DaisyChick: I find it weird that when you find a "connection" with someone that most men on this site get freaked out. I wonder what the real purpose behind these profiles really are. I've been around this site (and forums) for over a year and without fail every single time I talk with someone that is capable of a decent conversation they get freaked out if they "feel" anything more than just a friendship. Why are people really here? I truly believe that it doesn't have anything to do with the person on the receiving end (IN MY CASE... unless I am just in some weird little sheltered world). I'm starting to believe that guys seek out "GOOD" girls and then once they get them they run.
My question is why??
For over a year I have had my profile saying that I am strictly here for forums and friends. That has changed within the last month, I'm tired of focusing only on school. I thought I was ready for something more... until I've had a few experiences of men not being able to handle a decent "intelligent" conversation. It's like everything goes great until they realize how compatible we could actually be and that I am not willing to "play games." I consider myself to be on the high end of "good girls." I am working hard in school (as many of you may know). Is it possible that men aren't willing to share my time? (I have to put schoolwork and studying first. At 32 years old it's time to build a future and career for myself regardless of any relationship). This does not mean that I am not willing to share this life with someone else. This just means that I must find someone that understands that I need more than someone to love. I must love myself too! (And be happy with the choices I make in life.)
Any thoughts on this? Could it intimidate people?
I'm not sure why some are here, I'm here to find someone to date. Life is busy so I don't get out much right now. For me if I start to like someone, even if I never say anything, they stop chatting. I guess those are the ones that like games and crap. Fine with me, I will find someone that enjoys chatting.
