The Money Trap

So when I decided to give online dating a shot, I had no idea where to start and which site to use.  From the time I changed my  Facebook status to "single", I started to get ads constantly for matchmaking sites....(nice right?)....so I clicked on one.

I started to use this site and clicked here and there.....just exploring what online dating had to offer.....let me tell you this: online dating is just as dizzying and confusing as real life dating! The only difference is that you do it on a couch rather than at a bar.  It's the same process....Instead of checking out all the other people in a bar, you're browsing pictures....you're still wondering the same things...is this guy really who he says he is? Is he really single? Is he actually married!? Like anything else, people always put their best face forward...only a few are genuine and honest. 

And then there's this....Instead of paying for drinks at a bar......you're paying to communicate!  That's the money trap....I suppose everywhere someone has a chance to make a profit, it's gonna happen.  This is how one gets sucked in. You get to send one message for free, then afterwards, if you want to converse further than the first "hello", you need to pay! I had no clue this is what it was like!

So after receiving lots of "hey baby's" and "what's up's" and not being able to chat... i decided to just to reply with my number....

That's when you start getting texts from certain types of people.....stay tuned as i explore the different characters i meet along the way...."the sketchy ones, the persistent ones, the lonely ones and the one you'd like to meet".
