Online Dating HURT

Hi everyone. My name is Stillness06. I was taken to a counselor by my family. One of the rules that my family wanted was for me to have a boyfriend. I was in 2 bad relationships in the previous 15 years and I was not ready for another bad one.

My doctor took me off of birth control for medical reasons. I was afraid to date in person because of pregnancy. I started talking online with long-distance dating. At first it was cool. I had no pressure of meeting anyone. As time passed, I begin to feel the loneliness and pressure of having a real guy in person for a date.

I met someone who lived 2 hours away. I thought maybe we can eventually meet. During the first week, he actually wanted to jump into bed online without protection. He didn't even ask about the way I felt. I was very offended and I told him that I had to go to a funeral. He felt I was a scam because he told me he was going to Africa. We still texted online.

l was really in love with him despite the bad timing. I told him I would get on birth control. My appointment was over 5 weeks away. I told him to wait and we will be meeting in the future face-to-face.

I felt we were CONFUSING each other. Neither of us had a lot of money to spend. Two hours of driving was out of the question for him. He only texted on special occasions. It was very fantasia. Unfortunately, we got into several disagreements which caused us to break up.

Shortly after that, I met 2 other guys in the same scamming situation. They really hurt my feelings because they tried to ask for money in a slick way.

They were so nice and led me to believe that we were going to get married. They had no intentions of ever meeting me face-to-face.

My conclusion is that I tried listening to counseling and family members about dating and I only got hurt worse. Now, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I fell in love with the wrong guys. I have to learn to trust men again. I never had that problem when I was younger in my twenties. I feel that I have to be really rich and buy a guy materialistic things in order to win his love. I wish I could right now. I will have to wait until God helps me with that.

Thank you for your service.

Check in to meetups in your area, you could met people with similar interest or something you might like to learn more about. Photography, art, reading club, exercise, hiking etc. just check for what’s going on in your area.

Take things slow whether you meet someone on line or in a group or a nice guy you meet at a coffee shop in line. Scammers are in a big hurry, if you take things slow they are not going to keep contacting you , they move on to someone else they can try to scam.

Find someone that has the basics , a home , a job. Someone kind and respectful, not expecting sex right away. A gentleman.. opens doors not only for you but others. Has a good outlook about life, has goals and dreams.

I'm sorry that you had to experience this. I'm sorry that you were hurt. Did you report them? For being a scam?
