Yeah I had the quote as my signature ages ago 😃.
Yea,I thought I had seen it as your signature a while ago. So my memory does not fail me. Yet. 😆
Not rejecting it outright, just treading it with a clear head. A couple years ago after my disastrous breakup, I was on POF, I started interacting with this White guy. He was older than me. I was 22 and he was 28. He was from the same city...we lived like an hour away from each other. So it would have worked. We had a great time online, we video chatted for a week, talked to each other for hours on end on the phone. Then after a week when we went out on a date finally, he was completely different from the image I had built in my head. I felt like someone had just splashed a bucket of cold ice water on my face. Sure, I went through the date with a smile on my face, but I was cringing from within. He looked the same of course, he was very chivalrous and sweet too. But I had built my expectations so high, the fall was as bad. When he tried to kiss me at the end, I had to turn away and just give him a hug. I made some excuse and left. Since then, I take it all with a pinch of salt. No expectations, no downfall. So yea falling in love online to me at least is a silly concept. Of course infatuation is only natural and nothing wrong with it. But love is serious business.
Woah was that an essay or what. 😆
