With each swing of the restaurant door, Marcia Lane leaned forward and squinted to see whether she recognized her online date, JayMan45. He described himself as average-looking, but lots of fun. Lane appreciated his modesty and was excited about meeting him.

After 10 minutes, there was a soft tap on her shoulder. She turned around and nearly gasped for air from shock, but managed to conjure up an uncomfortable half-smile. JayMan45 was about 15 pounds heavier and 20 years older than his profile picture on Match.com. And balding.

Lane put up with the awkward silences and forced laughter for about an hour and a half, but decided to skip dessert because of an “upset stomach.” She received two phone calls from JayMan45 after their meeting, but never answered.

“It was your stereotypical online nightmare,” said Lane, 30, of Brooklyn.

Lane is among the growing numbers of single black women involved in online dating. :http://africannewslive.com/women/?p=164
