Our experience(s) in dating here at CS or anywhere
Maybe some of us on here have anything to share about our journey in finding the "one".Considering all the fake profiles, scammers they are called, what truly is our chances of finding him/her on this site? Or anywhere for that matter.
I have met and found whom I thought was the one 9 years ago here. Although our distance was more than 7,000 miles apart we didn't get discouraged because what we felt from the first skype was so strong and wonderful that we didn't think of any hurdles we had to face.
Anyways I went to his place about three times and he came to my place about two times. To cut the story short, for me, it was the most interesting, adventurous and wonderful part of my life.
I read somewhere that the difficulty of meeting a real partner here isn't as easy as meeting them in family gatherings, church or the conventional and normal introduction before the web. What's with all of those mentally crazy, drug addicts, or simply players that are not who they claim they are. Married pretending to be single, and more discouraging characters which by the time you find out, has already caused you a lot of emotional roller coaster.
Well for me, I am no longer looking. I'm way past that. But meeting good friends both male or female, to me is a plus.
What about you? Please feel free to share your stories if you want. Maybe we can all learn from it.
Note: I know about six couples who have met here, still married and happy. A couple from NZ and India, From Northern Thailand and England (my best friends, he passed away , blessed his soul). From Philippines and NZ, From NY and England, From France and CH, and also our very own Mimi from Malaysia now happily living in Nebraska. The first three couples I met them 8 years ago still very happily married.

"Well for me, I am no longer looking. I'm way past that"
Would it be a silly question if I asked you why?
Relationship is a very complicated venture Ms. Witch and sadly sometimes our desire for a very simple existence is our priorities. At least for me. I'm at my age where I can say and do whatever I fancy without any consideration for others. I am not saying I would wish for others to live like I do but there's truly a blessed feeling of being independent. Having said that, we never truly can say our decisions are encrypted in a stone. teddybear

you tell it in a good way as in, its alright to end up alone, which for many it is and you seem happy with that also and good for you but I find something rather sad about it all.
You have been filled with so much love yet you're happy not to end up with it .....
like I said, I think that's sad but that's just me.
You're not at the end of your line yet Ms Jones, so who knows who's around the corner worth bumping into
nothing more memorable than ones first love

Then my time of learning from being on here instead of simply reading books, watching television shows and once in a while trip to the casino. I feel good at where I am. I have many friends and I am very busy.
did meet one chap last year and we had the makings
unfortunately life got in the way so now I'll never know.
The Stepford wife, you've got to close that channel in your mind and heart. In today's world, there's no such thing as a subservient woman. No way you'd ever find that.
You have to tweak your requirements Crown. Live with the now. My advise.
they must of been a bit before my time
obviously they were useless if they had so many girls screaming at them.
Overall, my experiences on this site in spite of the contradictions of people here who claim they want a friend but, do not want to go out of their way for one I met only one who knows me better than myself and she is quite popular here.
She is quite unique and as much as sometimes I may deny or dispute her wisdom often times the old idea comes to mind "Don't shoot the messenger"
Aside from the misfits that probably make up 80% of the population here, it's the 20% that make it all worthwhile.
Overall, it's best to set expectations low enough to avoid disappointment. In anyone's lifetime if you meet the "one" you will mostly only recognize that "one" after they have left you. Or you pushed them away.

my view is not a personal one on you just onne in general on love and relationships ... the way I see it, if anythings worth having, its worth keeping as well.

just jig acting with Crowns.
Prepare a boatload of money because the system starts with the elders of the tribe making all the requirements. You pay money to the parents, grandparents, buy her a land and house and dowry is what they call. Ok we can communicate about this process more in private, although if anyone is interested, I can pretty much fill on here. My sister, older one was married in this system. I opted not to with my parents permission.

When you say popular, I get that she's with us on the blog? Ok, you don't need to answer that Ninurta. I'm glad that you have something to share. Good luck and yes, the 20 percent of those that are real on here simply makes it worthwhile. I feel the same

I think alot of people use that line as an excuse for giving up and not trying hard enough to hold onto and keep someone they care for or love.
Live with the truth and move on. Rose!
Nice to see sister!!

My memories with my Greek Australian love was so filled with extraordinary adventure that I'd take them with me to my grave. He met all my children and grandchildren as I met all his wonderful family. Oh did I love those Greek foods and miss his sense of humor. So intellectual, humble and wrote the best poetry I've ever read.
I would have loved to take her out, But I was too shy to ask
The fullness of my feeling, Was never made clear
But I send her my love, And a bang on the ear
Nora was my girl, When I first was in a group
I can still see her to this day, Stirring chicken soup
Now she's living in Australia, Working for an auctioneer
But I send her my love, And a bang on the ear
Deborah broke my heart, And I the willing fool
I fell for her one summer, On the road to Liverpool
I thought it was forever, But it was over within the year (oh dear)
But I send her my love, And a bang on the ear
The home I made with Bella, Became a house of pain
We weathered it together, Bound by a ball and chain
It started up in Fife, It ended up in tears
But I send her my love, And a bang on the ear
Krista was a rover, From Canada she hailed
We crossed swords in San Francisco, We both lived to tell the tale
I don't know now where she is, Oh, but if I had her here
I'd give her my love, And a bang on the ear
So my woman of the hearth fire, Harbor of my soul
I watch you lightly sleeping, I sense the dream that does unfold...like gold
You to me are treasure, You to me are dear
So I'll give you my love, And a bang on the ear
And a Bang on the Ear (Waterboys)

Covid is finito.

Witchy often times love is blind and those who love us the most are generally hardest on us the most. They see within us what we don't see in ourselves. And if you believe in God or whatever always consider the universe never gives us what we want but, it does gives us what we need.
We may wonder or question our love interests why they come into our lives and the love lesson and experience we are to have. IMO it's the only way for whoever created us and our understanding of self as many are our mirrors.
Often times we don't want to see that reflection and we push them away. If we keep getting the same mirrors then it's suggesting we must change our ways.

If you were to do it again, is there anything you learned from the past that might guide you? Or simply just go with the flow?
I sometimes have felt in the 'unlucky again but it was close' category so many times I almost started to
wonder of God is sabotaging my happiness here on earth to make me follow him instead, which could make more sense at the end of the day. Something along those lines you had in mind?
Paulus (Paul) said it was best to dedicate this life to serving God, but if you can't live without a wife then go get one. That's how I read him. I suppose I'm in the second group, the romance hungry ones.

Ehmmm..... learned? Maybe best to look closer to home first,
I always started at the far end of the world
