You really can't tell if someone is being genuine...especially someone you meet online thru a singles' site. I'm much older than you, but I've been there, done that, more than once, till I finally stopped trying. In my experience, men can appear to be anything and everything online. I lost SO much...my self-respect, my ability to trust, my pride, money...on and on.

I had been in a 20 year unhappy marriage, and finally free, thought I'd meet "mr. right." NOT! I don't mean to sound so negative, because I know there are people out there who have met the right one, their
"soul mate", but I feel this is rare.

Is there any other way for you to meet the opposite sex? Perhaps thru
social groups, college classes, etc.? I feel, from personal experience, that meeting men online is like throwing a hook into the ocean and pulling out who knows what kind of monster.

I truly feel you would be much better off finding happiness within yourself.
Even if this means being alone for a time.

PM me if you wish.

Thanks for this!
