I have been in the forums for awhile now, and it's cool and all. I've received some good advice, learned some things and laughed at a lot of things said as well. I know Mingle2 is a dating site and after reading the about us section found out it's also a place to mingle and meet friends.

I guess what I'm wondering is how many people who go to the forums are really interested and serious about a LTR. It seems most are content with being alone, just here for friendship, joke about a thread thats been posted or rag on someone who ask a serious question regarding meeting someone. I keep reading the way to get to know someone is thur the forums, but I see the same people all the time posting and they aren't the one looking for a relationship it seems.

I'm I missing something? I'm I in the wrong place on Mingles? Just asking.

I think one of the issues is that everyone has problems finding local people. So, those that chat in the forums are there for entertainment, rather than just searching for relationships.

If I were to meet someone who was close enough and who I was interested in, that's cool. But right now, there aren't any guys close enough that I would be interested in dating here.

people are on here for different reasons.
i most definitely am not looking for a serious relationship,
and i've found many who aren't looking for one either.

I came here looking to find someone, but it's pretty clear that it's not going to happen.

Personally, I'm OK with being alone. I don't really "need" anyone -- everything I really need to do in life, I can do just fine on my own.

That isn't to say I wouldn't like to have someone around. But if I look back at all of my past relationships, I would gladly erase each and every one from my personal history if given a chance to do so.

But I do enjoy the forums and the friends I've made here, and that's enough to keep me on the site.

And I do know people who have found "the one" here, so it can happen.

I wasn't looking for ANY relationship.
But it came along anyway.
So, you might as well hang with
like-minded people :-)
Because, you never freaking know
the future.

good point..

I see your point. It's always the same people that post here.

I have only had one person message me, and quiet interested in me. But, I guess she wasn't thinking about the ocean between us at the time, as this quickly became a problem

Try a different dating website, my best advice ^_^
