Online Expectations (24)
Laceylou: When you first joined this, or any other, dating site, what were your expectations?
Did you expect to find "the one" within a certain time period?
Did you fall in lust with the first person you met and expect it to last forever?
Did you get the fright of your life on your first date and swear "never again"?
Did you get your heart broken? Did you break a heart?
C'mon.......spill

Emm, what did I expect?
Well, I never expected to meet 'the one', nor did I ever expect to meet the love of my life, or, if I'm being really honest any form of love or otherwise. I set my aim a bit lower, that way anything after that would be a bonus.
I was/am essentially just looking for people that I click with, that share similar likes/interests/mindsets that understand me and I understand them; its proving somewhat more difficult that I had imagined, either I'm pretty unique or just an oddball
I dunno, maybe in the process I have hurt or let down some people, break a heart, no, well, not that I'm aware of

Probably a good philosophy to have, not having any great expectations.
That's where I am now (not that I'm actively looking at the moment), but when I first signed up to online dating, I thought I'd be fighting them off with a stick!!! It wasn't too long before I had my eyes opened on that score

the first person I met off here very nearly put me off the site cause he was totally not how he described himself to be, looked a bit like his pic and that's it.
have hung around and made some good friends both here and overseas so for that it's been worth it but thinking about all the rejections iv had on here pretty much put me off looking for anyone for a while anyway. I still reply to some mails but don't send out any new ones myself, don't see the point when they don't get replies

This whole online thing is rubbish anyway with the rare exception, I've been around this site and others to realise that now. Ok, you get to know people you wouldnt otherwise know, but its totally un-natural and superficial. The only way to meet someone is face to face, you know if you are gonna get on with someone or not pretty quick.
I'm really just here for the forums now, but, just hanging by a mere thread!

Not trying to be cheesey or anything Sal but I'm surprised you've had rejections, are you not batin' them off with a stick?

nope, out of the last say 10 new mails I sent out I got maybe one reply of a thanks but no thanks. was one fella at one point I thought might go somewhere but for unknown reasons he seemed to change his mind after saying he was interested Green_Sleeves: This whole online thing is rubbish anyway with the rare exception, I've been around this site and others to realise that now.

Have to agree with you there. I've got on famously with people online, thought we would get on great in person, but knew within a couple of minutes of meeting that it was sooooooo not gonna happen.
The reverse is also true, so I suppose it's all pot luck
I'll do my best to answer.... dont know if its 100% relevant
Honestly, I expected to join,give it loads of time before I got any responses...
its a bit overwhelming...you have mails and flower requests, date requests etc...
any dates I went on were fine to be honest... but we had chatted alot.. previous e-mail, text, phone etc..
we were looking for same things etc that's why I went on dates but If i'm honest I felt no chemistry etc etc.. and not as expected maybe we chatted too much first but I would not meet some one I did not feel connected with.
My other half, in the meantime ..we were friends and somewhere along the way that changed... we went on a lunch date, he asked for proper dinner date I agreed it was fantastic and we never looked back xxx
But I can def say the internet dating does work, and maybe more than we know (alot of people don’t say they meet on-line)... I have been to 2 weddings they meet on-line.. another couple engaged getting married next yr ...& another couple happily in love with baby on the way...
When I was on here meet and chatted to some fantastic people .. so all good..
Maybe i’m biased . ... not meet my other half on here but perhaps it led me to the one xxx
Not sure if this helps but felt maybe sharing it would benefit xxx

Laceylou: Not much happening on the forums since I joined a few weeks ago.
I wonder is that just a coincidence

Don't worry they've been going down for the last few months! In fact they are so bad now that it's hard to belive they were once such good crack. You just joined at the wrong time.

I expected to meet people..I think too many people on this site cry and whinge about not having any success well thats down to their own lack of action..if you want something to happen you make it happen..I met a quare wan last night from the fishy site...got a bit of mouth to mouth and hand on tit that was it..I'm sure next time I'll go balls deep in her..These sites are what you make of them

i'v been a witness at a wedding of someone i met online so i cud give you away!!
I came in here with no real expectations which has made the blow of getting less action than Andy Carroll did when at Liverpool, easier to take.
My motto for life is "expect nothing and then you will never be disappointed!"
We are all responsible for our own happiness, never ever rely on someone else to make you happy!
All that said I did join here hoping to find a partner....I would have had better luck in the Zoo
