falling in love with someone online

Posted by Dr. Bob on February 2, 2013, at 22:03:31

Hi, everyone,

Got a call the other day from someone who wanted to interview me. Curious what you all think.

1) What makes people abandon rational thinking - i.e. falling in love with someone they've never met or seen in person; giving money to someone they've never met?
2) Is it desperation to believe? What makes them emotionally vulnerable?
3) Why do people fall prey to dating scammers?
4) What do people need to look for in themselves so they don't fall prey to dating scammers?
