My question is kind of along these lines: if someone is on a dating site and is pretending to be someone or something they are not what are they actually getting out of it?

I have been exchanging mails with a man who is an italian businessman, an engineer who travels the world. Bottom line is that he wants to buy me presents, says he has fallen for me and basically he seems too good to be true in the things he says to me. He says he is a widow and that I now have his heart etc.

Im dubious until I actually meet him. What would be the point of someone pretending to be someone or something they are not? Surely after I've met him I will know whether he is genuine or not?

Is there a dating site for would-be Dinkies (Double Income, No Kiddies)?

Khandro, some people don't have to go on dating sites, they just do because it's another perfectly viable way of meeting people, and why not!
Liquidspace, if his only fault so far is being a bit too needy and wanting to buy you stuff then take it as that, something that raises suspicion.
I don't see the benefit in assuming anyone trying to be nice to you is in it...

cazzz I had seen him on cam and seen numerous pictures. After his confession he said he got them (and the cam clip) from a website so the person I was seeing on cam wasn't actually sitting there in real time. Glad I was dubious and have reported him on various sites. Problem is that I now trust nobody!!
