There are a lot of people from Ireland and you can really meet people, make friends, even meet someone. It's different for me.

There aren't many men in my area (none of them on the forums and blogs) and after thinking a lot I came to the conclusion that I simply started lacking courage to meet men from the internet living in another country. Too many complications. And the internet changed. People online changed. I cannot trust so easily any more...

Pen-palling, just for the sake of talking to people worldwide, again, isn't fun to me any more. It requires a lot of time and started to seem pointless. Even here - on CS - I exchanged long messages with people who seemed nice, but then - what's the point? Spending hours replying to someone I will never meet? It used to be interesting for me in the past, but now - it's only... some obligation and pressure.

So, I think this is the best solution for me now.

Ivee had to re-evaluate what this place means to me too on many an ocassion.

At least u recognise what you want and dont want...thats the main thing.

See this place only as a source of fun a d enjoyment where you can.

There are easier ways of dating than on the internet....
You could even meet someone in your local shop....(its happened people i know).

But ya i get the frustration.

Being here really helped me sort some things out in my head. It was really helpful.

It was the same 7-8 years ago when I was a member of CS for the first time. I was so confused about what I wanted next and spending some time here, reading the threads, talking to people, etc. actually cleared out some things for me.

And now - again. I was in some state of mess and confusion when I came here - some things ended and I had no idea what I wanted and where I was going and - after being here for a while - I have much clearer picture about myself and future.

Sometimes, you go somewhere looking for one thing and find another.

Seems to be a good place for you so, Maya

Ya i get the coming for one thing and getting another...came here on the forums just to unwind and just meet plp as friends...didnt expect to meet someone and go out with them.

It all works out well in the end...or at least thats what im hoping for

Ya
Ive met a few....just as friends mind you but ya met them...

Only met two for dating..the first one was last year....and now the other guy this year.

Ill post one of my neighbours over to you....you like farmers with missing teeth ya??

Hell knows
