Alone Better Than Abused
40 year
old female from New York
I am the same woman who wrote I
was giving up online dating. I actually did, but
some old free Website sent me a note one day that a
man was interested
in me and I thought "why not?"
At first he seemed pretty
normal, but with a lot of baggage (kids, ex wife, etc).
Within several months, however, he turned
into a complete nut job: possessive and with a serious
personality disorder. We are talking this guy had potential
abuser written all over him. And it makes me wonder:
Does online dating draw these freaks
because they can hide who they really are longer?
The potential "match" has
no outside reference such as seeing them interact in
a social setting before being matched...
It also may not be the best place for
women who don't have a complete handle on their instincts
about strangers or people. For example I have realized,
in general, that I am not the best judge of character.
And therefore, I'm not ideal for any sort of stranger
meets stranger
dating service.
I wish everyone luck. And most of all
remember: being alone is always better than being
with an abuser or a nut job.
