This is hard, so please bear with me.
Yes, I used to meet in Real Life with men, women, and a few very sweet couples. They would travel here and we would meet, and sometimes have a WONDERFUL time in bed ( or at the beach or a pool or.. well, you know...) sometimes just have fun dancing, clubbing, or shopping. Some of the sexual experiences were a little ordinary, but the added spice of sex with a stranger, a person that I only knew from a chat room added a little something.
I thought I was being so careful and clever... having some really interesting fun and sometimes erotic experiences.
Until the time I arranged to meet with a man from Atlanta that I had met in (another room).
I ALWAYS meet first in a public place, a cafe or club, and I bring along a friend.
I waited in a Bourbon street club with a girlfriend for 3 hours, and he never showed up. We gave up, and she and I went dancing.
The next night, he was in chat when I entered.
HE WAS WATCHING ME THE WHOLE TIME!!
He had been spying on us, followed us around, and then followed me home!
This was the begining of a nightmare.
He spent the next 15 weeks stalking me.
It was a horrible, stressful, at times terrifying time on my life.
The police did what little they could for me, but I didn't even know his real name until much later.
I was even interviewed for a story on the dangers of internet dating!
When he was eventually arrested for parole violation (!),
I gave away my beloved Dell, and was off line for almost a year.
When a friend gave me his old Apple computer, a Macintosh, and I opened a new internet account, I had to promise my partner, and all my friends that I would only chat, never meet, no phone, no mail, nothing but chat.
I still am a little nervous, worried that I share too much about myself, where I live, and what I look like, but I am NOT GOING TO BE AFRAID!!

Love,
Wanda
