After reading some of the posts in this thread I'm thinking I'm better off staying single
I agree with the idea that at a certain stage in life, which I'm probably at, it might be nice to keep one's own space and have a partner who lives nearby so you can each choose when you want company and for how long at a time. If you end up mostly staying together in one place then you can always admit you want to live together full time and let the other place so it's still available just in case you change your mind later
When you read someone's profile and you think they're probably a bit far away to start anything in person but what they wrote makes you laugh out loud and you really want to message them to tell them you agreed with what they wrote - but you get that message saying you can't contact this person because you're two years outside their preferred age range!
How frustrating!
I'll continue browsing but with a bit of a downer about that one :(
I haven't found a post preview on here so maybe they see the title and have a look but find the subject boring and so don't bother?
I still haven't figured out how one is notified if someone replied to a thread after you posted on it so don't be surprised if you reply to my comment and I don't respond again
I think there are lots of scammers, yes, but also lots of genuine people - but then after reading this thread I'm questioning my judgement
I was on this site when I first became single a few years ago and I did meet a couple of real people and am still friends with them. I saw one romantically for two years and then we decided we were just wasting each other's time because we couldn't really see us progressing beyond where we had got to. We're still friends but have admitted to that and have let each other be free to see other people.
I once had someone travel very long distance to meet me and he got the hump because I disagreed with some advice he gave me (having never lived where I live and having no idea about how things work here and I did try to be gentle when disagreeing with him!) and he left within 24hrs to travel home again! He's messaged me a few times since then and I just wonder why, if I upset him so much when we met. Maybe nobody has agreed to meet him since?
Anyway, it's nice to chat to people wherever they are and nice to meet new people, even if it doesn't turn into a long term friendship or relationship.
Jeff, have you tried French singles groups on Facebook in your area? Or onvasortir? There is a singles group for English speakers in France on Facebook called SIFT which isn't a dating site (though it's not forbidden!) which may help you find other singles in your area.
