Reader Question #2
I met up with a woman that I met online and, after a couple of dates, I realized that we were not a match. She became slightly crazy and began stalking me. I finally got rid of her after a few months. Now I want to get back into the online dating scene, but have some reservations. Can you please tell me what I should and should not do when it comes to online dating? Is there any way to ensure that I won’t meet a second psycho and get cyber-stalked again?

Julie Spira’s Answer:
Every man fears that the next woman he will meet will turn out to be nuts. Everyone is usually on good behavior for the first 3 months of a relationship.
Being cyber-stalked is uncomfortable and I am sure you don’t want a repeat performance. I suggest that you go back online, refresh your profile name with a brand new headline, change a few photos, and jump back on that cyber-dating saddle.
Date a few women at a time until you feel comfortable that the person you like the best fits your requirements.
Bad behavior when someone gets dumped just can’t be avoided. Don’t rush into taking your profile down or requesting that a woman do the same until you know that your feelings are mutual. And do your best to avoid the cyber-stalkers from now on. Good luck!

“Every man fears that the next woman he will meet will turn out to be nuts.”
That does sum it up for a lot of us.
Also liked what you suggest about putting a pause on the profile.
