Longing For Love

Tweet

I was lonely, went online and joined a dating site, perhaps I'd find a man that way who'd be my Mr Right. I met a U.S. businessman who travels far abroad, we have so much in common, he really strikes a chord. I asked him what he looked like, he sent a gorgeous pic so debonair and handsome with hair so dark and thick. Chatting on the internet for hours every day we knew we loved each other, a love that's here to stay. He said he'd come to see me, things were progressing fast he even talked of marriage - Oh joy! a bride at last. I waited at the airport, alas he never came, then I got a call from him, said muggers were to blame. They'd robbed him at the roadside and left him black and blue took his cash and credit cards, his airplane ticket too. He said " I'm stranded here in China, I'm not sure what to do I don't know how I'll manage - at least I still have you. But sad to say my darling, I can't now come to stay I'm sick with disappointment - but wait - there is a way. Perhaps if you would lend me some cash to cover costs I'd buy another ticket and all will not be lost. I'm covered by insurance so when my claim comes through you'll get all your money back, I'll send it straight to you". I was dismayed and worried, my poor sweet loving man, no question that I'd help him and so we made a plan. When he'd received the money he'd get the first plane out and soon we'd be together of that I had no doubt. I wired him what he needed I did it in a trice I even sent him extra, no need for thinking twice. But now I'm really worried, this man who fills my dreams perhaps is ill or injured - he's vanished now it seems. ---------------------- I know now I've been stupid, he's scammed me it appears, I am ashamed and broken, alone now with my tears. ---------- This is fiction, I was just trying to get inside the heads of the gullible women who fall for this sort of thing.
