ok i am not still shopping around! not at all! and i know i don't have the authority to speak for anyone else, but i know pete isn't either. there is nothing dishonest about someone in a couple staying on cs as long as they are honest and open with each other and those they correspond with!
....no...but seriously. the reason i stay on cs is because i really enjoy the forums, and i love the friends i have met here. cs is more than just a dating site to me.
ok.... pete and karen fighting over who is the master - something i gotta see! i don't know who would come out on top..... i'll be hiding, could get scary!!!
i've got to say one person on cs has shown herself to be a true friend the past while: karen. she's so sweet and caring, a good mum and funny as hell! i'll tell ya, any guy who ends up with her is very lucky. and i bet there are those who are just kicking themselves right now for letting her slip through their fingers!
I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love Ooh! Guitar!
yep...and i have a brain like a seive! hence...bad liar!
is ginko good for memory? i take that stuff... i should really read the bottles of my health food crap more carefully, i don't know what i think i was taking it for!
i think pictures on forums are quite important. it helps personalise the people you are talking to. that said, it doesn't matter what the person looks like, as long as its a person! i am not looks orientated.
i started this thread weeks and weeks ago just before i met up with pete (petethepainter) in real life. we were both really nervous and worried that we would not meet each others expectations or that we wouldn't click in real life the way we did on the internet. thats why i started this thread, hopefully to get some success stories to make us feel less nervous and apprehensive!
well we did meet in real life 3 weeks after first chatting on msn, then a week later we met again, a few days later again, a couple of days later, a week later, etc etc. and its going sooo soooo well. we've had our obstacles to overcome - mainly the distance - and no doubt we will have more obstacles to overcome in the future....'tis the nature of life - you take the rough with the smooth and you just have to have faith in your self, your strength of character and more importantly, your relationship.
i consider pete and i to be one of the cs success stories. what's our secret or advice for other couples? well i can't speak for pete, but i advise honesty and constant communication. this is especially important if you meet over the internet, as long distance relationships are difficult enough without mind games and allowing insecurities to creep in.
anyway, just thought i'd add this to the thread. it made me smile to read back over my original post, i remembered how scared, nervous, hopeful and quietly optimistic i was while writing it.
whatever! everyone is entitled to their preferences! as long as you are honest and upfront about it from the start! if you knew you wouldn't be interested in a woman with kids and strung her along anyway, that would be awful!
i don't think its stupid at all....but you can understand why some women would get defensive about this if they have kids.
hennery don't let the bullies win! this ain't a bloody school playground! agree that it takes a man to walk away, but i hope you do come back.....there are plenty of threads to kill! and also, you seem to put alot of thought into your posts and you think outside the box and see things from a different perspective, which is always refreshing!
RE: should people leave cs after finding someone???
