If you start dating and one has bad news, how soon should they tell the other?

I started dating someone online... she let me know pretty quickly that she has an issue... that effectively killed the relationship. When is two early to reveal the big stuff?

I don't get how you "date" someone online

Really?@Teresa628

I mean, if you haven't met in person than you aren't dating.

Basically... met in chat room. She is 2000 miles from me, but we chatted by phone every night, continued to chat in the room... and made plans to meet. The info came after those plane tickets were purchased. @Teresa628

@Bazingaa That must be disappointing. Still gonna meet?

Bazingaa · 51-55, M

I don't think so. It was very disappointing.... @Teresa628

Teresa628 · 56-60, F

Wow...that must've been some issue. Sorry

Bazingaa · 51-55, M

@Bazingaa Sounds like she was just a cat fish. I knew someone who "dated" on line and every time they made plans to meet she'd call it off, or something would "come up." I think it's weird she told ya after you already bought the tickets.🐡

Well... she said she bought the. Maybe she didn't ... good point.@Peaches
