Some people seem to find love on line,others are not so lucky.Lets be honest it is not as easy as it sounds to find a partner.Is it because we ask questions on line that would take us months to ask in real life, because we learn more about the person behind the face...dunno confused What do you think?wave

I chose distance since the other factors are not completely unique to online dating. You meet great people on the other side of the globe, you don't get that very often cept for on vacations or at the air port, and who picks up someone at the airport?

In my experience........its always been the distance. People I connect with so well are usually in a different country, leaving no room to see them on a day to day basis. This makes it hard. To be truly with someone you need to see them in all of their "moods". Sick, cranky, happy, drunk, mellow........etc.

Hiya DF wave

Yeah, I had heaps of fun when I first signed up on a couple of sites, around a year ago. Several dates came out of that, but since I joined here I've found I've kinda lost interest, focussing mainly on the forums conversing

Thats partly because the Aus contingent is fairly small and I've had no contact, with a view to dating, with anyone within a reasonable distance from where I live. Those that are in contact live in another state or another country laugh And I guess that's fairly common on a site like this wine

So I voted distance as No.1 for me wine

I may have found someone, possibly a friend at the very least, very indepth and is very beautiful.

She lives 4 hours and 13 minutes away... Go figure with everyone being a couple hundred miles from my local area zone....Hmm.... it's like some towns are doomed to the internet.....

I live in gainesvill,e there aren't many users on this site that live there, and those that do I'm either not interested or their profiles suggest their not interested.

and thus I find myself at a void of loss.

thumbs up thats it. There are very few single mums with the finances to go tripping all ova the globe to see if the chemistry is there... laugh

As Serene said too, the Aussie contingent on here is very limited. I think its about 10 guys in my date range in the whole of my City.. banana Oh joy.. NOT mumbling

And so true, apart from the people we chat to very often on the chat forums, its very difficult to trust someone unless u have had contact with them for a while, and also then there's no guarantee.
help . But then I guess it also depends on what you looking for. I enjoy the chat forums, and have made some incredible friends online, which is exactly what I need on those days, when I'm feeling myself sorry. But hang in there girls, as my mom often says, "Every pot has a lid"
