Social Media is intertwining in my life and it's freaking me out!!

Ok, so let's see if you can follow this one, friends!!?

Last night I was on Facebook, on my phone, right? I clicked on 'friend requests' by accident but before clicking back out of the option, I saw 'people you might know' which is a prompt I'd never looked at previously. Here's the crazy-crazy part;

1. I had a French scammer named Amou
2. Facebook recommended an Amou with the same last name but his photos looked slightly different - however - they were all with his son whom scammer Amou told me all about, by name
3. Facebook recommended a man called Edison right under Amou...he, in fact, had the profile pic that my  scammer Amou used on the dating website. 100% sure. his page showed no kid in site....

My questions - how did Facebook know about Amou? How did they know that Edison used Amou's pic in his online profile on a dating website? I have never heard from someone calling himself Edison!!
Lastly, are Amou & Edison partners in crime or did Edison steal Amou's profile/use a faux child with the same name as real Amou's to garner sympathy?

Mind. Blown. I almost friended them both to ask these questions but quickly thought better of it. This path will not lead me to LOVE, just to insanity and insecurity and I have plenty of those qualities on my own, thank you.

15 min later. I did it. I messaged them both thru FB. Can't help it. Curiousity killed the cat and all of that....

I don't know what the story is between you & Amou  (last name)...you both joined in February, your photo was definitely used on my dating website under his name, and whichever of you I was talking to tried to tell me that you/he were in South Africa with your son...and desperate for money. It was a really unkind thing to do. I hope that you don't try to scam anyone else. The weirdest part is that you were both suggested to me yesterday as 'people you might know' - how Facebook recognized Amou's name and your pic, I will never know. Very big brother. so we are all being watched. Act like a gentleman. Sarah

It is official - I have chatted with too many widowers.

Firstly; this may sound harsh, but please let me explain. I have had 2 self-proclaimed widowers try to scam me back to back. Andre, Dutch, and Amou, French. Stories of small children being involved and down-on-their-luck drama ensued, both stories were ugly.

Second, the other kind of widower that seems to find me is the (what I can assume is) legit man who is very, very anxious to settle down again and to find a suitable mother for his child. This is not always flattering. I sort of feel like anyone with a kind heart and a child of their own qualifies.

Today I received an email from a man who wanted to get 'back in touch' with me after our apparent months of separation. He said that he has been traveling to Estonian at Muhumaa Island, which he says is an island in the Baltic Sea. I am sure that it is. I am sure that he knows where he was on the map and being that I fail most of the geography questions in Trivial Pursuit, I'm taking his word as to where this island is. What I don't remember is who this man is?? I have absolutely no recollection of his name, any conversations with him, never mind giving him my personal email address? I find this unnerving. Am I that jaded/insensitive/flaky/un-discerning? Or is he using another name because he is a scammer and has forgotten the original name that he used with me? Do you see what's happening here? I'm becoming paranoid.

Perhaps I have been online for too long. But where is my proof, the declaration of adoration of my very soul, my 'it was all worth it' moment?

How to answer him........

I will figure it out, but let me first go and peruse the site one more time...

2 profiles that have made me aware that I may be burning out quickly on the online thing....

First, this morning, I see this one. Now...if he copied it from a female friend's page, great. I'm with him. Maybe he loved what she said. but now...has he even heard of proof-reading? Changing little things like gender might have been helpful:

A little about me...

I am loving,caring,romantic,easy going,honest,family oriented,God fearing,down to earth,i am new here as a friend told me about this site,so i am here with a good faith to see if i can find that loving man that the Lord has created for me alone because i am a one girl to one boy type,i do not welcome the ideal of having more than one man in my life.i am not here for games and i do not welcome it in any form,as i am openminded and i do not have time for any kind

About the one I'm looking for...

Searching for a man that is honest,caring,easy going,romantic,family oriented,a loving man,a man that truly wants to be married and be with one woman till death do us part,a man that does not bring in friends into her relationship,because relationship is for two people and not for the world,a man that will not compare me to her ex,a man that love kids...

I'd just like to add...

My mum bring out the best of me...and i do like to go to beach reading and fishing ....

This person....well they may just be more intellectual than I am but I have no energy to try to figure him out. a bit too.....just a bit too.

A little about me...

I have known for a long time now that my existence is a fluke. I was never meant to be, nor were any saints or evil people. Everyone of them and us are a link in the chain reaction set off by some unknown event in history of material physics. And yet we perceive ourselves metaphysically.
So, I know that each breath I take is a breath stolen from nothingness. Every day I exist, every word I utter, every thing I do - all is born out of nothing. I create it and I destroy it.

About the one I'm looking for...

some one who is loving caring,honest,faithful and would want our relationship to last a life time..

I'd just like to add...

having a good relationship is having agood life..

I am not a fat girl, but...

I am working on getting into healthier, better shape. And I do not even see the most remote chance that I would ever be interested in a man who has this in his profile. Why he is has viewed me more than once I have no idea. But I will never speak to him. On behalf of all of us fat girls. Even if I get - no, especially if I get into killer shape.

"I like a woman who is in shape and is sexy and confident, I prefer slender athletic tone if u avetrage that fine but be average please dont waste our time. 

Please ladies place a full body photo on your page. I will not consider anyone who states average then only has facial photos. Ladies here's the cold hard fact those that only place a face photo are fat fat fat you not average so don't waste my time"

I am sure it is not my most mature moment, but I messaged him and told him that he is the most shallow man I have come across in six months online. I know that he won't care, but it felt good. He should probably know that his grammar might even be less appealing than if he had been "fat."
