Online Dating: A Cautionary Tale
Can we talk about online dating for just a minute???? For those of us old enough to remember "old school" dating (i.e. meeting a cute boy from the all-boys school at Catholic Youth Group, to feeling "chemistry" with your lab partner in...well...college chem class...to being set up on a blind date with your husband post-college...) neither I nor any of my girlfriends seemed to have had a problem meeting kind, intelligent, men-of-character. But fast-forward 30+ years...and many of us find ourselves single either by divorce or widowhood...and dating is a "whole thing"...and it's not very "whole"some. Take the above posted "friend request"...*insert eye roll* These types of con artists are always easy to spot. They're typically "widowers" who are "orthopaedic surgeons" that work on "oil tankers" or for the "United Nations" and usually use images from men who have had their identities stolen
