Hello and welcome to the forums :)

Hello & welcome!

I've only met one exception to that rule, lol, but otherwise I agree totally. I'm only willing to tug a few times as far as conversation goes - if I get one line responses more than that, I tell them thanks but no thanks and move on :)

I disagree on the less is more idea. I prefer profiles that give me at least a glimpse of the person's likes and interests. Otherwise, I have no idea whether or not I want to open a dialog with them. I also figure that if someone can't be bothered to take the time to read a few paragraphs, they're most likely not someone I wish to speak to anyway.

Sorry, green eyes here

I was testing this, and if I googled my screen name, the system did require me to sign in before I could see my profile. So, I believe that the content is "exclusive" to mingle2.

Bah. If a guy has no interest in me, I cut my losses and walk away, lol. I lack the creativity needed for mind games, and don't feign hard to get. *shrug* I figure if he's not interested, I'm best served finding someone who is :)

Everything you do - and I do mean everything - affects your kids. It is hard to go through what you're going through, but if you move a replacement guy in, your kids have to deal with the fallout when it happens (and it will happen). You need to take a step back, breathe, and put it into perspective. Yes, it sucks to be alone, but it's far worse to put them through a cycle of different "father figures".

A friend of mine has a saying "you lose them as you got them". I can't say that I know exactly what was going through her head, but it sounds like the two of you got together before her marriage was truly over. She didn't take the time to heal, to put the previous relationship away, just moved right into one with you. Then when things appeared to be getting serious with the two of you, she moved on to another. Her pattern will most likely repeat throughout her life, unless something drastic happens.

It's sad, but there are people who would rather jump from relationship to relationship rather than deal with their own issues. I'm sorry you had to encounter someone like that, and hope that your next relationship is with someone more stable.

I'll send you my house guest. He'd drive you to scratch your own eyes out in sheer frustration, lol.

I drove 18 hours to hang out with a couple of people I met online. Not for a hook up, but as a friends thing.

I think it would depend on how much we clicked, and how interested I was in meeting them :)

I do that all the time, lol (kill threads, I mean). I'm considering going pro!

Indiana has threads, but somehow they end up being "where are all the gentleman", "why aren't there any nice ladies", "shout out if you're near...."

I'm going to choose not to take offense, lol. Born n raised in WI, only been in Indiana three years.

But it's ok - my ego can take it :p

I've never even looked at twitter. I don't know anyone who cares enough about what I'm doing to want to-the-minute updates, lol.

No, because I think my first true love was more my being in love with the idea of being in love, if that makes sense? I was young and inexperienced and didn't know what real love was, so I'll leave it back where it belongs :)

Actually, wireless networks have come amazingly far in the area of security. Demand is so high for wireless that companies have thrown tons of money at developing better components, and that has resulted in the wireless having a few small advantages over traditional networks security wise. If the bank's IT people know their stuff, you're as secure (or slightly more so) as you would be if they were on a traditional wired network.

This is a mix of true and false information, see snopes post:
