  • Hi dear Maryam

    thanks a lot for your kind reply...

    you are absolutely right...
    one shouldn't trust easily to give away his/her ID or phone number...

    thanks and have a truthful life:)

    hi all
    thanks to have such a nice topicto be honest, I'll say that I trust my online friends but I always remind my self that every thing can be a lie .That's why ,I have my own red lines .For example: I can't give my Id OR my number for any of my online friends but I can tell them about my gender, real name,age and such simple things like that.
  • Hi dear Nafis

    your answer is brief and complete...thanks a lot as always you have nice replies...
    you are absolutely right...
    it is hard to fool sb for a long time...but what if the person being played with is him/herself a fool?!

    have a nice time all being told the truth :)

  • Dear Zahra,
    First, I would like to know the meaning of "sb" Zahra.

    This is really a very nice topic. I have been fooled by a woman here when I was still new. After that I thought for a while and asked myself if that's really a she (or a he). But just trusting her introduction here as a she, she made me believe of what she was telling me. I felt bad of course but it's up to her, she knew what she did.

    If you have been following the English Club rules and guidelines, this isn't a problem at all. If you trust someone else that is already your personal choice. You would see some warnings being shown at the right side of your screen every once in a while, on what to do and not to do.

    We have to bear in mind that this is a public site. People that come and go are coming from different places so expect that you will meet dishonest people, just like in our actual life. It's not always that we are with people whom we trust but still we see some signs if they deserve to be trusted or not.

    Don't get me wrong, I am not a perfect person I still meet dishonest people and also I am not here to prove myself. But we shoud all admit and accept the fact that we all learn something here and could have benefitted from being here... :-)

    Have a nice day!

  • Hi zahra
    I think everyone say's lie is miserable and sentiment deficit!!!
    lie in all of situation is very bad!!!
    truth can help you until in very bad situation!!! because if you for once time say lie, you force say lie again again and again!!
  • Hi Zahra
    Yes, it is bad behaviour to tell lies. As I think it is difficult to know if your friend online honest or not. But we should choose the suitable and the authoritative sites to make friends on the net. Thanks for your topic.
