i hate to say this on this (mostly) free site but,,,,, the dating sites that you must pay for actually gives you waaaayyy more chances of finding the right one, plus scammers and trolls dont,wont and usually cant pay for it.


That may be true but any dating site, free or not, still needs an active local user base and where I live, no one seems to use any of them. eHarmony might match me up with the perfect women for me, but if she lives on the other side of the globe it doesn't do me much good




never stop praying. The globe may be right up into your face, close-up, on the other side of which she can be found, and that globe may well be one of her two full breasts.

Granted, you would need to pray quite a lot.

Bars. I try to avoid because I either end up:
A.**** face (See: I'm there to meet someone and as the hours tick-tock away I get drunker and drunker on account of not meeting any women.)

B.Broke (It ain't cheap that hooch where I live)

C.With cuts and bruises(maybe I fell got in a fight) don't remember because...

D. Blackouts (might not be a bad thing)

So I tend to tell my self:

"Being single is better than rushing into a sh!tty relationship."

That's why I'm giving this a shot. But from reading around these post it looks like I'm gonna need all the luck I can get.




As I was reading this, from the sounds of it, I thought you`d already been married and in a long, loving relationship with your wife and the seven keeds you two have. Especially after reading the second last line.

I got the conclusion, coz if this (points A to D) to you is better than being in a relationship, then... you are IN a relationship. (Grass, side, greeen, other.)

AND your drawing looks like John Travolta -- very good, very good.

I've been on a few dating websites with absolutely no results unfortunately for me. I know for some of you, you have met your sweetheart this way and I applaud you for that. It just doesn't seem to work for me though. No one in my general area I live in seems to use these sites. I do get plenty of Russian and Nigerian emails but something just doesn't seem right about them. I'd love to love someone but it seems I've been there and done that and maybe love won't come back my way again. I leave open the possibility but life seems to want to **** you over. Am I alone in my assessment?


Sadly not. Internet dating is a luck of the draw game. I do mean game. Some seem to treat it as such instead of taking it seriously. I get the feeling you aren't as social as some people are. You're shy, an introvert. Like me. We don't campaign ourselves that much and this is what we get in return: slim odds. Mostly just odd people in my world. Maybe you should post a fyler or something. "Want a date, you interested?" As unorthodox as that sounds, it could lift your spirits. I get the feeling you personally don't take chances when good things come your way. Just a vibe I'm getting. And your main problem is quite frankly you are limiting yourself to JUST your surroundings. Where's the fun in that? What if someone you've been searching for all your life lives in the states? Or even Oregon? California? New York? Don't limit yourself, only people who wish to be alone do this. Doesn't sound like you wanna be alone. Good luck, cause that's all it is.


You probably know me more than anyone else on this site and yes, I am an introvert which doesn't help when trying to meet someone. I think I could be a great companion to the right woman, I just haven't found her yet, and dating sites don't seem to bring me any closer. I want someone local which I've explained to you many times


Well it doesn't change the fact that you limit yourself to just your surroundings. Which I can understand. Maybe its convenience but see this is the confusing part for me...why do it? You want someone local yet you are not really putting yourself out there to be open-minded for the entire field of dating/finding love. I could understand the shyness a lot more than most think. I don't know what to tell you other than, your plan is not working.

My 2 cents (even though I think the rate has gone up). My sweetie pie said to me the other day when giving me one of those looks "your very loving". I thought that was such a cool thing to tell someone. It also makes a lot of sense. I enjoy being loving, and I enjoy when others share in that love. I'm not sure if "what about me?" cuts it, and get the feeling that many live in "what about me land" when they should just be their own loving self. Love is like a wonderful fragrance that tends to fill the room when it enters. People who spend time in sour mode usually find temporal love at best, and I think sadly miss out on their true (better) self. Others around them miss out as well, and maybe one of those others is actually the one.

Another thing is (I think) the nature of people. Months, maybe a year ago, I put up an honest thread that said "where are you" or something to that effect. I don't think I got one response from that. I thought that was so odd, and never sent out the vibe that I was looking or available again on here. Sites need to let down their guard a little I think. They need to be about caring more than the fears of not having. I get approached by a lot of nice caring people on here and hope that I share love with them in return and not injecting them with rejection or fear. Love and being lovely go hand and hand, and I believe swings to the positive side of life and not the negative. If you spend your time building a pool yet don't keep the water refreshing and clean, why would anyone want to swim in it with you.

how many cents is that?

I'm flattered my topic summoned the wise man. Your two cents are priceless, seriously. I have respect for you and will take your words to heart.
