Today Is My 3 Year Anniversary On CS.... ( Archived) (172)

Sep 2, 2009 10:31 AM CST Today Is My 3 Year Anniversary On CS....
petalbabe: I was on CS since December 2008. I had a few dates, lots of flowers and emails etc for quite a while. I started talking on the forums as friends with someone back in January, then we started "courting" back in late May of this year; it just happened - the original attraction was there, but we were both in different places prior to May, so we were just friends.

Love grew over a couple of months, and finally I moved to the US last month. We will have further some news for y'all next week..

To Polar - sorry, Im confused, honey - I thought you said last week you were with someone from CS, now you have said you are not?

To Mike - I think you are a lovely guy, and will no doubt meet Ms Right at the right time in your life.



It was about this same time for me, when i started the forums, and was here a little before that, best wishes to all, I will wait till it feels right, and glad some slipped by, Ha tho i will be patient, in what will work, and what wont, and wishing you the Very Best Friends, Larryhug teddybear

mbcasey: 3 years here and still looking....should I celebrate my anniversary or cry?

How long have you been here?

How many dates/relationships have you had?

Do you think it will ever happen for you?

Please share because I need some hope. I need to believe it will happen. Thank you.

My sincere condolences for the three years...laugh

I have a comment to add that might resonate somewhat with other members here.

As some may know, I was banned from posting for a month back in July, and that was exactly when my romance blossomed. I consider the forums on CS brilliant, but I am of the opinion that they can become habitual, and if you are constantly posting you can lose track of what alot of us are really here for, i.e. finding romance. Some are not, of course, and just want friends, but the majority I think are here for a common purpose.

I made this comment because I think it was interesting that when I was unable to post, thats when I could really concentrate on my love life. Perhaps there is a lesson in there somewhere?dunno laugh

As in, it is very easy to get taken up with purely posting with friends, and then consequently get distracted from the lurve side sometimes. Just a thought!

That is a very good awareness petal, and yes , at times threads go so fast, and Many too, i do see we can be blind-sided! More like being above the clouds in an airplane, we dont see what is below, (i will think on that), as i see u as a woman of wisdom and truth. Therefore one I have ALLWAYS had Great respect for....Great minds think alike. wave wow peace grin dancing

I've been here since April 2008. I've had one very promising prospect. But we didn't work out. There's always hope on the horizon, my dear friend. But you already know that. Chin up & always be optimistic! wine

I can see why threads can occupy mst of our mind -stealing some of the precious time to find our sweet twin soul- adulation, self-adulation and the like are great magnets for people´s attention too.laugh

Been on CS quite a while too. But, I have never expected that this will be the place where I will find my other half! grin

You can meet your match just about anywhere, this is just *another possible place*.

So... she's out there somewhere, don't give up! comfort yay

Better way of saying it is: I had never let myself have any EXPECTATIONS that I would find my other half on CS.

Who knows..I could bump into him at the Supermarket or petrol station. dunno grin

mbcasey: Thanks to all who have posted. I appreciate your kind words. I didn't want to create a sappy woe is me thread. I was kind of numb when I realized I have been here for 3 years. Just wanted to get it off my chest I guess.

I told a friend in private that it just seems so wrong to be here for 3 years. I think I have learned a lot, but I have so far to go. I am quite naive when it comes to relationships.

I have many faults and I realize that. I am a whiner sometimes on the forums, but not last night or today. Like I said, I just feel numb.

I have made so many friends here...some have come and gone. That's the way it is here and in real life. I do appreciate my friendships very much. I am not numb to that at all...I am blessed. Thank you all....



I know how you feel Ken....it seems wrong for me to be here this long too....think I am gone by my sell by date....laugh

I suppose for those of us who have not had the first date yet, myself included our time will come. You cannot rush anything as it won't happen any sooner. comfort

mbcasey: Hey Dan...

Earl and Shelia were 2 of the 1st people I met here. Their story is inspiring, like so many others on here who met and got married.

I know you have had some close calls. I really hope you will meet someone soon. A Harley looks much better with a lady on the back...

Best of luck my friend.




Thx Ken, I remember ragging on Earl one ight and you asking why I was being cruel to him and Had to confess he was my R/L brother laugh


Close calls only count in Horseshoes, not here dunno

I have been here for about the same amount of time, Ken (around 3 years or maybe even more), but have not been actively searching or seeking for a very long time. I joined because I wanted to hopefully meet men in my area who had nothing to do with my job in any way and, being an American abroad, I was finding that all whom I met were indeed introduced to me through some affiliation to my work. I've met men, I've dated, and I've never regretted being on this site. But have I met "THE ONE"??? No, I have not. But it's ok, really, for I have had more positive experiences than I have negative. I've made virtual friends and very real life friends. I haven't found love, but I've found some wonderful people who enrich my life... some here on the Forums, some whom I have met here in Greece, some with whom I only communicate by messages.
Do I think it will happen for me (as you asked)?
No.
