On line dating turned deadly

I know people that have used on line dating and are now happily married. Lucky them because according to this woman, people are missing and 1 in 5 are dangerous. That is pretty high odds, that you will meet a lune.

I'll second that. Met a few angels and sent as many loonies to the curb. Online, you can be anyone you want. Once that honeymoon's over....

As long as you didn't find her boiling your bunny, guess it could have been worse...

In my defense I'd like to say...

..I'm a friendly loon!

Does taking one leg off everything that could be unscrewed count? Rabbit stew's good stuff....

You know, people get 'taken in' all the time in face to face encounters too. I just think a lot of people don't pay the right amount of attention to warning signs. Of course, there are those semi-professional con artists or true psychopaths that can fool just about anybody. But on the whole I don't believe getting to know someone online is really all that different than getting to know them elsewhere. You just have to pay attention and don't do anything incredibly stupid like give out personal identifiable information too soon. But really is that any different than meeting someone at a party?

As long as no rabbits died, in any manner of speaking, you're probably safe.

Speaking of on line dating getting ugly.

"She" may or may not have even truly existed but supposing she did, imagine if she had met up with this loser? I don't think it would have ended well.

I know a few people who have met online and out of them all only one couple is happily married with three kids (two of their own, one from a previous relationship on the mother's side). They're great people.

But I agree, rare case. After meeting someone online myself, I'd be wary to go that route again, unless I really, really knew the person.

I'm glad I' married young. I completely missed this Internet dating thing.

To me it looks like shopping for a used car.

A used car that is a narcissist.

And that's the key to the whole thing, using common sense and not jumping into anything.

While what the woman went through in the news article was horrific, there have been just as many abusive, stalking, and murderous tales that come out of meeting someone by any method. By no means is it my intention to promote on line dating or meeting anyone that you get to know on line but the whole attitude towards it that we seem to have is really indicative of where we are in society. We want quick, band-aid solutions to our problems, we want someone/something else to take responsibility for our choices. We just seem to be, as a whole, moving further and further away from personal responsibility for the paths we are choosing for ourselves.

There are no absolute certainties in life, but a little forethought, a little planning, a little diligence can go a long way.
