writes:Hi everyone. It's been two years since I have written anything on Dear Cupid, so please bear with me since I have been on a two-year hiatus. Well...I'm still single since I'm not involved with anyone else, aside from the fact that I have been online dating and I've pretty much haven't had a great experience since all I see on those dating sites are scammers and deceivers. There was this one particular girl who I thought I was in love with, and yeah we had a "relationship," but that relationship was a lie. For one thing, I have helped her out financially with her problems and she cheats on me. She never really loved me and what did I ever do to her? All I gave her was my love and my kindness. The whole relationship was about me giving her %1,000,000 of myself to her and she gave me %25. She was a Filipina woman whose name I will not give away out of respect (but I do feel she needs to be disrespected for everything she's done to me and to every other guy she swindled for money). So, after the pain and suffering she gave me, I had to break up with her. Then I am faced with more fake relationships that almost resulted in having girls falling in love with my wallet. One even threatened to kill me for a laptop. A laptop!! Are you kidding me?!! Another wanted me to pay for a ticket for her son. Others, gifts. I'm glad I didn't give them a dime because that's all they ever cared about. I have NOT met one single, honest girl who truly wanted to be with me. Here's my advice for you guys, DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO ANYONE ON THE INTERNET AT ALL COSTS!! Also, please meet each other in person if you can. If you live close by, then that's more power to you. If you live across state or country, then do your best to fly over there and agree to an appropriate time to meet each other. Preferably in a public setting just so you can get to know each other quite well.

 I'm convinced that you shouldn't mix money and relationships. Ever. It leads only to trouble, and you end up being scammed or ripped off. Don't loan out or give money to friends or family either. If people need money they can go to the bank.

 I was scammed by a girl a few years ago. It was the final nail that set of my depression. Im still suffering from it 3 years later.
Dude, as my father once put it "you cant buy love"
try meeting people from your area in which you can see face to face. Everyone online pretends to be someone else

Neoloverboy23 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionjanniepeg, I do understand your convictions, but if you do meet someone from across the world, how will you be able to know if that person is real or not? I do agree with you that you wouldn't go over there, but it's vital to know someone and find out if they are true or not. I also firmly agree with you about money issues and that's why I don't bring up money issues with a potential suitor. Still though, you need to meet someone in person and make sure you and your significant other be in public view.

I would not fly over to meet a potential date ever. When money comes up before you even meet you should have cut that person off.
