Sorry this happened to you but don't take ownership in it like it's something that you're now bound to have happen. Stop dating crackheads LOL | |

Posted: 8/9/2009 11:06:58 AM | | OP, sorry about my first post. You made some mistakes because of your age. Some saying is: 30s of women are eager of sex like wolves, and 40s are like tigers...LOL! Hope you won't make one more. Good luck! | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 3:48:58 PM | | For the fist few dates, I ALWAYS insist on meeting for lunch, and here's why. Lunch happens in the daylight. It happens in a public place with plenty of people around. I made the mistake of picking a fishy up her at her home for a first date. We went to the Easyrider motorcycle show at vets memorial. So I went to her house , picked her up and it was off to the show (she was thin but had HUGE boobs). After the show, we went to Emilio's Pizza (best pie in town). When we got back to her house she asked me if I'd like to come in and since it was early I said sure. We were sitting on her couch talking. She aid you wanna something cool? I said sure. She walked over to this device and turned it on. It was an electric decorative fire place and yes, it was very cool. She said she had another upstairs and would I like to see it and I said sure. She lived in a very large house and I was thinking maybe she turned a bedroom into a den or library. Nope. It was in her bedroom. She motioned for me to set on the edge of the bed and I did. She turned on the fireplace and what happened next dumbfounded me. She took off her top, pulled her bra up and pushed me onto my back, straddled me and started beating me in the face with those huge cans. Needless to say, no second date. | |

Never have I ever experienced anyone steel from me. That is just pathetic. Did the dude have a job? And was this your first date?? If so why in Gawds name would you bring a stranger to your home on a first meet??
Anyways NEVER use the judgment on someone else's actions to judge others intentions... EVERYONE is different. You seriously however have to re-evaluate all that happened and learn from the experience so that you don't fall prey to another FKN A - HOLE..... UGH  | |

Posted: 8/11/2009 1:56:33 AM | OP.....i am pretty sure there are quite a few people here who've done the ol' exchanging emails/talk on the phone thing and have concluded that 'Wow! What a really great person this is!' and felt comfy with that person having spent X amount of time communicating. Some a**hats can be real slick with their words...great performers. Sounds like you unfortunately met one of them!
But as to your question:
Is this happening to other women out there? . Nope it hasnt. Even the ones ive felt really good about (both here and another site), ive never taken my dates home that early on in the game.
Im sure after your horrible experience....you'll wait a few dates before allowing them into your home. | |

Posted: 8/11/2009 2:26:32 AM | | Not everybody will steal from you, how ever you are right about the general standards of everyone, i can't believe how so many people can just constantly say "i don't care" to everything. there are alot of bad people out there and all there cases are different, i think trying to find someone decent is like trying to find a lottery ticket to pay out a decent prize. I think you should probably test them, leave your purse out with a few notes inside, make sure you count it, if anything goes missing you will know they are dishonest, not a sure way of telling but might help save some money. | |

Posted: 8/11/2009 2:53:09 AM | Sorry to hear it happened to you OP. You aren't alone as many others have written. It's not always a first date/meeting when it happens either! Even us guys have it happen and sometimes without ever letting them into our homes!
My all time favorite is the girl I met (from here) who I picked up and drove to Starbucks as her car was "broken" at the time. This woman, on deciding we weren't that much of a match, excused herself to use the ladies and just dissapeared. It turns out she went outside and stole my toll change (about twenty bucks) from the car before vanishing for good! My fault for not locking and letting her see where it could be found - but so funny that anyone could be that desperate!
Do I need to run the plates of every man I meet from here on in to see if his word is worth anything? Or is the quality and moral values on this site going downhill so fast I should leave while I still have my bankcard in my possession?
My advice to all the ladies who don't already do it is to get a full name and go down to the local courthouse and at least do a local search for wants and warrants. Most counties I know of have either a free or inexpensive way to do this. But you do have to go down there.
Not sure about north of the border but if something like that is available - definitely take advantage of it.
Cheers  | |

Ok - ladies and gentlemen - this is a first thread post for me, and oh how I wish it was for something positive. Unfortunately, it is not.
I met up with an individual from this site who felt quite comfortable stealing every bit of cash I had in my purse. Furthermore, he then depleated my laundry funds of multiple quarters and loonies to zero before leaving my home.
Do I need to run the plates of every man I meet from here on in to see if his word is worth anything? Or is the quality and moral values on this site going downhill so fast I should leave while I still have my bankcard in my possession?
Is this happening to other women out there? Hello?
I've read all four pages of this thread, and many point out it's ill-advised to meet for the first time at one's home. While I must agree with this advice, I fail to see ANYWHERE in her OP that this was the first meeting.
As far as the OP's supposed
Consultant/Teacher PhD/Post Doctoral degrees, one would think someone with such a refined (and no doubt expensive) education would know how to spell
rollor coasters and
depleated .
If she IS indeed a teacher, I'm very grateful she's plying her trade in another province.

Posted: 8/11/2009 10:45:27 AM | I'm sorry to hear about this too. It sounds like you knew this guy and had a few dates so it wasnt someone "brand new". I guess you can just tuck this into the catagory of "lesson learned".
Sometimes we just have no idea. Hindsight can be so clear after the fact.
I hope you still feel safe and I know you will find better guys to date. | |
