...In reply...

Hello a66...You have asked the question that i have asked of myself on more than one occasion...
Lets look at a couple of points, purely unscientificly...
We approach "dating sites" (and i do mean plural) with a view to finding that "significant other", and in the initial stages were bouyed up with the favourable "call back" rate that is part of being a "newbee"...Now, this is the time to cash in on the response,s because it tails off after a while( thats my experience anyway)...
You have noticed that people contact you from all over the world, that again is par for the course, and by itself is no bad thing...However, its been my experience (8 months!), that the site opens up interest based upon your (and my own) input...
In my case, I have a handfull of "regulars" who i keep up with in the video postings, (it was the way things drifted after the initial interest tailed off)...Again, not in a bad way...
But the fact is, I have had just a couple of dates in Ireland which have'nt developed due mainly to different tastes and the consideration of distance...
The "real" connections thus far have been with people who i never expect to meet, sad but true...So, whats the answer...I'd have to say 1/. finding someone who lives no more than an hours drive away from you here on site, or 2/. its back to good old fashioned "organic" methods, Ya know, getting out and meeting people, not as easy as going on the computer i know, but these people are in the zone and who knows when a conversation will spark up?...
Really, Im not pushing platitudes, but if im honest with myself, thats the way i see things running eventually...that said, i love the interaction here on CS and dont expect to leave anytime soon...
And in closing, I sincerely hope you find that special person...
Its said there is someone out there for each of us, hopefully just not half a world away...

All the best...Lard......

Thanks for the responses guys... I know,,, there is no quick fix,,, and I'll probably end up having to get out there and do the personal interaction... woe is me... lol maybe I'm just NOT ready yet... it does take a lot of time and effort to have a good relationship with someone... I may have been wishing/looking for that 'quick fix'... perhaps I'll have a better outlook tomorrow - or maybe not... we'll see... Again thanks for the words of wisdom and I hope you too will find the one you're looking for... either here or 'out there' somewhere...

if your looking for friendship im here but love is a lie

Hi Glenvalley65,,, thanks for your response... you make me feel better - thought it was just me... I just looked at your profile and I like ya... I hope you do find your companion to share your life with...
Stillframe, love is real... I`ve lived it till death did us part... I hope you find a great friend and true love all in one.
Believe me it`s wonderful and I only pray I will find it again...
