Do you find it off putting that a long term member has never changed their status to "in a relationship"? Some may have had the status of "single" for years.
Personally,I would consider someone who has tried failed at the odd relationship over recent times to be much of a real relationship possibility.
Does seeing someone as being forever single put you off?
Are they all commitment phobics?

dunno

No, I don't think they're all commitment phobes. But changing the relationship status wouldn't go unnoticed by the community, and you know what a hub of gossip this place is.

Making anything public puts a fledgling relationship under way too much scrutiny and pressure IMO.

That's why I'll probably never change anything until the day I'm so sure about this future relationship with whoever, that I delete my profile.

Then there are those who plaster every fledgling date all over the forum before they meet.
There is nothing more off putting to me than witnessing someone posting great detail about what they plan to do to each and every person that they have lined up to meet.
What is all that about?
dunno

They r probably still testing the waters to see if anything better would come along. So it's like one leg in one leg out.
They won't hesitate to dump what they already have, some think the grass is greener somewhere else which makes them not appreciate what they already have.... peace

Yeah, that I don't get that either. I'm happy for those, who feel the need to boast, but I'm not particularly interested.

I like our residential couples, who share their happiness with us occasionally, they are all very nice!! Cheers to them!! cheers

I'm a very private person, I'd never post any details about dates and such in a public forum. I'm sure the other person, provided it was another CS member, wouldn't be too thrilled about it either - it's just disrespectful IMO. dunno

Personally I think that its best to keep a relationship quiet until you know for sure. I've seen too much gossip and jealous people here in my time. If I like someone I'll let them know in private, but won't put it on the forums.

What I would like though, is when people do get married to share their photos - sometimes I wonder why those who claim to be now married from someone they met here, never post a photo together. That kinds strikes me as odd.

The question is about Marital status.
Personally, although I'm in a relationship, the correct answer is still single, coz I ain't married. doh

ooops you are right... the way I read it was: a long-time member that is in a relationship but they still have single in their profile.

I have bit the dust a couple of times and found that I made a big mistake. I am in no hurry to make any more mistakes. If I remain single another 5 yrs. or longer then so be it. This way I can ensure that I am happy as opposed to being miserable in a relationship. cool
