I don't know if what I'm saying is in agreement with the OP - but I do not believe that I could ever "fall in love" with someone I have only had electronic contact with. I must see and be with the person in an ongoing physical presence relationship. One that lasts a period of time, so I can see them and how they react in all situations - not just in those that come up in a conversation. I think, just my opinion here, that people will tell you what they want you to hear - we've all learned from experience or life what the things to say to impress. Being with someone in the present - not the promise of a future meeting - is the best route for me. I'm not available for LDRs either - I just don't think that I can make a certain decision based on a few visits and phone calls. I am not willing to relocate and abandon my life as I know for the unknown and uncertainty of an "online romance". Some may differ - that is their right - just as is my right to my opinion.
Well, if I met someone and settled down with them - I would think I'd have no more use for this site. The people I have met and become friends with would hopefully exchange private emails and I'd keep up with them throught that channel. I'm hoping that my new love and I would have lots of things to do together - time spent on the puter, on a dating site, definitely wouldn't be one. JMO
Thanks ya'll for posting --- usually when I start one...it dies!
I think that it's possible for a 5-10 year difference to work - but I wouldn't be interested in a relationship that is just dating - I would be curious to find out if it could grow to something long term. If it's based on looks - we all know how those fade - wondering if the 10 yr younger man would be ready to bolt when he's 50 and she's 60...just something I've been pondering.
I'm not sure I would re-locate right here in my own country, let alone to another. From what I can tell, it's a difficult process - and there's too much uncertainty for me.
How do you feel about older woman dating younger men. I'm not talking a 40 yr old woman with an 18 yr old man -- what is your acceptable age range? Would you men consider dating a woman 10 years older? It seems more acceptable for men to date younger women - I was just wondering...your thoughts?
I'm wondering the same thing! Seems to me you would find what you're looking for in your local red light district instead of on here. JMO based on that last post. You really don't like women apparently.
This happens to us all my dear. When it becomes obvious from the onset of the email that the person initiating the contact hasn't even read my profile -- I block them and delete. You can't control the actions of others - you can control how their actions affect you - don't take it personal.
It is included in American public education courses such as intro to computers, business law, accounting, etc...and also part of the orientation that students received when utilizing the technology available in the media centers.
I wouldnt mind helping --- but the truth is - there aren't many people from Texas who are active on this site. They had a get together last summer in Tennessee -- if they have it again this year - I'll be planning to attend it. Thanks anyway.
RE: helping the women
The more that people feed into such nonsense - the more it grows.
