The soap opera continues pt 1: I signed up to a site so i could set up a blog for my travels next year (nippon, oz, merika). The site also serves as an online community where people can view your profile and chat. I wasn't particularly interested in that side of it (i swear!) So a few days later after signing up, I got a message form an American woman, H, who was interested in chatting to Irish people as her granny was an Irish immigrant.. It all seemed harmless enough as her profile said married and she had 4 kids. We had a few correspondences and I found her quite clued in. - chatting about things like Bush, the war, fuel shortages, organic food and topics of general concern and well-being. She was into herbology and was building her own house, was a poet and a bit of a ….. white witch, for lack of a better word.. I found her quite interesting. I sort of decided it'd be cool to have her as a pen-pal of sorts as I never had one and we got on well. We promised each other a mix-tape of music and I liked the idea of sending her over a package of tapes, stones from the beach, which she was into and bits and bobs like that.. I’m sure she’d love BoC and Aphex’s ambient stuff. Then on the weekend she said that she was interested in using an instant messager service to chat live. We talked about music, family and relatiosnhips and it slowly became apparent that she wasn't a happy camper. Turns out she had a husband that she had rushed into marriage with and that they now slept seperately. She sent me some photos of herself, one or 2 of her kids and started getting quite flirty. Being a single chappy and, finding her quite attractive looking I responded in kind, not seeing the harm at all. This quickly turned into promises to visit each other. Then she revealed some terrible family secrets she had been through… very severe stuff that I sure you could imagine. She pressed my sympathy buttons and I found myself ringing her and having big chat. |

pt 2. It wasn’t long then that she started sending messages ending in “love, H” and talking about me being her soulmatea and kindred spirit! This was about 3 days after she first contacted me. I hinted at her to relax a bit, not wanting to completely rubbish her as she genuinely seemed emotionally delicate. She became impatient to hear from me and declared that she had found her one true love and how could she continue with her life there without me. Yes…. That’s exactly what I though “jesus h tap-danicng christ on a bike”. So I politely told her that things had spiraled out of control, that I thought she was emotionally vunerable due to her family situatiom and stuck in a loveless marriage. I warned her about the dangers of the internet, how its really easy to spill your guts, to fill in the gaps when people chat., creating false perception of people on-line and that she should consider all this and sort her marriage out if she’s unhappy. I said I’d email after a week or 2 to see how she was and that it was important for her to take a step back and perhaps tell her sister, who she was close to, about it all. I was hoping someone in her life would snap her out of it. She sent a few mails then saying she was going to close her account and it was up to me to ring or write to her. She said her husband knew and read of all our correspondences but was happy she had found some sort of companionship as she didn’t want it from him. I felt really shit that I was somehow poking my oar into a marriage, no matter how messed up it was, and told her that I thought we were privately chatting.. After her account closed, I got a message from a guy called B. Yes, the husband. He said his wife was “real hurting” that I stopped corresponding and that he was glad she found love with me and that I messed up with a woman who was the best person in the world. So here I was getting messages for the husband who knew everything and was encouraging me to stay in touch! |

pt 3 Then H sent a message with his account saying how she had disappeared from home the previous night and was very distraught at the whole thing. I again told her to try and get a grip on reality and again explained the dangers of the net on emotionally vunerable people.. I had a deep feeling of regret of letting it all get this far and feel extremely sorry for her. Because we had actually talked and she even had me say hello to her 8 year old kid, I didn’t see this as some bizarre scam as many might think. I actually take the entire situation at face value and am concerned about this strange woman thousands of miles away. I’ll write her on the weekend and see how she is. It’s totally messed up! Sure I fell for it all and a lot of the blame goes with me playing along the first few days… but now its starting to read like a Coen Brothers movie and I just can’t help feeling something for this person. It seems I too must be a little vunerable too to get involved like this. It’s weird. I guess it’s the drama of it all that’s so alluring. Then I think the whole thing could be some twisted scam and the 2 of them are in it together. I just don’t know to be honest. My brain tells me to let it go and not to bother with them again.. but I sort of started believing her soul-mate stuff……..how ironic! |

Hey, i'm as spiritual as the next guy but... at one with her? Yikes. She was very pretty... she sort of got to me... a sad life, and a sad husband. Real small town america twin peaks territory. |

A woman with kids carries much baggage. Get out now. If the husband cares so much it is his time to patch things up. Make your own kids, dont take on someone elses!! :D Good read! |

no worries there..... i seen this weirdness all over d'interweb but to see it coming straight at me like Slimer was a bit mad. I may just email her in a few days.... just to see if she's woken up a bit. After that, the proton partical accelerator gun is coming out. I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, the fool that i am. |

the insanity continues.... got back to chattimng with this gal and she eased off on the love stuff for a while. Then it started again, she said she spent 2 days crying when i hadn;t talked to her. She said she wanted to send me amix tape like i said i would to her and she ended up burning 20 cd's of random tunes form her collection for me. She through a wobbly wehn i signed off cos my lates had called over and it's been revealed that she's a jesus freak. I thought this was agreat opprtunity to get into a rational debate about god and and shit and she just answered withe usual faith bullshit and bible quote riddles. I'm biored wiht the whole thing now an dam leaving it well enough alonebut eh CD's are on their way to me anyway. 20cd's of christian rock probably... yikes! |

Ah you gotta love internets relationships. My gf currently has an African stalker who keeps leaving messages on her answerphone after she (rather foolishly) put her personal mobile number in the signature of her work email. |

It has been about a month and he has been ringing 2/3 times a week so far. She has so far managed to avoid answering it when he has called (she's effectively white listing calls based on whether or not the caller's name is on the screen/in her address book). I'd say give it another 2 weeks and if it persists, get a new number. Her number is a pretty desirable one (I won't give it out, but something along the lines 01223456789), hence her reluctance to get rid of it, but on the plus side she'd get a bit of cash for it. |

there but for the grace of god goes keyfumbler himself. there are a lot of weird people out there, though. for example, me. once i posted on a message board in the guise of notorious paranoid schizophrenic francis e. dec, esquire (back when the interweb was "new" to me), and everything i posted was an insane rant about the frankenstein earphone radio computer god conspiracy, which didn't stop some lady from trying to hook "francis" into a private "chat." yikes, sodium pentathol really makes me talky. i'm gonna go lie down now. |
