I have been on single sites for awhile, I admit I have not got to the stage of a meeting. But is it just me I find everyone is in a hurry I find they want a relationship first before friendship

alot are in a hurry yes,, some sleep with them right away,, alot of people turn a blind eye to red flags or make excuses for those red flags because they're probably in a hurry,, us older ones,, do not do that,, we have been around the block,, we watch carefully for red flags,, we will not just go out with anyone that is available,, alot of people turn a blind eye to red flags or make excuses for those red flags because they're probably in a hurry,, of course i do not speak for everyone,, but that seems the norm for younger,, i also have talked to men our age,, that are in a hurry as well,, funky world we live in
I sure agree, and "yes" how I notice the red flags and very clear in just a few emails. I do enjoy this new way of meeting, and pleased that my radar is up and running
I do know I am not the only one who is looking for friendship in a relationship, the years ahead of me I sure do want a "goodfriend" in my relationship to communicate with
Look at some of these sites. There is more pics of tattoo's, cars, six packs etc.. then the actual person with a profile. People want to sleep with you then run off to the see who's next in line.

well ty madame,, but ya know,, us older ones,, we are in no rush,, most of us are not doing this again,, so by god,, we can wait for the right one for us
Maybe a person can read a profile and see a picture and think that's just what I've been looking for and therefore he or she might move too quickly in hopes of getting there before the masses. Can seem like stalking I guess but it probably was just to try to meet you as soon as possible. What do I know? I'm from the valley too.
I think a lot of people WANT a relationship, want to be with someone, so they jump. Especially those who feel time is passing them by ... a sense of desperation. On these sites it's easy to be whoever you want to be or whoever the other person wants you to be.
I myself, would have to agree that a lot of people jump into relationships due to the fact that they dont want to be alone, nor do they really care who it is, as long as they feel loved and get affection.
What happens when we all work this way ..
Is we get more divorces.. and less people working on marriage.. the thing is... When your on line .. and you thought u found the one.. get married.. then a year later leave them cause they werent "THE ONE" then they jump back on line and find a new man just as quick and do it over again..
The one bad thing about on line dating is that its just to easy to find a new relationship.. What people need to realize.. if all ur relationships arent working it.. it may be time for you to work on yourself.. a lot of the times its an inner issue that is stopping a relationship from being able to develooe fully.. I know this is all off topic.. But to me.. I think in real life and On the net .. Everyone jumps into relationships to quickly without clearly thinking .. Is this guy the one for me..
because they dont care.. if it doesnt work out .. the next week they'll find someone new..
We need to have more morals.. and higher standards of who we would put ourselves with thanks
FatBrunette - I agree - so many jump because it's easy to jump - it's easier to bail on a marrage or relationship than to work thru the ups and downs. I used to be a jumper but now people have told me my standards are set to high, I've also been told I can spot dysfunctional a mile away
AND this is why I would be still single - I know the right guy will come along but it won't just be someone for the meantime. My parents didn't teach me very much in the way of setting goals - going for the gold. It's taken me 40 years to know I deserve the best.
Brunette - SOme of us grow up way to soon and others never do, but what is grown up really?
Well I mean .. obviously in life.. Your always going to have lil issues come up.. But a lot of the times.. people have inner issues.. and by that I mean .. Havinbg low self esteem and not even knowing it..
was hurt as a child by a past situation that they dont even know is bothering them until someone makes them bring it up .. theres so much
I .. will admit.. And Im sure most of us have.. but I started seeing a shrink ..and chit i thought OHIP would have payed for it .. BUT ANYWAYS..
She has made me realize a lot about myself..and Hearing the words come out of my own mouth .. wow.. it really hits yah .. and I think with only few weeks of going.. Im already a better person..and this.. will help me in my future problems.. when it coms to realtionships or whatever.. But Im not one to give up on what I want ..and ..
Well .. If your going to be with someone for the rest of your life.... and you feel ur really falling for someone.. Why rush???? Your going to be with them forever.. Take ur time.. get to know them ..
