Online dating sites were recommended to me by a friend who had tried them. I chose Mingle because it was free. I'm glad I didn't go to a pay site because I'm pretty much convinced that online meeting/dating doesn't generally work.

However, I enjoy participating in the forums quite a bit.


I can testify that PAYING was a waist of quite a bit of money, if the other person does not pay you are SOL.


Yes community is awesome to say the least.

What we think of you or your profile?


Your smile is explosive I smiled looking at it. More photos would be cool, but that first one might carry you a long way.

Your Profile is short, more info about some of your hobbies would be helpful.
Remove "where you work"; I would dare to guess that there are not many places like where you work in your hometown. This is juicy info for a Stalker to figure out where you are.

Good luck

Hey, I was wondering, without reading my profile just looking at picture(s),
What would you rate me (from 1-10, 10 the biggest) how hot/cute that you think I am.

Also, what do you like about me?

I'm a little insecure about myself and my body..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The same as above, but just on my about me.

What do you like about it?

What should I change? Add?

I really want to know...


First of all you are an attractive young Lady, as others have said, the dreds are very suited to you and your personality that I gathered.(an Otaku whom might listen to J-Pop)

What do you like about it? The photos are nice and the Profile is to the point.

What should I change? I would remove your comment about Sex and Your sexual orientation and phrase it to say: "I am open to dating both Men and Women". It gets your point across with out being as vulgar. (You could put that at the top of your profile.) As it is you are target enough for a flood of really horrible emails and matches from some unsavory Men.

I would also say 420 Friendly instead of what you have written.

You might want to pull the short list of Interests you have and put them in the form box when you edit your profile; When you search you can click on those Interests and find others whom enjoy Anime ETC..


Add? your Otaku... you should add that in your interests. Some more Interests would be cool but ultimately that is your choice.

ご幸運をお祈りします - ごこううんをおいのりします

It seems the majority of the men on the dating sites don't fill out their profile info and then say "ask me anything and I will tell you" Man that bugs me.

Most women I know have a common complaint that their men don't share or talk about their feelings, hopes, dreams and goals. If you are starting out by saying "Ask Me" it's a pretty tell tale sign that later on in the relationship the women will have to ASK to get the guy to talk and share.

I am searching out someone who doesn't need to be asked - someone who wants to share ... someone who communicates without a prodding.

Why do you guys do this??? arrrggghhh.


I do not know why Guys do this, I also do not know why Gals do this either...
This is not a gender specific problem, to me Laziness is Mediocrity...

When posting a profile you can add in a lot of information; Likes, Dislikes and what you are looking for in a potential date, it does not mean you have to put so much up that your life is exposed.

To the OP; Keep searching, looking, chatting and browsing the forums... You will eventually find someone interesting.

You arent going to know a thing until you have met. Until then you can only guess, and its not worth guessing how things will be, because one way or another you'll get it wrong. Even if things do work out, they wont work out exactly as you would guess they might.



Oh yeah, life will always happen, but I have learned over the years to have a back up plan, but yet nothing ever goes to plan. It is all in how we weather it and what steps we take to be able to roll with it.


The only other tip i can give you, is that if this lady is another forum poster, keep your business out of the forums(and i mean OUT!).



Or not post such a topic with out first consulting Her...

Yes, I understand it does seem fast, She and I have talked about this.

There is nowhere, either of us are going to, that needs to be gotten to in a hurry. We both have our careers, our goals(which are also very much the same), and our children.

We also only plan on Dating til one of our mutual goals has been accomplished, which may take another year or so.

But your advise is well placed, and I appreciate it, Thank you.


You are in no hurry, but yet you have a plan already?

Chuck your plan outta the window and enjoy the ride. See where it goes.

Once you have actually met, you can maybe start making a game plan.


That is a good point Dan, I think sense the both of us are so organized and thought out we had not seen that... going to bring it up tonight and see if we can develop another strategy.

Pun intended

Being prepared should be a good idea... the thing we are looking at right now is if we do actually fit, if we fit then we move on to a relationship/courtship/dating ritual.
I do understand what you mean about going with the flow, we are not going to play that game of "if we do all these right things will we click". We are already friends, we just have to find out if we have the "spice" to be more than friends.

Our lives are such that it hinders what some would call normal dating; Once we reach our primary goals, we can then look at seeing each other more than once a month/two months.
I do not want to interfere with Her plans; to many times have I been in a relationship where one of us gave up the dream to please the other, nor does She want to interfere with mine.




***After I re-read my post it looks as though I am making a biting remark and I did not mean to, it is my poor taste in humor.

Which usually gets me in trouble...

So far on Mingle I have met some of the most interesting Women; Bright, Funny, Sexy, Intelligent, Spiritual, Like Minded, Kind, Generous, Wise, Cute, Soulful and several other adjectives that would fill up the page. (oh and from Texas lol)

I have been talking to one Woman for the past four days.

It started in emails complementing each other on photos and profiles. We discovered that we have so much in common it is kind of scary. We then went on to Instant Messages, ETC...
First night we went from email to telephone in eight hours! (I am still astonished by the level at which we understand each other)
We talk, joke, compare notes on how much alike we are. We start talking about our rules and what it was we expected from our past partners that we had not received.
Slowly we start laying down our own rules to each other, what we want from this experience and if we were open to dating others or would it be exclusive. (at the time we both agreed on open dating, if something changed for one of us that we should voice it to the other so we can discuss it)

The second day as she went about Her day and I mine; we would text each other intermittently through out the day.
Near the end of my day, I received a call from one of the brokers asking if I could pull a recovery load for him and that it would be a short run with bonus pay, I almost said no but the guy cut me off and said that he would owe me a favor. With out thinking I blurted out, Such-an-such State. The guy goes DONE and sets up the job.
Once I am off the phone I text Her to let Her know I might have good news. I tell Her that I might have a run to where She is, She instantly gets excited, which is the reaction I expected from Her.
After a lengthy conversation we had agreed that we would like to have a more Formal date, but the first meet should be casual. I was struck with an idea, and it was Genus. We had discussed friendship first and that if there was no spark that we could at least be good friends for all that we have in common.
My Genus idea was that the first thing we should do is get the "First Kiss" out of the way. If there is no spark we can go on with our meet as friends and no BS; However, If there is a spark we just eliminated hours of guessing games and pretense. She agreed with anticipation.
We continued to talk, finally ending the night for the both of us on the phone for three hours. (We are starting to finish each others sentences already)

On the third day I am moving through the mountains leaving me with with hardly a signal, but I get most of Her side of the day and She is having a bad time of it. Being the type of person I am, I sent Her a couple of texts, as I could, to offer Her some support (She explained to me this action moved her emotionally); Her work day was brightened and ended on a high note.
After having a rather short day, we are able to get on the phone earlier than we had the previous two nights. Going over our plans in more detail, we agreed that as much as we might have in common and if the spark is there, that when we meet that we will likely move directly to exclusive dating.(yes we had talked about the fact that this is only the third day and we are still dumbfounded) We continue to talk for about seven hours till I verbally tucked Her into bed for the night.

I have already started making plans for our official first date in the first part of June. She had expressed an interest in taking Latin dance lessons; I thought this might be a good thing to learn myself and being somewhat of a romantic at heart, I set up the first part of the date with an Introduction to Latin Dance followed by an Upper Class Casual Dinner.

--
So... I was thinking, I am going to pull myself off the list of men "Looking to Date" and shift to "Looking for Friendship", if all goes as She and I hope there will be sparks and the beginning of a very special relationship of Best Friends.


**Before anyone asks, the forth day is still happening as of the time of this Post. I intentionally left out Her name and several details as She is a member of Mingle and I respect Her privacy. If She wishes to jump on the mountain and proclaim what I have, it will be up to Her to reveal

Thanks for taking a look and for being so nice about it.



Ironic that you posted those very words, I am laughing so hard right now my abdomen hurts.
I read your profile a little while ago in "perv mode", NOT to tired to read today... rofl

Haha, I almost forgot about this... I was 17 and met this girl in a restaurant(she was a waitress). Over the course of a few weeks we had been getting to that "point".

We were in bed after a party, making out, I had quite a bit to drink. She said something which I do not remember and I reply "I think you'd be sexier if you had less on"
She shot out of bed and stormed out exclaiming "MEN!"


Sometimes it is better to just keep your mouth shut.


Well maybe this might not have been all that romantic, but I learned.
