Respond to some of the topics in the forums that you find interesting...give us your point of view on things...you'll be surprised how many friends you will make this way (I speak from experience!!) because you make connections based on your views...then take it from there...this is a great way to meet people who share your ideals and outlook...
Abra if you are playing "devils advocate" then you're doing a great job...if you're not...i'm wondering why exactly you are on a dating site...(and i'm not being offensive or sarcastic)..the points you are bringing up are actually very small in the whole scheme of things..it almost sounds like you are refusing to believe that unorthodox circumstances do exist. Chewing with ones mouth open and being rude to strangers is not a quality reserved for internet dating people...it could have happened with someone you met at your workplace and decided to ask out...and by the way if a person has such little regard for their fellow human being i would imagine that would have come out in some form in the conversations you were having previously... Taking a risk at loving someone is not exclusive to internet dating...it is one we take daily...
I guess this would be my reply to Abra as to would you still "go for it".... There is no "spark" but there is so many other qualities to consider...would it be worth a try to see if one can build on that...
what hasn't been explored is the day to day habits and traits that you learn as you spend more time with them...and i agree those things could affect a relationship, but does that stop you from falling in love with them in the first place...the fact that they may have bed head...or morning breath...or yucky toenails...
I also agree that "spiritual love" is something on its own all together...but that's just it..its a spiritual love based on different qualities a person possesses
I am suggesting that it is possible to be in love with someone before meeting them...and if you meet in person and the "chemistry" is not there...that's unfortunate but it would not stop me from loving the "person" i had gotten to know...
But doesn't this go hand in hand with the ones on here that say that appearances aren't everything...its the inside that counts...could you not be in love with that person's "inner" being?...or am i wrong in this?
If you met someone on here...talked to them for a while and really got to know them that way...and everything seemed to just click...loved all their personality traits and shared their interests...but then you met them in person and the "spark" just was not there....would you still go for it?
So what do you think? On this site we get to really know some people before we actually come face to face...is it possible to be IN LOVE with that person before you actually meet them in person?
If anyone sees me walking on the side of the road...just pick me up will you...and for all the rest of ladies that get there first...save a lick for us will 'ya...
Just for fun i'd like to write a "Dear John" letter...(the kind that tells them this is the end of the road...) but i'd like my friends to help me...sort of..lol
I'm going to start the first line of the letter and i'd like everyone to post an adjoining sentence to keep this letter going...think it might be fun?
