Voldemort has always been afraid to be alone. That's why he married his now ex-wife. He's been on the Internet dating scene for the last little while, and he seems pretty determined in finding the next girlfriend. He says he wants to meet people, make friends, blah blah blah but every single girl he meets, he is looking for long-term potential. He hasn't said he's not looking for a relationship right now. Oh wait. he was about to have "the talk" with this girl he dated for a couple of weeks. But then she broke things off before he had his chance. He was heartbroken but then realised he didn't miss her but was just lonely. That didn't stop him from visiting her again, trying to rekindle a friendship. (When she dumped him, he had said there was no point to being friends with her.)

Maybe I just got cynical with Internet dating or maybe I gained a lot of experience -- I don't know. But people are not always honest in their profiles, and a lot of things people say are subjective. Perhaps he needs to take more with a grain of salt. People who have done their fair share of Internet dating with no goal of meeting "the one" tend to view people as expendable.

Anyway, he just sent me an email saying this his ex girlfriend from Korea called him, and he said "at least she can be my backup." Holy ...He visited her twice; the second visit taught him that they weren't compatible or perhaps the cross-cultural communication was too difficult. And the distance is still a factor. What would be the point of pursuing things?

He's not desperate yet, but I think he would benefit from spending time alone, without focusing on dating and to just enjoy his independence.
