Welcome to the scary world of cyberdating! :devil:

Actually, it doesn't have to be scary if you are well equipped and knowledgeable to enter into this new world of dating.

If you haven't already, may I suggest that you research the pros and cons of online dating, especially on the topic of scammers. Just by your statement of this being brand new to this may attract those looking to take advantage of you, mainly your finances.

Basic hard rules are... (notice I said basic)

1) Don't be so quick to give out your email info and phone number to anyone, but stay in the safety of messaging online thru this site. One major advantage of that is whatever they say to you stays here and may help you if you encounter such a person.

2) Do not send anybody any money, no matter how heart wrenching their stories sound. Countless number of people on dating websites have been scammed for huge amounts of money, some even lost all of their life savings. Many stories and videos of such cases can be found online.

3) A person who contacts you may appear to be just around the corner from you but in fact could be far off in another part of the world. They may seem to set up a date with you, but then, for some reason, they cancel. This repeats time and time again.

4) Don't be afraid to play detective on someone. See if they say who they say they are.

I'd be pleased if someone did this on me for it shows that they are thinking. If they get offended by this, somethings wrong.

These are just a few of many other "red flag" things to watch out for.

I don't mean to scare you or anything, but just wanna help, hoping to make your experience here a good one.

Hopefully others will chime in to also give you pointers or experiences they went thru wether good or bad.

Also maybe they can give you the positive... how to go about pursuing your man with ideas and tactics.

Like you said, tis ain't the 80's!

May God bless you on your search! :waving:

Thank you for your response. Yes as I said in my profile I was married to an Army Infantry Soldier for over twenty years. I am well aware of the feeling of being lonely when a soldier is a way for long periods of time. So many men and women protray people they are NOT. I know right from wrong because I have faith of who hold MY tomorrow. That is my faith and my faith ALONE.
