Those of you who are my friends on Facebook, may have heard bits & pieces of it, but I want to warn all of you about who you may meet on internet dating sites....I had been tired of being alone & there are not many opportunities to meet people especially at my age, so I started actively looking for dates on POF. I had joined about 3 years ago, but never really did much with it until a few months ago....Well, I did meet someone that I was very attracted to & being vulnerable, I fell hard for this guy. He took me on a torture trip, that I can't even get into. He told me so many lies, & I bought into it all, played head games, on text messages & in person. I mean the guy is seriously in need of help. I think he must be Bi-polar or even a sociopath. I can't remember being so hurt & tortured by a man.
I am trying hard to put this terrible experience behind me, but I am still having a hard time with it. I can't sleep & lost 8 pounds, which I had not been able to lose for a year. I guess by the time the Eagles get to NYC, I will be one skinny girl...I swear that I felt like I was having a nervous breakdown from this guy.
I just want to warn all of you out there, that there are a lot of twisted men on these websites, so if you are considering internet dating, just be really careful & protect yourself, & don't believe everything someone tells you.
Today, I am watching Eagles Christchurch concert to cheer me up & it's helping! Thanks for letting me vent! My friends have been supportive, but they saw all the warning signs that I ignored.
