Author	Thread: Should I pursue this
HazelEyesSparkle View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 30 Sep, 2024 07:36 PM I got to thinking recently about wanting to get married. It is a goal of mine, especially at my age. I told my mom recently that I won't meet anybody like it won't happen for me. She said that's not true, you might meet someone. She is even saving her wedding gown and I feel so stupid for not getting married by now. There is a guy I met on here today (he is not my type at all) but he is good-looking). He said I like you and want to pursue you. He then gave me his Facebook and said I am serious in pursuing you as a gf/wife. We haven't had a conversation on getting to know each other yet. Should I see this as a red flag or keep chatting? Post Reply
Handyman62 View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 2 Oct, 2024 05:21 PM My suspicion leans more towards a scammer but I always try and make sure before I give up on the person. But then again as a male I don't have legitimate women blowing up my inbox so I try and leave no stone unturned. Post Reply
HazelEyesSparkle View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 2 Oct, 2024 09:39 PM I have to agree yes he does sound like a potential scammer. I guess my intuition was right because he blocked me which was a blessing in disguise :) thanks for the responses Post Reply
Jayzeee View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 6 Oct, 2024 01:03 AM People who are successful on dating sites all follow the same format. They talk via the site for a few weeks then move to talking on the phone. A face to face meeting follows shortly after, anything else is a waste of time…:-) Post Reply

That he wrote you may mean he visited some of your blogs. Now he is hurt. But that is okay. Much hurt on these sites. Yet we choose to be here anyway. Quite an investment of words being on these sites. Not many people meet anybody, and we are all suspicious of another. I have not given out my phone number to one person. Before I give out my number, I want to meet a person. When I give out my e-address, usually after a day or two, the writers are asking for gift cards and moneygrams and the correspondence quickly ends. More that write are banned the first day their profile appears on this site. The odds of meeting someone are slim. If we did meet someone, we would probably prefer to just be friends. Post Reply
silver761 View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 6 Oct, 2024 03:27 PM He blocked you? That is weird. But you know if someone calls you a friend or wants to marry you or says "let's keep in touch" or "I like you" -- all those things can be fake or just a thing people say and then forget. The bottom line is we're all strangers here, so we have to exercise some caution and not be too hurt when someone tells us that he or she likes us or calls us a "friend" then the next moment we get blocked by the same. :( I've even heard stories of people being ghosted after months-long friendships, and those can be heartbreaking...

Handyman62 View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 7 Oct, 2024 06:22 AM I agree that it's weird he blocked her. Both scammers and men want the relationship to get off the ground and turn into something beneficial so blocking early on would certainly cut the chances of that ever happening. On the other hand women with their many icks will block at the drop of a hat regardless of how long the conversation has been going on. Could it have been a female scammer masquerading as a male? Inquiring minds want to know. Post Reply
WalkNTalk View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 7 Oct, 2024 03:40 PM Plainly, I think he read the blog and knew it was about him, so blocked her. I think that he contacted her in the first place may be because he visited the blogs and read a blog she was in. But do not be disheartened. It saved you in the long run. Go on being picky. The worst thing that happens is staying celibate. I think there is more disappointment in marrying the wrong one than not ever marrying at all.

Handyman62 View Profile History	Should I pursue this Posted : 7 Oct, 2024 09:13 PM WNT your theory of him blocking because he read this blog could certainly be plausible. As far as me not being around. I have been dealing with some serious medical issues which have been taking priority over my life. I don't really want to put up any details here but thy are in my profile for anyone who's curious. Post Reply
