Quote From: saromo627Perhaps it's far too soon for me to even worry about ever connecting again with another man. I've been widowed only 18 months and would love to network with other people.
I've learned that friends tend to shy away from you once you've lost your spouse. I thought that friends knew people who knew people and out of that knowledge might spring someone with similar interests. I've lost a great deal of that networking and now am high and dry with no one to talk to, have dinner with, go with to a show, and unwilling to plunge into unknown territory because of things that can happen as will be evidenced during this show. I'm afraid to trust.
I've tried all the conventional ways of meeting people and detest the online dating services because it's way too easy to hide "the real you" in cyberspace.
Any suggestions?
I have learned that only by educating yourself about these guys can you ever hope to trust. Also, speaking OUT about them - do not suffer in silence - take back your pride!!
It really upsets me when I hear women (and men) say "Oh THAT would NEVER happen to ME!! I am too smart for that!!" One of the women on this show? Sandra? Is a very highly educated lady.

For me I will NEVER date again. I was conned by someone I had known for 27 years!!! A friend!! He used his long standing acquaintance with me to get my trust and prey on myself and my friends. Afraid to trust - says it all. The person I trust the least? ME!!
(personally anyone who does online dating these days, especially now that Match.com is being sued, is taking a horrible chance)
