I think it is nice to have a place to go, and talk with other people who are like you.
I don't know if it would be called hiding.
The way I see it, It is a dating site, set up so you can meet other people, and maybe find someone you have a lot in commin with. We are all (well most of us) are single, and many share the same problems.
There are a lot of people here who can relate to what we say.
Here someone can post a question, like what do women want in a man or vice versa. and you know your not going to be put down or made fun of by someone, because we all would like to know the answer. and in some ways I think it brings everyone closer together.
You can say things ask things, that your friends in the other world sometimes would not understand.
I my self have a lot of friends and they are married or are in a relationship. while I love them to death, it sometimes is hard to be with them, as they are talking about there lives with there significant other. and as for me I don't have a lot of input to that kind of conversation, as there is no significant other. and sometimes I just feel like I don't belong there.
but here on CS, you don't get pulled into to many conversations about the family vacation or who is buying a house because there is a baby on the way.
It's just seems good to know that you have friends you can talk with and have a good time with, while your other friends are doing the couple thing. And I think that most of us ccame here in the first place in some hope of finding the one that will allow us to do the couple thing. JMO. I could be wrong I am usually anyway. What would I know I am here for the forums anyway, LOL

I have found him here in the forums..we met in person a few times..and soon to be married this year

I am seriously looking and I like the idle chit chat, not only is fun , but I get to see how certain men I am interested in relate to others and answers to more questions I had about him. I had one courtship recently that was a utter failure, but I am back and truely looking again.

In a word....hiding

Ooo Hellooo Jodie!
I'm HidieLookin.. or LookyHidin..

As it says in my profile and I quote myself "Just here for the forums. Not really looking for anyone, but if "Mr. Right" comes along. . . who knows?"

I really do not expect to meet anyone thru this dating site. I will admit there are a couple of gentlemen I could be interested in, but none are in my immediate area and being the "old-fashioned" woman that I am, I do not believe it would be proper for me to make the first move.

When I first signed up I thought "why not?" anything's possible, but as time went on I realized it's probably not gonna happen. Now I come here to enjoy the comraderie and friendship of the WONDERFUL people I've met since I've been here.

I am shy. Terrified at the thought of falling in love again. When I fall in love I lose who I am. I am working on bettering myself and my self image. I have a huge fear of rejection. I am also very "weight sensitive". For some reason I feel like I am not good enough for a man because I am overweight... Like I am not worthy or something. I know it's horrible and believe me it is something I am working on. I need to love myself before anyone can love me. I do love myself to some extent, just not enough to get these silly thoughts out of my head.
Okay sorry for going off topic.
I guess I am hiding while gaining strength and courage in myself. AND making friends along the way.

still hiding

You are way to good looking to hide.

The reason I posted this is because a few people on this site that I have gotten to know have found " love" and they never came to the forums. They spent their time searching . I joined two months ago and did the same, but as time went past I found myself logging on just to come here and see what people chat about.

I totally agree.I participate in the Forums hoping I will find my match this way.What if I am wrong ? What does it help making friends you never gonna meet ? You think you build some kind of a bond with someone to discover she is doing the same thing with 3 different guys at the same time.I got to admit that I am just as guilty as charged.I guess we all think that someone better or more compatible will come along and forget the most important thing in life.Nurture what you got.If you feel at ease with someone and look forward to dealing with that particular person again you have made the first step and hence progress.Why drop the person and do it all over again with someone else.Rest assured that this person will not want to deal with you anymore after finding out you are not that serious.Like I admitted I will have to change as well and focus on why I am on this site.Pretty simple actually.To find that certain someone.
