Please, we Americans are not all like that. I think most would react innocently in the same way, expressing sympathy for someone who was hurt. It's the lawyers, those vultures, who want to turn everything into a blame game. They are sneered at as "ambulance-chasers" for a reason. I'm sorry to hear your fellow citizen was victimized in that way, but by that I mean it was an unforeseeable event for which no blame could possibly assigned to anyone, particularly you him or I.
Not certain how long exactly. For me it was about 2 months before my sweetie & I got together, although we had encountered one another before then. I know she had been a member before me so I cannot say how long it took her.
More to the point I think is CS is a fun place to hang out, lots of things to do & get involved with, and that facilitates meeting others. Rather than 'waiting' to meet someone, take the bull by the horns (or the other way around - whatever).
That's quite a perspective, Angel, and most reassuring. I don't think it helps with the thrill, though. I do believe there is something to the feeling of love that can be scary. Why else do we speak of "falling" in love?
Had any luck? Oh yes. I know of two couples just recently here on CS who have become seriously attached. (One of those couples is making wedding plans.) And I myself have also become attached (though some might wish to debate whether I am wonderful).
I can't guess whether your profile scares anyone off as I've not looked. As for your figure I think you (and many women) might be surprised to find how many men are not really that fixated on the Tale of the Tape.
I've only brief experience of one other dating site, and I must say CS is much better. It offers many ways to meet others & get involved.
Use your wit and sense of humor (the comment about the soapbox suggests both) to make your presence more visible. Good things may happen, I believe. Best of luck!
I agree mjames about those associated fears. Those are things to worry about it. I do think though that love itself can be scary, and that's not necessarily bad. I think there may be an element of fear to any sort of thrill.
As for being in it or not...we don't always get the choice beforehand, do we?
Is love scary? I've sometimes thought hope and fear are the same thing: the more you hope something will happen, the more you fear it won't. Conversely, the more you fear something might occur, the more you hope it won't. Either way, love's a potent force. It can roll right over you like a freight train, it can wash you out to sea like a rip tide with not a dolphin in sight to help. I think love can be kinda scary, sometimes. But it's also pretty cool. What do y'all think?
There are more than 5 but they include: Puppypower, Sweetlyscented, Nuliiiiiii, Veritaas, Demonfairy, Trulee, Opentuit...oh damn I've forgotten how to count again.
When Zombigeddon comes it's essential to be prepared. Lots of folk say oh, I'd go to Walmart. Wrong. Being open 24 hours it'd be overrun by the cannibal undead before you get there. The place to head for is a large sporting goods store that has fewer entrances to defend and stocks survival gear, dried & preserved food, camping equipment (power & water will go out) and of course guns & ammo. As for corraling them for study by scientists, are you kidding? Those milquetoasts haven't a chance. They have the tastiest braaaaaaaaaainsssss.
