I might be a bit naive
but when I did internet dating for a (short) time, and started messaging a normal seeming, bright, professional woman, I thought I was being internet-savvy by mentioning early on that I really wanted to meet, not just to send emails and have phone chats. I knew that there were people out there who just wanted the attention but were in fact married, or using photos of their prettier sister, or agarophobic, or trapped down a well, so wanted to sift out those time-wasters. Politely but firmly.

I was delighted that my new interest agreed with me. She went on to say that she'd previously got in to a rather deep relationship online before meeting the bloke in person (200 miles away), and realising she'd made a mistake. In fact, before meeting they had booked a holiday together.

Wow. Every safety rule for single women broken in one go? Impressive.

Postscript: Turns out I was naive. I carried on talking to her, thinking she might have, you know, got that one out of her system. She kicked me into touch before we actually met.

Can't really blame her.

Your story is 'I didn't meet someone once'?

Don't be cruel
that was one of my success stories.

You do realise who you're talking to, right?
