It’s difficult when you’ve developed feelings for someone and are being taken advantage of, but at least I didn’t send any $. It was time to take a deep breath and move on. Can’t say I didn’t feel stupid for a while, but I got over it .

Yes, the scammers are out there, but their approach is predictable once you know the signs. When I was using an online service, I got good at spotting the scams and reported many of them to the site. Online dating is not for everyone, but I and several other seniors I know were successful. Stay alert and be safe. It helps to have a dating buddy to vet your choices and spot red flags.

Lately I have been using OK Cupid. For me, they all have been mostly a waste of time and money. Best to meet face-to-face in varying settings, such as skiing and attending fund-raising events, or just by chance, such as meeting a person while walking through Grand Central Station in New York City. I have researched expensive “match-making” services. Not for me.

I believe in writing for quite a while so I can get the vibes of that person and how they communicate. Only when I feel confident that they are not scammers will I offer to use FB MSGR or WhatsApp. Only after talking for quite a while will I think about meeting that person. There are risks to both women and men. Congratulations to you both

We have been together 12 years, married 7years. It’s not for everyone, but we are very fortunate it worked out for us.

Just be careful and safe. We spoke on the phone for a long time until we finally met.
Our first date took place in the daytime at a known location/restaurant.
