Wow someone's in man-hating mood.

There is the same chance for women doing the same thing.

Risks have to be taken.


I agree with you that risks have to be taken, but those risks should not be foolish.

One thing that most entreprenuers have going for them and this is a good source to learn from is to always do you homework before you jump into anything and to think before you speak.

Anyone that knows anything about starting a business knows that you first have to understand and get to know as to who your customer is going to be before you can even think about opening a business because if you don't, then you are sure to fail and the same thing is also true of customer service as well.

How did she get your phone number?



I gave her my cell phone number at the time because prior to talking to her on the phone she sounded like she was allright, but little did I know at the time that she was actually crazy.

If I had known that she was a nutcase, then I never would have given her my phone number because I am just not into that scene at all.

My interest is in business, making money, romance, creating better relationships, and in finding new and improved ways of improving both myself and my life for the better by learning from every source that I possibly can that I believe will help me to overcome and avoid the mistakes of my past.

Kirk, I'm not sure why you enjoy throwing your barbs my way, but it'd be nice if you stopped it.

There was no man-hating in the post you quoted. I just got lied to and taken for a ride. I was upset and angry. I had every right to be.

I am on the phone with him and he says to tell you he is sorry and he did not mean for it to be offensive.

Ink,

I just want you to know that I don't blame you for being angry and upset for being lied to and for being taken for a ride.

It happens to the best of us and contrary to popular opinion there is no way that you can know ahead of time that someone is or will lie to you. All that you can do is to try to take steps to protect yourself so that you do not get hurt again by listening to the same or similar lies in the future.

Even police officers and psychologists can't be 100 right on target as to whether someone is lying to them or not because some people are just really, really good at it and I know that for a fact because I have not only experienced it myself, but I have also had the opportunity to talk to police officers as to what suggestions and techniques they might advise for preventing being lied to and taken advantage of and all they could tell me was that all you can do is to just take your best guess and hope that you are right.

Sometimes you will be right and sometimes you won't be. That just tends to go with the territory and that is something that all of us need to learn and accept.

Bottom line, be careful with who you meet online. It is imperative to take it slow and not put your hopes too high. I have learned that skeptism does help one to use good judgement at times. I am not saying that one should be closed minded; simply be very careful as to who you meet or interact online with... Even on a Christian site!

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

The best advice is to hope for the best while at the same time preparing for the worst.

Yeah, its very cold and I try my best to stay warm.

It has really only happened to me once before, but I was crushing pretty hard and it took me a while to get over it. It was frustrating and hurtful.
