This is a bit of a sad story of where a woman falls in love only to find that her boyfriend is still pursuing other online daters. It often happens that women can commit to a relationship without reading the tell-tale signs of infidelity in their partners but this situation can also happen to men too.
Often it takes a good judge of character and experience to look underneath the personality of the person and unfortunately in relationships of the opposite sexes our emotions and feelings can get in the way. My advice is to always pay attention to the ‘red flags’ that come up now and then and watch for your partners reaction to any events where you have an uneasy feeling.
Most often or not, we can become gullible to what people would say and believe their stories because we set standards on them similar to ourselves. This in fact is a wrong thing to do, everyone is different and you should look at it from that point of view. When we look at seeking companionship, love and affection as a way to bring relief or sense of hope to our empty lives, it is then that we are the most vulnerable. As a result of the trust that we place on these emotional values with another person, some of us can become very untrustworthy and not give others a chance whereas some will choose to ignore it and get hurt time and time again.
How do we strike a balance? We need to take control and understand this complex nature of love and affection with another person and keep in mind that by doing this you are actually opening your heart to more love and affection. We should seek within our own selves the temperament, the fervor and love that emanates from within us and not to look for it in the object of our desire. You will almost surely find that the other person will be drawn to this similar feeling of ’self-control’ and ’self-worth’ that makes you a substantially more appealing person.
we need to appreciate our self-worth first before we can truly love another

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This is a good post on potential online dating financial scams that are still in play today. Although, most of us are aware of the many scams still at work today, we have become accustomed to some of them including the Nigerian scam where an email is sent to individuals making an appeal of clemency on behalf of a distressed widow of an army officer with millions of dollars stashed away in a foreign bank.
We have to continue to be alert to some of the creative ways that scammers are coming up with to swindle people out of money and it is no different to the online dating world where scammers prey on some of those people and prey on their vulnerabilities. The post gives good tips on how to be more alert to these type of scams and make you more savvy in detecting others.
Don’t rely on a photo
Photos are the easiest way to convince and attract the opposite sex. Pictures of women dressed too provocatively can be tell tale signs of scammers, if you are not sure, read carefully the communication that ensues.
Don’t give or accept money
These are the surest signs of scam, whenever a user asks for money or tries to give you money. Couple this with the photo and messages sent and you can probably string them together to discover their act.
Some dating sites such as Jumpdates.com has an excellent scam screening process and the site makes it very easy for users to report a scammer and warning other members on the site.
online dating scams can be very creative but usually involves money

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This post is from a UK site and talks about online dating as it applies to the UK men and women.
In UK alone, one in six people now meet through an online dating site whereas in USA this figure is about one in five. Some tips from leading dating companies suggest that creating a catchy headline for your profile is important but make it unique and not the same way ie. “Bubbly personality”.
A Bath University lecturer said that your email address, spelling, speed of replying all adds to how they measure you from the other side. Doing a spell check is vital for some readers.
Some readers who have written in to say that the online profile cannot say much until you have seen him/her in person, “I have have been excited through texting and emails but when we met there were no sparks”
One single mum says she would tick all the boxes in her profile just to increase her chances. “An initial phone chat allows you to find out much about the person and if they are willing to introduce you to friends and families, its the best way to see what his world looks like and how you would fit in”.
being honest with your dating profile can help but leave something to the imagination
