Re: Online Dating War Stories
Well, let's see here . . .
I had a relative who, once upon a time, registered on eHarmony. He filled out all of the forms, and told as much about himself that he possibly could before he reviewed his "matches". So, a day or two later, he logs on to eHarmony too take looksie at his reccomended "matches"; where he finds this one woman who "matched" his criteria exactly. After he messages her,and chats with her (online), they decide to meet for the first time at a local restaraunt. So, this relative of mine is really excited . . . until his "date" doesn't show up at first. "Okay", says he, "Maybe she's just running late". So, there he waits. And waits. After a few hours, still no sign of his "date". Feeling like he had been ripped off, he drives back home, and logs on to eHarmony; and notices that he has a new message from his theoretical "match". The subject reads "n00b". Furiously, he opens the rest of the message, only to find that someone had completely scammed him . . . and this was after about a month or two of this relative of mine doing anything to find new love, along with paid services via his online dating site.
The lesson? Be cautious when using these type of sites, and make sure that the people you connect with via these sites are genuine. I'm sure that my uncle(that certain relative I was speaking of) learned this.

Re: Online Dating War Stories
I don't have any horror stories. I met my husband online in a jla rpg board and am very happy. Apparently though one of my relatives back when the internet was first getting popular. (early/mid90s') met a guy online, he came to her house to like "move in" took all her stuff, possibly cleared out her bank account as well and took off.
