Deception and Lying Destroys Relationships |
Earlier today I read an interesting article in the Tonawanda News from a columnist who decided to do some experimenting with online dating and write about it.
In the article, Tim Schmitt says:
"...So when I prepared for my first internet date, even though a buddy insisted I get more pictures, I didn’t listen. I punched up the profile of a cute girl with one tightly-cropped photo, took every word as if it were gospel, responded with a sweet message of my own and set up a romantic encounter at one of my favorite local restaurants, North Tonawanda’s Hideaway Lounge.
What I got was an education and a $100 tab..."
Turns out his date was a lot shorter and bigger than she had indicated. And in emails she had told him this was her first Internet date. But on the date she told him stories of other men she'd met online. Classic deception.
The story points out that even when you meet in person you don't really know the person you are with. For all you know, he or she may be a professional online dater.
If you catch a person lying on your first date, no matter how much you are attracted to him/her, run the other way. Deception is the biggest destroyer of relationships and marriages. The sooner you spot deception, the easier it is for you to get away from its creator.
Trust your instincts. |
