after posting the above i recieved a number of PMs about the dangers of internet dating.

Let me tell you first of all. I am a grown up. i appreciate your concern and I thank you for the love you have shown me.

Yes I have met with gold diggers. You know they are not that hard to spot. It's a matter of core values.

But it is the same meeting someone in a bar, two people talking together, what is the difference? You need to be discerning in all things.

But also spending time in the company of a beautiful woman is always a pleasure, regardless of the outcome. As long as you are respectful of each other.

I have not regretted any meeting despite not yet having found the "one". At each meeting I have learned something new about other people and about myself.

But like i always say "Stay safe" and that includes your heart and your wallet. Walk into the world with you both you heart and your eyes open.
