Five Online Daters To Avoid (4)
4. Membership Fishers
You finally got a response to your profile, and she's hot! You're all set to respond to the beauty queen, but there's one problem: Her profile happens to be over at some other site.
Of course, before you can send her a note on her profile, you're asked by the new dating site she's listed with the to sign up. Before you know it, you're a member of a new dating site, and it has your credit card info, and, it turns out, your new love doesn't exist.
Dating sites make their money on membership dues, and with thousands of them competing for daters, they're in a vicious fight to get you to sign up. Some wily sites have taken to trolling single people from other sites, making them think that a new lovely wants to meet them... at a new site that requires signing up.
How to avoid them:
Make sure anyone you hear from is already signed up with the online dating site you're signed up with. If someone responds to your profile, it means they already have a profile at the site you are using. Don't fall for the "meet me over here" tactic. If they really like you, they'll come talk to you where you are.

I agree with Derek. Hasn't anyone attended school in this country? I have never seen such horrific writing/spelling skills as recently. I actually received the following from some boring bonehead: "i liek wimun i shuld of gon to prinstun insted of harvurd." Yeah, whatever. I sure hope this dumbass was writing in jest. I teach language arts so I cannot help but notice that people do not use capital letters with words that need to be capitalized. Few people can use a comma or apostrophe. Spelling skills. What are those? Horrible. Writing in IM format is the worst of the lot. I will delete the following: "i have 2 great ideas. i will call u later. i live in texas gotta pic?" How about reading some good publications and quit playing with video games, iPods, or cell phones?

Girly Surfer says: I checked out E-harmony once when they had this good deal about checking your matches and writting to tham for the weekend for free. I 'met' such a nice man in the first day. He was sweet and gentle, and African-American (which I love). So we e mail the first stage or second but the free weekend ended and I did not want to pay that much for talking to a nice stranger... I wonder if it was a real or a fake dream man. What do U recommend? Single in Cali.

I've done this "on line" dating, off and on, for the last two years... The first--Very first person I got to know, said she had a child..Ok..Did I have an issue with kids? "Heck no..I was a kid once!" After talking on line a few times, then on the phone (which she brought up here daughter several times..), we decided to meet for a lunch. During that time, she offered to show me the picture of her child. Out of her wallet came pictures of 4 lil boys...? "Oh, are they nephews?" After several moments of red faced stamering, she confessed to them being her children as well...... From three other men! She never was married to any of the childrens fathers!!! Jeeeeeze; the things you learn on a date!Oh..., and "NO," we never talked agian.
