Connecting Singles^® Tennessee Forums

I'll be your friend. What would you like to talk about today?

Oh, nothing in particular. I just jumped on the forums to kinda say 'hey' since i just signed up to cs recently. I noticed that it's rather quiet around the TN section and was aiming to get some people talking.
And thank you for the friend offer, i moved away from the area for about 2yrs and everyone i used to know has either moved or moved on since then.

there's a place called meetup.com where you can sign-up for movies, workout sessions, bible groups, divorced friends and a whole lot more. that's my cheap sales pitch. anyway, you can meet people in person through signing up for a group that you find interest in...hiking, biking, walking, running, workouts, coffee...etc.

sounds great. ty for the 'cheap sales pitch'

if it's free, why not? free is helpful in this economy. as we are in a Depression and headed toward a bank holiday in September and Hyperinflation in November.

OH, this has been a good day!

i started heading out to Franklin, taking a look at the job market, hoping to find a second job and on my way i got a call from a senior care company out in that area i'd been hoping to work for for months!! yaay, wish me luck, my interview is tomorrow!!!

there!
The most action for conversation is over on the "international" forum. Come on over to the funny farm and kick your feet up awhile!

i've been peeking into the international... brought me back to that 'wall flower' phase of my life. Found i didn't miss it all that much.
I'm really aching for something more local. ty anyway sweetie.

Unfortunately, there isn't much happening here as far as locally. But you never know. Try expanding your boundaries...that's what I done. I found someone on this site about 700 miles away. Turns out we are "just right" for each other. He moved here to TN and now we're married. Best wishes to you!

Hey Hope, that is wonderful..tell the story...Where did he move from...How long did you talk before you met?

I started "noticing" Slim and his posts for a bit before we actually spoke in the forum. He had been here a year and I had been here since late November/early December. Then one day in February he came into the weather thread and I struck up a conversation with him (just for the record, if I'm interested in someone I usually wait for them to make the first move, but thought "what the heck, why not"). We carried on the conversation into private email. We hit it off right from the start. We met in real life in March. By the end of March he moved to TN (because I have two teen boys and couldn't move from the area). We got married in May. I know some have backlash about how quickly everything came together, but we're not the only couple on here that just "knew" they were right for each other and didn't drag the process out. What can I say...when you "know" it's right. It's just right! I know there's no such thing as "perfect" but we are indeed perfect for "each other", if that makes sense.

So that's our story in a nutshell. LOL
Guard your heart and be safe in the process of searching for that special someone.

as hope said there is never much going on in the local forums, it is mostly in the international area. as for being a "wall flower" dont feel that way. I did at first, then I started posting and interacting. I "met" a lot of wonderful people, in the year sence I joined, also I met and married hope, who if I hadent been here would have never met. I lived in michigan till moving to tn. this year. anyways I guess what im saying is give it a try ya never know what my happen, ther are many couples that have met through here. best of luck in your search

I have two reasons i'm only looking local anymore. My daughters.

I actually had a long distance relationship up until early this year. We were beyond perfect together, but circumstances *sigh*
We tried for over two years to make things work.

we were the right people meeting at the wrong time in our lives.
It's taken time to accept that.

but i don't feel like i could ever go through that again.

no worries. i found that despite it all this pesky thing kept happening.


i woke up every morning and kept living on.
