I have become good friends with BonBon. I flew up two years ago to New Hampshire to meet her and her family. While laid over in Cincinatti at the airport on my way up I had coffee with ADPZ (another internet friend). This passed Feb she(BonBon) came down to North Carolina to meet my family. We are constantly in touch over the phone. We talk about everything there is to talk about. We laugh, bitch, and compare our lives.

I've met a lot of people off the net. Some friends... some more. The guy I am dating now I met on the net. But things are NEVER as you imagine them to be. The one person who was true to the picture in my mind, ended up being married. And he had failed to tell me that until AFTER I got home and had all these feelings. Nice huh? I think internet relationships are built on fantasy. Sometimes they come true... sometimes they don't. Everyone has their reasons for being on the net... something they are missing which they are looking to fullfill.

ok, time for my sob story (and it truly IS a sob story).

about a year and a half ago, i met a girl on a message board. she told me that she'd read my posts for a LONG time and really fell for the way i talked or was nice to people. she messaged me and asked for my email address, so i obliged. she emailed me 3 times, telling me she had a boyfriend that she loved and that she just wanted to get to know me better. after a few days, she asked for my phone number, again i obliged (she was a very sweet girl).

soon after, she started calling me, EVERY day. i enjoyed it because it was great talking to her. well, within a month or so, she was telling me that she had actually had feelings for me before she ever talked to me. she sent pics of herself to me thru snail mail and i sent some of me thru email to her. for some UNGODLY reason, she actually thought i was sexy and hot (which, as you all know, I'M NOT--at least i don't think so). i had met her in November of 1999 and by December she was calling me all the time and telling me she liked me. BUT, the clincher hit on December 31, 1999--she called me late that night to wish me a Happy New Year and then paused for a moment on the phone. then she said something i wasn't expecting. she said, "Brian, I LOVE YOU......with all of my heart". i was shocked and didn't believe that someone could actually love ME. but there it was, in my face and i had to deal with it. i told her the same--ever since i heard her voice, i fell for her as well.

she was absolutely gorgeous in her pics, so it was still hard for me to figure out how someone so beautiful could love me of all people. i know i'm sweet and caring, but i've never thought of myself as cute or sexy. anyway, she told me that her and her boyfriend were getting into arguments because he found out she was talking to me. she told me she loved me and not him anymore. he was mentally hurting her because he felt he could talk to girls and his ex girlfriend, but she couldn't speak with ANY guys. i thought that was kinda fucked up, so i told her to ignore him and keep talking to me if she really wanted to. i would say she DID--she racked up over $1000 in cell phone calls to me in one month! she was a nurse at a hospital in Ohio, so she had the money for that, i guess. she began sneaking around calling me, writing me, and sending me ALL KINDS of gifts thru the mail (stuffed animals, candles, you name it).

i fell so completely in love with her that i didn't see what was coming about 5 months later. we kept talking on the phone, writing each other and planning her trip to visit me in June. we had plans of either her moving here and transferring to this hospital OR me moving there to be with her. this went on for months and in April--near her birthday, she began talking of this guy who was a friend of hers who was her escort for her friend's wedding she was in. needless to say, i felt my heart sink some--she began talking more and more about him--and how they were JUST FRIENDS. apparrently NOT, or she wouldn't have gone out on a date with him and her sister and brother in law. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif hearing that hurt me a lot. here SHE was the one pursuing ME and now that i fell for her, she was now doing the same thing her boyfriend had done to her before--she was mentally hurting me. well, i kept telling her that i loved her and would always be there for her, but suddenly she changed on me. she began telling everyone i was stalking her! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif most of you know me and KNOW that i'm a gentleman and would NEVER do a thing like that. she told everyone i wasn't a good guy and that i had become "overzealous in my pursuit of her". say WHAT?!?! she came after ME and i fell in love with her. i guess it's wrong for me to tell her i love her, want to spend my life making her happy, and that i'd love to have a family with her someday. she called me and told me it was over.....and i fell to my knees crying my heart out. yes, me, Spike--crying my heart out---you'll never know how much pain i was in that day. i suddenly felt i was no good for anyone or anything. i sat in front of a mirror picking apart the way i look because i thought it was because i was ugly that she suddenly dumped me. and i KNOW it was for this new guy she met. god, it hurt me so much. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif

but, i've had plenty of time to heal and i'm feeling much better now! a part of me will always still care for her (at least as a friend), but now i realize just how much of a bitch someone can actually be. i told her NOT to send me all of those gifts, but she said she wanted to and that it was just how she was. she left one boyfriend for me, but somehow fell for this third guy and left me in the dark. i even mentioned him to her and she said they were NOT dating and were only friends. yeah, and my name's not Brian is it? i asked her if we could at least remain friends, but she laughed at that and never spoke to me again. her last words were on a message board to me. i said i'd still like to be friends and talk to her, then i closed it with, "love, Brian". all she replied with was, "as if". that crushed me too.

ok, enough of the sad stuff--this is why i joke around so much about everything--i'm afraid of letting my true feelings out about things. anyone else had a broken heart this bad at some point in time?

Wow... That's intense. What have we learned today? Maybe it's never trust people, maybe it's that people you love will RRRIP your heart out sooner or later, maybe it's women aren't to be trusted, maybe it's none of the above. Time will tell. Take care of yourself... and eachother.

Thank you for sharing this fantastic article. It is quite beneficial to our young people who are looking for the ideal partner. This service can help you with your dating.

It’s important to prioritize open communication and mutual respect, especially when exploring specific connections, such as for example transgender hookup. Understanding boundaries and discussing expectations upfront can help build trust and create a safer space for both individuals. From my experience, taking time to verify the authenticity of profiles is crucial. This might include video calls or chats to ensure both parties feel comfortable. It’s also wise to keep initial conversations on the platform until you feel confident moving to other forms of communication. Safety comes first—sharing personal information like your address should only happen when there’s mutual trust. Online platforms can connect people with shared interests, but patience and clear communication are essential for creating genuine connections in a respectful and secure way.
