First he said he is a widower and has raised a son by himself, then he says he is looking for love and wants to be spoiled, and now he has his third user name picked out and I recognized that he was wearing the same blue and white checkered shirt in his photo the one he wore when he messaged me in the beginning. He left out the story about being a widower and never mentioned his son once. I reported him to the staff again. This guy has my cell number and I am a little concerned. He doesn't have my address or email, but I went back online and blocked him so he can't contact me. I left him a message asking him what name is he using this week. I can't believe I wanted to be friends with this person. He tried his charming act on me telling me that being friends is worthwhile. Did I do the right thing blocking him? It is so hard to trust guys online and I am more cautious now. Any suggestions on other things to look out for? Reply to this Question

Then you meet them in a public place to decide if you want to date them or not. Anyone who isn't interested in setting up a time to see you probably isn't looking to date you but to drag out things online and that doesn't benefit you at all unless you want online guy friends.

Its scary. My suggestion is for you to watch MTV's catfish show. Its very entertaining and informative when it comes to dating online.
Yes you are right blocking him.The devil always use charm and good looks. To me it would be best for you to meet someone in person first.

 Yes, you did the right thing blocking him, top doubting yourself.
And if you can BLOCK his number on your cell phone. Some types of cell-phones have free apps that can help you with that, so check that out.
