The "I'm not sure what will happen and whatever happens happens" excuses

Lisa, let me just say that I am sure you are an attractive woman and as you said earlier I'm sure you could ...if you so choose. I won't even dispute that this man is attractive and I can see why you like him.

Naturally, Lisa, you would indeed thank Isis for her support, even though she's made it clear she would NEVER put herself in your position. For all I know she'll say anything on here to satisfy her own insecurities about her "relationship." and because one man has hurt her she and other man-defenders will take it all out on a entire hemisphere.

It is unfortunate that I will not be able to reach everyone on this site, and some of you will learn a very valuable lesson from all this. I'm just sorry it's going to be the hard way, Lisa.

Your response to the rest of us is just a means of saying "I don't know the future, therefore I should see what will happen." You say that you are not naive? Agreeing to marry a man before even meeting him is not naive? If that's not, then what is?

And this business about converting to Islam? Spare us, Lisa, and anyone other person on here in relationship with a Muslim who is considering this. We all can tell most of you probably would not even consider it if you were not in such a relationship.

Really, Lisa, this shouting is nothing I have not heard before and the more you do it, the more it proves my point.

The thing is Lisa, you really do not understand, because you've never been shammed by an overseas or on-line relationship before. It hurts just as much as a real life one. But I do believe that in time, you will learn your lesson. You will not be the only one either. It could be months, even years. But I feel it will come.

One last thing---I would rather not see you get hurt. If I wanted you to, all I would have to do is be silent, or even worse---encourage you to continue with this.
