Folks, I'd like to get your take on this. Personally, I'm not a big fan of online dating. I always prefer talking to women in person and making my move right in their presence as opposed to the Web. But sometimes, when I feel bored once in a while and happen to be on the computer, I check out a few of these personal sites just for fun. So I posted an ad a couple days ago last week for fun, and one "woman" responded to me. I normally don't do this, but we got to the point where I was somewhat able to get a bit comfortable with her and I gave her my cell phone number. She called me about three times when I was away from my phone and left a message without a call back number. Maybe she figured it was a cell phone number, so it was going to show up on my caller ID.
I called her back twice during separate long enough intervals and instead, I got a man's voicemail. I tried one last time at night and this time I blocked my number. She picked up and we talked. When I expressed concern about getting a man's voicemail upon trying to reach her, she said "she currently had problems with her phone" and that she was going to get it fixed by Tuesday of this week, at which point she'd give me her personal number. Then out of the blue this past weekend, I get an invitation to join My Space. Interestingly and not very surprisingly to me at this point, I see a fat guy's picture listed on what should be her image, even though it states: "Female, 26 years old." As a result, I haven't accepted the invitation. It just seems to me as if something isn't right here and I may be about to get set up for whatever reason by a male and female psycho from the internet who may be up to no good. I think I recall hearing that male voice in one of her three voicemail messages speaking in the background saying something like :"I'll slit his..." I'm hoping that my concerns are valid here and I thought I'd share this with you guys because as most of you know, there are so many crazy and dangerous people on the internet and I don't want to end up risking my life through unnecessary deception.
