Welcome to C.S. Its working out ok for me I guess. I don't find it any different then meeting a guy at a club/bar and then finding out he's a weirdo after all. At least when your doing the online dating thing, you can weed through the person a bit more before meeting them face-to-face. Good luck to you.
There is a chance for everyone, and I do believe you definetly have a chance at love. But at the moment, since you are young, exlore your options a little more before you decide to settle down with just one person. You have plenty of time. This way when you explore your options-talking to and dating various types of men-you will realize what exactly it is that you want and dont want in a man based on your dating experiences- a person always learns from their experiences and mistakes.
We all have these generalized criterias, we want in a person, such as honesty and caring but that criteria goes alot deeper when it comes to love. For example, how do you want the person to handle you when it comes to an emotional situation? My whole point is that dont worry about having chance because you definetly will have a chance at love..maybe even several chances, but find out what it really is that you want before you make a commitment to finding love in the next person.
It's difficult to find people with the perfect criteria your lookin for (such as age and location) and I was skeptical about talking to someone who is about 500 miles from me as well. But I sucked it up because I was really into this person. To make a long story short, after we have spoken for a while, we have made plans to meet each other. Sometimes you just have to accept the long distance issue if you are really interested in someone. Good Luck.
I think your right. A positive attitude would be the best thing. like I said before there is always someone out there for everybody. I do not think you need to gain weight.
I will tell you this. I am not even going to vote on the poll because all the answers you have given are irrelevant. So I will make up a new answer for your poll. I think you look fine just the way you are. You should never change yourself to please others. You should only change for yourself and change for the better. Not for someone else. If you are happy with the way you look then why bother asking what other people think. There is always someone out there for everybody no matter how a person looks. If you feel unhappy with yourself ask yourself why? Is it because you are too caught up on what others think? Or do You feel you need to change? The majority of the reason why people dont like the way they look is becuase most people feel they have to appease others; fit in the crowd so to speak. So please. Do not think that you have to gain weight and for those...loose weight just to please other men (and for men, please women). Because only you can be happy with yourself.
I am not a frequent drinker, but I drink socially and that's once in a blue moon. If I am in a relationship with someone who doesn't drink, it wouldn't bother me. But it would be nice if they would come out with me once and a while to a club even if they do not drink. You don't always have to drink to have a good time at a club.
