I know what brings you to join one. We are all looking for someone ... right?
But what keeps you here? Or on any other sites for dating?
I am just about to toss in the towel on them all. I have belonged to several. Nothing real has come from any of them.
I send emails ... get ignored. Someone expresses an interest ... I contact them and they decide to tell me they aren't interested? WTH?? They contacted me first.
I get emails from people 30 years younger than me. I am NOT interested in being someones mother/grandmother.
Or I get emails from people who are "not my type". Not to be mean but there are those who just don't appeal to you (or me) in any way shape or form.
Oh ... or I get emails from people who are clearly "not from this country" and are scammers. I delete them without responding. UGH!!!
So ... tell me. Do you have the same issues and if so, why stay?
I'm curious.
I tried staying on the sites because I had hope. Hope that someday someone would be interested in me and me in them and it would all work out.
So far ... hasn't happened and I'm losing hope that it ever will.

hey hun Im here to purely post on the forums. I find that if your not "looking" and make friends you never know what will happen. I think a lot of people go through the same feelings, but it would be wise to stop waiting for it. Just "go with the flow*
I came on here to actually look for a man who's 20-27 who lives in Germany but, some things change.I was talking to someone here in the states who I grew very fond of and fancied a lot and it seemed like he liked me back and stuff but, something didn't work.=/ Now, I'm not really looking even though it says I am but, I don't really have a feeling for it right now. Meantime, I'm talking on the forums.:)
RadJAD: Or is it that I am just butt ugly or haven nothing to offer or something?!?! Sheesh!!!! lol
having looked at your profile, would it not be best looking for and on a local dating site, as you're only wanting men from Texas, does narrow the field on an International dating site

I am on this site for the forums I haven't scanned the dating side of this site. I really enjoy the interaction with you guys a laugh and debate all good fun. I do belong to other sites I do get quiet a few interest from men in my home town, I am yet to meet the one, also get mail from lots of young boys that need to grow a brain Of course can't forget the scammers bless them. You see sweetie it happens to us all so don't beat yourself up and enjoy the forums. My theory is Bide your time chill and sooner rather than later your Mr right will emerge. Good luck

No, sweet pea, you're not butt ugly, far from it and you're obviously bright by the way you write and therefore have much to offer.
As far as I'm concerned this internet dating malarcky is like finding a needle in a haystack, especially if you're realistic about the components that will make for a successful, long-term relationship for you.
I've not seen you on the forums before. Might I suggest you focus less on finding a relationship, join in the forums, have some fun and let people get to know you? Its a good platform for meeting people.
Its always nice to have new contributors in this wee community.

almera03: having looked at your profile, would it not be best looking for and on a local dating site, as you're only wanting men from Texas, does narrow the field on an International dating site
Good morning almera. I tend to agree with RadJad that she is looking in her own back yard as she wants a relationship now not a drawn out one via the net then just maybe after a lot of expense re- travel a big IF to be or not to be. Not saying you can't meet someone from overseas but it is a lot harder for that to happen and she doesn't want to bother with that. Neither would I. Put that in the too hard basket. As for local dating sites most are all international now so not a lot of choices.
