Nigerians are notorious for using the internet for a myriad of schemes here in Africa. I know one should not generalize, but trust me on this one - unless you actually saw the sick relative, forget it. I one worked with a Nigerain whose mother died three times in the five months we were colleagues! Tread careful around anything or anybody that approaches you via the internet from Nigeria.

Especially since your feelings were sincere and unaffected. I'm glad you didn't get scammed, yet I'm sure you probably feel you were anyway. Thanks for sharing this though.

Nobody in their right minds falls for this kind of scam anymore. Seriously....this has to be a joke. This is a joke, right? Nobody in their right minds falls for this kind of scam anymore.

I want you to be my wife. My heart melted when I saw your picture,” he wrote not ten minutes into our chat.</i> That was your first clue. No-one says that kind of shit except a scammer. I mean, sorry to say this, but if that is your pic up top, then forget about people falling in love with you because of your looks. This whole article, though, to me, smacks of bullshit, simply because the person in question claims to be a lesbian, but is tempted by some guy. That in itself is suspicious. “I love you.

I'm kind of tired of disaffected straights and bi's claiming they're lesbians when they're not. I've gotten in arguments with women before about this: lesbian = sexually and emotionally interested in WOMEN. Not "women with the occasional man". Not "mostly women, usually only when I'm feeling fat and lonely and men have dissed me". Not "I'm gonna get those evil men back! Watch me kiss a girl! Oh, lulz, lulz!" It means we date, have sex with, and love, WOMEN. No men need apply. Ever. Period. No wonder all men think all lesbians are fat, homely and have six cats. Guess I better stop being Vegan, remove my lipstick and get rid of my dog. "Who could resist a blah blah blah man". Get real, sister. ALL OF US. I’m lesbian and I agree with Richard.

I was wondering (and hoping lol). maybe you're being too radical about it anyway, isnt there many ways to be a homosexual? Many levels of the personality can be involved, I believe. thanks for clarifying, H.
