For me, I know myself. Out There, I would get utterly entranced with a woman who smells good and looks good, and we would have absolutely nothing in common. I know I'm a bit different, but normal, and I am looking for someone equally normal. But what about you? Why look in here instead of Out There?

I don't worry about failures. Many great people have failed over and over again. I figure we just got to keep trying. Read about Abe Lincoln life:
1831 - Lost his job
1832 - Defeated in run for Illinois State Legislature
1833 - Failed in business
1834 - Elected to Illinois State Legislature (success)
1835 - Sweetheart died
1836 - Had nervous breakdown
1838 - Defeated in run for Illinois House Speaker
1843 - Defeated in run for nomination for U.S. Congress
1846 - Elected to Congress (success)
1848 - Lost re-nomination
1849 - Rejected for land officer position
1854 - Defeated in run for U.S. Senate
1856 - Defeated in run for nomination for Vice President
1858 - Again defeated in run for U.S. Senate
1860 - Elected President (success)

So a few failures at finding a soul mates isn't all that bad.

Maybe not necessarily in a romantic sense but I have always wanted to translate some of these connections from online to in person. That was the whole idea but after a lot of meeting people who were basically strangers and making a few friends out of it frankly I am weary of meeting people in person and have backed off from it for a while. The forums have shown me that everyone has a bit of wisdom, some are very brilliant, some are just really shining people in that even from a few comments on a screen you can tell how wonderful they are and most of us are still just trying to figure it all out.
These forums have been a good experience too in a way a social experiment and it is true to life that you will connect with a few but most everyone will be simply an acquaintance.
I have no fear of meeting any one of you in person there would be some I would be friends with no matter what the venue and others that we would simply not have a meeting of the minds or personalities.

Because even though I live in the place I grew up and should be comfortable with local culture there are so many things I don't like and since I can't move I thought maybe I'd meet some people with different values online. You've lived here you have some idea what I'm talking about.

I think this is what all of us are hoping for to find someone on line and to make in work in "real life". I have made some lasting friends from my on-line discussions. I haven't met Miss Right yet!
