It does make you wonder doesn't it Loew, all these women out there, that a flirt here and there, that they think won't harm them, it sure suprised me reading that, that's why I don't trust some of the guys I chat too, just to make sure I don't fall into that trap, of them landing on my doorstep...LMAO
Thanks hun, does make you wonder doesn't it?....LMAO, it's well got me thinking when I chat on MSN with those guys, even though some are married, it sure is an eye opener on some of their chats
I came across this article in a national newspaper magazine, and to my amusement found it to be very true!
Somewhere in our lives we have encountered this problem, or may have been a victim or even done it ourselves, which to be honest I have, and I have MSN and yahoo lists to prove it, like the article says, we do it unitentionally, just for a bit of fun, but it can have an awful effect of backfiring on us, which as of yet hasn't to me yet, but a guy I speak to I could imagine him booking flights for the next available date, which at this moment in time, I would have a fit if he turned up on my doorstep
So ladies or guys beware, what the article says, just be careful, I know I will be in future, what starts out as harmless flirting, could seriously land you in hot water.....
Here is the article, I have re written it, as I did not have my scanner to scan the article onto here.
THE TOXIC BACHELOR
THINK ONLINE FLIRTING IS JUST A BIT OF INNOCENT FUN?
STUART HOOD, BEGS TO DIFFER
Forgive me, readers for I have sinned. Ive kept something from you. Ive been in a relationship with a girl called Marie for two months. A bliss-filled period thats seen us consummate our love, share our innermost secrets and live out our furthest fetched fantasies.
I know , youre thinking Ive let you down. Only I havent. Because when I say us, I mean Marie. When I say our, I mean her, And when I say share I mean inform via Facebook.
Admittedly, like most relationships that originate online, things were pretty innocent at first: How are you? What music are you into? etc. But suddenly something changed. Suddenly innuendo appeared in every second sentence. Suddenly Id assumed the position of sexual sounding board.
Every day I sign in and theres another email. Thousands of make-mum-blush, messages from a lady Ive Met once, for 20 minutes, in a fish restaurant in Canada. (thats the joy of second life for you).
Admittedly, I havent discouraged her. But why should I discourage any of my online friends from flirting? Because Maries gone too far, thats why. And I bet you have too.
Enchanted by social networking, youve swapped Dear Diary for Dear Derek, confiding in virtual beefcakes and bestowing LOLS and XXs on men you barely know. And you do it because you cant foresee any reprisals. But Ive got news for you: these admissions could endanger you.
The clue is in the name, you see. Facebook isnt faceless (and nor are Bebo, My Space, MSN etc). On the end of every playful email are excited eyeballs, scanning your prose and misinterpreting its meaning.
You think your message is a little naughty. He thinks youre up for it. You think hes kidding about meeting up. Hes on the internet booking flights.
So stop, please However innocent you perceive your communication to be, for your own good, stop toying with strangers. Stop before your net-based confidant gets the wrong impression. Stop before an uninvited friend turns up on your doorstep.
