It is incredibly easy to meet someone, but the hardest thing in the world to meet someone *special*. So - we all been there. Met someone good but no fairy godmother appears to wave a wand and make everything happen exactly the way we want it to. He's interested. She's interested. There's no obstacles that couldn't be overcome. And yet ...

Do we give up too easily? Ever walked away from something that could have worked?

Ever regretted it?

When I read the blogs and polls, and talk to some of the people on here, I see the same thing happening over and over. I've done it myself. I am actually glad to know that there are people genuinely prepared to put in what it takes. hug

I am not giving up too easily, but here, at CS since you cannot see facial expression or hear a voice (letters are pretty much what we have), I pay a lott of intention to details - I don't like if people ask me the same thing more than twice (than they are not interested enough, or they are talking with a few of us at same time); if they are giving me sort of "orders", if they provide me with their e-mail or phone number right away.....etc..... I definitely will walk away with no regret at all

Not guilty of any of that. Not many real South Africans my age on here. Importing someone is not that easy and leaving my country not possible at the moment.

Oh, I hate the same questions coming up, sheesh, listen already! BTW I got talked into buying a webcam and talking on Skype makes all the difference, once you've reached the stage where you are interested in learning more. Just for talking - any suggestion of cyber hanky panky and I'd be blocking any further calls laugh

You don't need a crystal ball Vivian. Eventually you'll see red flags but the first time you ignore them. That's what I did. And the red flags kept coming for 18 months. Eventually you have to go with your gut instinct and life experiences to know that it's not going to work and you make a decision.

I left home base to meet someone but yes, I know you have tight ties holding you to SA. I've noticed some very nice SA profiles but it's a big, big country, 500 kms away might as well be 5000.

I would far rather be alone than feeling lonely in a relationship. Besides, being on my own for so long, I've learned to walk alone...

I did this. Yes, and a warm glow from it I still have, and for her (who knows, we would meet again when we was older).

Did not want to put her through Marriage or ever.

The time was not right then for complete bliss, its coming around again.
