Sherry, I know exactly what you mean. But, that's the unfair thing about on-line relationships. They seem real.

Sometimes, I get a stray thought too about the myspace woman I dated. But then I think it through, beyond the passion and realize that it wasn't real. She would have settled for me if she couldn't have found to what would have been to her a real man.

This is why I don't recommend premartial intimacy either. Because if things don't work out, it's harder (especially for women) to break it off.

Quite honestly, I think that American and Western men are part of this problem. It seems to me like meeting these foreign men isn't even their first choice. It sounds like just about everyone on here is a decent person just looking for love.

But Western men really need to get their act together. Yes, there are nice guys out there, but it just takes time and effort to find them, and on-line is just an easy cop-out.
