Does that happen often? I'm unaware of this
Before I learned my lesson, I had talked to two guys that were crazy. They both exhibited some red flags in their initial emails to me, but being the nice person that I am, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. I will never do that again. LOL.
One of them, when I was on the phone with him, told me that we should take a walk in the forest preserve and then he said he'd hit me. And then I STUPIDLY gave him my Yahoo IM information (whilst I was having the conversation with him on the phone) and he accused me of getting naked in front of a webcam and even tried to view my webcam.
Needless to say, I blocked him, but then a couple of weeks later, he IM'd me (apparently I didn't block him correctly, since I'd never had to do that before) and when I didn't answer, he called me a jackass.
Then I learned the correct way to block someone and I did that. He hasn't bothered me since, and luckily, I haven't received any phone calls/texts from him. The other guy couldn't keep the fact that I had a daughter and not a son straight in the same phone conversation and then he caused a TON of drama in my life via text messaging and emails through the site. I finally had to block his profile so he couldn't contact me anymore, because he contacted me a couple of weeks after we stopped talking to ask if I wanted to try again. Uh no. He acted as though I was desperate and that he was doing me a favor by talking to me.
Needless to say, his profile was blocked after that.
And after those 2 experiences (that happened early on in my online dating life), I was a lot more careful with who I gave my personal information to, and I made sure I didn't get any weird feelings about anything they said via emails through the site. I decided to finally stop being so nice and started thinking with my gut reactions. :smt023
