Yup we tend to put our good foot forward, that is true online and in real life, the difference is when the relationship is around the corner, whether it be friendship or love affair you get a better glimpse of how a person lives. No matter how many Skype or honeymoonish visits you have, i feel you still cannot possibly know how someone really lives/behaves until you make the jump. We all want the fairy tale, some people want the fantasy to become reality.
And i feel the truth is once you brag about you being the newest *one true love* of someone who has been around the block, it's hard to save face when it all goes sour, because everyone already knew where it was heading.
i tend to believe people, it's hard for me to comprehend that people would hide their *stuff* to be discovered later, but they do. Even on a friendship level i don't get it.
i try to be the same online than i am in person. i've tried to be honest about my shortcomings and my *stuff* so there are no surprises. i try to be honest about the way i want to live and my expectations in life. i hope i have succeeded in doing that.
