For instance, this week I've had a few "disappearances". One guy, who was supposedly a musician on the road due to come back home here in 3 weeks (I always had some doubts about his story)who was calling me and texting.....vanished. (I take it as confirmation that he was a bullshitter as I suspected). A long-time chat friend who disappeared for a couple months once before when he got depressed in the wake of his grandfather's death - took his site down again with no warning.
At the same time, I've got an attorney who is supposed to be coming into town this week (I reserve judgment on all out-of-town contacts until they actually materialize AND I can verify they aren't married!) and a local guy who is looking quite promising. I've learned the fizzle-out rate is high with online contacts so it is best to keep a few things going at once until something pans out.
