I find it easy to meet people,chat and even have a date with someone on the online dating sites. It isn't easy meeting someone online and having a long term relationship. Most women I have met just don't want commitment or to date just one person. Is it me or am I correct in coming to this conclusion?confused professor

You're incorrect, and just need to meet the right woman. Many on here are looking for a long term relationship, not just a few dates.

As to your opening question...yes, it's possible to find a long term relationship online. It's just as possible here as anywhere else. There are several successful couples who met right here on CS.

Best of luck to you. Have patience, and keep an open mind. When it's meant to be, the right one will come along. Have faith. cheers

I can't answer this question--too general, but I can say I have dated four women from dating sites. All of them ended by me. What I thought I was going to see and also exchange dialogue with wasn't the same in "real" life. Three of the four didn't look like their pictures. The fourth just wasn't the "right" one for me. Finding someone online and meeting them and having the chemistry when you meet I believe is hard. I know it happens, but hasn't happenned for me. Many women want long term relationship, but just because we haven't found them doesn't change that fact.

Well,I still don't think it is the easy to meet long term online. I mean it is possible,just like it is possible to meet women/men anywhere,but a true fantasy gf is just that,a fantasy. I mean in the real world,the pics don't look the same and they aren't the same person they said they were in their profile...and no,I am not walking the beach again,lol. dancing

Long term suffering? Oh yes, and it's self inflicted.

Well I am just as goofy looking in person as online so there tongue rolling on the floor laughing I think that sometimes it's luck people just find each other and sometimes it's a matter of Russian Roulette which sliver bullet is going to be the one. Even finding good friends is hard both in person and online.

I was just talking to someone on here about this very subject. I went on my first internet date somewhere around 1991. I have been on my and even had a few longer-ish term relationships. I did take a 7 year pause to get married and divorced, then picked up where I left off.

All i can say is in my own personal experience.... they have all been complete disasters.... It's just gotta be me....

Your right,but my point is that what is it about online dating that seems to be so hard? I mean when I was a member of a phone dating thing years ago,it was easy to meet women that wanted a relationship,but this online thing is different. I mean I have been doing it since 2006 and no luck yet with a long term relationship or even one that last more than a few dates. wine heart wings

Online dating is at times like one blind date after another in spite of the pictures and you might have good chemistry with one in fifteen people. Hang in there just keep trying the odds are bound to be in your favor one of these times lol.

I found that when I was dating I usually tried to meet the person or talk on the phone fairly quickly so false expectations didn't build up but then you really don't get a chance to know someone until you have dated or been friends for a while. It just takes time.

You're lucky you didn't talk to those who want to 'get to know each other' seventeen months, before meeting.

That's where common sense should come in there is a place between emails and meeting that gives you an idea of the person. Luscious you are truly a brat. tongue rolling on the floor laughing
