Stress and tension. People get on a site h*ll bent to score. Either a quicky, a date or a mate. That is not how life works. Most matches are made casually. You get to know a co-worker, your repeat clerk or waitress. You gather at a party and talk to everyone the same..girl, boy, young, old, single , married.cheers conversing You, at least most, don't pounce on a person and ask..wanna get married?
Date sites, first off, no one knows how to say hi. Or..that is all they do!doh Right...on here it has to be 4 letters..so hello. What do you say to the next person in the checkout line? Hi? NO! You mention the wait time. Or the weather. Or I see you have that item, have you tried it before? You know..stuff.
Some of us are on here for fun/ chatting/ entertainment or social contact. We do threads and blogs.
Want a relationship? Pretend you at at a gathering or party. Talk like it. Then WITH TIME, things may progress and you find someone you have been chatting with, means a bit more than the rest.
The best mate is that person that was your best friend first. Stop rushing it. You click or your dont. Cant force it. Get to know people on the site. Visit. Don't view them like a prime cut of meat.roll eyes roll eyes handshake

I find here it’s one extreme to the other they want to meet you straight away or just chat to you with no intention of meeting,
I’m actually ok with just chatting if their honest about it.

For me personally I prefer the face to face meeting and chatting I’m much better at it and finding after being on here for a while my conversation skills are gone to **** .
doh

Stalkers are a good reason to not share too much for a long time. You can block on here. Not so easy in real life. Once he kills you, they will give you a restraining order.laugh

Come to think of it, I've *never* gotten a long term relationship from a website.

Indeed, it seems, the long term relationships I've known have begun while I was looking the other way and distracted by something else. Not even looking for or expecting a relationship at that time or moment.

Sadly, I don't recall ever seeing a girl across a crowded, smokey room and saying to myself, 'I'm going to make her mine,' and then did. (And it's just as often, that I dodged a bullet after getting to know more about them.)

Perhaps it's fate. Perhaps it's because women pick the men, not the other way around. Perhaps it's because women can smell want, desire or desperation, but groove on someone who is calm, confident and not on the prowl.

Dunno.

I got my last wife by placing a bottle of perfume on the passenger seat of her car.. Next thing I know, there's a baby on the way, and a wedding being planned, by her, and my soon to be mother in law.. It's all a blur to me... drinking

CS is not a dating site. Most people are wishing for a miracle.

Dating is hard work.

I never intended to get married when young. Then met my husband to be in high school and decided maybe there was SOME worth to males.laugh Checked out the bar scene and others when single again. Met my late husband when he went past my farm and ran out of gas with his Harley. Good bye guys I dated, hello husband..dropped on my doorstep. Met my guy now under Strictly Platonic when Craigs did date stuff.
Seems when it is meant to be, it happens. The harder one tries the less chance to meet someone worthwhile. The saying goes, one has to kiss a lot of frogs. The risk is when people dont take the time to discover that frog is actually a toad!doh
I know marriage at my age is not important anymore. No kids to raise, no house to buy, no future to grow together, no learning to trade. But, what is odd is now lots of young people have do desire to marry. Which is weird is that it seems it is a bigger deal for gays to get that license. Guess cause always was impossible.
More and more people opt for single-hood now. Which is bad for kids, but saves on divorces.
I knew a few guys that the song fit. Just go to a bar and buy some woman a house. I told my late tenant after we moved out a %^*^&$ he had that next time he wanted a woman, do me a favor and just go to the womens prison, stand outside the fence and wait for one to escape!frustrated
He did end up on some date site I found out when he wanted me to meet a woman he had met and wanted to move in. She turned out nice. But, left him cause he had issues. Oh well. Such is life and me without a wife the saying goes. They never married even tho she wanted it.dunno

When I joined CS in 2006 it was a dating site. A way to meet men and women without hanging out in a bar.

The Personal Ads in newspapers was known as The Lonely Hearts Club and people answered ads for a blind date. I don't think Personal Ads in newspapers exists any longer. dunno

CS is the only social site I am on. When I joined I was looking for a relationship and in the 15 years that I've been here I have met three men in person and one online for a lengthy relationship.

I don't find fault with social sites if they are used to make you happy/content with your life. It is when you have expectations of a wedding that hearts are broken.

If you are looking only for a one night stand and no one gets hurt by it then it is no ones business how you find someone to make you happy even if it's just for one night.....or one hour giggle
