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.

That'd be a better option I suppose. The easiest route when it comes to distance. Just spur of the moments decisions like, hey let's grab a bite or have a cup of coffee somewhere. wave
If we lived in the same town it would not be bites, it be kilobytes by now rolling on the floor laughing

kiss
Hahaha, you always put a smile in my face Grand. You my friend already got passed my requirements as a good friend. Way to the high nines. Like hey do you feel like swimming today? Kind of fun.cheers
LJ........ You don't fool me professor. You're just playing hard to get here. Like most women. But I'm interested in purchasing someone from that tribe you were talking about. Are they from Philippines or Thailand? I know all Thai women want is money. I don't think they believe in romance like I do. How much do they cost. I'll take two please.
wink
We'd take one backpack and a skidoo waterjet and set of... perhaps with the gps set on the nearest sandy island? Bring plenty of sunscreen and a blanket et voila! Perfect day! hug

This video just came to mind cos of the beach summer theme (otherwise unrealated)

Rammstein - Mein Land (Official Video)



This video is just so funny
that sounds perfect my friend. Let's go. I was born in the Philippines with so many beautiful and lovely beaches. I lived in Hawaii before moved to the mainland. Water is my favorite place. Lake ocean or swimming pool.
LJ...... It sounds perfect. I would call one of them Step and the other Ford. Does that sound ok? Does this scheme still operate?
confused
Tes, its funny. Like I thought one of trm revelers is Ann Margaret.
No, you can be married to only one.doh
i like dating discussions miss joneswink
I'm not really looking on the dating sites...but I am always looking offlinewow

it's so hard to find an interesting female profile on dating sites and my experience...most women say very little on their profiles...so it's hard to get motivated about sending them a messagewow

i must say i hate duckface photos on profiles and don't agree with women's children being in the photos..don't like the negativity and defensiveness in many women's profiles wow

after all i have said...i still think women are better at communicating than men and it's pure laziness...when women don't make the effort in their dating profiles.

too many women on dating sites...want to live upto societies trends...expectations and don't want to be opened minded about things they discuss.

I'm bored when i read many women's profiles and it takes a special type of woman to stand outwink
i'm not bashing and it's just my experience of dating sites i have usedwow
Those who love us most are hardest on us, for reasons you have given....
you need a good shake man if you really believe that.
Now if you were referring to parents and children it would be entirely different but between lovers/partners tut-tut no can do, well not in my books anyway...JMO.

But like you said... love is blind roll eyes

what's with the mirrors confused dunno
Bin him I say.


Perhaps boys and girls attitudes and emotions need to be refreshed from time to time in understanding one another.

Perhaps this guy can offer some ideas.
Pretty certain she didn't scold roll eyes
and I'm even more certain he'd appreciate I didn't don't either.
It's alright Lee. When we read profiles, we engage ourselves with the curiosity and then along with it builds up interest or flat out rejection. But the truth is, some truly can be a source of smile or even disgust. I don't read very many although I have about pages and pages of mails. I simply delete them. If they read my profile, right off the bat I wrote I'm not looking but head on writing me anyways.
Sorry, that should of been bin him em doh

Sounds to me like you've escaped a nag .... good for you hug
Salut Lee...just saying hello wave
Yes, we take notes on those damaged and decrepit ones.

Hmmmmm one can only wonder what notes that are taken.

I'm sure it's not musical.
Hello Lindsy wave
Interesting blog and reading the comments.thumbs up

If I were to write all my "dating" stories, I would be writing till the cows come home.

Oh, but there are no cows here! rolling on the floor laughing
My point Ninurta is, be careful. Let's not get carried away with sweet nothings.
The only notes I write are musical ones, Ninu.
I've written songs about you.
You are my muse hug
laugh rolling on the floor laughing come on my dear, there's got to be someone who captured your marvelous brain, and got so engrossed with your amazing spirit and so touched with your pure heart.

You're the creme de la creme mi lady. bouquet
OMG Lady Lindsy...wow blushing

Yes, quite a few have but....what can I say?
Most left with their tail between their legs (no pun intended) laugh

Btw.. I don't kiss and tell.
wink
The only notes I write are musical ones, Ninu.
I've written songs about you.
You are my muse.

Really? How beautiful of you. There was a girl I think you know all too well that was once my muse with poetry. I wonder what became of her these days?

Perhaps she is sitting by a distant sea pondering songs of eternal ethereal ideas rather blissfully?
I believe she's hanging around in the poet's corner waiting for some inspiration. dunno
ok, I understand my dear. bouquet
Nice post lindsyjones

I am not sure exactly how long I've been on this website. Maybe I'm here with different profile names from 2015 or 2016. There are some sour and sweet memories on this website.

Despite my poor English, I tried to remained connected to blogs and forums. Talked to many people in private mail too. But I didn't meet anyone personally. Some considered me good, some considered me bad.

Overall this website is a good companion for my loneliness. I have no hope to meet someone personally, but I am happy with blogs and forums.
Don't give up Descent, I am sure it will happen. wave
How so wonderful to remember our experiences in love.

I'm sure there's a lot of smiles going through our face as we reminisce them good memories. Tgen again can also bring us down with sadness as it didn't turn out the way we would have loved it.

But it's alright, we move on and welcome every bit of possibilities.
I'm still single.

I've dated a few from this site.
And met a few more.
I still have some friendly contacts.
But I think the last new meeting is already 3 years ago.


I should restart.

I'm happy to hear there are other good stories.
Lenowave nice to see you around.

And still looking and haven't given up.cheers

Well if you feel like sharing anything that'd be a bonus on this blog. Otherwise, it's truly a good feeling to see you around. wave
Anybody wants to share more?
the dating sites...that charge...can use fake profiles to send messages...in an attempt to real you in and sign up to them...but of course when you do and message back the fake profiles....you never hear from them again..

like a fishing line with bait on the hook....you have to take a bite...to discover if it is real or notwow
Actually, come to think of it...
There's one special character who keeps saying that he doesn't deserve me!!! roll eyes
Hmmmn and what is your feelings about that?bouquet
What about any encounter from here Lee.
My feelings? Hmmm...
He's just an idiot!
Our "friendship" was never meant to be anything else.

But... he's got sooooo many friends that he can afford to be picky! rolling on the floor laughing

grin
Om dear lady. Lucky is he who'd become your special friend. teddybear
Omg,! laugh
What about the voice Lee?
I need a voice to your lovely pic?
