Let me run this by you all... I've tried a few online dating sites, and lately Match.com. "Met" a few men but once I got to know them better, I started to shy away. Most I find aren't all that truthful or honest in their profiles. About 2 months I started corresponding with this one gentleman via email. In my emails I made it very clear a partner should be athletic/outdoorsy etc. He said he was, that he loved cycling, hiking etc. Note his profile also said he was 6'1" etc.

Well we talked by phone and finally agreed to meet. I went to his house. When I got to the door, a man opened it and I almost said "where's Scott? Is he here?" Turned out Scott was not all that honest with me. The least of which he was only 5'5" tall (I'm 5'9"), very overweight, in poor health etc. He was very sweet but clearly very lonely, desperate and needy. I politely let him know I didn't think he was a match for me but if he needed someone to talk with, he could call. Long story short, his health has gotten worse. Recently, due to serious diabetes, he had his leg amputated. He calls, wants to talk and wants me to visit. I feel so guilty but I hardly know him and frankly can't take this on in my life right now. I am at a loss what to do. Part of me says it's not my problem but the other part says I should be a good samaritan and go visit Scott.

Anyway, I am so off these dating websites. Just too superficial. I find people tend not to be truthful (come on - don't they realize I can see the photo is 20 years old?!?!?). I would like to meet someone special but I'm thinking it will happen will it happens, naturally, through cycling or some of my other outdoor activities.
