I’ve been involved with online dating since...since forever! In the beginning, when I set up my profiles, I was totally honest. Over the years, I began to regret it!
When I state: Do not tell the truth, it is only to protect yourself. I tell the truth about my exterior, not my interior.
Being honest about your feeling, emotions, future plans and dreams is a huge mistake! Online, that is the equivalent to leaving a cash stuffed armored truck in a back alley, with the keys in it.
If you haven’t discovered it already, the online dating sites are over populated with emotional con artists and leeches. They prey on your feelings and emotions. That is why I do not tell the truth.
Most of us think, by laying our feelings on the line...by letting it all hang out we will have a better chance at attracting someone compatible to our dreams, hopes, ambitions, etc. To be perfectly honest? It has backfired on me four out of five times! When I got tired of being emotionally abused, I learned; do not tell the truth!
Emotional con artists study you like a book. They will take your truth, ask additional questions, and then miraculously transform themselves into the person of your dreams! Your profile states: you love public displays of affection? So do they!
you love spooning on a plush rug in front of the fireplace on a rainy
night...so do they!
you love to go to local carnivals late at night...guess what? So do they!
Soon you feel like you’ve found your soul mate. You haven’t, but you gave him the key to your innermost thoughts, hopes, desires, and dreams.
Online, we give total strangers access to very private information. They in turn, can turn around and trash it! Because of this, I learned to not tell the truth...until that special one has earned his way into that secret place. And...not until then.
