I got out of a pretty bad relationship a little while back. and was a little hesitant at first about going back out there. And it seems now that most of my friends are all married w/ kids. and constantly get harrassed by them because I'm not out meeting new girls. The reality is that I work so much that it's hard for me. And I feel at this point that just meeting a girl at a bar is not something that I want to do anymore. I'm not saying I'm ready to get married or anything. But it would be nice to meet a nice girl to go out on a few dates with. So I guess my question does this kind of thing happen here or am I SOL. And I know that I need my pic up but I'm hesitant. about putting my pic online. can anyone aleve my hesitations.

I would suggest taking a look around in the threads... there is one called "JSH success stories" there is a "magic" thread, there is a "matchmaking thread" and in general success stories are found in many, many areas in here.

But to answer your question, YES. It does.

you will definitely get dates if that's what you want. you just have to take the initiative and ask. but speaking for all the girls on here, please be honest and upfront with whom you date. if you don't want to settle down, then be upfront about it. that's the best advice. completely be yourself and don't be too shy. just be honest! we appreciate it.

any suggestions for a picture. as I said I really am new to this and I feel that I present myself much better in person. It seems to me that my personality doesn't really come out in type. I guess that's why I find this frustrating

Odds are your co-workers will never see this site if that's what's making you hesitate... and only good can come out of putting a picture since a lot of people here dislike talking to people who don't have a picture up..

And this site can work if you and the person you're talking to are trying to make it work.. but a lot of the times people here try to let things up to chance which is a bad way to try to make things work because without an attempt to meet up and date nothing will happen.. chance, fate and luck only gets you so far.. but yeah it can work if you try.. allegedly some people who met here have had some good relationships and heard about a few couples who got married.. though i never met them just read about it while lurking the forums.. they really sohuld have a results category in the forums(do they have one?) so others can see it works or if it's not working and is just a place for friendship.. er.. yeah.. but yeah that's just my opinion about this site.. it can work if you and the person you're talking to try hard enough.. and like each other ofcourse. :tongue:

Take a look around, if interested in someone, drop them a hello & take it from there, but take your time get to know people first, this is the internet, good luck!!

Put up a photo or otherwise they might fall in love with the blue box. Would be tragic if you met two met later and they just loved you for your blue box. I could just see it. You and them are getting romantic and they ask you to put the blue box back on. It could cause you to get jealous of the blue box after a while.laugh

Nice!! But the laughs on you I'm a member of the blue man group and having to deal with the stresses of wearing a blue box shouldn't be that far of a stretch. jklaugh either way props that was some funny stuff

I say go for it! BUT I think you should put up a pic. I personally don't chat/email someone if I can't see a pic. I think it's only fair. As far as meeting people, that's a good posibility, but just be yourself. I met a great guy here, we went out for a nice dinner got along really well. We met again another time for drinks. We really enjoyed eachothers company. Being straight forward is key! We let eachother know that we are very busy people. We knew from the start that we don't have a lot of time to date. We let eachother know what we were looking for. (friendship & someone we can hang out with from time to time) Not a relationship. I personally don't have time for boyfriend, so I let it be known upfront. He did as well. It was great! We talk, txt, email from time to time. I'm really glad we met & had some fun....Good Luck!
