seems most people think we live right in their living room and can step out of the screem at any moment and live happily ever after





They don't and they can't?? SO THAT'S BEEN THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!

After much research and participation in these threads I've come to the conclusion that this is a nice way to waste time nothing more and nothing less.


Thanks for wasting your time with us.

I made a mutual match with a guy who lived within 10 miles of me early February this year. He asked me out right away, and normally I would have talked more and waited, but for some reason, this time, I did not. We met face to face February 15th. We have been inseperable ever since, I moved into his house in May, and we just spent our first Christmas together, and things are amazing. We have never fought, of course we get frustrated at each other, but this is the first time that I've been in a relationship where we are mature enough to talk out our problems. We have overcome a lot in the last almost year, and I see us spending the rest of our lives together, I really do.

Yesterday morning we were at my parents house for breakfast, and I went into the kitchen to help my mom finish getting breakfast ready, she asked me what I got for Christmas. I told her a remote starter for my car. She yelled out into the living room for my BF to come into the kitchen and she yelled at him for not getting me a ring and proposing. She loves him to pieces.

Anyways, there are happy ending stories on here! I think that there are more then what it seems. I don't know how many people continue on a dating site after they have found someone. I still come around periodically because of the great friends that I made along the way.

it is true you never know when you may fall for a person but you should be knowledgable enough to say doesn't matter how much I care for this person our lifestyles are so much different she will never be happy in my world nor I in hers so don't let it move farther you just set yourself up for failure



Exactly. And, one of my biggest mistakes has been to fall in love and then try to make it work no matter what. I have to approach this more logically and that is hard to do being the hopeless romantic that I am. But, I'm learning fast.

I am the same way!!

there are men out there who are available.... but I have to agree with a comment about what we want... sometime we all both men and women settle for less in hopes of finding love and then it all falls apart "no commitment"... .... but by the same token you really have to work hard at a relationship have a outstanding outlook on who you are and who they are be willing to compromise accept faults weaknesses and yet revel in the positive things and build on that..... personally I wouldlove to meet just one woman who is willing to try that.. so its a two way street... frustrated

Where have you been all my life???? I have been looking for a guy that gets it!! Looks like there is!! Unfortunately none of the one i went out it including my exhusband did not get it

When you fall in love it doesn't automatically means it will be to the right person but if you look for reason not to your a 100% sure to find one, nobody is perfect, everybody have flaws and are my preconceived way of thinking who she should be the right ones.

Maybe I want one kind of woman but she is all there is wrong for me maybe my screening process should be reviewed, maybe all I want is all there is wrong for me so whatever time I take or see in her doesn't matter because what I want is the completely opposite of what I should have so i will always choose the wrong on and let the right one pass by. So doesn't matter how I use my head I will always be wrong.

i seem to fall in love with the bad boys and i am trying to avoid the bad boys. Just can't seem to find a good boy

The funny thing about us is, he grew up on the next block over and then down a few blocks. We grew up together sooo close to each other, but he is 5 years older then myself, and we never crossed paths in school. He knows some of my older cousins though.

My smarty smart friend Lily0923 told me that the only emotionally available men are the ones
we aren't interested in.

God we are messed up, huh? laugh


Leave it to Lily to cut straight to the heart of things.

Funny how it works. The guys that actually WANT what a certain woman has to offer is usually the guy that the woman has absolutely no interest in.

I think it's the whole " wanting what we can't really have, and not wanting what's right in front of us " deal.

I guess the question could be asked...

Is there life after the real world?

It's no different online than in the real world. No matter where you meet someone, whether it's online, a bar, the grocery store, in line at the bank, or where ever, it's still the same process of elimination. Whether in person or online, you still have to get to know the person, find out their likes and dislikes, what makes them tick, where their heart is, etc. But when it comes to "honesty" with their feelings, and what they want, and what their goals are, they can lie to your face just as easily as they can lie or deceive online. Not all guys or girls are going to lie online, and not all guys or girls are going to do it in the real world. But the shortcomings of a few or bad past experiences should not be held against others. Pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and keep going. Lord knows I've had to do that a few times. :wink:
