Why Love As We Know It Is Just An Illusion
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, and it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths.

There are many types of love. The passion is only one kind. The rootedness is another. There are more.

I think you are confusing sexual attraction for actual love, which is located in your Upper head.

I think it might be another scammer

@Amisja Cute pix of guy & dog, & legit question, coming from a man anyway.
Most definitely NOT a scammer.
The percentage of scammers on here is pretfy low, because there are no $$$ transactions of any kind.
I think you do yourself a disservice by assuming there are bunches of scammers on here, with zero evidence..why exactly do you think this is a scammer anyway?

@AnneWimsey I have been contacted so far by 4. He claims to be Australian but his English is poor. I have encountered several women and men who have fallen for scammers and ended sending them their life's savings

@Amisja Instead of worrying like this, why not just make it a firm rule that ANY mention of money, even a mention, earns a Block, and stop so much unnecessary worry?! Sit back & enjoy...they cannot Make you send money, and you know...in fact Judge Judy is very hard on people who give scammers money, and rightly so IMO. Trying to buy love...has that Ever worked?
And mot all Australians are native-borne english-speakers, you know, just sayin'

@AnneWimsey I would never enter into an online relationship. I would never send anyone money either (I don't have any to send). Its the vulnerable and lonely who concern me. Its wrong. So far I have never been wrong. Its a cruel thing to do to someone.

@Amisja statistics say, the Majority of relationshils now start online. Just use your common sense & get to know them online (do they respond to your Actual questions, for example) and meet in public places, no address given, until you feel completely comfortable.
On the otger handTed Bundy was a tall, handsome, charming well-off lawyer. But, no need to make yourself feel poorly about yourself because "only" scammers are out there. Yes, a nice person Could be interested in you!!!

@AnneWimsey I have a partner.

@Amisja then why waste one minute worrying about Any of the above????

@AnneWimsey I am a reasonably intelligent older woman. I have a long term partner. I am an able bodied professional. Others are not. Some people are lonely, vulnerable, less able bodied and open to abuse. I feel if is my duty to expose these people as the process of extracting money is beyond cruel. It is cruel to the vulnerable to the person who is the victim, to the individual whose profile is stolen and to the perpetrator who is often forced to interact with people half way round the globe for a pittance. The only person this is not cruel for is the owners of these mills. I heard one report estimate the practice at being worth $50 billion a year. Thats a lot of life savings. Now I see the original post has not replied. He has not offered a defence. Again this is usual. They tend to withdraw immediately they are exposed. Onward to the next one. Of course I may be wrong, I doubt it but if I were, I'd be the first to apologise.

@Amisja and if I were the OP, I would be both insulted and terrified, and not come back either...proves Nothing, and how do you know he comes on here all the time anyway? Maybe just once in awhile?!? Assumptions are extremely dangerous!
