I have been (28)
yes, same people use many sites on the net. I think we have to hang in there until these die out and new flow of broken relationships emerge. 
I've given up and also realized it is not that important in the scheme of things

I had a 3 wk squiz at the return to sender ...
I took off really fast... and could not find my way back. I decided I am not riding my nellie, your nellie or anyone else's nellie back there.. in any case, I lost the path..
so I figure...
I'd like to say ,
'I am happy where I am, with who I am, and by myself'.
but the real story is..
I am vulnerable, I have fears, and I have not accustomed myself to rejection yet..
and
I am uncomfortable and undecided at which path I want to take..
so
rather than make a muck up and even perhaps include someone else in my muck up...
I will continue to say...
" I am happy where I am, with who I am and by myself.. "
I think merri is right
long as we are happy with our selves it doesn't matter how long it takes for the "right one"!! to turn up.
On here we get to share thoughts with others, even though of course we often hold different views, it is still form of dating cept we can turn computer off or on in our own time.
Thank goodness happiness is within

Scratching the itch is a lot cheaper for many...
Internet dating sites "The smorgeousboard of lovers" Its a shame most keep checking out whats on the buffet before truly enjoying whats on the plate in front of them.

Maybe we should all make a NY Resolution to get out more and get to more social gatherings to unplug and meet more new people.

that's what the walkabouts are for, maybe not so much as a "hook up" but to socialise, have some fun and... get out of the normal routine for just a few hours

The net is with us and here to stay, it is just one way of meeting/chatting to people and for singles it is just another way to do that?
I find joining a group of like minded people is the way to go. And I really believe that when you least expect it .......
I find it hard due to married or in relationship people .Telling me go out and meet people !!
My response is where ? Where does one go to meet singles in my age group .
Yes I was told last week where you meet singles !!Mind you I'm 100 percent certain I wanna go
And was also told about speed dating in Adelaide .
In the end the person telling me about all these then said but its better online !!!
So why do women only appear when your busy !!!

Don't know weather you have tried "Are You Interested" it's linked with FB. You don't have to pay,(If you don't want), instant messenger. Met some nice people on there.
I think the advent of internet dating promoted an expectation in single people that it's the answer?
Basically, nothing's really changed as far as the difficulty in meeting people once we're past the picket fence/smoke coming out of the chimney/raising babies part of our lives.
Except the (possibly unrealistic) expectation that internet dating sites promote.

Merri, a lot of us are feeling the "vulnerable" bit. We do sit in our own little comfort zones and not sure what the future will bring. We can 'meet' people through these sites and feel very comfortable with them.....Until they want to take us out of 'our comfort zone.'
Like you, I do not want to move away from the family I have near me. I may want to go and do a lot of things in the future and be able to share them with someone but...........................not everyone wants to go to quilting shows or Atomic Bomb Sites.

Since the internet arrival , and social networks , i believe there is more single people ( as in unmarried ) and a higher tendancy to just have that itch scratched.
Im nearing 40 now , this really doesnt bother me , but the fact that its getting more and more difficult to meet people does.
Maybe we should all make a NY Resolution to get out more and get to more social gatherings to unplug and meet more new people.

Exactly my plan for this year
I might have a couple of years on you but decided that being a hermit is not the answer.
jem1964: that's what the walkabouts are for, maybe not so much as a "hook up" but to socialise, have some fun and... get out of the normal routine for just a few hours
And Jem, even going to the "walkabouts" is a start for me in going out to socialise. Enjoyed the first one so much, I went along to another.
Probably the hardest thing is the actual going. Just being able to go out without the "let's get together/never want to see you again" pressure has been great.
Shame more people don't see it as such

yep it also help some of us to brush up on their socialising skills as well, to learn not to be tongue tied.
Also it helps when you do go to meets etc as you already feel at ease because you know someone
and side benefit of it all is, sometimes you can discover some interesting little places through the streets of Melbourne

That is it in a nutshell... CS meets and get together with people who you in part know a little of... from the interaction here online... and getting together as friends to socialise..
. Right on Wash.. there is no pressure... and I think if you make friends.. you might want to catch up again... Dont mean that you wanna have a full on relationship,
just means... OK.. we have some common values.. and company is enjoy... Nothing else..
but I cannot imagine how anyone could think going to a CS meet was a night to swap keys... I mean, you have to get around and make small talk and big talk with everyone.. and all of a sudden its time to go home.. so for me.. CS meets are not the place for a hook up.

Rejection Merri is just one persons opinion .. nothing more .. as KooL as Elvis was there were woman out there who could not stand him, so horses or courses ...
I think you are GorGeouS Merri and I'd date you in a Heart BeaT .. so go on go ahead put this on your nellie ...
and I too am happy with who I am ... where I am and I don't mind at all if I go from now to my grave alone in the years to come ....
Kind of sad though ... from this man's point of view there are quality woman out there like you Merri ... and so many of us men and woman for all that we know still end up alone .......
and Freo I think it was whom said or was it Newlife .. .... you are so right about the plate in front of us yet our eyes are fixated on the smorgasbord ... Bloody HuMaN nature !! .........
