i don't think the fast food restaurant frame of mind works on a dating site. like many folks, i've been here a long time. i have met many interesting people, made some good friendships, and found love. but it didn't all happen immediately. initially i met and dated a couple guys from online. then i gave up, and just started enjoying the forums and the friendships. and then while i was no longer looking, i met someone very special that i love. and lucky for me...he loves me. so you don't know how it's gonna turn out...but i do think it can take some time.

I have been on CS for 8 years now.
I am here for the FORUMS!!!
I love the meeting of the minds. I believe that through FORUM participation, we are able to know much more about people than what little is said on a profile.
There are quite a few here of whom I am in love with their MINDS! They do not even know, lol. I love mens minds and women's minds. And many minds I pray for as so many are bound and need to experience FREEDOM of Thinking for themselves.
I have found my FREEDOM through Spirituality for the Truth has made me Truely FREE! My Spirit continues to guide me into ALL Truth and I post about the things revealed to me. My object is to get people to THINKING. It's BRAIN Exercise!
CS is a good place and of course, like all places, there are some who do not choose to play well with others. Just laugh and with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away. Life is too short for the B.S.
Have fun here and OkieChic and all of the other newbies!
OkieChic: tomcatwarne, have you met anyone? or more than one...has any worked out? sorry for all the questions...just curious :)
Long enough, but sporadically...in my case, iv met one, (correction i met 3 great people from aus, ...and had a great night out, but that was always friend capacity)...and iv chatted to ..plenty, but has not worked out, sometimes u r never sure why
OkieChic: Just wondering, how do you make friends on this site? Seems pretty complicated
i think u just ask, ! but actually, iv made most friends on here from chatting in general, then chatting n person, and then they pop up on facebook...eventually...lol
OkieChic: Just wondering how long most have been on CS...please leave comments as well :)
I've been on here for about 4 months actually, in that time I have met and become friends with about 4 or 5 really lovely ladies. countries that their from = New Zealand, Vietnam, Indonesia, China.
I have been interested in a couple of these ladies for a relationship, and have settled on one in particular. It took me about 3 months of "hitting" and "sifting". I started out with a fairly unrealistic view of my "ideal mate" and then after some reality checks, expanded and removed some of my "essential" criterias. It was when I did this, that I found these quality women that I am proud to call my friends (and my girlfriend).
Irishidaho: I've been on here since the late 1970s. The Bee Gees were popular.
I didn't know the internet even existed in the late 1970s! Did you have a whole room dedicated to a punch-card computer? And how many people were on this dating site back then? One?......

About 6-7 years all told, I think. I have seen so many come, stay a while, stay a long time, and eventually go. I have been saddened by the departure of a fair few that I had come to know but hoping that it means they have found someone and/or made a new life for themselves. There have been sadder tales best left untold but there are still one or two left that I know.
Fortunately, for me, I am one of those who did find my partner on CS and we have been together for near on 4 years now.
I still remember many of those gone with fond memories even if one thinks its easy to have people come and go without much impact and I am still grateful to those who offered me support and kindness at times I needed it. I don't have a short memory for those who are so kind..... nor those who are not.
As well as my partner, I first met my best friend and 'Big Sis' here..... whom I love and will never forget.

I've been on here for around 10 days - I have only spotted one chap & exchanged messages that I have been attracted to but he was too young for me. I have made a friend & we have met - so it has been worth it for me. It's a shame the other chap was just toooooo young - he didn't mind ut I did lol
Have been here for about a month. No luck yet but have met some nice and interesting people. Still exploring the site and have my fingers crossed for meeting that special girl.
