I feel as though I dodged a bullet in the last few days. first some background.

As I have written in the past on this forum, I am W/M ,widower 52 years of age. Just for further clarification, I am probably considered somewhat good looking, slightly affluent, etc.. (enough of me talking about me, why don't you talk about me for a while)lol

For the past few months, I have come into contact with a woman I've know for several years.

During these dates for several reasons we have NOT been intimate. But during computer communications or on the phone, she talks a great game, describing in detail our next encounter and such. She has repeatedly attempted to arrange to "hook up" with me. (An idea, that I have resisted for several reasons, just write off as differences).

Now the report of the gunshot. As recently as a few days ago, she was still enticing me to be intimate. LAST NIGHT, she advised me that she believes she is pregnant with her (former ?) boyfriends baby.

I know I have a cynical outlook on life, but I can't help but think I was being "set up" to be declared the daddy.

Believe it or not, this comes as a relief to me, as it gives some creedence to my ill feeling about the relationship.

WHAT SAY YOU.

RUN!

She sounds like she is up to no good. There are plenty of great ladies out there that do not have to sell you on their "fantastic" attributes.

Its sounds to me she's going through an uncivil manner. Women as a whole, esp. women my age, they're up to no good and would do what they could to ruin a good man's life.

You used up all of your good luck karma.

Don't expect to win the lotto any time soon.

Of course in a way you did win the "lotto"

There was a tread about how long to wait in a relationship before engaging in sex. Your experience is a good argument for a 6 month waiting period. Or at least waiting for a period.

I'm going to go with the group here, you dodged the BIG one. It's unfortunate and sad that a woman her age (assuming she is old enough but still within child bearing years) and not some young 18 year old (LOL) would stoop to such a low place. I would love to believe that when you get older you stop with the mind games, but apparently not.
Be glad you had the wherewithall to avoid such a disasterous ending!
