Wake up and BE SMART

Submitted by wake up ladies (United States), Apr 23, 2013 at 23:22

I've been reading this forum and I'm just so blown away at the idiocy that is contained in them- no offense ladies!!

I too was once like you. I was 22, had just broken up with a very decent and nice guy- who is thankfully now my husband- and was completely swept off my feet by a handsome charming Indian guy who was an exchange student. Not only was he wildly handsome and charming he was also very rich! And he made sure to let the whole world know. We had an intense romance and we went out on lavish dates. I was hooked. Then, all of a sudden I told him I was falling for him and then nothing. He only returned my calls when he wanted to hang out with me and I was pretty sure by then he had other girls. I was lucky enough to have prebooked a semester abroad in the next month- if not I think I may have been a complete mess for much longer than I was. I still look back at that relationship and just think how scary and how much of a nightmare it was and how much i lost myself in the process even if it was only a short while. After him I now look at all middle eastern men differently sad to say. I meet many of them where I live an now the sweet sayings and lavish gestures don't phase me at all.

Ladies please use common sense, why give your heart to someone you meet ONLINE?! It just doesn't make sense. Any man that asks for money or special favors is using you- I don't know how that could be any more clear. Use your COMMON SENSE. I read some if these stories and im just AMAZED at how blinded some women are. I guess it's true that love makes you do crazy things.

Good luck to all of you ladies.
