I joined the site in January this year. After spending another Christmas and New Year single I decided it would be my last one without someone. So I thought I would be proactive. I thought that by joining a dating site I would be cutting out the guessing, I mean surely anyone on a dating site would be there because they wanted to meet someone to build a relationship with? Why else would you join?

I didnt envisage that I would make the friends that I have and I will be forever grateful for that.
I have had a brilliant time, travelling to Glasgow and Sorrento for meets. And making some great friends at local meets.

I do however ask the question, why not say on your profile that you are here to improve your social circle? we can all relate to that, so just be honest, if you are not ready for a relationship just say so.

So, do you think that this upcoming new year will spur others on here to open up a bit more and explore building a relationship more actively as well?

Why would this year be any different to any other New Year? I think that some of us who joined in the hope of building a relationship have perhaps excepted that this is a social site not a dating site.

Ah Yvonne, don't leave us.
Your posts are always humourous and interesting and it was lovely to meet you last Saturday night.
I believe most of us if we are true to ourselves set out with the same goal in mind and then the posts widened as we went along

So what has been said is the everyone came for dates and stayed for socialising.

Does this mean that the members changed the site from a dating site to a networking site dunno

Why not join a networking site instead or as well as CS, and increase your social circle even more, but without or with less emphasis on dating and relationships.

Network site relationships are on interests and lifestyles not on looking for a partner.


Sue met my brother and his wife on a networking site, I came later grin when she came to visit them.

ladylumps: Ok why did you really join a singles dating site?

Was it to find that someone special and ride off into the sunset together ?
Was it to make some new friends and extend yor social circle ?
Was it to increase the numbers in your little black book ( ie your leg over buddies )
Or were you bored in work / at home and just joined for a bit of company and distraction??

And have you found what you wanted has the site and by that I mean the people fulfilled your reason for joining?



I joined this site to find that special person, I would love to meet her soon. Maybe Santa will be good to me this year !

Tena koe/ Greetings

I stepped away from CS a while back, having reached the same conclusion (that CS was essentially a networking site), and because that was no longer my need. But I am compelled to step back just one more time to respond to this posting.

Yes, as I see it, CS is essentially a networking site. A great networking site though, full of nice, interesting, people. A lot of it shallow maybe in terms of getting to know people. But then nothing can ever replace making love to a woman as a way of getting to know her (and me).

That said, it can be a dating site. I dated one woman who I met through CS. But she is an incredible woman, a beautifull woman with a huge heart. And we are still friends, for which I am also very gratefull.

My regards to Sue, a classy woman too. Her famous posting about the ten things that men should know about women was the best, the most real, the funniest, posting on CS ever !.

With all of that said, its time to saddle up and start chatting up strange women at bus stops (no, its ok, am not that desperate. Or that wierd !)

hasagoodheart: Hi Wexlady

I think you misunderstand me, so I shall elaborate.

Long before making love to a woman I would want to know how she thinks, what she likes, whether she is a good kind person, how honest and reliable she really is, how much respect she has for herselve and others, what she likes to talk about, her opinions on the world around them, what her temper is like, if she is a sulker or a fighter, how she will interact with my friends/family. That is getting to know her, in good times and in bad.

But when the two people make love, they are at their most real, their most vulnerable, their most un compensated. The images, the facades, the masks falls away. They are who they really are.

That is what I meant by saying that making love to a woman, and being made love to by a woman, is getting to know who she really is and who I really am. In all of our imperfections, our wounds, our limitations, our "human" ess.

Hope that explains what I meant.

Peter


Not really. Sounds like your backtracking to get out of trouble.

wexlady41: Well said.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants a relationship to be based on more than just the real person I pretend to be in bed.


well i agree with you ,i'd like to have a real relation ship ,an honest one not one built on lies.

I will thanks Peter. I will continue to base my opinions on the whole person.. not just the bit between the legs.
