venere08: You saying what you did about online only being for fun(for you) does strike a chilling chord for me, in terms of what is possibly the case with my 'online crush'. Perhaps he never for a moment intended any seriousness, and that I have been just a distraction
Dar be it for me to make any judgement about what you want from online life. All that I will say for me is that I conduct myself honestly online.I have had my stages online and I am bored with it all to be honest. But I do understand those who feel isolated. I just thank my lucky stars that I am not dependent on online.

I don't think you would understand. (I know RDM does, though). One cannot help where you find love. People meet online, then materialise in real life. It's not always about romance, either. I have a pal in Texas, who I met online on a 'community building site, and in '96 stayed at his home for 10 days and was treated with total respect at all times. We are still in touch, he is like a big brother/cousin. I have even met a professional person, a psychiatrist/pain specialist, online on his clinic's website. he subsequently invited me to his clinic for 2 weeks in '99, and I stayed with him and his wife on his estate. He also paid for my return airfare.
So you see, I am an online junkie from way back. A singles site is relatively new to me, and am not dependent on online life at all for dating. In fact, I have often hidden/deleted my profile from here. It is just one part of my life. No, I pesonally don't suffer from isolation. We just happen to be along way away from places like Europe. But I have bought myself a little place in Italy, as it is my country of birth, so it will soon be my other home.
Everything can become boring, if you let it. I have yet to suffer boredom in any aspect of my life. Way too much going on, and hop on here to chill out.
venere08: Short, maybe, but never curt!.. Not with you, monte. You sem to have misinterpreted what I wrote, but as you say, no biggie.
You're right, it was short, not curt. Your never like that with me and I was surprised. Maybe you're tired of so many lengthy replies with all the deep mind boggling threads. Okay, I'm all better.... I brought you
JAN_is: Perhaps I misinterpreted his post, but I don´t think he was saying that all. I think he was saying that there are women in his area just as nice as some of the CS women so why get caught up in an online relationship which will more than likely end up in a total waste of time and effort.
Sorry, I missed this post...
Of-course that could very well be the case. It happens all the time. No-one can be that special, that they can never be replaced. Well, I shouldn't say that, because for some people it might be true...generally, though, there are many wonderful people out there.
This is not a thread about LDR's, but I do know you were involved in one a couple of years back. No doubt that experience may be influencing how you feel about such relationships.
Just a little reminder...this thread is about our CS crush...menat to be a bit frivolous!

Oh, heck, deep and mind boggling..Never on a Sunday morning!!
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday night, monte.
(I'm just hanging here waiting on a call to confirm a removalist truck...about to shift lots of furniture from A to B!)
