This type of bait and switch has been popular on the net since there's been a net. They reel a person in with the bait, get the person to fall in love with them, make promises to meet and then PUFF! pull a switchero disappear. Who is the 'they' mentioned in this nasty scenario? Someone who has zero intention of actually meeting anyone in person. And they knew that all along. It's a deep betrayal and, like all betrayals, hurts like hell. But at least it's not personal. Once you're ready to try again (and do grieve for a bit and then pick yourself up and try again, don't let THAT bastard win), you need to take some steps to protect yourself. When getting to know someone, you have to establish their trustworthiness. And part of that is establishing some basics, even before you meet. Can you call him anytime? Is he 'always' in the bathroom or otherwise indisposed when you do call? Then he's married. Ask him to Skype right away. Not only do you get to see who he is, but you get to see if he lied, about age, weight, whatever. You also get the added advantage of body language and voice intonation. Then, before you get emotionally involved, set up a meet, preferably at your local munch. Why there? Not only is it public, you are letting the person know you are someone who takes steps to protect yourself. That you're savvy enough to know MOST (not all, but most) predators won't meet at a munch. Why? B/c news of what they're like does get around in the community, and they want to keep you ignorant for as long as possible. BTW: Never, ever, set up a dom/sub relationship with someone you've never met. Why would you do that? Until you meet in person and spend some time together, you don't really know who they are. Trust me on this. Even someone as experienced as I an be fooled by a person's online game. (I know this from cruel experience). So choose not to play the game. Just get to know them as a friend, and plan on meeting ASAP. Best, CP
