And sadly, THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is very commonly what is found online dating (OLD). This is more often than not the norm - people who have no business dating, are not at all ready to date, and sometimes by their own admission, are a train wreck. I’ve said it before here, buyer beware, this is often what you will find OLD - the land of misfit toys. Sign me up for some of that... NOT.

Kit cat, I’d offer suggestions and some advice but clearly you’re just going to continue to do what you want regardless of the advice you receive or the detriment to yourself. So I can only wish you the best. For everyone else, the next time you’re about to get OLD remember all of the stories you’ve read here. Of course if you just want to hook up once or twice, it may all work out for you. Or you might be one of the 10% who actually find a LTR as they do happen as someone does win the lottery or raffle or football pool. The rest of us just fund it.
