How I met Narissa...

I met Narissa over a year ago online. Neither of us had ever tried online dating before until then. I was tired of trying so hard to no avail and wanted to try something new. My cousin Chris signed me up with a profile on www.pof.com of course he asked me first if it would be OK and I said yes. I had someone contact me after a week that sounded promising. We went online and chatted for a super long time, around 8 hours straight. We had an awesome conversation and got to know each other really well, about our past, present and what we both wanted in the future. We ended the chat on a good note and set a time to come back to chat the next day. She said she was from Nigeria and sent pictures to me of her (wink wink). The next day we got on chat and she said she wanted to call me but she didn’t have any minutes on her cell phone. She asked me to go to her cell provider’s site and add some minutes to her cell phone. I went to the site and I knew right away it was a scam trying to steal my credit card information. I was furious!!! It was a scam all the time even during our 8 hour chat. This person spent a long time and a lot of effort spinning her web to entrap me to steal my information and my money. I sent her on her way… I decided to try and discover how she found me on the dating site. After I figured it out I decided to take a tour around the world looking at potential ladies :) I had an serious attraction to Asian ladies ever since I was a young kid or teenager. I still remember the first time my family went to a Chinese restaurant to eat. I was mesmerized at the beauty of the Chinese ladies working there. You can see where this it leading too LOL. I started looking at Asian countries to find the perfect lady for me. I went to the Philippines looking online and that is where I found Narissa. I contacted her through the web site and she responded back to me right away. I was not ready for a face to face chat because I had been lazy that day and slept in and my hair was a mess. When we started to chat Narissa insisted right away for a face to face chat on Yahoo Messenger. I tried in vain to put it off until another day but she insisted. I let her know that my hair was a mess but she still insisted. I gave in and we met online face to face on Yahoo Messenger. She said she wanted to make sure I was a real person and not someone playing games like what had happened to me that lead me to her. We had a wonderful chat that night. We had a lot of stuff in common and wanted the same things for our futures. I was so nervous because I didn’t know what was going too happened from here. I called Chris the next day and told him about Narissa and he warned me that she may be just using me to come to the States. I assured him that was not the case but he had planted a seed in my head and it slowly started to grow. Narissa and I chatted every day after we met and talked on the phone every day several times a day. She told me of her childhood and her customs and I was amazed at how much out thoughts and past were alike. I never asked her if she was using me to come to the States. Instead I kept looking for tell tell signs that was going to either prove it to be true or put it to rest. Well as you can guess by now she put all that to rest. I had more of my family tell me the same thing as well. They didn’t mean no harm as they were just looking out for me. To be continued tomorrow…
