You are absolutely right about Carl. Mr Right mislead me too. With the I love you forever. I'm sure I have been called the psycho-ex. Atleast you weren't out 800.00. Lost dreams of marriage and even picking out wedding rings, engagement rings, and the future plans. We were going to get married, but it seemed that everything i said seemed to pierce his sensitive ego. My last conversation with him ended badly on 04-25-08. He has yet to tell me exactly what I did to make him feel like I didn't exist. I found you by accident looking at blogs. The coincidence was too much then you mentioned the 17 yr old daughter. Th e only thing you lacked was sushi at Koi Kawa, purple hair, Mollie(his dog), and Mom. I'm sure they were all there. You were lucky it was only 2 and one half weeks. You wisened up though.

Thanks for sharing that, and I'm really sorry to hear about your heartbreak. Strange that I was just starting to remember him fondly, but you're right, I don't think he can handle being in love; he pushes it away. And it's nice to know that it wasn't just me. Again, thank you.

I too have had a "relationship" with Carl - luckily I never let it get to the physical meeting. This was in June-July 2006. I met him on a bbw dating site and he was awesome - tattooed like me and we hit it off immediately. We emailed, texted and spoke on the phone many times daily. When he asked me to drive 8 hours to meet him for July 4th at Port Aransas I thought it would be wonderful. Then he said it would be great for his two girls to be around me in his house for the week and even had the younger one (she was 12 then) talk to me on the phone. He talked of long walks on the beach, Starbucks and matching converse shoes. Ha! The day before I was supposed to meet him, he informed me that besides us, his entire family, mom, brother, sister in law, kids, etc would all be staying together in one house in PA for the 4th. When I balked at meeting his entire clan, he told me about his suicide attempts and getting beaten by his dad and almost dying while he was an EMT - I guess so I'd feel sorry for him and go ahead and meet him. I wussed out at 3:00am the day I was to go, he's hated me since. After reading your posts and the comment from someone else, I'm feeling very lucky to have stayed home for July 4th. Other women meeting Carl DiCiolla online beware!

I don't know what posessed me to look up Carl's name again online, but I did it anyway. I came across this blog and had to write in! We met on a site called Singleparent.com or something of that nature. This was around 2005 or thereabouts.
Reading your stories reminded me of him exactly. Had to meet the family, the daughters Staci and Brittany, the hated mom and listen to him talk about himself all the time! He actually got a tattoo of a moose representing my favorite animal on one of his arms. Ofcourse, he had it covered up. We too were engaged and it all ended with a phone call on his part. I was about to move in with him with my 1 year old son.
I was devistated by the break up, but like most things, time healed that, and after seeing your stories, I realize how glad I am for that heartache!
Did he tell you he had won the lottery? Wow! What a piece of work! No wonder he never accepted my facebook invite!! lol pullerbc@yahoo.com

I have read and re-read this blog page...Carl does not know nir has he ever to my knowledge tested positive for anything. He donates blood and plasma regularly...to say he may have something shows how little you did know about him. He and I dated seriously for a short time...we have since decided we are better friends. I posted on here earlier in 2008 as Nurse78065. He is a very dear friend who has been there repeatedly for me when I needed him. To say the things you have about the possibilties of aides is inexcusable. I feel that for the most you wanted more than he was willing to give and feel slighted. He and I have discussed theoney and come yo terms with that...it was money I felt that I owed him and still do. Please stop bashing him...he is as the rest of us looking, looking for the real tjing and coming up short....maybe you should look into yourself a little deeper
