I like what you said MysticalUnicorn. My problem with online dating is you're giving too much personal information prior to meeting that person.
I like to see and hear, even more so "touch" (handshake) with that person. You can't get all that from online dating.
Soon you might have to fax a copy of your current police record, medical and mental evaluation and maybe even your last W-2's, prior to going on a date.
In a marriage relationship, you both take a vow, then she turns to you and reads to you, your "Miranda Rights". That's how it works in the "real world".
I don't agree about compromising to person's personal habits, I don't like.
example: If they smoked, took illegal drugs, "cheating", lying, or anything I dislike, why would I want begin a relationship, knowning that there's a conflict of interest at the start.
I won't compromise or settle, it's better to start a trusting, healthy and loving relationship from the beginning.
Yes, you can fall in "Love" with someone.
In the long term, if their unhealthy habits continue, you'll agree that you wish you never had. JMO
When I meet someone in public and I asked her out on a date, I don't know anything about her. First, I asked her if she's in a relationship with someone. If not she can said yes or no to my offer to take her out on a date.
Why do women or men on a dating site, want to know all your personal business "first" by a dozen or so emails and phone calls, "before", they would go out on just a "date".
I know you must think personal safety first, but honestly, I not asking her to marry me, I just want go on a date with her.
I would like her to see what kind of fun guy I'm in real life on a date.
im always a bit put off by new people that instantly start complaining or desire to help CS 'improve'
thats just my feeling about it. ////////////
I'll take responsibility for this topic, however, I won't take responsibilty for how each person understand it's meaning. Everyone can read the same sentence, and come away with a different meaning.
If I don't like somone's opinion, or topic, I just pass over it and go to another one. I'm not here to change anyone's "way of thinking".
There are some limits I don't cross, I don't bash someone for their opinion or the OP's topic.
Regardless, if she's single, divorced, married, widower, or "deceased", they have the right to voice their opinion on this forum. Sorry, what I mean about "deceased", is some people have no "feelings", you can see it in their profile, their comments, and most likely their everyday lifestyle is the same way. JMO
Again, I'm new, it was just an initial observation on my part. I meant no disrepect, and I apologize to anyone I may have offended.
I noticed alot of topics that are posted, start to get interesting, then all of a sudden, a two, three, sometimes a four way personal converstations start among other members that has nothing to do with the topic, and you lose interest or forget what the topic was about.
I must admit that the OP must be very aggravated when they are asking for an opinion and these "thread busters" start posting a personal conversations among themselves, that has nothing to do with the topic. Sorry for repeating what I said. JMO
I did post a short introduction thread earlier. No responses.
I guess it's best for me to wait for a couple months before I decide if this site is just good for the forums, and not for really meeting anyone close to my age.
I just left the "who's viewed me", it don't look too good for me. My age, I'm a non-smoker, and live too far to date/meet anyone. Those few items seem to knock me out of the singles dating playing field.
Again thanks everyone. I just hang around the forums for awhile.

Dating vs getting to know someone first?
I guess that background check from your friend ex-wife, didn't seem to help their marriage.Maybe your friend should have done a background check on her, it would have been a whole lot cheaper! Before saying "I DO".
