In response to: Being in love is great if my memory serves me right but falling out of love can hurt very deeply. I haven't been seriously involved for a long time. So is there anyone else afraid of falling in love?
No, not with the right person, if you let fear rule your life, then you have no life!

snuggs99: I think it's because some of us are here just to meet friends. We're not all looking for a partner.
Whats wrong with being both a friend and lover to your partner? I think you need to develop the interest and friendship before the relationship can progress! There are countless sites on the web that you can develop friendships on, but I think most are initially attracted to CS is because that's it's a dating site.

Godsgift: Yes, we're on a dating site and there's no shortage of potential partners but most of us are still single. Do you never wonder why that is?
I think that for many of us being in a dating site allows us to slowly gain confidence in relationships after the last one failed. The downside of being in a dating site is that for some it is like being on a ride that they find difficulty in get off. JMO

Well said Hot rod and I agree. It takes time to develop into a into a full blown relationship in which both parties are totally confident in the other, even more so if it is a LDR as both parties involved also have obstacles and commitments in their own respective lives to put in order so as to be able to move ahead in the new direction.But you have to start somewhere

There's nothing wrong with being a friend and a lover to your partner.
What I meant is, there are people on here who are married, people who have a love interest and some people aren't looking for a love interest. Those people are just here for friendship. I'm not married, don't have a boyfriend and at this point in my life don't want a boyfriend. It doesn't bother me that I'm alone but I do still like to interact with people from all over the world.
