Not coming to a close, just posting less often. I was in Asia on another speaking tour for the last 2.5 weeks so had less time to post.

Also, King Charming’s adult kids discovered my blog — don’t ask me how — and so I am less free to post whatever I want about whatever I’m feeling. Not that there has been anything negative to post, but I now find myself asking if I want his kids to read whatever is on my mind.

So I’ll continue with my at-least-weekly (and hopefully more often) posts that I think would be of interest to my readers.

Wow, he sounds like the real deal, congrats to you!

You are very wise! Yes, it usually takes a while for the relationship to develop.

That said however, I was instantly drawn to King Charming with his emails and then when we talked by phone. And then when I first laid eyes on him, I knew I was a goner! And he is fabulous and keeps getting more so as we get to know each other even better. Yum!

I agree with Catherine. My admittedly limited experiences with men online who start out strong have taught me that the potential relationship, (be it scammer, spammer or just plain bummer), is never likely to get off the ground, or, if it does, it fizzles out quickly after the first meeting, once the guy in question, (who’s usually just after sex, like the smooth talking types who hang out offline in bars and clubs for the same purpose), realizes he’s not about to get what he wants from me.

My longest lasting love relationships have always started slowly, with friendship first, the occasional call or e mail leading to in-person meetings or coffee dates if we’ve met offline first, more phone calls/e mails, and a slow but steady build up of passion and interest on both sides. Without a firm foundation of friendship to build on, this aging lady doesn’t believe any relationship stands a ghost of a chance over the long haul. Initial fireworks and over the top passionate encounters may work well in the movies, but IMHO in a real life adult LTR, they’re anything but a good sign, at least at the outset.

Hugs and good luck with King Charming!

After my experience I found out that a lot of people get scammed by con artists from internet dating sites. They have been bilked out of thousands of dollars by various cons.

While this may be a case of a man “trolling” the internet for easy sex, it may also be something much worse. Best to run for the hills when getting an overly familiar or sexual email right off the bat. Any relationship that starts out on that foot will not end well, in my opinion.
