LACali: Because even though I live in the place I grew up and should be comfortable with local culture there are so many things I don't like and since I can't move I thought maybe I'd meet some people with different values online. You've lived here you have some idea what I'm talking about.
I have a date for New Year's just because I'm tired of not going out and he lives nearby but I'm not really excited about it. I'm starting to go out again with locals but my hopes aren't high.

California is a strange place of many different cultures and people. You live in an area where millions of people live, but you can be alone within that space. I loved my time in California. I hated my time in California. It was wonderful and horrible.
You can, for sure, meet people with different values on line. Real different. Some good and some really bad.
i agree with you, i cant speak for others but i know at least for me its easyer online, i think its the whole rejection thing, yeah know?
Big_John: For me, I know myself. Out There, I would get utterly entranced with a woman who smells good and looks good, and we would have absolutely nothing in common. I know I'm a bit different, but normal, and I am looking for someone equally normal. But what about you? Why look in here instead of Out There?

I think this is what all of us are hoping for to find someone on line and to make in work in "real life". I have made some lasting friends from my on-line discussions. I haven't met Miss Right yet![/quot
Well who knows maybe there isn't a Miss Right or Mister Right sometimes it almost feels like part of a fairytale that we have been spoon fed from birth. All our lives looking for this elusive perfect fit for us that we pass off a lot of candidates on the way. Just an idea Who knows. Maybe there is no "Right" when we aren't ready for it. Just and idea or maybe we never find that person.

Be careful with your heart. It can be hurt just a much here as in the real world. I know it has happenned to me. But, hell go for it when you find her.

That's true but dang it go out and live open your heart up and take the pain with the joy. Has to be a time to not be afraid. A lot of threads about fear tonight. Life flys by and then where are we hiding behind our nice safe existences?

She doesn't have to be perfect or Miss Right. She has to just want to wake up in the morning and roll over and look at me and smile because she is happy to be there.

I don't think you'll be on the shelf too long John.

I know I am a very trusting person and believe others are truthful and honest. I try to believe in what every woman tells me. I refuse to worry about the scammers and con people. I know she is out there looking for me. He is looking for you. Keep looking.

That was mostly in jest, but. you can't get burned if you stay away from the fire. I'm not a glutton for pain in the real world.
