I am new to blogging and I'm not really sure how to comment or respond to someone else's blog, or if that is even possible, but I had some thoughts about Alex's post. So this is what I would have commented if I could have figured out how to do so...

Alex, I too found myself expecting Craig to be a disapointment for Alexis. One thing that I also found interesting was that she was skeptical during their entire interaction, and even more interesting was the fact that she wanted that to come across in her interview. She didn't even tell her parents, even after her and Craig had been dating how they had originally met. "Would any parent let their kid meet someone they met over the internet?"

Did you notice this at all when reading the article? Do you think that this made her more realistic and relatable? I think what I am trying to say is that in general most people are skeptical of online relationships because of all the unsucessful ones that we hear of. However, I was completely intrigued by the account that Alexis told, mostly because she seemed to share these apprehensions, and she proceeded in a responsible manner. I think that our perspective of the situation may have been completely different if she had simply ran off to meet with him after talking to him once, or if she had done something equally as reckless.
