Good afternoon everyone! As I mentioned earlier in a previous post, I have been single for nearly 2 years, coming out of 5-year relationship. I was NEVER one for online dating but a friend of mine met someone real cool off of one. Even my sister met a nice guy so I was like, what the heck! i'll give it a shot. Well I joined this online dating site and quickly got the attention of a man who calls himself Skywalker. We started engaging in conversation and it would go on for the next couple of weeks. Well one day he told me that he was developing feelings for me and I was like "already?". One evening at 9:45pm he sent me a message saying that he was thinking about me. The next day he sent me a message saying that before we go any farther, he needed to tell me something and that it wasn't good. Now before I go on let me just say that I too was kinda feeling him. I don't know, it was something about the conversations we were having. Okay so he gives me his numbe and asked me to call him when I was ready to hear what it was he had to tell me. Well on my lunch break one day, i called him and he preceded to tell me that he has been living with a woman for the past 11 years and that she is a lesbian who may have contracted Herpes from her partner. Well of course that threw me for a loop and I simply told him that he needs to not go any further with me and to just focus on that situation because he told me that he wants to leave her. he deleted his profile after I spoke to him saying, " I can't do this anymore". Now he said on his profile that he was 45 but he looked like a stressed out 55 year old. I feel bad for him but Lord knows I don't need drama like that. I think I am going to leave this online dating thing alone. Do you do online dating and if so, have you met someone special? Please share. God bless! : )

No back when I was young there was pen pal writing and that was bad enough. You get all into the dreaming part of how you finally met someone who shares your goals, dreams, desires, then you get a picture. Ok you tell yourself, especially, women, I can deal with this but then you find out more interesting stuff. I think I have done alot before I got married and after 17 years of being with my husband I would just say try to meet men through a church, school event, community gathering, etc. You will always find wierd men but that is when you have to tell yourself to wait and observe. Oh I forgot about school, maybe go take a class at college? I think you did the right thing in saying you didn't need the drama. Believe me I don't envy those people who always find people because you will soon discover they have issues they deal with because they wanted the drama. I know several ladies who met good men but through work, church, community events. You know as well as I do any relationship will have issues but you don't need the drama or to have your life jeopardized...
