My story of online dating is very dumb and it caused me some heartache because I lost a lot of cash and still ended up with no love of my life. As a lonely guy and wanting to be a cheerful giver, I ended up giving money to a stranger who kept on sending me flirtatious messages while I was lonely. It's like I was paying for only an expensive service underneath the table and never ending up with anyone. Nothing really changed during those depressing months, so I ended up doing the hardest thing ever which was blowing off the person. It happened to me twice and then on the third time I said something like thanks for the free messaging service and it was a lot of fun. On the third time, I never heard back from the person again. I don't even know if it was the same person pretending to be someone else each time. It just sickens me to be vulnerable to these scammers who are only in it for the money. If the money goes away, they will stop bugging because there's no point for them to continue working for it. In the end, there really was no love and they were so smart because if I ever felt like blowing them off sooner, they were trying to make it look like it's all my fault. It was a very abusive chain of emotions and I just couldn't deal with it anymore so I bailed and now I've recovered after feeling like a victim to it. It's basically all my fault and I lost a lot of money, but now I'm slowly gaining all of it back again and have experience to not repeat the same mistakes again. It even took me twice to learn because I forgot about it the first time.
Lately, I've been looking up online reviews whenever I feel tempted about giving into something. There have been people who receive the same scam like a lot of people have received these strange automated voice messages about the IRS trying to send us to prison because we have tax issues. I don't pick up calls anymore with numbers I don't know now because I'm just too nice. There was at one point though I picked up a call while someone said something and then I just hung up too not too long ago.
I met a legitimate lady who was really interested in me from Craigslist out of all places. She was really in it for a booty call but I ended up rebuffing her. She has tried to chase me, but I felt so uncomfortable about her personality and life-style. She appeared to be a sex addict and much more crazier than I am about viewing porn, but she wasn't hot to me so I never felt like I was in the mood for it. She was really into me and she ended up stealing a kiss out of me. She wanted to make out after, and I was like no thank you. I dropped her off and that was it. I even met a sweet Vietnamese girl on there and she was great but she was a single mom and I felt uneasy about it while some people felt we were a couple too but looked so alike and maybe claiming incest I guess.
Craigslist out of all places is a very embarrassing to meet up people for dates and so they ended their reign of free dating ads in recent times which was always infiltrated by scammers. I even left a fake ad about how I had a lot of money and wasn't giving it away and so handsome and wanted ladies to message me. Only one angry lady ended up replying and was a scammer of all people.
These days I'm advancing in my methods of how I use the Internet to meet ladies I'm interested in. Mainly, I'm looking for the ones I'm physically attracted to and then just trying to say hi to them in person and go from there. I don't really mind anymore if they are not interested in me; the process of going for it has been fun. So far, I have met one attractive Vietnamese lady who I think might be great for me since she loves hiking and camping. I felt sort of a connection and interest like I wanted to be acquainted more with her later on. I told her that and she said "Yeah!"
