Just posted but t seems to have vanished into the ether - so here goes again.
Just got in and caught this thread.
I am a man. I have some stories of internet dating, too.
One woman, after speaking on the phone, got me to take her to a restaurant (where we met) and onto the theatre - a costly night out and she let me pay for it all. When I drove her home she made me drop her at the end of the road as she was in a relationship and didn't want to be seen. Never heard from her again. Wonder who paid for her next evening out?
