Are You Too Smart to Be Conned?

Most of us may think we are too smart to be conned. This is just what the con artist counts on--an element of denial working in you while they work their magic on you. As the saying goes, "Love is blind," and while your intentions are based on giving and receiving; theirs are based on taking whatever they can, and then leaving you.

In my blind spot, an adept con artist came along who courted and married me with the intent to take my home, business, money, credit, and identity. And although these cases are increasingly commonplace, it's unlikely to happen to you. However, in this era of easy anonymity, any one of us can fall prey to the "Person on the Take," who may be hiding behind a false identity.

In "Oops, I Married a Con Artist, And Dating Wisdom for the 21st Century," I define 10 levels of the Love Predator. The Love Predator is unwilling or unable to invest themselves in a relationship. And they don't have to be an accomplished con artist to locate your love-is-blind-spot, and rip you off!

On the quest for love, risks and dangers may include a betrayed heart, abandonment disorder, loss of self-esteem, trust, and time; as well as damage to your psyche, making it more complex to attract the love of your life. Use wisdom, and a Dating ID, when looking for romance and dating success in the 21st Century.
