CS past 60 hours: Tell me about yourself!
Welcome back and thanks for reading this second blog. If you have read my first " CS first 24 hours" you will probably enjoy this one as well. It follows the same line of light, simple thoughts complementing further experiences.If you haven't read it, it's all good too! I hope that you'll find this one at least interesting, if not amusing
To the core: I'm still very pleased with my time here, for several reasons but I'll name a few:
1- The site is very functional and allows you to tune the degree of privacy you want.
This is an important factor to me, it's good to feel that you can select pretty much every single function here, from IM settings to viewing options. It also allows you a smooth degree of contact that if used well, it can turn into a positive way to approach. I don't know about you, but I feel better if I see a flower on my box first before a message ( if the reply is a positive incentive to it ) and from the message a possible IM and so it goes. A smooth transition that allows you to acquire a certain degree of easiness with the complete stranger out there.
It matters to some, others would prefer it blunt.
The site serves to several tastes and for that Thumbs up!
2- A warm welcoming community
One can only say that which is a personal direct experience and ( my apologies to the negative counterparts ) but I do find the community here very welcoming with no exceptions thus far. I know that it's been just a few days and I also know that I'm not particularly attracted to the most controversial debates but I'm very pleased with the ways things are going and hopefully it won't change much. Nice Community, thanks for all the kind welcoming messages, flowers comments etc.
It's been a true pleasure to be here.
3- Features
I have explored as many tools as I could relate with here. Articles, videos, books, Photos, movies, forums... CS provides us with a set of features which can be used to access a bit more about the personality, tastes, way of thinking and lifestyle of the people beyond a profile (leaving that so repetitive flower message that comes in bunches "Tell me more about yourself" out of the scenario.)
Think about it, 5 minutes browsing over such things can reveal more about that person you can possibly be interested on knowing than even the written profile words. It's worth a try yes?
Just a few thoughts on the matter and I'll definitely invest on improving my experience here.
My thanks for reading and all the best! Till next time!

Whilst it is clear that internet websites are becoming increasingly popular in a society where people find it difficult to socialise and date in a more conventional fashion, it is somewhat unclear just how successful internet dating is for meeting people, or more importantly, in meeting the ‘right’ person and forming long term attachments.
Whilst researching the information I have found that there are numerous stories and experiences which support the idea that internet dating in indeed a very successful way of meeting people, however, there are an awful lot of people who say it has been unsuccessful for them. I think it is important to consider the aspect of ‘luck’ in internet dating just as you would in traditional dating. Despite this, however, the internet obviously opens up a wide potential for meeting people and therefore logic would argue that with access to more potential partners it is more likely you may meet the one who is destined for you. Certainly for many people who otherwise would not have even been on the dating scene the internet opens up huge possibilities and success can definitely be found.
My personal opinion... this free site CS is by far the best.. helps, promotes and creates interactive members...
Yes the time, always the time!
I agree with you, been reading a bit of the forums and the great majority of the subjects sounds a bit dull to me , maybe not because they are dull in essence but because I don't think I could add anything constructive to it so I just let it pass.
Some people get really passionate about some discussions and opinions, that leads to what you have described and I think that this renovation of the community with comings and goings is healthy for the general state of affairs here.
Makes it all interesting and the diversity is indeed striking!
Hugs for your day and thanks for writing!
How are you doing today? I was reading a few of your blogs, will get back to them to add a few lines if you don't mind
About your question, ( quite fun as I have been asked this by mail too. Another member, not you but same question )my answer would be yes, why not? It holds the same potential if not more potential than it could hold a walk at the beach, or a coffee out of the office, a night out?
I always get intrigued when people try to highlight the possibilities and or lack of possibilities to meet someone here or there. It isn't really something that we can be sure but coming here is a first step and undoubtedly one will find that which you look for here.
Differences are some are looking for a love partner, others for social interactions, a third group perhaps to annoy one another and a forth that comes here everyday just to assure that they aren't looking for anything lol.
See, in essence, everybody gets closer to what they want really. This is a world in itself.
Hugs for your day!
Nice to meet you and thanks for sharing your successful story! It's always good to read them!
All the best!
I joined CS in February 09 and would occasionally just look in and browse a little, Get my feet in the door so to speak, spent about three months just reading the blogs and following the forums and discussions, until sometime in June then i really got into posting and participating . Since then to now i must say CS stands out from any other dating site that i know of so far. It has been a fun place for me, as i am a homebody and a single mother who do not date (by choice) and a full time job i really dont get the time to go anywhere unless im traveling. CS has provided an outlet of relaxation for me, along the way i have made a few good friends and have been enjoying some really good banter ....all full of love, respect and lots of laughter . I am glad you are having a great time too, and its really good to have another vibrant intelligent mind added to this coholopot of bright, funny,caring wonderful men and women that make our days a little easier even its virtually. Take care !
