.....(Cat Foot - 'You are a wonderful writer & great that you're from SA !!!' - So I'm proudly South African!!!
Very true in your writings about 'Will The Right One Ever Show Up?'
CS is a great place to meet, chat, share - as for meeting The One!???? - Here's my take on this!!!
The chances of it happening here are as good as 'anywhere' - Cos it's that One Chance Meeting - That May Change Everything / & If successful 'Changes Everything'!!!
I will add too - that besides those actively searching and some passively waiting - I would think cos 'Finding The One' Doesn't Just Happen / Doesn't Happen If At All & Doesn't Happen Easily,,,, CS becomes a comfortable Space/Place to meet, share, be, search, wait - & also mainly a 'good time consuming Habit'!!!
Most of US, Many of US and possibly the Majority accept this Status Quo of actually becoming 'comfortably numb' to the prospect of REALLY FINDING/CONNECTING & MEETING THAT ELUSIVE VERY SPECIAL PERSON!!!
Every One remains on here for days that turn into weeks,,,then into months & possibly longer,,,these turn into years!!! - And All they do - is still continue to be on here/CS and yet NEVER meet any one of great or any consequence /// & the cycle of being On CS /Online just continues....
This becomes 'acceptable' cos everyone is doing this / caught up in this process of finding The One - which is actually a 'Process of Going Nowhere Slowly!!!'
Should this habit of being online and on CS miraculously change and Some One does find The One!! It will be such a shock; so unbelievable - that possibly the Some One will not believe that The One IS THE ONE!!? They will have doubt and question everything cos the chances of this really happen are a million to one!!!
Sadly they will not handle this well & will lose The One!!! & Then the search continues and they resume with this struggle as before - something that they know too well and are so familiar with!!! (& have become comfortable with,,,).
Of Course I get it that CS is a means to an end and if one does find The One - this is only the beginning of making a success of blending two lives together to compliment one another,,,
I end off with your wise words - ...("So, will the right one ever come? Yes but you may only get one chance. Don't squander it.")...
& With this, Best of Luck to ALL the great friends on CS!!!
Life is all about Learning, Growing & Improving,,,!!!
Just to say a Big Thanks to ALL of you great CS Friends who responded to this,,,,!!! (& Even Huckleberry!!!
Although there was some great feedback, advise, ideas,,,
It turns out that,,,I'll just have to 'Go It Alone' with this!!!
This is possibly not the correct 'Thread',,,to get this going // to find a 'Diet Buddy' Or maybe Some Great Guy who could become 'a Buddy' and for VIP Accountability! (Not on a never never basis but to reach goal within a specified 'timeline'!!!).
So for ME - Tomorrow is almost here! & I will begin with all this!!!
I will do 'A New Thread/Forum' ASAP - To just mention that 'I REACHED MY GOAL (WEIGHT!!!) - & with a new pic or two of me in 'my Bikini' once again!!!
Thanks for all that!!! I don't plan to do my 'detailed diet' - just in general - Initial Weight / Goal and then daily or every day as I can - I will post how it's going - how much lost etc etc...
But maybe if you want to...share whatever you need to on here !!
Hi Merriweather - Thanks for your input and you mentioned you're a bit on the small side! (Care to share details - height/weight ?) You will see my details tomorrow...not that anyone is waiting with baited breath !!!
If you happen to read this!!!- I'm looking to Connect with a Diet Buddy - where we communicate on 'This Thread' daily or every other day or whenever possible - To (Each) Start a diet/exercise routine and openly on CS - share the ups and downs - Be Accountable, Motivate,,,but no matter what 'KEEP GOING' UNTIL GOAL IS REACHED!!! - Possibly another CS Lady Friend or Friends - To do this 'together'!!!
& If you're a Guy with a few extra Pounds - you're welcome to join!!! / OR Maybe a 'Hot' Guy who is a Personal Trainer / & Knows All about Diet & Fitness / OR Just some great Guy who really cares that I get this done!!!
Even with the different Time Zones (Different Countries) - 'We' can still chat / share and be accountable on here,,, I will be writing on this thread again...Tomorrow Sat 17 Jan 2015 - & I will be Starting this then - & THIS IS DAY 1 - FOR ME,,,(RE 1ST WEIGH IN etc. & Re Goal !!!).
So whether you have 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more Kgs // 20 or even 100 pounds to Lose !!! - For each of us no matter the amount - The Reality and the Necessity & The Journey will be the same!!! (Cos it's My & Your Journey...).
'To make a Long Story Short'...- "I have allowed myself to spiral into a self destruction mode - & gained some extra Kgs!!! I have always been petite and worn bikinis!!! & Need to get back where I was!!!"...
(Age has got nothing to do with this - We Are What We Eat !!! & Whatever We Allow - Is What Will Continue !!!).
SO HOPE TO CONNECT WITH SOME ONE GREAT / OR A FEW GREAT CS FRIENDS ON HERE FOR THIS!!!
,,,"There are many Scammers on CS!!! Some one using someone else's great profile and pics!!!".
Few Scammers do it for an 'Attempt to get money',,, - & Mainly to lead some one up the garden path of attraction, desire and 'love'.
They continue to send these type(s) of messages - & if the 'lady' or the 'man' happen to fall for this,,,'They' eventually & sadly 'discover',,, That it's ALL just a fake person behind it all!!!
So,,, To ALL the real CS Friends on here!!! - Both Male & Female - Wishing you every Success,,,(Even in just finding a 'great friend',,,).
Most of the Guys who contact me - the Great Guys with great profiles and Pics,,,send me a real nice and urgent message where they want to connect, know more,,,& just as quickly - no 2nd or 3rd message & they disappear! So it would appear that most of these great so called Contacts are Scammers! ??
The contacts that are not that great,,,well unfortunately not who I maybe interested in continuing to chat and get to know !!! - All those I just don't reply to.
I now understand why so many remain on CS for the Blogs, Forums, Polls, Music etc. etc. - Fortunately so - otherwise how long would CS still be available!!!
Of course it's a free 'Dating Site' - & great that it also has so much more on here - Because there's no subscription - why can't one really connect with a 'Real Person / Real Profile' as a friend and then maybe more!!!??
Why must one go onto a 'Paying Online Dating Site' - to maybe find that special connection?? These Sites also can't guarantee that there will be that some one special ???
You can't give this option!? - As ALL of them are Great! Great Music cannot be compared; & it should just be Enjoyed! Great Music Lives Forever!!! So let's Rock on!!!
There should be an Option - 'Depends!' (There are many arranged marriages in 'other' Cultures,,,that apparently do work! i.e. 'Indian culture to name just one!'.
Thanks for your great comment and 'humour and insight'!!!!! - So Needed!!!
That's great News!!! Santa to the rescue! Great that 'Us' Ladies on CS get the Stocking where the frog jumped out!!!,,,& left behind 'A Prince for Each of Us!!!
Dedovix,,,In whose Stocking are You?? (In One ? Or maybe Many ?).
My Reply To....."" Catfoot's; 'Will The Right One Ever Show Up? "",!!!!!
Hi myluck2 - ,,,Yip 'you're probably right! (Then again Scammers can be from Anywhere too,,, - Where Online Anyone can Be Anything!!!).
