How can we be single?
Look around CS. There are cheerful people, flirty people, good looking people, old, young, upbeat, animated, serious ... how on earth are we not all snapped up the second we put up our profiles?
Partly because we're perfectly normal, but sheesh, there are nutters out there.
And partly - now let's be completely honest, here - because we're, erm, fussy.
Take you. Uh huh, YOU. I know someone local, right size, nice-looking, relatively baggage-free, solvent, actively wanting to fall in love, who could be just right for you. Guaranteed not a scammer or game-player. Seriously.
No, I don't know if they love animals.
No, no idea how good they are with kids.
No, no idea why the last relationship ended.
No, they don't earn a fortune. Reasonable income, though.
No, they never won a Mr or Miss Universe competition. (Did you?
) No, I don't know if they do or don't want to get married. This is a DATE, okay? Not a contract.
No, I have NO IDEA when they will want sex!!!
What do you mean, you'll have to think about it? You've been talking about wanting to meet someone nice, I found you someone nice. Have one cup of coffee with them, that'll kill you?
Oh, okay. Your loss, though. Stay single. See if I care.
And what do you mean, why don't I date them, they're so good? Well - er - I'm not quite ready - oh bugger off.

your as cute as Shirly Temple(you actually do look like her) and you have a pesonality like that funny lady Ms Bucket
But...I wouldn't say its because you are too fussy anymore than i think its cause your a
Eh" time for me to run now to the hills of connemara that are so far away
In 3 or 4 years here I have yet to find someone interesting that meets that criteria. One or two exist if I was willing to spend 10 hours driving for the coffee, but none found (real applicants only please, young beautiful Northern VA or DC girls 'currently doing missionary work in the Mid East or Africa; in search of a God FeAring man do not count) closer than that yet.
That being said, there are a few who are only 30 or 50 hours away by plane who I would dearly love to meet and have that coffee or a local meal with. I for now, focus on convincing them to come here to me instead.
I'm here for the blogs...and occasional flirting and teasing, is it wrong?
Not looking but but if I meet someone who can make my toes curl everytime we're on skype....then why not?
Get that teleporter invented, and you'll have a visitor whether you want coffee or not.
I can guarantee most here do go on occasional dates, do have relationships, albeit sometimes fleeting.
Some flit in and out during these trysts, some hide their profile, some still remain chatting.
And yes, there are also those who feel that they have done their part by joining a site, even if it is an international site, and the chances of finding somebody locally on it is miniscule.
Singlehood is a choice up to a point.
A toe-curling skyper - oh yes.
I am, in between messages, chatting (text) on skype with the most interesting person I think I have met yet in Scotland, a Native American storyteller. In Glasgow. COOL.
(Not flirty-type chatting, just exchanging histories, he is absolutely fascinating.)
I think most of us envy your Irish meet-ups, you have the best set-up on CS
The Irish forum is gone to pot. (and not the smoking kind
I organised a Meet in Cork in Sept 13 which was great fun. I met lots of people I knew through the Chatroom, and others besides.
We made friends for life out of that. One man from Australia came over and another from England for a subsequent mini-meet.
At least 3 couples came out of it too
Next one, please invite me.
And it also goes up on the Meets section.
So it was obviously you who weren't paying attention
I'd be very surprised if there were another one. But who knows
If your serious about coming over here
and its Galway, your more than welcome to stay at mine, but hows about Paddies wkend we could have mighty craic wetting the shamrock togeather
Eh but i have to ask how tall are you
didn't you once say we were due afew rounds and tis not drinks i'm talking about
you've got me confused here...not flirty-chatting...
exchange of history...and that makes your toes curl? What kind of history are you talking about?
But! They're no one here in my state/ City. _
And I can't do that out of my country thing.
Because I Am On That No Flight List!__
What I have right now (well, had, off-line now) was an interesting older guy with a fund of stories who didn't curl my toes at all but was really fun to talk to. I don't have to flirt ALL the time, you know
You could always come to Ireland another time. As you say, it's just a hop, skip and jump away.
You'd be very welcome
And he might have been
Molly, how come you never invite me to Cork Meet ?? grrrrrr
COG, you know you are permanently barred from Cork
