I should have elaborated when i said i fell for his charm. I meant it in a deeper sense. He charmed me by what i perceived to be the depth of his thinking and the way he accepted me so readily - flaws included - and with such great sweetness, no having to pass a lot of tests such as found in north america when dating. He seemed very liberal and an independent thinker, very modern in outlook and an interest in philosophy, and literature.

Even the music he chose for me to listen to was selected to portray an image of him as deep and soulful. It was these things more than his looks that caught me in his web. I now know that he was a brilliant con artist who had scripted the character he was portraying. The ultimate online predator. The devil himself.
