Yes we all wish the best for William and Ann-Marie,
and yes, we should realize, as I realized, that they are just friends planning a get together. But still I say, I trust William and I am sure Ann-Marie can take care of herself, but others should be careful. An interesting but distorted parallel on another thread is the case of Russian women trying to lure William and others to going to Russia where they might be "milked". There would be not the woman but the man who might be at risk.

thanks LL187

i dont know about you but i find that i recieve alot of emails and i send out alot of emails i dont always get responses but it is all the trial and error thing as for finding friends yes i have found many and i have had several dates but another thing is i dont limit my self to just people in my area so it is hard for me to date others half way across the country and i have had good experiences and bad ones also but never give up hope. one day you will find someone who is for only you for women i feel it is harder than it is for men but remember this life is what you make of it dont just sit here in front of your computer and wait for him/her to walk by and send you an email get off your butts and go out and be part of the world reba macentire has a wonderful song about it called sombody check out the lyrics here and let me know what you think http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php;jsessionid=D4B4C6DB2824DE23484F90DA159266D8?hid=B0M8%2Bbqpb%2Bw%3D happy hunting

I am off my butt ,but I am limited to my area because I have a 4 year old boy and his dad is here .If someone is willing to travel great .I am in no rush and have no feelings of desperation.I know the right guy will e-mail or crash his car into mine.:)

Well for one you are not a slob girlfriend..you look just fine. Second ..this site is fun and your right,it is a way to meet friends. I met a girl on a site similar to this one 5 years ago and we are still good friends.
As far as the gentlemen here,their great to talk to If you expect no more than just friends...then you never know!

I dunno about anyone else, but I have fun here. Meeting all kinds of new and interesting people is what makes this so fun. I came eher with absolutley NO expectations, so if I make a friend or perhaps even more, then it's just a bonus! The internet is awesome because it enables me to meet a lot of people, some who are closer than others, but you never know...the person who EMails you, or sends you a flower could turn out to be either the best friend you have ever had, or in a perfect World, could even become your spouse someday...My brother met his wife on-line, and they have lived together happily for 8 years!!!

Apology accepted LL187 maybe i should apologise aswell, I did fly off the handle a little. I am sorry for bieng so stroppy with you.

Cutelildevilsmom you look fine don't woory the right one will be along soon enough, I think you already know this though.

Ann-Marie

I do agree with you, I just think people couldnt be bothered or a too lazy to get to know each other well.
Maybe they are scared of opening up to a person or just want instant marriage without getting to know their partner. I dont thing the net is a successful way of finding the love of your life. I am sure some lucky ones do, must for the majority it isnt the answer.
What else does one have to do of bettering his or her chance of coming up with a decent person??

HELLO. ALLS I CAN SAY IS THAT I`AM NEW TO THIS AND MY BOX HAS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING. I GUESS I AM OLD FASSION... PRETTY MUCH CONTENT WITH MYSELF AS A INDIVIDUAL. .NOT REALLY SEARCHING.. JUST OPENMINDED. .A TRUE FRIEND WILL COME FIRST THAN A FIRST DATE...... AND A FIRST DATE SHOULD REALIZE THAT.......HELLO EVERYONE AND LOTS OF LUCK ON YOUR QUEST.....

I need that friendship to go along with the dating or marriage. I dated a guy for 6months that said he didn't wanna be my best friend. He said he had never done that in the past and he's not doing it now. I was truely shocked and of course we broke up shortly after that. However, he came back around about 3 months ago wanting me back. He said he didn't know what he had. Well that was true but i'm not going back to a relationship with someone who didn't like me for who i was and didn't want to go deeper in the friendship area. It's a jungle out there we all know. If u can make friendship part of the relationship u can always keep that special friend in the long run if ur partnership doesn't work out. Thru all my dating he's the only one i'm not friends with in the end. How sad.

I always strive for being friends with men I date. The worst that happens is if there is no romantic connection than I am still on a friendly basis. I am good friends still with a man I dated 5 1/2 years ago and one I dated a little over a year ago. We still talk and hang out. The problem I have with the one 5 years ago is that he is just too old for my taste. the one a year ago, well, we tryed but I feel for him more like a brother. Then a guy I saw on and off for 5 years I really fell for but he is a committment phobic. What do you do?

For me friends first is wonderful, and who knows something could bloom into something even better.

Thats easy Lion..you keep searching. Wish every situation could be perfect, but it can't, we all have established that. I think the mistake we all make is were looking for a certain something, but maybe we should take a different approach and step outside the box for a change...look for something different in people and appreciate that there are unique characteristics we may have never dealt with before. As far as friends are concerned...is there a such thing as a relationship thats ever worked where the parties involved weren't friends? I doubt it, not happily.

U are right, Ideally I do wish everything could be perfect, but realisically I know there will always be ups and downs. I lived through enough to know. So I know what makes me happy and what makes me miserable. I am going to look for qualities that I admire the most. Everybody's got these qualities to a certain degree, good and bad things. I want to find the combination that best fit's in with me.

Hmmm, as soon as i seen the heading... i was thinking more along the lines of...

your friends and your boyfriend/girlfriend


Scenario, you find new boyfriend/girlfriend (great) your out with them all the time, getting to know them, all the things you normally do in start of relationship.

Your friends feel left out as you have clung to them for all the time you have been single.

I dont see the point in saying make time for both, it never happens that way. For me anyway.

My last boyfriend, he knew me and my best friend came as a package really, i wasnt going to leave her sitting in the house while i was out on the razzle with the bf. So she came practically everywhere with us. I think it kind of ruined our relationship, i think we both relied on my friend in the end really, to start conversation and things. It was a 3 way relationship.

Now my friend has a boyfriend, she is happy and in love and i am really happy for her but i never see her.

In there a happy inbetween ?

look at it this way...you did for her what shes not doing for you...so i doubt there is a happy medium there.

Welcome to the forums, Clarabo19! The traditional
happy in-between is to go out with your boyfriend then
phone up your friend and talk about him and your date
with her, so she field close to you and a part of things.
You may not be the type who does talk a lot on the phone,
so conceivably these could be in-the-flesh meetings,
but the advantage of phones is that you can talk while
lying down ready to sleep or in some other time that
would otherwise be wasted. Believe me, it is what people
have always done, that and a few scattered opportunities
for her to meet him in person, but just rare ones. Mostly
you'd be with him by yourself, without her.

Personally, I am just looking for friends on here. My face and the fact that, compared to a lot of other folks on here, I am geographically undesireable pretty much insures nothing other than friendship will result :).

I seem to be finding friends on the site. Everyone is too far away in most cases.

How about dates with friends,just meeting all kinds of diffrent people,regardless of distance.Maybe through these people,and there people,something comes through,but if nothing else,you can walk away saying I have made a new friend(s),to me that says your luckier then most.

And besides,even in dating who may be your potential mate,its a must,at least to me,that we are friends,formost before anything else,thats where is all begins,with friends.
