I have no idea how I got here...it just popped up on my screen. However, once I found out it really was free, 100% fee with no catches, I decided to join.
I was at a place in life where I finally decided it was time to start dating again. I had accomplished everything in my life that I wanted to before dating again and my family and career were on the right track. So, I decided to give it one more go...
if memory serves me ...... My Son (who is 28) pointed it out to me and then said why not mom go ahead and give it a try at least you might get a few laughs and yes i was single at that time.
I was really considering moving to the States at that time in my life (almost a year and a half ago), and i was more looking at the southern states because i love their accent (I know I know...how dense was that reasoning!!..lol...well i had to start somewhere!!)
When i looked up "dating sites" for Southern States this site came up...and well of course the rest is history!
i saw it on google and unlike others you didnt have to pay to talk to people so i joined, i tell you what it was best choice ive ever made cos i found my true love here
Hey now,girl...be nice! I don't think it was dense but,then again....I AM biased! It's the infamous..."How did you get here?",question.Hmmm I wasn't really looking for anything in particular. I just kinda "run-up on it",surfing the net one day last August.Ain't never looked back since.I can't say that I was lonely but,can't say I was "Happy as a Lark",either.Just kinda existing...know what I mean?
I was checking out local sites and saw an ad for this one. Turns out I don't even remember the name of that other site because this one is so great. I was worried when I came to forums and everyone lived so far away and not local, but then I met some people and found out it was just geography, not a curse. And I have made great friends here.
Was physically attracted to a man from another site, but when we talked on the phone I think we both knew there was no intellectual connection but he told me about this site...never saw him in the forums though.
Thread: How Did You Get Here?? ~~~~I think my dad took a liking to my mom, then approximately nine months later, like it or not, there I was.
Do you remember how you found "Connecting Singles" and what prompted you to join? ~~~~I had just gotten on another 'free' site and I saw the ad. for CS. I thought, "Nothing to lose". This site has kept my interest.
Where were you at that stage in your life?? ~~~~I had been in hibernation for long enough. It was time to crawl out of the cave and get some sunshine.
I always thought dating site were for desparate losers. I was so wrong! My girlfriend met her fiance on a dating site, so I thought I'd give it a go. I googled 'free dating site' and this popped up. Not sorry one bit, I have met some cool friends, and a lovely, romantic crush
