Why do men and women come on cs and put up a profile and let others think they are looking for the real thing and then run once they find someone great? They start with this crap of.. oh I am so confuses... oh I do not know what I want.. oh this is happening to fast and heaven forbid you use the dreaded "LOVE" word.
Why be confused? Why play games? Why so much thought? YOu feel attracted, you want to be loved, you think the other person is nice, cute, wonderful...whatever.. so why not just go with it. One day at a time and see what happens. If you are not sure you are ready for a relationship make sure the person you are flirting with, talking to, perhaps kissing, making love too...knows that up front. Then there is no confusion..its out there plain and simple.. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I WANT... I AM CONFUSED>... do not pretend you know what you want.
It depends on what that lil part that asks "What are you looking for?" thingie says..
When confronted with the question within an email... its more or less... I am not sure... only because they're not... they may have thought that the person they were with was "it".. but was lacking something else...
Most come just to conversate... make friends... have a lil fun...
You have to admit... some of the questions they ask on this and other singles sites are vague...
Why jump into something with someone you talk to on the computer so fast?? Isn't there a flow to go with??
Some acutally feel more quickly than others... and yes.. they may be "scared" because they don't know how the other will react...
I would say.. learn to read between the lines... ask questions... trust your instinct..
This should be a great topic but probably wont..I have the same question because have sent many un-answered messages. Especially on another site which is local to me. Cs has been pretty good however and I find myself coming back here more than the others . There are some pretty cool people here. I think computer dating is basically a failure but at least some friendships can be made., Are men as bad for not responding as some of the ladies? Sweetcheeks, you are so right to ask this question. It should be a simple thing to just lay it all on the table even if you are separated by distance, If there is any attraction between two people it should be spoken and then a great dialouge should follow. When your talking about love, nothing should interfere. Not distance or money or personal problems. With all our modern convieniances, and such a spoiled society we are, I think we expect way more than we deserve. I have backed off a great deal on the pursuit of a computer date because of the seeming disinterest I have encountered. But its ok to just have a few laughs and meet some nice people on here too. I wish you; and anyone else who is feeling like you are all the best and, here's a big hug just for you sweet.
Well... if you have children who see the other parent on a regular basis.. its a HUGE problem... I don't know about other states, but here in good 'ole Alabama... you can't move out of state unless you have the other parents permission...
Money... sorry.. but if you are not supporting yourself.. Don't expect a lot of people to just up and move to take care of ya...
Personal problems.. everybody has them... but some may conflict with relocating.. *see above*..
That's why I said ask questions... if it's more trouble thans it worth.. and I mean no disrespect... move on...
I do emphasize with you with your situation MissMe, and I know about raising 4 kids. All grown and gone. But I think also that people will find a thousand reasons to live a degraded level of happiness. Did that for many years too. My point is that there are so many possibilities we let go because of preconcieved idealism and procrastination. People get into a "rut" and then won't reach out for the rope that saves them . I believe that love can exceed all of that, it "takes" a big step or it "wouldn't" be worth it. any way ,,just the ramblings of a zoodle.

also if someone moves here to be closer to me or to pursue a relationship then they will get their own place until we see whats what.That way if it doesnt work out ,you have a place to live.I am ready for a relationship but wont rush into a COMMITMENT.2 different things in my book.
A very wise attitude to have Miss Mel...especially for women; the old virtues of honesty, integrity and honour has for the most part fallen by the wayside; it the age of the "new morality" which in essence means it's ok to lie, steal and cheat to get what you want; it's all about selfishness. It seems to fall under one of the Age of'f...age of Illusions, Delusions or is it disillusion...probably the latter, hence why "love" is in so much trouble today; no one can afford to take a chance and trust another, let alone someone from the other gender in regards to "love". The old game of lies and deceit versus truth and honesty goes on to everyone's loss....sad.
Replying to 2 posts here... were you raising those kids on your own.. you had complete custody.. no visitation from the other parent?? A degraded level of happiness??.. dude if I leave this state and not confirm it with the courts.. I go to jail.. no man is worth that.. or woman.. The only rope that saves is yourself.. I will not expect others to save me... what good would I be to them??? More dependance??
They would defintately have to be ready to relocate... because my ex would never agree to let me be happy in another state.. And my son would dislike me for keeping me from his dad.. A commitment is forever... a relationship comes and goes... very well said Cute... but if you have no children and can afford to scoot off to diffenernt parts of the country.. go for it.. What my point is ... talk to someone if in a diff. state or country for quite a bit before you make that jump... otherwise.. you will have just a job to keep you company..

well kidaling you are at a different place than me. My kids are my priority right now and the man who gets with me has to understand that which is why I dont pursue long distance relationships or immature people.
I was certainly not refering to children as misplaced priorities MissMe .. Please read back and try to under stand that I am only trying to talk about positive aspects of love .... You aare trying to put words in my mouth and I feel like I am now defending myself.
Hey Cute... maybe I am just thinking in the realms of a single parent here..
But single men.. that have children and either don't have full custody or only see them on a visitation basis have more freedom to choose where they can or cannot go??
