Let’s start at the beginning—people lie, about their age, about their appearance, about their whole lives.
They eventually get caught, but it pays to be wary. You don’t want to waste your time, be swindled, or worse.
On the plus side, most people in the online dating world are… well, people. They’re honest, ordinary human beings with hopes, fears, and dreams of their own. They’re looking for a connection, for someone to share their lives with or just someone to talk to. Naturally, there are those with really bizarre ideas of appropriate conduct.

It was a sweet gesture; even though the date didn’t pan out, we remained friends.
