In my case, three years and NUTHIN'

Are you saying that they just join for the online company?

maybe for friends... like me

You sound disheartened. No interest at all? You are a nice lady so it's hard to fathom why you haven't at least had dates. I found on another dating site that because there were so few in my area, I was out of options after meeting one or two. This site actually had more Irish people on it than some Irish sites.

I don't get it. Why join a singles site for just friends? Did you start out looking for someone or did you just choose a singles site to make friends?

Please excuse impertinent questions, I was just curious.

Just something I've observed. People think they want to meet someone, but then get scared when it might really happen. I don't know, I'm not Dr. Phil, or Dr. Ruth either!

Yes......

I enjoy the correspondence........

I enjoy the variations.....

I enjoy the flirting......big time.....

but NO.....

not really on here with the aim of geting hitched up.....

if and when I fell I want to do that, I go out in the ral world and do so....cannot imagine doing it via internet......much prefer to get to knwo someone who pulls my fancy hands on rather then on acomputer....

It just seems weird to me that on many of the threads I hear men complain about women outnumbering them and they say women play games etc so they can't get a date or find a partner, but there are genuine single women on this site looking for serious relationships and unattached men apparantly not even looking in their direction. Same vice versa.

What's up with that? All this "I'm only here for the forums " crap doesn't wash with me. If people only wanted to talk then the first place they would look wouldn't be a dating site. People in general join sites like this looking for someone compatible or comparible with themsleves with a view to getting to know and even having a relationship with them, not to spend years just sitting addicted to their computers chatting endlessly about finding someone they will never have. That scenario doesn't even make sense.

I do understand that sites like this are full of people that have special needs in the relationship department, like being at home as a carer, or being commited to looking after old relatives or kids, some have mental illnesses, some low self esteem, some are just hurt, or a myriad other reasons, but get real people, if we come here surely we have to take the logs out of our own eyes and at least begin to look earnestly for what we came here for in the first place.... our own special companion, helpmeet, partner, husband/wife, and not just sitting her making wishes at a computer screen.

u see...there were some moments in my life when i felt extremely lonely and i didn't want to bother my real friends with my problems so came here to know some new ppl...to talk and talk and talk so that could distracted from what was really troubling me:)

those times are gone now but i have made some very special friends on this site....

ur question is not impertinent...u're just curious that's a very strong excuse

could get distracted

Hey Gin....

You missed out on one category.......

those, like myself, who are quite happy to be single.....

intend to remain so.......

are not looking for a soule mate.......

are not intending to find the love of thier life to spend whatever time they have left on this journey......

BUT......

who enjoy the company of women none the less......

enjoy flirting......

enjoy stimulus......

and enjoy dating.

This is a single, dating site no?

Nobody said or mentioned it is a mnarriage agency?

Or is it according to some?

I like your honesty.

Yeah, I really enjoy reading the posts that say, "Where are the nice girls" or threads by men who complain that they can't find any women in their country

Perhaps they are looking for a dream girl who doesn't really exist.

But I do support their right to find her......a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

I understand what you are saying and you are open about not finding someone. You haven't ruled out meeting someone though, you just state not from an internet site. But people are still real people whether you run into them on the street or on here you still have to meet them, and they could be living down your street anyway.

This wasn't aimed at you specifically.

It would be a pity though if all men on the fourms felt the same as you because there would be alot of women sadly disappointed who are looking for genuine partners.

True....

and quite sure that this site provides for those who are looking too....

just as much as it provides for individuals like myself who have met wuite a few interesting ladies who I correspond with privately who I would not have met otherwise.....

it takes all sorts to make the world go round...

Yep

what she said...........................except the fellah part

Although like you I suppost their right to do so, I can't help thinking, what a waste of a lifetime, when they could have someone who would genuinely love them in ways they probably never even dreamed of.

Everyone to his/her own. Does talking online not make you wish you could have those pals or relationships in real life though. Isn't getting a real hug better and don't you miss it?
