cyberhonesty

Sometimes i wonder why i do the things that i do. Sure, meeting someone new is always exciting but when you've just started talking to somebody you haven't met yet, should you start complying with their requests? It's hard not to. For me, at least. Requests may come in during the day while i'm at work and i could simply say that i've complied without actually doing so, but then i'm overcome by this sense that i would be letting him down and i can't really cope with it. So i comply. i follow the requests of the exciting stranger behind the text message. And i've never been much for online/on-the-air games but it's hard to deny him what he wants when my instinct is to try and please him. I have to say similar experiences in the past have been quite disappointing. The more there's been pre-encounter activity, the less has the encounter been likely to actually happen, or lead to anything regular, or positive. Or both. But what can i say, ironically i'm rather optimistic in general and open every new chapter with a clean slate. It's not an effort, it comes quite natural.
