Posted: 7/6/2009 11:42:56 AM | Nikko,
I think that it is best to let it go. I have had similiar experiences from this site and realize that it is not good to take it personally. This is just a dating site. And after meeting this girl, you may not have really liked her in person and had zero chemistry. Just because you like someone on the phone/internet, you may not like them after meeting them.
People on this site generally are not really upfront and honest about their true intentions and background. Hopefully you may meet someone off this site who is really who they say they are and maybe it would work out for you.
Anyway, try to take it lightly so you don't hurt in the future. You are a sweet guy:) Good luck to you. | |

After 3 months I put up a profile here. I was talking to this girl she seems really amazing. Well when it came time to take it to the next level, I freaked out and vanished. I wasn't ready to move on. Me being so stupid, I went ahead and wiped the profile. I guess I just wasn't ready to move past the ex at that time.
Some people do some crazy things. Though I still think I'd be ticked off too if I was the original poster. | |

But considering she didn't even get in contact with you or at least give you and explanation, my guess is she is probably a fraud. And not worth your time even to worry about. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 3:34:53 PM | What happened was unfortunate but like many have said I agree, I wouldn't have waited so long for the meet. When you start to click with someone online I think it's best to meet right away to see if it is there in person, that way there are no misgivings. As you get to know one another online or through the phone or text you tend to be more laxed as that person isn't in front of you and you can't see their reactions. So for some they tend to open up more freely or for others, they feed on you and use it to victimize you.
Either way don't wait so long next time. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 8:58:45 PM | | Be happy it happened before your heart got to envolved. I met a guy on her several months back. We met and hit it off immediatly we dated for about three months and was talking about possibly getting a place together in nov and building a life together. He went on a trip for the weekend to visit family in another state and that saturday i got a call from a woman who claimed to be his fiance and when i was speechless she woke him up to talk to me go figure he hung up on me. Left a lot of empty promises along with lots of hurt and anger. I had not opened up to someone in that way in yrs and it felt good. All I can say is it is his loss. Hold your head up and know you deserve and will find better! I hold on to that faith even on the toughest days :-) | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 9:03:20 PM | Sorry to hear that happened to you so fast, Nikko. I have been on here quite a while, and just as the world is diverse, so it is here too. My guess is that either she had something to hide (something she faked) or she didn't feel worthy of you. So save it for the one who is and knows it and don't give up. I have had a few strange experiences on here, and also met some great folks. As for meeting, I think it depends on the person. The first response I ever got (not on this site) online took us 4 yrs to meet and we are still great friends and who knows? I do think it's best if you meet early though, before too many emotions come into play. I wish you much luck here, and assure you there are some great people on here, so keep your chin up, and happy fishing!  | |
