That's why real life works better. Seeing someone and talking to them makes it easier to get to know the other person and dismiss people quickly the way people tend to do online.

Yep, I agree with that!

Meeting online is like buying something in a paper bag

I'm sure you will find him some day kitty...OR he will find you...as for me...I'm holding out for the right one....the one whom makes me weak in the knees and who I know I don't want to live without...damn I'd like to know just where the hell he is though...I mean 15 years is a hell of a long time to wait....I think it's about time he showed up myself....

Exactly

Yes that is exactly what I would want just like the romance you see in the movies where he cannot live without you and comes to get you.

And you ride off into the sunset on his steed....

Single, workaholic, spare time with family, friends and the odd date.

I have little chance of being taken (not in the biblical sense of course!)and I´m fine with that at the moment.

you forgot to include me goose, where ya been been

if you were closer to me you would need two really big dogs to keep me away from you, i say two dogs because i coundn`t afford enough steaks to distract two dogs

That's why you go to talking on the phone and meeting in person as soon as possible...to make it more real.

Communicating daily in emails and IM helps, too.

I can tell you why. I never learned how to flirt or make small talk, i.e., "to play the game". For example if a woman played hard to get, I took it to mean she wasn't interested, and it would just be her loss. Besides, most women aren't my type (I know what I like, and it isn't just any woman). There WAS one exception I can recall... at one speed dating party a couple of years ago, I talked to one woman who told it like it is, and believe me, if she would have been my type, I probably would have proposed to her right then and there!

But, it all comes down to whether you're on the market for a game player or a keeper, and whether you're a game player or a keeper yourself. I am very much a keeper, and I never get the hots for ANY woman who I think is a game player... it would be a big mistake if I ever married one.

I hope you find what you seek and need, then. I'm with you on one thing...I only date those who seem to be keepers. I'm not a game-player, and I don't want one. Just sometimes you've got to date them to find out that's what they are, and then you say "adios" and move on. I'm a keeper, and I hope I've found one who wants to keep me, and me him this time. So far, so good...and I hope it just gets better.

LOL! A few game-player women do end up becoming keepers, once they divorce that slob who just sits on the couch watching TV and guzzling his beer. My old man was one of those, that's how I know.
