How many of you have run into members of the opposite sex at online dating sites that ask: "So what are you looking for?".
I mean can't we just chat, meet, chat some more and figure that out when we get to it? Do we have to lay the ground rules before we even talk on the phone? Are people nowadays so afraid of relationships that they have to find out where they stand BEFORE they get out from behind the computer and talk to each other face to face? |

If you take a look at 99% of the profiles around here, you'll see that they normally don't give the first clue as to what a person wants in the one they figure they can be in a relationship with.
That's why people ask that question. If people were to put a little ( read a LOT ) more effort and thought into their profile, people would already have a good idea what the person who wrote said profile is looking for. * Note * I am not saying this is necessarily the case with your profile because I haven't looked at it. |

I personally think that people should meet face to face fairly quickly...talking with someone face to face is much different than in text... |

Exactly, cause there is no delete key in verbal communication, when you say something creepy or something you're lying your a$$ off about. |

Are people nowadays so afraid of relationships that they have to find out where they stand BEFORE they get out from behind the computer and talk to each other face to face? So besides the insightful information in your profile, what are you looking for? My point exactly! Why don't you talk to me and find out? I have had detailed profiles with what I like, what I don't like, what I'm looking for, what I'm NOT looking for...and guess what? I got asked the same question: "So what is it you're looking for?". So you see, it doesn't matter either way. *shrug* |

I think people anymore do seem fairly afraid to leave their comfort zone. The world could use a dose of adventurous spirit.

I agree with the point that the ground rules, are hillarious. At this point I ask if they could whou me with their intellect. The answers in reply are priceless! I just like people, I enjoy talking, and conversing... There is something to learn from everyone, the person you talk with might not be the soulmate but maybe someone interesting. Interesting smart, savy friends are a commodity that is always in demand.

Some people know what they want, should we bicker about people that want to date within their race? Younger or older? Skinny or not? Though I do agree, some men/women could care less what a potential mate wants, they just like drooling over the photo. |

I think people anymore do seem fairly afraid to leave their comfort zone. The world could use a dose of adventurous spirit. Exactly. Ok...let's say you walk up to a person in a bar...or maybe even someone you meet at work or at an event and ask them out (wow...that's how people USED to find each other, imagine that). So you go on your first date...are you going to ask that person "Soooo...what are you looking for?". Of course not, you're gonna play it by ear. See what happens. |
