If you read their profile - it can be pretty clear - for example if they are not in your local area, or even country.... or if they are separated, or state that they are just here for the forums or games or such.... or they list their age group and it's not your age group--- etc, etc.
yes some of the stuff seems like a repeat - however, one reason I enjoy returning and chatting in the forums is because there are rock solid people who comment, and keep the threads going - people that you are comfortable and enjoy their thoughts even if you heard them before. It is like returning to your hometown, or going to a party and seeing your friends returning too.
If you are serious about finding a relationship this is just a stepping stone. right? The real work begins after you connect through the forums or through a get together or through the mailbox or flowerbox -
I think you can tell a lot about a person from their posting in the forums - don't you?
I figured it out from my girlfriends looking for love - they dated from the various websites - and there was always an excuse or barrier to the relationship. - so they broke up and then WAM! - they met someone else through the same websites, dated and the respective men moved heaven and earth to be together and happy with my friends. So I figured that if the dates with the man is ok but it moves along at a snails pace, then that man is not the right man - let him go - cause when a man knows he is in love and wants to be with that woman - he will.
I'm really surprised - cause I don't know what I want in a partner except love and affection, -oh ya - a Scottish man except someone with enough energy to keep up with me.
This is a good issue - can you really be exclusive with someone in a long distance relationship? Sometimes I think (and I've read) that people behave differently online - as if it isn't real. I was reading that men when they date have a rotation of women that they will flirt with. Women on the other hand - and this is just my opinion - stick with one relationship at a time.
and finally I think that there is nothing wrong with flirting, socializing - it the acting on it - that's another story.
I know - no one is getting any change back on this two cents worth
And let me add - look at the ball, look at the green, look at the ball, look at the green, elbow straight, knees together.....ooops last part is advice from my last date.....
It's the season for Pumpkin Spice Lattee' at Starbucks - I LUV LUV LUV Pumpkin Spice Lattees....... want and crave them almost as much as wanting a Scottish Highlander....
It takes a lot of time to read through the threads as it is - why create a advertisement my time is valuable - I want to read the genuine CSers otherwise I'd watch television instead.
Hope springs eternal - the feelings will pass of dating hopelessness - Instead of looking for the "never quite right" look to enjoy someone's company doing things you want to do - if you like movies, theatre, art shows, book stores, kayaking, bicycling, gardening, walks in nature, museums, and the list goes on -
Look for events that you want to experience and you will meet up with likeminded men.
and for goodness sake stay away from married men - they are such a heart ache!
Newspapers are having a tough time surviving in world of electronic information - so perhaps this was a business decision as well. Some of those people (the hacking journalists and their accomplices) need to be out of a job. The Editor/CEO has probably got some ideas on new ways to make money when Murdock reorganizes.
I am curious - doesn't the jailing have to do with the willful refusal to pay rather than the inability to pay? If one makes a good faith effort which is different than not paying by deceit and fraud or straight out refusal to pay......
