RE: What is your dating goal?

My goal has changed several times since joining CS.

Initially, it was to meet that special guy, as it is a dating site.

Then, it became more a place to meet friends and learn about foreign cultures, which is interesting.

The strange thing is, although its not that strange really - is that as soon as I had that change of mind set, things started happening...



There's a lesson in there somewhere, for me, anyway!!

RE: What would you do for love?

Hi BC..

As regards your own post, my feeling is mixed. I can understand why your guy doesnt wish to participate in the forums, because when you are in here, all kinds of things happen - flirting, disagreements, confrontation in some cases, and if you are "in negotiations" with someone its difficult not to take these things to heart. So I can understand why he may want to take a step back.

Alternatively, the forums ARE a great place to note people's reactions and consistency, and it IS good fun to flirt with your special guy/gal without others knowing you are in private contact. It is really down to the individuals how obvious they make it..

I personally am currently planning to travel quite a long way to meet someone; but Im lucky, I dont have committments here in Ireland, so I can do that. I appreciate some people cant.

RE: Help!!!!!! I Need The Geek Squad!

Im no expert, but can you not just do a Systems Restart, and restore your computer settings to a restore point prior to when you deleted your photos?

I hate Vista, and every computer geek Ive spoken to agrees. It seems to be responsible for more mess ups than anything else. I bought my laptop last year with All Singing, All Dancing Vista. Within a few months, I had problems.

I got fed up with it, took it back to the shop and had it completely wiped, and XP put on. Its been perfect since. XP definately seems better and more reliable, in my humble opinion.

Good luck Wednesday - hope you get all your photos back!

RE: Looking for feedback...almost a decade of being single and sick of it!! (long)

Hi there, azu, and welcome to CS!

You sound like a lovely lady, and have been very open and honest about yourself in your post. You have given everyone a really great insight into your personality and feelings about things..

I dont think you will have a problem meeting someone, whether it is here, or not. There are some lovely guys on here, and Im sure they will be all viewing your profile very soon!

Just a suggestion - there is a section now here to specifically put your profile up for review and feedback. Perhaps that might be a good idea also?

Welcome again, and good luck!

RE: why some people on here don't have photos?

RE: why some people on here don't have photos?

Some people have legitimate reasons for not putting up a profile picture. If they work in a large organisation, where they are known by lots of people, or live in a small community where everyone knows everyone else...

I agree, it is much nicer to SEE the person who is contacting you, but just because they dont have a picture up, does not make them a scammer, or a player, or someone who has sinister intent.

If someone contacts you with a photo, all you have to do, if you want to get to know them better is ASK FOR ONE. If they refuse, or delay again and again, then perhaps they are not sincere. If they want to email you one, after talking for a while, then great. Where's the harm? If you dont trust them enough to give them your email address, then the answer is clear - you dont trust them anyway, and its time to block and delete.

The people who are doing the MOST damage, are the fake and multiple profilers. They give all the other non-photo profiles a bad rep, alot of the time for no good reason.

RE: When do you talk about past relationships or do you?

Awwwww, that's sweet, Thumps..

RE: When do you talk about past relationships or do you?

Nope, could live with an Italian Gun..

As long as I dont have to share the bed with a horse's head...

Ah, so it WASNT you I saw headling in "HJ Does Houston", then??

RE: When do you talk about past relationships or do you?

Was that with your Big, Huge, Intimidating American Gun????



I'm sure I saw a movie about you..the guy was wearing hot pants too, as it happens...

RE: Attitude---Can we talk?

Nah, not me, JD...

I just can give as good as I get, when it comes to Sarcasm...

RE: When do you talk about past relationships or do you?

I dont care what someone has done in their past relationships; its none of my business.

I dont want to know how many women they have been with, or how many times they argued, and what they argued about. I dont want to become someone's shrink; I want to be their partner.

The only exception would be if they have a deep routed issue that COULD affect our current relationship. Then, maybe, it would be good to explore it. Maybe...

Other than that, no. The past is the past. Move on to the sequel..

RE: Are u a good person or not ?

I've always been true to my own conscience..I've tried to do the right thing, although sometimes it backfires. But I've always tried my damndest to ATTEMPT to do the right thing.

Sometimes, however, you cant always please EVERYONE, so sometimes it ends in tears.

The only way to go is to do what YOU think is right..

RE: Attitude---Can we talk?

Quite!!

RE: Should this man go to jail

Obviously, the authorities have to, and will do, look into it, into the family histories, the states of mind of the people involved, circumstances, etc..

But, no, sounds like a a case of Accidental Death to me..

Poor man..

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Um, this could get a bit smutty...

RE: why men love b-i-t-c-h-e-s?

"Some", being the optimum word there, J...

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

I dont want a POOR man and I can certainly live without a RICH man.

All I want is a REAL MAN.

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

I understand what you are saying there, but its not really where I was coming from. Of course there is always a way around the finances, and one partner IS usually better at managing them than the other.

My point is, and I have been there, and nearly lost EVERYTHING through my ex partner's financial stupidity, I would never go into another relationship without knowing that he could at least look after me, if I was unable to work and provide my own income - through illness or whatever other reason.

As I said previously, being SOLVENT, and being RICH are two completely different things.

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Maybe..

Did I sound like someone out of Father Ted, then??

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Nope, still diggin' here, pub..

Much more of this diggin, and I'll be having tea with Virgomonkey in a couple of days...

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

I'd noticed...

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Dig, dig, dig...

Good, thanks lady...you too, I trust??

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Very true, Lago..

Lets be honest here, NO ONE wants to take on someone with extreme financial problems, whether man or woman. Its not fair, and causes a lot of pressure in a relationship.

HOWEVER, just because you would rather be with someone who is SOLVENT, not necessarily RICH, doesnt make you mercenary. Just sensible.

A man's bank balance is not the most important thing, no, but Im not taking on a bankrupt either..

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Quite..

You took the words RIGHT out of my mouth, Sir..






How much gold you got, by the way??

Sorry, wrong thread...

RE: ah f#*k it had enough

I read some of your threads, steelman, and I saw some of the comments. However, I do believe some people also stuck up for you too.

Two months is nothing, and you have not been posting on the forums for that long anyway, as far as I have seen.

As Summer says, there are plenty of good people here, so just stick with it.

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Moi?????

RE: Do women go for men with lots money?

Hmmmm..my kind of thread...

Kinda reminds me of something...
