Well lesson learned..Ask if you can have there bosses phone number,make sure to always get a home number, and if those numbers are not avaliable to you walk away, no run....Any one on line can tell you what you want to hear..But what you have to be carefull about is how much you give away of yourself until you meet that person and know them inperson...Lesson learned..

When you know that you can see the rest of your life with that person. And that they will respect you and help you get where you want to go. That you would do anything to help that person.\nLove is patient, beautiful, kind, and not self-serving.

be careful and analyze all words, then phone or cam, then just be careful, not to tell home address, you don't want every one seeing where you are. even though you might be able to trust the person interested in you, there might be hackers and pedophiles just waiting for you to say or even give a hint to your real location. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR REAL NAME AND ADDRESS, friends are good on line, but the big bad wolf is ever watching, now just be careful, and, have fun, that is what life is supposed to be, bad people make good things not fun any more.

Yes its true most of the posts are fake and just meant for dating \nyes there can be lot of exceptions i suggest few methods of screening them\n\nask there residence number and ask any of your friends or brother or cousin  to speak to there parents and let them know that you are looking for groom i guess this way you can filter non serious people\n\nTry to interact more on mail and try to get his details like where he works his office number his designation this will help you to find out whether he is single or married dont trust and dont assume any thing verify every fact thorohly there are some expert who can fake and convince girls with there charm

Well you want be losing them per say.  You can still stay in touch by phone and visit them.  It all depends on how well you know the person you are moving to be with.  If it someone that you have known a long time and feel confident that you will be happy there.  Its a big step so think things thoroughly through.  There is an old saying no risk no reward but if you know this person really well and you are sure that once you get there things between you will be good then I say go for it.  I wouldn't advise moving to be with someone you have spent little time with in person. If it is an Internet romance or even a long distance relationship schedule some vacation time in which you can go spend a relatively long time in their presence.  People have an odd way of looking perfect from a distance.  Take you time, think things through, and good luck!!

When it comes to online dating, writing an really good profile and posting really good pictures do have an impact on the number of responses or inquiries that you receive.\n\nFirst, avoid being negative in your profile. Don't use words anywhere like "I'm lonely" whether in your profile or username (i.e. "lonelyheart"). Don't talk about how you just got out of a relationship, etc. All of this is not important to the person reading your profile and is a downer that will lose you a lot of potential communication.\n\nBe descriptive. Instead of "I like to discover new things," say, "I'm a lot like Indiana Jones in that I love exploring the mysteries of life, while educating my mind to appreciate new things."\n\nSee the sources below for more tips. Good luck!

there is no way to be totally sure the best you can do is  ask for their phone number and or address, if they give them to you and they  check out....  there's a great chance they are genuine with nothing to hide-- at least romantically speaking...lol...

first of all it is hard, but what is harder is if you find the one you love does have personal profiles running! so think about that before you start digging.  I had a boyfriend that I too was wondering if he was running personals on line and so what I did was went to some different single sites and started searching them out.  most sites give you the chance to limit your search to age location smoking/non  I put in all his info and started searching.  I bet I found him at least five times.  I am no hacker and this takes time and yes it gets old. but If you have the feeling someone is running a personal and leaving you in the dark about it, chances are your right.  happy trails

It really depends on where you are meeting these people. Most "social networking" sites and general "dating" sites have a prevalance of fakes, wannabes and picture collectors - thus leading to the type of cautious behavior you are describing.\n\nSites like myspace.com, yahoo, etc. are not really designed for swingers.\n\nMy advice is to find an actual swingers site, and connect with other couples there.\n\nParticipate in discussion forums, and as an active member of the site and you will soon develop a reputation as a "Real" couple.\n\nSome sites even have a "Certification" system, where other couples and people who know you can "Certify" that you are real.

FIRST OFF\nPeeps with relationships hitting this pagr, neeed to BTFO.\nNow then.  Realise as few things hun.\n1:  Internet relationships do not just happen.  It takes time, and commucation.  I know, cause I had a 2 month long one.\n2:  Distance must NOT be a factor in your online relationship.\n3:  Take a long hard look at yourself if you are begging for a boyfriend.  If you really need one, then you have issues that need to be taken care of.  You should be independant and not need another to live with.\n4:Now i do know i should answer your question, so I have to proudly say no, but leave a counter-offer of friendship on the table.  If you assept, look for my e-mail address in my profile.  If not, best wishes.

how long have you known him? Why would you save him for last? Being around other people means that you date other people? Traces are not real love-FYI.

They may be just people he met befor you on the service and he just wants to keep in touch. Its the hardest thing in the world to imagine and to confront when your not sure, you dont want to make yourself look insecure, but obviously your feeling that somthings up and once you feel that you always be judging your own intuition.Id create a fake person on the site and try to see if he falls for the bait> if he mentions you everythings probably fine if not you better run

http://www.okcupid.com a lot of people on there are genuine but with all sites you do get some twits :)\nIf you use your instinct or ask a friend about someone you're unsure of you'll be OK, being a girl has nothing to do with telling if someone is serious or not etc, it's all about instinct. Good Luck bab :)

Sure internet relationships have earned a BAD name because of all the losers out here (all that they do is lie about themselves). But I do believe that the internet is just another place where you meet people, like you can meet someone over the weekend at a club or a pub. You do need to be careful, and take steps to screen people, to check whether they are lieing or not. The easiest way is to identify where the person lives, and if its in the same city (I assume this is your case, otherwise meeting up is not possible) you can ask around about landmarks like the restaurant or pub that you visit. It may help to BOND your relationship or it may show that the person on the other side is a fraud and taking you for a ride.\n\nAbout your case, I'm not very sure about what has gone wrong. Its possible that he's had a bad experience before or that he's just pulling your legs and possibly stays in Cyberia ! :P lol\nI would advise you to stop pressing on him and let him relax; if he's interested in you he'll come back when he's ready to meet you. Sorry that I can't be of anymore help !

Rule number 1, for some strange reason the walls of being civil just tottally fall down online. Rule 2 assume that everyone is not who they say they are, if your wanting to start dating online then REALLY get to know the person before you meet, I mean talking online and on the phone. The Internet is like a box a chocolates you never know what your gonna get. ( yeh thats cheesy so.... lol)

There is no criteria. You are either loved or not. Love doesn't hurt, and it shouldn't be planned out. Let love live, and work itself out naturally. That is the only way to know if its sincere.
