[Blindtlk] Online Dating

[Judy Jones]

The scary thing about all this is that a clever 13-year-old could get online 
and pretend to be anybody.  I know there are successful relationships that 
have started with online dating, but one can't be too careful.  I still say, 
go with a background check.

Picture worth a thousand words?  I think not:  at least to me.  To me, the 
picture, however good or bad it may look, is worse than useless.  To me, 
it's the voice that says it all.  Believe me, you can tell way more about a 
person just by listening to what they say:  and, much more importantly, the 
way they say what they say.  As a vinyl record I once heard in my childhood 
says,
"Your voice is an individual possession.  No one else has one just like it. 
This is true because of your particular physical make up, and the manner in 
which you use your voice.  Your voice usually reflects your state of mind, 
and, and reflects your personality.  In fact, your voice is you."
IF, though, you feel the picture is that important, you should have him put 
one up and if he doesn't know how, be willing to help in this.


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray
