Hello Steve-

I have been in your shoes quite a bit concerning online dating. It is like a crap shoot, where the odds aren’t always in your favor. Sure, they look and sound like the perfect catch. Once you actually meet them, then you don’t know what to expect. I met at least three and they didn’t quite work to my advantage. The first few months were amazing but then something makes it come to a halt. This happened to me recently and we had a good relationship for a couple years. She only visited me once but it turned out to be a one night stand. She had no intention of uprooting her life on the east coast to spend it with me. Yet, she had assured me not to worry. Unfortunately, the worse case scenario fell into place. She blocked me from her phone, so that I couldn’t call or text (she had a full time job) That was the first red flag. She felt it might be better to email back and forth. This felt odd, I have a hard time trying to communicate effectively in a situation like that. To make a long story short, she “kicked me to the curb” so to speak. I was blamed for everything from A-Z. My next endeavor, in a dating relationship, I will handle it with an open mind but also protect myself from further pain. I hope what I and the other supporters said helped. Thank you for sharing this. Good luck
