sassy49senior: I came back to CS after my break-up because I truly was
hoping to find a gentleman that would have some of my
same interests, but willing to step out of his comfort
zone, as I would also and try something new. Would like
to find someone who is here to try the dating scene and
see if it may lead to wanting to be together.

But it seems most are here mainly for friendship or just
to be in the forums to see how many people they can rile
up. I enjoy the forums but seems we tend to forget this is
connecting singles. (JMO)


couldn't agree more................

pretzelman: I thought you and Dazzle were an item


We are, in a sense. But right now, he's got bigger things to worry about. We care deeply for each other. But reality is reality. If he wants to meet me in the future, we'll meet. But at the present time, he needs to put all of his time & concentration into getting stronger & building back up. I don't want to stand in his way of that goal. I'll always be here for him. smitten wine

druidess6308: Good morning, Sassy! I originally came on here to find a special man to share my life, and with the patience to sift through to find the right one.

Some things have changed in my life, and other changes may be coming, that have made it necessary to spend some time focusing on me and my life, and my family, and not having the ability to focus on a romantic relationship for a while. So, now I remain for the forums and connecting with other singles to have fun and make friends. We'll see what happens when I'm ready to get romantically involved again, but for now, that's not even on my radar.

Love you, Sis! You and the other dear friends I've made so far, and more that I will most likely make in the future, are why I stay.

I have used a screwdriver handle as a hammer, a hammer as a door stop, pliers to loosen a nut instead of getting the right size wrench out, used a butter knife as a screwdriver, I have even used a phone book as TP rolling on the floor laughing

You mean this site is for datingconfused

doh silly me

Well let's look at the realities involved.
You live in "itty bitty Nebraska",
I live in Southeastern France,
and others here live in Africa, Asia, Australia, Iran, etc etc etc.

It's a global community.

At the very best, only a tiny proportion of people here will live near enough to make real-life dating practical.

But as someone already said, we can still "connect" and enjoy each other's company and share opinions and make friends online, even if we never get to see each other in real life.

It certainly beats cruising bars.
Especially as we get older.

I absolutely agree with Ray grin

I have tried to find a real life date on this site....for four years, as most of you are probably sick of hearing. laugh

And I have tried to put in the hours that it takes to answer emails and send flowers to keep a possible connection going.

But as of yesterday, I gave up.

I don't have the time to find a date here. I have dial-up and it takes FOREVER just to logon!

And I have no time to put up with the drama of the forums.

So connecting for me is now ENJOYING the forums and hopefully staying in touch with online friends here.

Being there in person doesn't stop or hinder the healing. It generally helps to improve the process. But I guess many things have changed as the good man said himself. He may never again be able to work as a doctor.sad flower

I'd go there in a heartbeat if he asked me to. But he's just not ready for me to see him like that yet. And I will respect that. wine

Of-course, that's understandable.

Except you never even mentioned him in your initial response on pg1. I was as surprised as dru to see the omission. Just made it seem you have already completely moved on confused

And that's entirely your call, too.

No, he's made his way deep into my heart. But I'm trying to be sensible about it all. Too many times have I let my heart lead my head. Unfortunately, our relationship doesn't just involve me & him. It involves me, him, & recovery. And recovery must win out for now. I'm just taking a step back into the shadows while he does what he needs to do.

lady93: If I may say it is not impossible. Wealth doesnt have anything to do with it. Unless you are just dirt poor it does not cost a lot to buy a plane ticket. And if you educated and have a career relocating is not a problem. I have meet people in UK someone visited me here before so its not impossible :)


KOOL!! there is still a chance for me to find that special someone!!

If I had it the way I wanted it I wouldn't chat at all. I would like to have a date with her! Writing posts is what I do while I am waiting for her to show up and sweep me away.
