The disappearing act. Have you ever suffered that one? You date someone. They share all the details of their life with you. They talk about their family, divorce, fears, accomplishments, etc. They really suck you in and act as if they care about everything in your life, too. After more than eight dates, they just drop out of the clear blue. They stop calling with no explanation, no fight, nothing. Stay away from online men. They are all serial daters. It is all a game to them. The more insecure they are, the more women they want to date to boost their egos. Take it slow. Be sure he will be around four months from now. -- Lauren, 21
