Distance, distance and distance.

Scammers are annoying, but they are not really a problem because they are very easy to spot from miles away.

demonfairy: ????Dare i ask what you said?


she stood in the middle of her garden
just like the prettiest flower
just like a part of my imagination full of poetry
she listened to my songs ,the last I sang
now I had to tell her goodbye altho she was my life

my point is, we create certain image about a person, or what that person should be .... and it`s not easy to fulfill the exportations

Online dating has its moments for some but most folks are addicted to the search online,hoping to find a person that fits the criteria of what we think we want in a partner, truth is that when we develope feelings for someone they are usually the total opposite of what we thought we were looking for,hence the saying...he or she is not what i normally go for..wave

I'm here for the forums to pass a bit of time and haven't used online dating before.

I do have a few friends both male and female who do though and they've had some really bad times with it.

So far the most concerning and most common thing seems to be that the people they meet have pretty much all been nightly heavy drinkers which leads to allsorts of communication problems for a start.
When talking online this isn't necessarily apparent and can be difficult to identify in a person.

I've heard a lot of other stories as well and admittedly it does deter me from going down the online dating route. I think I would stick to real life as and when I'm ready to date again.

this prooves i am kinda naive thinking that a man will be interested in me and not in where i live...

it doesn't make me feel great being considered a "geografically" convenient option...

haven't anyone spoken about an unconditional love on a dating site? laugh
how many miles is "unconditional" long?

guess i'd better come back into my rabbit hole...

StillOfTheNight: Dating is just hard period


Amen, thank you.

I was debating between scammers and lies, distance for me is not an issue, I can relocate or meet someone in another country. In the 80s and 90s I dated locals only, that didn't get me anywhere.

1. Just because I said something that doesn't mean it proof of anything. laugh

2. I don't have a problem with distance, but it's the issue that I encounter most often from the other side.

demonfairy: 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... What do you think?


I feel that the more I meet potential partners the more I'm getting pickier and pickier. It's not that I'm not dating, because I am. It's just that after spending a little while with them, I start yearning for my freedom again.
Last April I met this woman while going out with my sisters and friends, we dated for a couple of months and I found her too clingy, moving too fast (she started treating me like a husband instead of a boyfriend) and just suffocating. she's still crazy about me, even after I told her that things wouldn't work between us and knowing I was dating others...
Maybe I'm meant to remain single until my old age. Maybe I have trust issues and maybe I've learn hard lessons only too well...
I'm afraid it would take someone pretty extraordinary to shake me into the 'love' mode again, I don't know...
