People don't show their true colors right away.

Talking on the phone is "not" enough to know who they are and going to visit on wknds or a few days is fun, but do you really get to know them?

I'm sorry that things didn't work out for anyone that has move clear across the US or even just to another city for the one they love. This will only make you stronger and wiser next time!!

.. omg........ this is soo right on..
even when meeting someone in person....... as i had this experience recently . meeting someone out here and NOT on line.... well we just did the dating thing.. since well..... we met last july didnt even date until sept.. i think... and ended it into just friends only.. early this month..
and it was for the best..... for both of us.. heh.

i agree with a lot of what strappy posted here....... i like the .. IN person dating thing for a wwhile.. its the best way I feel you can get to know someone.
