Geriatrix2: So one must ask oneself "why are there so many women on here who are NOT LOOKING?)


Speaking for myself, it started out as friendship 2 months ago, but I've recently been "claimed/chosen." Bam! I was blindsided and I never saw it coming. laugh rolling on the floor laughing

Women don't say they're looking even if they are wave

Trix, for me, the distance created too much of an obstacle for me. I tried it several times and am not putting my heart through that again. I date only locally now.

I made friends on here and enjoy my time with all of you, so don't want to leave CS.

If men are looking why do they want to contact ladies in other countries when they know it wont happen because of distance ,or is it just a game of chance

Thanks for your post KB. Yes, distance certainly can be a killer, but I'm the eternal optimist and believe nothing is impossible in the pursuit of happiness. Crazy I know, but hey, that's me. hug

Hi Candy. Saying it won't happen is not altogether correct. Serena and Tru are an example that it is not impossible.

Difficult yes, but not impossible. Just depends on the commitment shown by the parties involved. My motto is "never say never". bouquet

Yep....same applies to me.

I came on this site a couple of years ago all gung ho, fantasising I would meet someone who would be willing to relocate...doh

I'm more of a realist now....and am not pursuing anything with anyone, not even locally. I've got higher priorities on my list.

...but I do enjoy the banter on here, and have met some lovely people online....which keeps bringing me back...thumbs up

I think for the ones who have found happiness through a LDR, I wish them well and it's always great to see people finding love on here....yay

It's not for me personally. I don't wish to put myself or anybody else through any more unnecessary hurt with unrealistic expectations.

Would had been married to the man of my dreams for 35 years this past Sept 11th but in 2007 he had passed away.


I have no desire to ever enter into a another relationship cause there is no man good enough to fill his shoes.

I think the problem is that if women say they're looking, they'd get a lot of foreign folks hassling them. If somebody seems nice enough, maybe send them a message anyway. You cant get thrown in jail for it or anything. I dont think CS is very big in our part of the world...

I don't think you can ever have too many friends. and the fact that you may never see them becomes rather moot. Just to hear from them and learn a little bit about how they live should improve each of their lives.

There are too many lonely people in this world, and to criticize someone who wants to have other people to talk to here, when that conversation might be the bright point of their day, well.........handshake

Well, I am not looking and I do mean it...
I've been on this site for nearly four years now and I enjoy it. I do talk to different people, some of them met in person(locally), and two of them are my dear friends now...
I am not willing to relocate and I will never ask anybody to do it for me...
As I said many times before, if it happens it happens, but I am not pushing for it... wine
