Thanksgiving is on Thursday and Christmas is close behind. Many of us, me included, are single and "alone". We are alone in the sense of not having a man this holiday season, so we have no choice but to spend it with our families. "Oh how we love our families!"-sarcastic tone. On a good note, at least we can eat to our hearts content and not have to worry about him seeing us eating like a horse! :o)
When the festivites are all said and done, we go home, put on some sweat pants because our stomach is still a little wide from eating all of that food. We don't want to go to the club nor do we want to go to a bar. The bar is where the lonely people are. So, we boot up our trusty computer and start searching online dating sites. "Ooo, he's cute...he's fat...he looks like a peophile!"
Did you find the man of your dreams? Did you find him online or was it really a dream? You spent all night chatting with him and find the two of you have so much in common. You are in la-la land with a picture and some words! Go out there, meet the guy....
The two of you opted for a public place, and of course, it is the local coffee shop. The conversation is great, just like over the computer, but you are getting a weird vibe from him. He is nice looking, just like his picture, but he keeps looking around. Literally, moving his body to check out the surroundings. Is he a cop? Is he a bounty hunter or did he just escape from jail?
The later of the three is really what you are not hoping for! The penal system is letting inmates on the computers while incarcerated. You can protect yourself by asking probing questions about this person. Ask about his family, his work, and even his education. On personal note, I met a man online and he told me that he lived in VA and he was a goldminer. I went to google to see if there was still gold in dem der hills! Yea, the gold he was digging for was gold chains! He was immediately blocked!
Do your research ladies, be smart and don't fall for the okeedok because you are by yourself. Here is advice for you and for me...Occupy your time with other activities, take up a hobby, or even volunteer your time. There are people out there that are more lonely than we are.
