I agree with gsotoday. Sometimes we are confident we got a feeling about what this person is just through email and phone. But the truth is while we consider this person as a friend after thousands of email, he might not necessarily think so. And we must always recognize the truth is that he might be also exchange thousands of emails with maybe at least one dozen women (you never know). Sometimes we think we are connected or even attached to that person, he may not be attached to you as you think he is. Maybe his email make you think he is attached, but he may not. After thousands of emails, he may just see you as one of his net friends. Or one of person in msn that he can just stop chatting for good when he feels like he doesn't want to chat anymore. I think ALL women should not get emotionally attached to a person who she never met. I tried online dating 10 years ago - I remember, 1998 when I was working in an Internet venture fund and think match.com is a wonderful Internet venture- and I think the reason I am still single is because I am still using online dating. It is hard to resist this dating site because it is hard to meet someone in real world. But the reality is that match.com's interests is against the interests of its members. I think as a matter as fact, the marketing tactics match.com is doing is only to defeat its purpose. After you met someone, match.com is sending this person 'your latest matches' twice a week to his email box. Match.com is sending all 'new winks' and 'new emails' to this person who you just met and who you are thinking of having a child with him! I like the business model of all social networking site, but I think this type of personal matching really should under more close investigation of if it really work (that's why they put 'it works!!! on their homepage?)
