No offense intended, but honestly there were probably other clues before you met in person. The younger we are the harder it is for us to pick up on those things she may have said in all your phone conversations that would have clued those of us who are a little older (and therefore have a little more life experience) in that something wasn't right. I know that sounds condescending and I'm sorry for that.

People lie and some people are really good at it. But really most people aren't that great at it or the lie they're trying to cover is just too hard and there are clues. Profiles CAN tell you at least a little about a person. We've all decided we weren't a match with someone just based on their profile. It's not the ultimate factor and I'm not saying tons of information can be gleaned from it but ultimately it's NOT meaningless. Even the one line profiles tell me something.

Ever hear the saying if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck its probably a moth$r fricken duck . Why even ask why even torture yourself consider yourself lucky and count your blessing. Phyco freaky jailbait man you are blessed keep it that way. Learn to read between the lines and keep track of what you talk about liars generally can't keep things straight for long there were probably several inconsistencies that came up while you were talking to her. Often we tend to overlook these things when were engaged in romance but if you looked back I bet you would have noticed more than a few warning signs.

the mistake people do the most w/online dating is not meeting in a reasonable time

I agree. Get to the meeting as quickly as possible.

I would have bailed and gotten the hell out of there toward the beginning. A girl with that much history and trouble at 16 only leads to more trouble.

That said, my profile is pretty much who I am. I'm a goofball, I poke fun at life, I'll say and do nearly anything to get a reaction from people. This might cause some women to run for the hills as soon as they glance at my profile, but I'd rather have that happen than we waste our time going nowhere.
