would make a difference
