Met ex-fiance online went from San Diego surf shack to Kansas.

That's what I try to tell them, but....!

It wouldn't be so bad if they would just be honest from Day One -- but they never do that. They pretend that they want the same things, the same kind of relationship, I want -- and then they lower the boom once they think they're comfortably "in" --

But it doesn't work anymore, because I can always see it coming. Because it's always coming.

Met few people online. Mostly friendships, one was a relationship which lasted 6 months. Now I am back. :(

Had one 2 month relationship and one 6 month relationship since I've been here. Pretty sure I'm done with LDR's. It's just too hard to get to know someone when you live far away. By the time you spend any significant period of time with them, it's late into the relationship.

Mostly I get approached by scammers and guys who wanna cyber "whatever". Or just get laid.

However, I've made friends here that I'm very close with and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

The 'Next EX' might be here too, so take your time, and your chances.

Gotta be careful and use common sense of course. There are scammers and other people lurking about.

It's hit and miss. I enjoy talking with some people. Mostly, I've gotten, "lol" or a few ".." as replies, which makes me wonder... I'm ok with not receiving a reply.

IMO, LDRs are fine if you have known the person in real life (as in someone who has moved away) or will meet soon. If it's only internet/online, I think it's a fantasy otherwise and not worth bothering with. It needs to have some grounding in physical reality and time spent together. A photo is worth a thousand words, meeting that person is a million, and knowing a person's mind is priceless. It should move from LDR to a regular relationship if it's meant to be. That itself is a sign of commitment.

just those women from Ghana

We met online. Met in person within a week or so. Dated for months. Got engaged and lived together for nearly a year. Got married. Altogether 8 yrs. Now divorced for almost 4.

so now you're looking for your next X ??

LOL!
That's not very promising then as I am not looking for another "ex" :p

Hardly :/

the male scammers are now pretending to be military guys. They even have someone writing their profiles for them so they look better. But the approach is the same. "I want to know you more and more. Can we chat on yahoo?"

actually I have yet to be hit on by a scammer on this site

Maybe you look too smart to fall for it. Which doesn't say much for me.

I doubt that...maybe too old
you look smart enough to have a good job that's why they hit on you

let me guess...and they all have profile pics of their chest and abs and no face...

Maybe I'll change my occupation to "gold digger".

No, but they are kinda blurry.

that might work
