A reader recently contacted me with the following situation:
Continue Reading →Just getting my feet beneath me with online dating. What comes clear very fast is that there is a LOT of faking going on, lots of winks from “cardboard” profiles with boilerplate language and a GQ profile photo. Can you discuss how to navigate this and even how to understand it — I don’t get the whole purpose, aside from them maybe asking for money, which of course I would never fall ...
Online dating can introduce some interesting situations and one that I’ve discussed with some women is the issue of becoming interested in a man after you’ve rejected him.
