Can a real person really improve on a fantasy life? I don't feel like I am spinning my wheels. I have gotten so much help in here it isn't funny. I have some wonderful friends. I would hate to lose even one of them. I got some major issues I am still dealing with. Please don't leave Joanie. You have always been a great friend to me. But I know the discouraging factor, too. Thanks for leaving your profile up, that is reassuring.
Well I've only been here for 2 months and I think I gave up during the first when I realised that it is more of a friendship site. Everybody knows each other too well and whether that results in the loss of romantic interest, I;m not sure. Either that or people are to shy or afraid to reveal their true feelings for somebody. There have been a couple of success stories so I suppose there is hope.
For me, the forums is a replacement for TV. And I agree with Jan. Have finally started to "fit in" but it's been a good 6 months of persistence to get my foot in the door. Can consider only a couple true friends.
Perhaps while I enterain myself, Mr. Wonderful will join the forums as I don't spend much time looking through profiles.
I joined CS quite a while ago but did not use the site for over a year. Like many I received an email informing me of the formation of the UK forum and so came back out of interest.
I had hoped to use the site and the forums to both make friends and possibly pehaps; just perhaps; find that special one.
Like Arabella I have flowered, emailed and also posted to forums.
My short reaccquantainance has already convinced me that there are better uses for my time and energy.
I feel like a neanderthal man on this site. I am sadly out of touch with many of the opinions expressed on here. Unable to compehend much of the reasoning and have probably got 4 times as many chances of winning the Lotto than finding a kindred spirit.
arabella, Feel the same way girl. I've been here 6 months and thought, time to leave. But then I remember all the friends I have made so I stay. Not the reason I came here but so many have seen me through some good and bad times. The forums are where I have grown to know so many and even helped me to open up a little. If for no other reason stay for the friends and the forums. Cyber Gal Pal, Linda
No Sam, but without a photo many people are less inclined to respond, Are you in the process of changing it?I too have not suffered traumas to the extent of many people here but it is an eye opener to say the least and puts your own problems into perspective. Don't give up, I often feel like you and remove my profile for a day or two but return because I like the discussion and banter. It helps sometimes, it's not the answer to anyone's problems or loneliness here but it can help. Anyway you are one of the very few who responds to my threads so stick in there.
And we love you too,would love to have a visit and share a glass of wine.
Maybe in the new year.
And like you have said before,when you least expected things happen,so in not looking,it doesn't mean you will disregard it if it so happens to come your way.
C'mon Ara', if I'm still here, then you have to remain as well. One does not have to be in love to be in "Love". What the hell do I mean by that ? Not sure. Paws
Leo, you are the reason I am still here after my disillusionment and disappointment last week, but you my darling man are the Romeo of CS and captivate the ladies with your wit, wisdom and kind words which is fine but doesn't equate with the feelings ladies have for finding a special person and getting tired of the waiting and games. I'm sure it is the same for many guys.
