Meeting for a drink in a nice cozy spot, yes, clubbing no.. But the best is going for a nice long walk preferably with some great scenary. At least the scenary will capture you if the conversation doesn't.
Well if Toronto is not your choice and I don't blame you, living on the outskirts and close by it sounds like a plan. As Dawn mentioned there is Mississauga which is also a large city, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton..Hamilton has the McMaster Hospital which is a great hospital and there are many specialists, not sure about with Autism or not. Burlington is a great place to bring up kids, but is starting to grow quite a bit, but it is nice and quiet depending on the area.
Hey newbies..you online dating will work for you, like the others already said you need to have patience. Don't let one rejection turn you off..Keep posting to the forums and meet people. I personally have met someone special from this site and time will tell what happens with us, but it didn't happen overnight. Hang in there!!
Hey Fallenangel, don't be depressed. I joined this site in May and had a couple of emails and then nothing.. The men I message have never responded. I come here for the forums and have met a lot of really nice down to earth people here. I am currently seeing someone from this site and it is going very well. He sent me a message on here and I asked him why he decided to email me. He told me he visits the forums and saw me chatting with people and thought I sounded down to earth. Keep posting to the forums, it seems like you get noticed more if you join in. People get a good sense of who you are and how well you hold up to conversation. I never thought I would find someone on an online dating site. Think positive and don't let it get you down.
I agree with Loveshine, indicate that be friends is not out of the question, if that is how you really feel. I wouldn't say that if the guy or girl was a complete jerk or wasn't serious about why they are on an online dating site.
Nervous to find out if the person and picture you have been seeing and talking to is really the person they claim to be. Nervous about conversation, will we have something to talk about. Nervous of what if I am attracted and the feeling isn't mutual. The list goes on and on.
Well, it's pouring rain in Ontario today, and I was set to close out the swimming pool. Since the weatherman says 90% rain all day..I will have put that off. Because I have lists of things that need to get done and so many, I feel overwhelmed and am not motivated in the least bit. I need to whip myself into a mood to at least start something today before it's back to work tomorrow.
Oh my you poor thing, but didn't you ask to see a pic before your met her..Even though she had no pic on the site, she could have emailed you one. I won't meet anyone that I have not seen a picture for yet and I won't..and luckily the people I met with were the one in the pics.
No, Darcy is a whiner..I really liked Tye Domi, he added that little spunk to the game...It's hilarious watching the game live. My fav is Tomas Kaberle, he played really well last season. I can't wait until hockey hits my tv screen.
I like threads that request opinions, if you know what I mean..someone has a dilemna and wants advice or expertise on the issue..someone elses 2 cents. The problem with those threads, is more than not, they get a little heated and people get turned off by that.
scold:
I like hearing about peoples experiences with dating, work, kids. I will post to any thread that interests me or that I can relate to.
Maybe fall will keep more people indoors and in the threads. Time will tell. Murray, you're a Sens Fan, or was that just for Dawn...ewwwww I hate the Sens, GO LEAFS GO
P.S. I know they suck, but what the heck,,,I dispise Alfredson.
I think that added that because most online dating sites have them. And based on what I have seen some women rate most men a 10, no matter what they look like, just to get a hello. I don't have a photo so rating a figurine isn't much fun now is it, but if I did have one up, I would not want it rated.
My opinion, you can almost judge within minutes of the first contact how long the date will last...I have been on 2 from this site in the last 2 months, the 1st one was a coffee meeting and lasted about 1 1/2 hours. Conversation was good, he was extemely funny. Will I go out with him again, perhaps..has he asked, yes. The second date was yesterday and we spent pretty much the whole day together. We planned to go to the casino, but, thought we would not be able to chat so we opted for bowling instead. We both suck at bowling but it was a hoot. After bowling was done, we sat and chatted, and he asked if I wanted to go have dinner. If at that point I was not having a good time or not interested, I would have said I need to get home soon. But, we went to dinner and at the end of the date he gave me a teddy bear, awww. how sweet. Will I go out with him again, yes, has he asked, yes. So to answer your question, it all depends, but I still think you can tell within the 1st 10 minutes if it will be a flop or not.
I agree with the both of you. I used to get excited every morning to see what people have posted, but seems like noone is posting anymore, or it's just word add-ons. And I'm afraid if I don't go check I'll miss out on something that could be interesting. But I can see Taz, you have posted a few today and perhaps that will get momentum going again. Honestly, talking through people in the forums is the best way to get to know people and get noticed...I like to read rather than express, but I'll try to join in more regularly.
A million dollars, the possibilities are endless. I probably would not quit my job but then again who knows. I would pay off my mortgage and do some much needed fixing up on the house. I would probably take a trip to Australia because I've been dreaming of going there since I was a kid. I would share some with my family. Other than that life would go on as normal as it could.
In other words it would not change me, having money is nice but it does not buy happiness. Gotta go check out my lottery tickets from last night, hehe
There are very few guys in my neighbourhood, but I have already met one who lives like 3 minutes from me, we still talk and he still wants to go out again. I am also meeting another one this weekend, perhaps maybe we will have a connections. We have talked for a bit now and we decided it was time to meet. He is younger than I by a few years and that is the only thing that makes me nervous, but I guess you have to take a chance sometimes. Age is only a number. Only time will tell what this weekend brings....
Murray, glad to hear you had a chance to talk to your son. You must be stoked. I live with my daughter and have a hard time talking to her and we live under the same roof. But this isn't my thread so I'll let you enjoy the moment and possibly more moments to come with your kids.
And Murray if you ever make you way down to Hamilton, you had better let me know..I'm right across the Skyway Bridge and there is no excuse for you not calling and saying hi, or going for a Timmies.
Wishing you all the best!! I;m cheering for you...
I'm sure you've heard this before but, you gotta look out for #1. It's your career, you decide where it leads you. You may never get the chance again, and based on what you have been saying you would eventually burn out with all the overtime.
I know it will be hard to tell the boss, but, you have to do what you have to do.
