Being in love is very different for each of us. There is no formula to it.
One person's heaven is another's hell.
The only way I can explain the term of "being in love" is when you cant think of anyone else, you cant breathe without having them enter your thoughts and you would lay down your life for them, and couldnt imagine life without them..
"Loving someone" is different. Its a more practical emotion. You want the best for them, you wish them well and want them never to be in a situation of harm or hurt, but you can also live without them in your life.
But I think a guy as good looking as you should have no trouble finding a date, if he so chose..
The amount of people who start chatting to people in supermarkets, shops in general, walking in the park, etc is amazing. I've heard of it, and know that it happens..
If all else fails, ask to borrow your neighbour's baby, walk down the street looking stressed, and you will have the ladies flocking to you...
However, I find that first, emboldened paragraph interesting. What you say SHOULD be the case, but I have noticed quite clearly that the majority of the more recently joined members are in their 20s generally. There seems to be an influx of them over recent weeks.
I had wondered about this, and why they were looking to date online, rather than look in the areas you stated. When I was in my 20s, certainly on a Friday or Saturday night, I was out and about meeting people, not sat at home!!
Well, Im NOT desperate, and I make the first move sometimes!! Ive seen it said on here many times by guys,that they would be DELIGHTED for a woman to make the first move for a change..
Also, perhaps thats the reason why women also dont make the first move too - for fear of rejection..
I think that due to the confusing signals us ladies give out sometimes, I think that the man has kind of sat back a little, and waited.
I personally dont have a problem with making "The First Move"; if I see something/someone I want, I go for it. You can make the "initial advance" and still be a lady. I think the guys appreciate that, for once, we have taken the initiative.
I like to be pursued, yes, of course..its very flattering..but dating is a two way street, and sometimes you just have to go for it.
Yes, Ive met guys from here. One couldnt cope with being "platonic", one, well, we just were not suited, and another, well, Ive not met him yet in person, but I think he is wonderful!
But sometimes, guys need to know that you are interested in them. They may feel afraid to appproach you. Its nice for them to know that you have noticed them enough to make that "First Move"..
RE: What has happened to all the virtual saturday night parties?
No, the spark is not lost, Deise. Just different people to when you joined. Time moves on. There are different people here now.
