When to give up! (28)
smalltowngirlONMidland, Ontario Canada28 Threads 401 PostsHow long do you think you should be on a single's dating site, without meeting any friends or the man of your dreams before you should give up????
I wish I had an answer as I am in the same boat.
so send each other a flower and discuss it 
I am not saying I am having a problem, I was just seeing what others point of views were. I don't believe love is something you should ever give up on.
I don't think love is something you should give up on, but if it has been a while and you are not having luck on the site, you should find another way of going about it. I believe that about 6 months is the limit. If nothing comes along then perhaps internet dating is not for you. That isn't to say stop trying, it just means you might have to find another way.
Well I do not think that we should limit ourselves to expecting to find love solely (spelling? lol) on a dating site. I believe in faith and when faith strikes we will find that special someone just for us. I personaly love this site and enjoy using the forums and have made many friends here. Dated a couple. Didn't work out but at least it was a experience for me and shows me not to give up hope either.
Just take it day by day and enjoy yourself and not worry too much about it. I am sure your time will come soon enough :o)

In my opinion, when it comes to finding the person of your dreams, you know your soulmate, the time it takes shouldnt be a factor. Finding your special someone shouldnt have boundaries unless you want to settle for something that is not genuine or true to you.
I think maybe the dating sites shouldn't be taken so seriously. Yes the potential is there to make a connection, hell My father is a happily married man compliments of the internet connection! So it does happen. But killing yourself looking like you are trying to close a deal before and expiration date to me just breeds opportunity for disaster. I think people should cool their jets, get to know people. Use this and other dating sites as a tool for interacting, practice flirting, getting in the game again and for making friends. My life has been enriched dramatically by the connections I have made and really I think of this as a friends connection. But if the right spark flies born from the connections I make....You can bet I'll be looking for the marshmallows!!
Yeah I agree with pucks time sholdnt be a factor love will find away
I think when you start to become disillusioned by your experiences ... personally I think that people's expectations are too high sometimes and they expect immediate results. As in the "real" world there are no time limits .... its simply a matter of being serious about what you desire, getting to know people and taking it from there. The amount of effort you put into it as well can sometimes determine your outcomes too.
As well .... this is only one method to connect with people .... there are limitless options in connecting with people within your own community ... so I think its important to not limit yourself to one method for connection.

you could give up on the site, but never give up period
you haven't met any friends? Hi friend!!!
Maybe I think it's about not having an agenda, i.e "looking for soulmate # 37". When I see an ad that says "looking for a soulmate"... I hear lonely/desparate. Whats wrong with friendship, casual dating, etc. If I meet someone and it turns out I've met someone really special, and, I met them through this forum...Bonus.
I think showing all your cards by saying one is looking for a soul mate right off the hop is like going from point A to point Z without the in between. But definately I will never give up looking. I just won't go trolling either, hoping someone gets caught in the net.

Never Give Up!!!
This is the only single's site that I have been on. I have been on here since October, 2005. I met a man who is now one of my dearest friends. I went to visit him at his home for three weeks in Texas in 2005/2006. I have been on dates with two very nice men who had to travel for a few hours in order to take me out for a meal and conversation. They were both very nice gentlemen. Never give up! L.
