Dating on the Internet- A Warning

by Blue25

I have not had a relationship in years by choice. My children are grown now, and I decided to go on the internet (not this site). I never met this man in person only on the internet. We talked about 3 months on the phone everyday and I got very involved with this gentleman. He was active in sports and I liked that. He was also very devoted to his daughter and her kids. Then he began to not calling; telling me he would and sometimes he would and sometimes he wouldn't. I told him if he didn’t want to continue to let me know so we both could move on. For me 3 months is too long to just talk on the phone. I asked about our relationship and he stated I was to suspicious and appeared I was not trusting of him. I never accused him of anything. He stated we should end the relationship. It hurt me very much and still does because I was truthful to him about my feelings. I told him so, and he stated he had strong feelings also, but wasn't the kind of man display it all the time. I had waited all this time to find someone and when I did he done this to me. I have never had a man to quit me that didn't even really know me and it still hurts. I still like him. It is like he programmed my mind. But I know in time it will pass. So I am here looking for another relationship. He had a picture on the internet but this person looked 60 not 70and I told him so, and some of the pictures look like it wasn't even him, so I think he was playing games. He stated I was slick. I think if someone gets on the internet to find someone they should be for real because you are playing with other people’s lives
