Why is timing so important in meeting the right partner?
Have you ever held two magnets together? And noticed how they attach tightly to the other magnet? But if you flip the magnet, they push away?
And realized - it is moving way too fast

Dating for the Aware
Having been a member of CS for approximately 2 months, I’ve made certain observations.
1. From reading the comments of others, I’ve concluded that some people have been members for many years. Although the site may offer a sense of camaraderie and support, amongst other things, it would appear that often it may not lead to finding a long-term partner.
2. It’s apparent that there is a very high number of scammers on the site, which is probably due to it being a free site. Sifting through many unwanted messages is very time consuming.
3. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s very difficult to find members in my local area, Initially I thought this was due to the fact that I live in a fairly remote area, but from others’ comments, I get the sense that it’s more pervasive. In order to establish a real relationship, I believe that people actually need to meet in person, so this is clearly somewhat problematic.
4. Perhaps one of the things that has taken me aback most is the fact that a few profile pictures are actually of people wearing masks. In psychological terms, wearing a mask is akin to a person hiding his or her true self and is the complete antithesis of being authentic. Why anyone would choose to put up a profile picture on a dating site with at least two thirds of their face obscured by a mask defies belief. I cannot make any sense of it. Why put up a picture at all? But, obviously it does say a lot about anyone who would choose to do that. Having received one or two messages from people wearing masks, which I ignored, I chose to reply to one and challenge this. Whether doing this made any real difference, I’ll never know.
All this has left me wondering what people are actually looking for on a dating site like CS. I’m guessing that it’s probably very different things for different people. If people are not actually looking for a partner, I’d really be interested to know what draws them to a site, which is designed for single people who do want to find a partner.
Dating, as in every other area of life, involves making choices. Coming from a place of self awareness means being really conscious of the choices we make. In relation to online dating, I believe that in addition to many other factors, the issue of whether the other person has taken the jab or not is likely to become increasingly important in the future.

Woman
I was wondering, are there any woman that love to be pampered
“Why are you still here on a dating site if you’re already married!”
Art and I get questioned that a lot. I could understand if those asked weren’t aware of the existence of CS blogs/forums where Art and I actively read and participate but coming from those who are aware that I am constantly participating on the blogs ( sometimes forums ), hmmmm…..that’s ‘hum ga ling’ 
It’s a Cantonese swear word! 
He would normally not respond. I, on the other hand, will give a response, depending on my mood
Today MiMi is not in the mood to do so
However, there’s a pertinent question I would like to throw it out there for the CS mods.
Why call this site ‘ConnectingSingles’ and then at the same time have the options of ‘Married’, ‘In A Relationship’ and ‘Not Single/Not Looking’ on the marital status?!?! 
Then again, married members can still claim they’re not married and who would know any better?!?
We all have our very own reasons to be here. If the fact that married/not single people are on here bothers you, then I would suggest …….
Have a cupcake!
Or two cupcakes!
P.S: Just like some of them here, I also question what makes others think they have the right to say to people, “Hey you, the married one! Leave!”

why people never meet on connecting singles
proper etiuette in meeting for friendship or more is to use the old reliable telephone time wasters and that is almost everybody think kik , emails, texting is the way to do it. but remembers they are all scammers none meets anymore
It's been years, since I've been with . . .
. . .lemme just back-track and say this. I've been in a couple of relationships where I encouraged my partner to bring in another lady for us.
So, when it comes to sex, I've been with women before; however, I've never had a lady as a significant other. I can't call myself "Bi-curious" because the physical mystery has already been unraveled. Alas, there's still the emotional mystery, though.
I've never connected with a sister on an intimately emotional level, and I'm curious if it's possible for me to even go to that distance with a woman. I'm totally open, but simultaneously intimidated, because my concern is . . .well, what if we really dig each other, but there's no chemistry? Welp, I got another friend, but now we're both frustrated. Well dayum.
I sure hope that isn't the case. I'm certain it's possible to fall for the right lady. I've just gotta sift through, to see who's compatible.
I feel compelled to open that possibility now, though.

Wide-Open !!!
During the short time of my life span , the little experience I've got by visiting online dating sites , I've noticed some interesting facts ..
One of them is ,
The use of the word "OpenMinded" on the profiles on a dating site !!
Initially , by the mention of the word "OpenMinded" , we usually think of the Definition as " A person , Who is Intelligent , Wise , Enlightened , Adventurous to Explore and Learn about New Ideas , Flexible enough to Understand and Cooperate with Differences and Disagreements , Who can Balance well between Analytical Logical Practical Brain and Emotional Heart " ...
At least , this is suppose to be the Ideal Definition of the word "OpenMinded" , Right !!
But...
When it comes to the Profile Description of an Online Dating Site , the whole Meaning actually change 360° (in most cases) !!!!!!
On a profile , on a dating site , if the word "OpenMinded' was mentioned , then (most likely) it actually means that ,
The Person is Open for a Relationship , Without any Boundary of Trust , Loyalty , Commitment , Responsibility and Legal/Social Validation...
Let's say it straight forward ...
The Person is Open to have Extra Marital Affairs or As many Affairs possible with Multiple Partners at the same time side by side , in most cases ...
On the Contrary ...
If you Ask The same Person about their Preference to Choose someone as their Partner for a Stable Long Term Relationship or Marriage Or to Start a Family with ,
Then Surprisingly (most likely) , you will find that , The Person is Not Open at all to Accept someone as a Partner , from Different Race , Different Religion , Different Culture , Different Economical Status , Different Age (Specially for a Male it'll be Not Acceptable to Choose an Older Female as Partner) etc. , in Most Cases !!!
So...
Now , whenever I see the Word "OpenMinded" mentioned on a Profile on a Dating Site , I just feel totally confused that ,
What might be the Real Interpretation of that Word , for the Profile Holder !!!!!
