The games that are played online. I never had anything like what has just happen here happen to me but wrote a poem to vent just the ganes they play online. I am posting it here again incase some of you missed it...think it hits home true. HONESTY is number #1.

Online Dating Blues

Online Dating that’s what I’m Hating
Never thought I’d be doing this
Searching for my friend
Don’t even know where to begin
This is all new to me
Who knows the rules?

The games that are played online
They talk and then they stop
They only want to window shop
Thinking they know who you are
By printed words
From distances so far
It’s cold and judgmental in here

Watch and wait for contact
To bold then…
You’re a stalker
To shy then…
You don’t care
Do you have a web cam?
Who do you think I am!
What ever happened to just friends?

Tired of being lonely
Someone has to start
Looking for my one and only
Words to fill my heart with joy
A glance and I shiver with excitement
A touch to feel safe and content
Want to hear the music in my soul?
Touch me deep from within your heart

Longing for the way it was
Not understanding this new cyber sea
How can we know
Without eyes connecting
Seeing the response to our voices
Only one way to see inside
So why does everyone want to hide

To be anyone you want
And afraid to be themselves
Only to be disappointed
Bearing your soul to a stranger
In hopes they will care
Only to find no one is there
Online Dating that’s what I’m Hating

On a positive note
Look at what I wrote
Just words running
Through my head
My fears, dreams, and confusion

I spouted honesty is my policy from day one. It's the only way to be in my book. Followed by the art of conversation, discussing lifes issues in a civil, adult manner. I now know some aren't capable of such things.

I know what you mean Cindy , I am the same type of person you are , I have been the same place you are now in PAST relationships,

I have continued to be upfront and honest knowing that I would find the right one for me one day. And I think that day has come. Keep your chin up girl and keep the way you are , good thngs will come to those that never give up.

Coco, great poem,thank you for sharing with us

Why do people feel the need to "play" others?
They are insecure within themselves
They need to feel desireable
They are stuck in the "I'm the victim" mindset
They can't handle reality

They are also people with feelings but got side tracked somehow.

Here's to you Cindy

there are plenty of good men, take the time to look before you make generalizations.
