Yes, granted, it is online. Often you have no other method of communication with that particular person, and so after a certain amount of time, you begin to trust them a little bit.
But then you hear them slip... one of their stories doesn't check out with the new version.
But you let that slide.
And everything seems wonderful... so you keep talking.
After a few months or so, you begin to talk less and less, and you find it okay, but he doesn't, so he talks about moving.. from California to BC to be near you. That's a bit creepy, so you put him on ignore.
*rolling eyes, smirk on my face* And then you find out that while you two have been talking, he's spent time stringing other women along.. poor creatures who had (unlike you) invested some emotion into the situation. Those poor women. And then you find out, he's been harrassing one of your friends. Oh lord, this is getting stupid.
And THEN! Then you find out that he's been fired from his job (which he said he owned the business), and that he's been stealing and such.
Scummy, eh?
I've long since had him on ignore... and this surprises me not in the least... I can only shake my head, smirking.

Ever met someone like that online? Someone who, for months, seemed like a regular, nice person? Someone you could talk to in good and bad times... who turned out to be freaky (in a bad way) and just.. scummy?
Let me hear the grisly details...
