Anyone encounter someone always talk and without action? Sometimes it's waste of time when people like to just sweet talk and don't action. It's tired and I would rather a person really do it instead of always provide promise but never meant it. Losing trust let the chemistry fade away.
What is worse is beginning to fall for them only to discover they are a scammer, and in some ways, those that talk the talk but do not walk the walk, are no better. I believe it's best to keep an online friendship as just that, until you meet each other in person you both don't know if it could be more. You need to meet up quickly, but not easy if they live in another country so you have to trust they are who they say they are, and yes, sadly it could all be a waste of time, but you still try, and by keeping it as friends no one is hurt if it does fail to be any more than that.
