Your friends are right. The results are all the same. I have met men from different site. Some I even dated for long periods of time,but most just want to move way to fast. One conversation and they are hearing wedding bells........thats not going to happen.

I do think you should meet women. Just make it what it is.....a meeting. Please dont pay for the first date. Go douch. Its a meeting. Hang out for an hour or longer if its going well. Do what feels right. But dont hide behind a computer......thats no fun at all.

Good luck

Cindy



WOOOHOOO... Go Sooners!!!! (lifetime OU fan)

So, just thought it should be known I'll be growing a beard.
You know, no real reason...


Oh say it isn't so! At the risk of sounding like a letcherous old Grandma ( I have grands almost your age) You look hot you definitely don't want to jck it up with a beard.

I meet more scammers than real people. I have meet a few from dating websites. As for pay sites, don't waste your money, I get more with the free sites. And yes I got scammers on the pay sites too, actually that's all I got.

Eh, still not shaving. I'll trim... but shaving sucks.

I have to agree with soufie here...
I appreciate people who put forth the effort of being a friend and not allowing distance to be a obstacle. Good plans together with either female or male/ friends or dating ... would go a long way.
I would make a effort to meet someone and it does not have to be for romantic purposes either.

I am afraid to meet you people.

If you move too fast or touch me then, I pee a lil. Makes social situations a bit trickier so, try not to judge me.

I think it's cool when the mingle gang gets together. I like looking at the pictures and reading the times had. But, for myself I'm so locked into the crowd I do stuff with being a part of another social group would not work. Mingle is my world outside of my world, yet I feel very much a part of the flow and vibe here. So, if there is such a thing as an inside outsider, that would be me.

Perhaps, if we click in the forums, and graduate to more private chat. Absolutely. I would cross the globe & take that chance. I've seen it work for a lot of other couples on here so far.

Does the crowd you belong to not tolerate you hanging out with other people or something?

No it's not that. It's just a different type of collective people. For example I hardly ever make social plans. Things for me happen more on the fly. I can't think of a social event that has worked out like planned for ages. My friends invite me knowing that I might make it but more than likely won't.

Even for those who like to be spontaneous, sometimes plans are needed if you actually want to see certain people. And even those people who don't make plans much are still able to do so once in a while when they really want to. If you don't want to actually see them and make plans, that's a different story.

My plans almost always revolve around production or tweak schedules, so it really doesn't have anything to do with wanting or not wanting to see people. It's more a matter of how to fit it in. For example (and this is very common) This weekend I was planning on diner with folks as well as hanging out at one of their places. Tuesday comes a package in the mail with a piece of music done four different ways followed with a call and email saying copying ran overtime and we need a decision by next Tuesday on which setup to go with. If I don't get this done everyone has to change their schedule down the road. Not going to happen! I've had Lynyrd Skynyrd playing on 2 music systems non-stop since Tuesday and even people who have stopped by to visit know they will be sitting outside hanging out with each other not with me.

I think it is easy to think that people have a particular type of social life because it seems like the norm. But in reality there is a whole sub-culture of people who live differently than the American norm. To us, our lives are the reality and the 40 hour a week people are the ones who depend on us to be Johny on the spot. We live more of a 24/7 lifestyle as opposed to a divided up schedule type of thing.

Yes, I get that your life is run by your job. I know others like that who sometimes need to actually make plans to do something. It's your choice to have that type of job where you must always cancel on people.

Nope far from my job running my life. More like my life is my job (dream). I get to live my dream along with my friends who have similar dreams.

Oh yes, ther are some I would travel any distance to meet.
Problem is my time.

Let alone a vacation. I'm not complaining....just the way it is!!!

I have met 2 local people from other sites,one guy I just did'nt have a click with and the other guy I am still friends with ,he is actually married now. As it turned out he was related to a co worker...lol. Noone from here yet, I'm not really willing to travel either so it does limit things.
