After being on this site and the Forum for over a year, I have given up the idea of dating. I'm leaving my profile up, so don't panic.

Anybody else feeling like they are spinning their wheels and getting nowhere?

Must be the full moon or something rolling on the floor laughing




PS My fantasy life is great rolling on the floor laughing

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.

Don't get me wrong....

This "giving up" is a good thing grin

I want to spend more time with the friends I have than expending energy in finding a guy to date.

I have flowered, emailed and spent time considering what men peak my interest and found that nothing has come of it.

But I LOVE my friends!!!!!

And I will spend the winter working on my upstairs guestrooms in hopes that someday I can have a CS party here grin

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.

so like Arabella

I give up!

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, Lindahug hug

Welcome to the quitters club!
It's a happy place to be!
I've been here for a long long time
Sit. Have a cup of tea

So now you have this lingerie
and a fantasy all your own
all you need is a handsome man
who'll come and make you moan

You're not alone in dreaming dreams
I've been fantasying too
I dream of finding someone nice
a woman who'll be true

Someone I can garden with
and romance on a date
someone who will sleep with me
in lingerie she bought of late

Someone who is real pragmatic
when it comes to daytime life
someone who will smile a lot
when asked to be my wife

Giving up is where it starts.
Surrender all your dreams!
Release them from your inner self
with shrill ecstatic screams

Only self abandonment
can conquer what you seek
capitulate your assertiveness
and relinquish to be meek

Accept the waves of life
as they crash upon your soul
trust with inhibition
that a mate can make you whole

Quitting's not an option
it's beyond your self-control
when your handsome prince discovers you
you'll be the woman he'll extol

So go ahead and quit
it's just a mere cliché
your destiny will ravage you
like a smorgasbord buffet

If love is meant to be
your resistance will be fruitless
your love will be assimilated
by a lover who is ruthless

He'll devour all your lingerie
and consume your naked self
you'll feel like you’re a princess
or a damsel
or an elf

~~~

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.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.
