internet dating - uh huh. Posted: 7/5/2006 9:36:35 PM
Some of us aren't on the internet looking for a date, but find those who are looking for dates to be interesting people to discuss things with - this is why I am here, and I have time to do as I wish without being addicted to the internet as someone suggested previously, simply because I am borrowing the use of my friend's computer. Speaking of that friend, he is also the original poster of this thread, and would be delighted to join back in on the forums, but he can't, because he (and I saw what he wrote, because he saved it) joined into a thread about some new rules here that a bunch of users found quite disturbing, and he got banned from the forums. Ready for this....he got banned for 3+ years !!!! (Personally, I think maybe a month would have been sufficient to get a point across.) Since I have asked his permission, and gotten his consent to tell, the rest of what posters have asked about since he is off the forums goes like this: He did also meet a dozen or more women since the stories he shared here, and found that either they had too little in common to try being a couple, or that many of the women were also some kind of psych cases/addicts/etc. He did learn from his experiences to be more careful, and has remained single despite some short times of just dating on and off a few times. We have known one another for a while, and as a friend I can only say that he is a great friend, and someone whom I feel I can trust completely. I would not call him insane as someone did here because in my opinion that is not correct, and at the same time I cannot explain why he attracted so many really nutty women, one after the other for so long - and then poof, no more. I have met a couple of the women he mentioned here, and even spent some time with him when he was dating the one who said she didn't want a commitment. She was very lovely, very openly affectionate with him and was sending all sorts of mixed messages, I think because she was afraid to get closer with anyone. They have had some emails since they broke up and she met another guy, told him the same story, and then they bought a house together and got married. I can't begin to guess what her thing was, but that's the story as I know it. I do think there is more craziness in the world today than at any other time of my life though, so it doesn't surprise me when men and women say they are meeting really crazy people, or that it looks like it is so hard to meet anyone who isn't a bit "off" these days, it does make me sad to see this condition happening.
