I think the idea, AM, is to mess with singles' minds.

Nope. It's not really a new trend, actually. Many have stuck around, for whatever reason(s), after they have supposedly 'met' their match. Of course, most of the questions you have posed are subjective, per person/couple.
Personally, for me... I wouldn't continue to be a member on a Dating Site if I were in a committed relationship, regardless of where me & my significant other actually met. But, that's just how *I* feel about it.
To each their own...

AutumnMelody: I notice that now, on dating sites, when two people hook up, they don't leave! They continue on, with pics of them and their SO together, which is really cute.
But, is this the new face of dating sites? Do people become addicted and can't stand to leave? Or do they just want to stay to communicate with others here? Or, are they still thinking something better may come their way?
Are people settling and hooking up, just to say they have someone? What is the attraction of a dating site after you've already found what you were looking for?

You are correct, I thought the same when I first joined this site... but I have been here a while and have made friends and love to read the threads and to post....
People on this site are fun, funny, helpful and in a lot of cases friends. That is why people who have hooked up stay... It is also nice to see that it can work.

Hi RHT... been a while. Isn't it cool that we can have different opinions and not worry about it?
To each their own... I would miss some of the happy couples if they were to leave... Nuala/Jim Lola/guitarman Mr&Mrs Kissmedeeply to name a few

Hiya, ltlmstrouble! I wouldn't necessarily call it a difference of opinion on the matter, overall. I just have my own feelings/opinions, in regard to *myself*. I have absolutely no right whatsoever to judge any person for the decision they make in regard to the questions posed by the OP. And if a person/couple chooses to stay on the site after having found "The One", then it's really none of my business as to the reasons "why"...Indeed, to each their own......
Always a pleasure seeing you, by the way.

Hello, Mr. Dooby...

These sites are very addictive and they can take up much of your time..
I would like to believe that if i did meet someone that we both would say goodbye to the sites...
I would like to think we would have better ways of spending our time..
I couldn't stand the thought of our conversations being about who posted what on the site forums that day

Well, Ma'am, let me put it like this:
I don't know that it's new trend, per se, but this is the reason that I am still here:
I met the wonderful lady who became my wife thanks to CS. Part of our courtship involved the ability to send virtual flowers. Even though we were married in August of 2007, our courtship is an ongoing, living thing and we continue to send each other virtual flowers as well as e-cards through CS. And even when I occasionally take a break from the forums, I remain a member simply for the ability to send the aforementioned flowers to the light of my life.
Speaking of the forums: I understand that I am tolerated by most, appreciated by a few and largely ignored by the rest. Pretty much like real life! And, like real life, I've made some friends here which - due to my ineptitude with e-mail addresses and phone numbers - are easier to keep in touch with via CS. I keep coming back because even though there are threads that I don't participate in - quite a few of which I don't even read - the average I.Q. here seems to be a notch or two above the norm. And the subjects are diverse and interesting. Sometimes even downright thought provoking and inspiring.
To that end, I'll mention that I belong to other forums, but they are geared towards specific areas of interest and I find the diversity of topics here on CS quite refreshing.
So now you have an answer straight from one of those that you were wondering about.
In all honesty, it never occured to me that someone might find my presence here (being UN-single, and all) disturbing or offensive or think that my motives for remaining here were anything but honorable, but I suppose that I can concede the point.
Sure hope this helps answer your questions.

Don, that was a great answer to my questions. What a romantic you are! I'm glad to hear that you found your love on here, and that you continue to romance her via this site. I wasn't implying that there is anything wrong with you or anyone being here. Was just wondering why. I know these forums can be addictive, and you have let me know they can also be useful even within a marriage. Good for you!

I think these are probably the reasons why some still stay

Thanks Burt! You're still the King in my book! Hey - I just got a little outboard for my beat up old rowboat so now, if you get a chance to make it down this summer, we'll be able to go upstream too!

I signed on with the hopes of meeting someone for a potential long term relationship. Regardless of what happens on that score... I have met some of the most interesting, intelligent, funny, kind and caring people here on the Forums and I would really miss the interaction. I'm relatively new here but have been really impressed by the overall quality of the people that I have conversed with. I am grateful for the beginnings of friendship with some and look forward to getting to know others better. Regardless of what happens in my personal life, there are people here I would hate to lose contact with, and hope at some time in the future I will actually meet a few of them in real life

I think some of these relationships are "on-line relationships" its a new trend, but actually is becoming a new life style...
hey, how hasslefree can life get?
You switch on your lap-top and up pops your on-line partners face!
If you have a bad day, you just dont sign in...
Many are just too far apart to become a real couple,
others life happily in a dream world for a few weeks
and ravish the feeling of being applauded of having
found someone, and possible enjoying even this
form of relationship.
