Hi im a new Member here.... I've not had any luck with online dating, and was just wondering wot others thought of them, and success, failure's, etc.... im one of the most caring guys i know, but all the women i ever meet just want 2 be friends, story of my life :-(..... so any thoughts would be cool.

I guess it depends what you call "Luck". I have met many nice people through emails on this site and others. Usually it goes no further than that. On the forum, I chat with a group, but it's only chatting.

I had one local guy who seemed interested, but after a month of chatting, he wanted me to drop in at his place and was not available when I suggested we meet at a public place.

I guess what slows all this down is distance - does the person live near enough or have the means to visit you? - and - does he have the incentive to step up and say "let's meet in person in a public place"?

And finally, it's luck and fishing - you just have to keep casting your line out there and hope that you get a bite!

I know exactly what you mean sweetheart. I got on here and met a really nice guy. Seemed honest and all to me. We talked on phone and told each other we loved one another, talked about being together forever.. he said he loved me more than i could know and next thing I know he wont even answer phone or respond to e-mail..whats up with that? If he changed his mind or got scared or I freaked him out have the decency to talk to me about it. Send a e-mail..talk about break my heart. How can there be trust when so many people are so hurtful???

There are hurtful people, yes. But, there are wonderful people, too!
It seems like alot when you have this hurt which comes to the front right now, making othr things seem smaller and in hurts shadow...
But, taking chances means we might get hurt. Maybe more than once, twice...What did you learn from it? stay open, but be smart...
Hang in there...

I certainly was not smart. I fell hook, line and sinker. He won't even answer my calls.. whats with that? Anyway are we allowed to say if someone on here is a scammer? I mean watch out for this one.. something up with him.. not much of a man. If he changed his mind or I did something be a man.., send a e-mail or answer phone and confront me. Ughhhhhhhhhhh
