I think it is unreasonable to be seeking a relationship openly online because then you become a target and some people might want to take advantage. I am not in a relationship anymore and I strongly doubt that the next guy i date will be someone i meet online...but who knows I am staying open about things. It is better to be looking for friendship because that is usually the best way to get to know a person without there being any pressure to not be yourself. Those who hope to find a relationship online are probably shy or just not into the social dating scene. such as third party introductions and just flat out tired of searching and want to stay in their comfort zone.


I don't agree with this...not 100% at least.

See, I am here to meet women and also make some guy friends to. I have been here for about two weeks now, and have met many interesting people, and made some friends to. Now, do I think I can meet someone here and have a relationship beyond friendship? Yes I do.

You talked about how people can take advantage of you openly on the net. Well, that can also happen out in real world too. I mean, how many times have you seen a guy pick up a girl at a club for the purpose of a one nighter? You hear people say all the time how they don't feel a club is the right place to meet "Mr. or Mrs. Right". But, we go to a club looking spiffy in the hopes that we can find someone there. And it usually isn't going out to meet the future spouse. My point is this. At least on sites like JSH, you can be yourself and also play the role of something else. You might be in a "comfort zone" but at least at home you can log on and make friends from all over and still be in your PJ's. You can talk to people, have fun flirting, and it is all in the comfort of your home. You don't have to go out to find a man or woman. You can develop a friendship here and you can see if one of those friendships can lead to something more.

Now, I do realize that people can lie about who they are on here. I have heard the stories. But, even in the flesh, people still lie about who they are. That won't change. Dating is always risky. Always has been, always will be. However, when you come to sites like this, you do a combatability test. I know these are not 100% accurate, but it is still effective. You are shown people who you match up with, and then you move on from there. For me, it has been on the forums where I feel that you really get to know people. If you talk to them one on one, you really get to know them. And that is a good thing.

So, I don't feel it is unreasonable to be seeking to find a relationship on JSH. I think you can, but I feel you should do it in the right way. Take time to make friends and then see where something might lead to.

I do agree with Goof. I am also a firm believer that there is someone out there that is meant for everyone. You will meet them one day whether it is online or standing in line somewhere. And just because someone might say there are here just for friends, doesnt mean that they are against the idea. Love shows up when you least expect it.

I wouldnt know it if someone was interested in me or not. They would need to hit me over the head with something, or tell me verbatim...word for word.

I HAVE to believe there is someone for everyone, if not... I would seriously lose hope.

When it happened, we were both just drawn to eachother. It was like we had known eachother all our lives. Greatest thing that ever happened to me.

i did meet the ideal woman but due to me being insecure[maybe ] i did eventually lose her after we both cried and hugged each other the day we parted i do believe there is someone out there for everyone

I'm on here mostly looking for some casual conversation. I have friends, but it's nice to be able to find someone with a quick wit to talk to.

Im here to make friends, and have lots of chats with people, and learn about me, by listening to the tales of others, and seeing what fits, and what doesnt.

Any thought that makes you think ... if you know what I mean ... helps us grow as us.
