I am here for the forums only so not looking to utilise the sight to find someone..
Still as Claayer said it is just a means of casting the net a bit further and getting to know someone a little before u decide to meet... all the usual pitfalls apply however.. we are not going to like everyone we meet and vice versa... Internet is not going to change that... if anything it can magnify it cause alot of people on sites are looking for something real and long lasting so they are going to be more discerning and are not going to be into wasthing their time..
Lots of lovely couples and marriages have emerged from this site.. so ya never know...
this is what heretofore prevented me from affiliating myself to any religion or church... there is only one entity entitled to judge others in my book..
Jesus himself walked with sinners and thieves... and said 'he who is without sin cast the first stone'...
... oh hee hee !!!... I have to say I kinda believe them to a degree.. although you have to reserve some judgment ...cause ur only getting one side...
I have got in trouble in the past for showing sympathy towards people... the implication being that I am taking side.. not the case... doesn't put me off showing sympathy though.. I can empathise with what it may be like to feel let down..
none of the above apply in my opinion... normally both contribute in some way.. although there are degrees of fault... in some cases (e.g. Abusive Partners) the MAJORITY of fault lies with the abusive partner...
Ego is frequently a contributor or insecurtiy...in my case if I come to a point in a relationship where I think it is not likely to work for whatever reason, I would tend to end it amicably rather than waste my time.. or theirs.... I am still friends with most of my Ex's so this level of honesty has not yet posed a problem...
Absolutely... silence is the worse form of cruelty... I can't understand how these people are capable of being sooo cruel to persons they at one time professed to love...truly baffles me...
The only conclusion I can draw is that they did not in fact love the persons at all in the first place... that said still no excuse to be cold hearted and cowardly...
I went to Stringfellows once with a friend of mine for the laugh and got chatting to a few of the girls.. they were all really lovely and most of them were either studying or wanting to become actresses models etc... talking to them made me understand what it is they do and why (even though would never consider it myself) it was very safe, they got paid loads of money and it was of potential benefit to their career etc.... I didn't really see any problem with that...
I have only ever blocked one person..... here were the reasons why
1. Over the top compliments - seems insincere 2. Coming on too strong - seems insincere 3. Bombardment with emails 4. Bombardment with IM
I am afraid it is all too apparent when a person is behaving desperate... like they don't actually have any interest in you as a person.. just desperate to get with a girl.. any girl... full stop... also everybody needs a little space.. a balance needs to be achieved..
Just being urself, genuinely getting to know the person (as a friend first) is the best way to deal with it..
After all it is the internet.. at the back of our minds would be the possibility that the person on the other end MAY be a nut!!!.... keep cool.. keep it together..
Hiya Skeptikos.... don't let the fact that some girls blocked you bother you...at the end of the day it is a reality that all with not like us... I myself have been rejected... stood up etc...etc.. it sucks but its life... there will be someone there for you.. but you have to learn to be open to receiving them....
also a little hint.. when communicating with girls (on CS) keep it light and friendly.. .focus first on getting to know them as a friend .. if something then develops.. great.. if not u have acquired a friend and had some fun...
we also need to speak our mind and share our thoughts.. we might not be right... and peeps might think we're mad.. but hey they probably think that of me anyway
Thats a genuinely difficult one.. cause I for one don't want to assume that someone is 'into me'.. this makes it so much more difficult cause you are quite happy to chat away with a nice person.. and you don't want to (just in case) lead someone up the garden path..
I struggle with this alot and I don't have the answers.. can you enlighten me?..
One thing I will say though.. is I hide nothing.. if I genuinely like someone (even in a friend sense) it will be obvious..
