Traz, I was thinking about what words of wisdom I would give you for online dating. I would say don't go in with any great expectations, don't take everyone at face value and if you find someone you do have that "online connection" with, go and meet them earlier rather than later. You never really know until you meet someone. Be straight up about what you're looking for too. If you only want a casual date...say that. Makes it a lot easier in the long run.
It's almost like a skill you develop. You get good at reading profiles and reading between the lines. But it is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack.
holy smokes I didn't expect that many people to have tried this...I'm hesitant...I don't want drama psycho stalkers yikes save the drama for your mama I have way enough drama n my life
