Interesting question! Photo attracts my attention first. Then read profile to see if there is substance/ mutual interests. Also found, don't email. Send a flower and see if you get a response. Talking to some wonderful people that way without ever seeing them on the forums. Percentage wise of the people on this site, very few post on the forums.
You're trying to hard dude! Relax and enjoy the company. Post on the forums and flower some ladies that you might be interested in. Give them a chance to reply and get to know you some!
But the way I see it, thats what dating is all about. You only learn so much about a person online and emailing. Face to face it can be a completely different story. With a first date/meeting especially, you really haven't committed yourself to anything, so whats the harm? If you started to have real feelings about one of the people, then I can see letting the others know you wouldn't be going out with them. But until then?
Sorry Jacko, beg to differ. I know a gal here who tried internet dating and got exactly that response. Takes all kinds. Personally, if I went on a date, I would expect to pay for all of it. Old school. Might add, and expect nothing in return. If I didn't want to go I would have said no.
Okay, I can see that. But aren't you intentionally limiting yourself then? What if one of the other two was the one you were meant to be with and you never gave yourself the chance?
Hi there! Question for you. Take a hypothetical. You've met alot of people on the forums here and have emailed back and forth with various guys. What would you do, then, if say three of them all asked to meet within a span of say 3 weeks. Would you limit yourself to just one of these men? How would you decide since you have never met any of them?
Interesting opinion. But why does that bother you? Since eventually people will get to know the real you, whats the difference in when? I respond to some and not to others depending on what the thread is about, but I don't worry about showing to much of who/what I am. I am who I am and kind of like it that way.
Check out some of the other threads. Only thing I can figure is, we won't know until November! People are definitely polarized for this election! (Personally, I'm going with McCain)
Never really thought about it much until I got on this site. A lot of people talk about it here. Past experiences make me who/what I am and naturally affect decisions I make in the here and now. I enjoy life to much to let bad experiences color my life so I just go on. But I guess each to his own. My experiences could be someone else's baggage or vice versa.
For me, languages don't come easy. But since I really enjoy traveling, I always try to learn phrases in the language of the country I'm going to. It just seems polite/courteous. Europeans are much better at it then we are. The US covers such a vast territory and everyone (or most) speak english. Can you imagine what a change it would be if every state spoke their own language?
Great thread Ship. I think you have to read between the lines for almost everyone here. Claayer, your a good example. Everybody has good/bad days, but you're mostly upbeat and that speaks to the type of person you are. (I still chuckle everytime I think of the "Auntie Claayer" thread)
In between type person myself. Like to be close enough to the city to commute. Same for the wide open spaces. Course, country in Illinois is miles and miles of cornfields.
Thats mainly why I stay in on Fridays. Seems like thats all they do at the gin mills around here. Don't want to listen to bad singing while I'm enjoying my beer!
