Topic: Who here believes their family and friends

That is true in theory, but sometimes our family and friends have their own ideas about what is and what is not their business. Meh -- I have no family, and my friends know better than to say anything, anyway. Nobody else's opinion would even carry any sort of potential relevance.... It is true that people's opinions should not faze us, but there is another side. Let's say you are going to meet someone for the first time on "their turf." You know they will judge you fairly but their friends and families are not jumping on board the love train. I would have a difficult time finding the comfort zone that would allow me to be myself if pressure was brought to bear those surrounding the one I am to meet.

would be automatically sceptical of someone you've met online? Yeppers! I always get the raised eye brows and the head shaking. The thing is, it is usually folks who have never been on a dating site and really know very little about the net at all.

The way I see it is that you'd think by now that internet dating would've lost most if not all of the stigma attached to it. However, too often that does not seem to be the case.

Well it's like most things the media reports, ya only hear the negative.

Well, I told my mom about my recent 'incident'. She suggested I go back to bars to meet men. I reminded her I met my ex husband in a bar. She then said, okay. You go back to the Internet.... at least you figured this one out before you married him! I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that... I do.... it's called apathy. No, but seriously I am okay. Just more cautious with a dealbreaker list double the size. my dealbreaker list =dead and stll no dates

I loved it when people told me to go to church and meet a guy.....I met my ex in church, I still don't know how he disguised himself so well that God didn't strike the building with lightning every time he entered.
