Hi Kristin.....
I was on numerous sites at one point....and finally did find someone who I now have been with for a year. It was a very long haul. I am a 57 year old woman who has been through a lot in life and it's ok because that is how we grow and learn. If I may give a few pointers....first and foremost the site that everyone pays for that is advertised all over? Yes MATCH! There are more predators scammers and con artists on there than the free sites. I had one ask me for money he was foreign and put up pics from a modeling site....seriously? I met one that was an ex-con even! Very scarey out there! So ladies and gents whenever you meet someone from a dating site? Get their full name and google them! Don't allow yourself to get taken in by a creeper.....Fortunately for me I knew someone who was able to help me with info on the ex-con....he was a liar from the first hello. And by all means don't let anyone know where you live until you have been on a number of dates. Have a friend call you once you have met your date not just to check on you but you can bail at that time if he's a creeper! And NEVER go to their residence.....way scarey! If they live far? They need to come to your area ..... I wish everyone the best of luck in the world of online dating....be careful, alert and watch out for yourself. =)
