On-Line Dating

My friend goes on online dates often,,,,she was proposed marriage recently, but he needs a greencard.

gotta watch out

I met my wife on-line and we couldn't be happier. And as stated before, it's only a scam if you gave him money. Otherwise it was a crook hard at work. I'm sorry it happened, just continue to be cautious.
Remember a man who 'wants' to date, won't ask for money, just your heart. Good Luck

S.,

If you are never the same because your eyes have been opened, that's not such a bad thing...but don't let this person rob you of your future too...please!

There are scammers out there and the internet has just given them one more way to hurt people. I've heard great things about some of the on-line dating sites. Even if you decide not to go that route, I hope you will be able to trust again, when you are ready. We are all pulling for you!!!

To keep this post up, I think you have to edit to add the mandatory question.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I met my husband of 7 1/2 years on eHarmony! Good luck to you in the future!

S.:

I'm truly sorry you experienced this.

Do not let this destroy your hope for your future. Yes, there are bad apples everywhere - but please do not let the one bad apple ruin your future or even your day.

Learn from this experience but don't let it hold you back!

GOOD LUCK!!

I am sorry that you were treated that way! I hope he didn't manage to get any of your money. I met my husband 3 years ago on-line and he is the greatest man I have ever know with the exclusion of my father. Please don't let one really rotten apple spoil the whole bunch for you. I hope that you turned him into the police or at least reported him to the administrators on the web site.

IMO: You here about this all the time! I am kinda surprised when people still get scammed like this.

First, what site was it, so we can tell everyone to not use it.
So sorry this happened. :'(

One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch. We learn from our mistakes. Keep plugging away. You'll get to the right one.

At least you didn't marry a jerk (the first time) and then find the right one. :)

POST his screen name!! I know he can change it ,maybe just maybe he will be meet someone who is not as nice as you.....

First I just want to say, I met my husband online. Not all men online are scammers.

I will say, please select your online dating sites with ease and research. I met my on eHarmony, I had to pay money so did he. People are less likely to scam you if they have to fork over money first. I would never reccommend someone use a free online dating service.

Good luck!

The thing about online dating is you have to treat it the same way you would if you were going out to night clubs or such.

I met my hubby online .. we've known each other 22 years, been living together almost 21 years and have been married 19 years. We have 3 kids and so far we haven't killed each other so I figure we're doing pretty good.

You have to trust your instincts and pay attention to what people tell you ... if they are liars they sooner or later screw up. No matter what venue you use to meet people you're going to meet people who are big jerks and out to get whatever they can from ya then hit the road.

And always ALWAYS meet people for the first time in a busy public location.

Please don't think I'm unsympathic but it could have been your safety or your life. I met a guy online a few years ago and soon red flags went up all over the place. He would write me these loooooong emails about 'our life together' and I had only met him for coffee. I ended it quickly. About a month after I ended it he was arrested for stalking his ex-wife and setting fire to her house while she and their kids were sleeping in it.

I know there are good men out there but as the old adage goes you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince. When in doubt frog or prince -- figure frog. You will know your prince when you meet him.
