sassy49senior: I had my first date from someone I met on internet in
2006. Moved right in with him, married by the pipe,
Native American ceremony, left August 2008. Now here I
am getting to make new friends and touching base with some
I already knew. Of course I am still optimistic, and at times
get frustrated, but after a good nights sleep, getting up
smelling the cool crisp air and newness of the day, I now
can say. My every waking moment will not be focused on am
I ever going to find him. It isn't like a treasure hunt,
going from house to house to get your list, all thought now
that I think about it that does sound like fun
But I will continue with the other things I enjoy and if
it happens= GREAT. (JMO)


I hope it does Sassy...hug

yubba: There are very few people on this site that are 'live' members, so you will never get good responses, try flicking through the 'members' photos and see that hardly anyone logs in.

This really is a forums only site for the clique of owner/members to communicate................the rest of us are 'persona non grata'!


I've been a LIVE member of this forum for 4 years now. I log in almost every day.

I was here when the site introduced the forums feature.

People have come and gone. Some are more active than others, but believe me, they will be gone at some point too, after finding better things to do with their time.

Internet dating has not worked for me because I can't travel to meet guys that I might connect with. And guys don't ever seem to be interested in coming to see me.

Perhaps it's my age, or the fact that I am the caretaker of my severely handicapped son. Whatever the reasons, I don't hold a grudge about that and I'm certainly not frustrated.

I've learned to use the forums as entertainment and NOT as a place that I might get a date or meet someone who would meet me in person.

This is fun, but it's certainly IMPERSONAL.

When I turn off my computer, this online dating world disappears and so do all the people who are members of this site.

Joanie...I know you have friends here. Maybe internet dating is a fantasy, but most of the people here in the forums are real.

I am sorry it has not worked out for you. But I hope you realize there are people here who do care about you.hug

John He's just being friendly is all. If you would've read one of loverboys threads you would've seen where we were both sharing info regarding our home states of Michigan.

"People have come and gone. Some are more active than others, but believe me, they will be gone at some point too, after finding better things to do with their time. "

Ken, here are some words to think about .
Originally we all come into these sites having illusions of grandjure. We see all these lady's pictures and profiles and we're like a kid in a candy store...........
But in reality , natural selection is more of a face to face personal thing where initially people are attracted to each other with sight, body language, and smell . ( all senses alerted )
We all spend too much time here in the sites because there's a comfort level - when in reality it would be better to be walking the streets applying yourself face to face .
The odds of meeting someone that you're really matched with are in the real world ............. JMO .........

Yes we are all real people although sometimes I feel as it is an alternate universe or reality lol and that if I blink everyone will be gone. Meeting people is just tough these days for anyone and the internet in some ways has made it easier to meet those you would never talk to otherwise and some you wish you hadn't lol.

There are people men and women from this site that I would be honored to meet in person as good friends. As for dating I quit that after a bit I wasn't good at it and wasn't ready for anything longterm, and frankly date is one of those dirty four letter words to me. It puts expectations on things. If I ever have a really wonderful friendship with a man that develops into something great.

As for being impersonal in some ways yes. The trick is to find those in your area that you can meet in person. Hang in there Arabella, what a wonderful name. You just never know.hug teddybear

Not sure I believe that. While meeting face to face has some advantages, how much basis do we put on personality as compared to physical attraction?

IMO, here, we get to "know" the person. We verbally interact with them. It has nothing to do with body language, but with written communication.

It's a different way of attracting someone. And sometimes it can be better.

I think that's you're imagination....... people come here to act out their inadaquacies and act-up in ways they can't get away with in personal life. That's not to say it isn't really funny and fun at times. But you'll never really get to "know" anyone here until you meet them personally .........
