#1I stink at dating and am even worse with breaking up. I hate the thought of hurting someone’s feelings and try to convince myself I am doing everyone a favor by not wasting time or letting feelings become deep. I’ve realized there is no perfect time and the “It’s me, not you” is a legitimate …

My last post referred to imposters and my belief one “online” guys was in fact a phony or prison inmate. (Not to offend anyone, I hear there are many innocent people in jail. I know I don’t want to deal with that drama.) My belief this guy is full of it is pretty solid. He …
