I think when someone starts cheating, they want the relationship to end at that point. you can either go to therapy, or break up/divorce. if y'all choose to just tough it out, there's a chance they won't cheat again. there's also a chance they just won't get caught again.

well, with point 1 I have to disagree. I've gotten some good advice here. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area and getting any advice is highly appreciated, although that doesn't mean I'll change anything about myself purely because of someone else's opinion. As for point 2, you're very right and sometimes it's easy to forget that. There are too many scammers online to just go out and trust that someone is even real until you've met them in person.

In all honesty, dating apps like this may just not be for me. I'm a gamer, and I haven't met any real gamer girls around here yet. The women I have chatted with don't seem to hold the same interests and that's leading to a lot of really forced conversation. I don't like feeling like I have to lead someone through a conversation just in order to have a conversation. Maybe this is a broader issue with my personality and thought processes that could keep me from dating at all, but I really don't know. I don't have much experience in this area, and the experience I do have was from a whole different time. It used to be really easy to date online, and I was too young to be doing it at that time. It didn't stop me but I think it messed up my thought process in this area. Getting any advice from someone that knows more than me about dating helps me at least adjust how I approach trying to start a conversation and work towards a committed relationship eventually.

I actually do listen a lot, it just seems like with dating sites that there's a certain amount of expected chatter. I'm really bad at it since I almost never talk in real life or I won't shut up when I'm really passionate about something xD. So far everyone I've messaged with on here give an answer and ask a question. at some point I'm just wondering at what point we should just be relaxing and talking, but maybe my interests don't run in with a lot of people on here.

this is a pick-up line I used on a 19 year old when I was 16, and it freaking worked. "we're the only ones left in the world. looks like we'll have to repopulate"

thank you ^^ I'll check that out

I've found a few that have started talking to me, then I feel like all I'm doing is asking about them. I know there should be some back and forth, but I really don't know what I'm doing xD

I'm sure the title is enough to show my inexperience in this area xD the only time I've dated up until now was a decade ago, and that relationship was started online in a video game so I knew what to talk about. I'm realizing now that I really don't know how to start a conversation on a site like this. is it as simple as just talking about what you want? what do you talk about next? I don't want to be the guy that talks about himself all the time, but I just don't know how to keep a conversation going with some basic information. I don't know if I should be asking about all of her hobbies (seems like this could get annoying, yeah?) or if I should talk about mine (equally annoying?) lol please help! I don't know what I'm doing in this part of my life ^^;

hello! welcome to Mingle! good luck! ^^

Really? What kind of response are women wanting? Those one liners were real?!

I'm wondering the same thing. Where's the upvote button? Lol

Hi y'all! I don't know what else to say xD

To not be alone. Going through this crazy world with someone else seems worthwhile to know it's not just you that has feelings. Someone that picks you up and has some control over you to keep you from being a complete moron. Also breakfast. A little more out of life and hopefully the chance to add a bit more to another. Good food is good too.
