What a shame. I met my toyboy online 7 years ago. It took me a long time to accept that he was genuinely interested in me & not at all out for a quick roll in the hay. It was challenging, though. I think what persuaded me initially was that we could have sensible conversations online without innuendo or double meanings.
Please try not to let it get you down, clearly there are pleasant & genuine people out there in cyberspace, but you need to have your dross filter turned on.

oh dear.

How did you find out?

Try not to feel too foolish. After all nobody was holding a gun to his head saying 'date this woman'. he still did it because he wanted to, even though it turns out he made a habit of it.

hi OP, I had my suspicions. I think with online you have to assume the worse scenario, this way you could only be pleasantly surprised (well, especially with much younger men). Do you find your own age men attarctive? if so, don't give up online dating yet! I think it helps to state clearly in yor profile that you are not after casual flings, and no overtly sexy clothing in photos (they think you are just being coy in messages then, but still 'up for it') - hth.

Thanks allaflutter, yea I just should not have gone there, I did say I was looking for a serious relationship and only show my head and shoulders keep it discreet what I show you never know who is out there!, oh yea I do find men my own age attractive and will most defintley be sticking to that , guess in some ways it has opened my eyes , I realise I am old fashioned and want to be treated like a lady , not pounched on on date number 2!, maybe I will stick with it but will sleep on it , thanks again .
