oranges2apples: it's hard to read between the lines, especially hear dealing with so many cultures and interpretations. quite often i feel misunderstood, or find out i was under the wrong impression myself. leads to some pain in someones life i'm sure they could do without. JMO
scousedon: True but how long can one sit on the fence
evidently quite awhile . enough time is wasted around the fence peeking at the grass comparing shades and tints of green. sure we all want a certain thing we feel we deserve, but we seem to denie ourselver so much in the meantime. and probably have missed several opertunities just because the profile said they smoke, or listen to the wrong kind of music, were 2 years to old/ young.... you get the point. it's pretty easy to dismiss someone online for the smallest reason, when in real life it is a very dealable situation that a simple comprmise would make all better.

Well i think I touched lucky with someone on here that I do not feel a great deal of compromising needs to be done. Maybe I was lucky, right place, right time.

the thing about fence sitting is that-at least to me-so many here have had very bad relationships in the past and are too nervous about starting a new one or since everyone is in fear of some kind of rejection they want to bottle everything up until they know if they will be refused or not for one reason or another.
quick judgments as to a persons age, music, marital status is part in parcel to an uphill fight in internet dating. It is so easy to disregard someone for simple things because it is the computer and basically all you have to go off of is a profile and sometimes a picture. Since the majority of people are NOT on the forums how else is a person going to be chosen except things they write and what they describe or look like
when it comes to talking to more than one person-depends on what the quality of the talks are and what they are being used for.
I talk to a few people on the phone and through email who are friends and would probably not be a good match as anything but friends.
As far as this thread goes 1 person has struck my fancy making me want to get to know him more than a friend level--but I like to take things slowly because after jumping in head first in bad relationships with bad people I want to not make the same mistake again

Thats sound talking F4N..and yes we should'nt let past mistakes affect future relationships..sometimes easier said than done... so have you told this one person?

yes it is easier said than done but the point is to try
that is why I basically decided to start online dating-if they are 100s or 1000s of miles away I can figure out if our personalities match better and before we jump into bed
