I think any online community is essentially the same. I personally love social situations and that is part of why I enjoy the forums here. I belong to other online communities as well, not to find a date but to meet new people. I have met a lot of people. One of my closest friends is a woman I met on Sisterwoman,com We actually do get together in real life although our friendship started online. It has been about 6 years now. She is on my face book.


Answer this, are you more inclined to add a person of the same sex to your Facebook than the opposite sex? I know many of you minglers have added each other on Facebook. Are they same sex friends only?

I agree with this.

I have lots of Mingle forum friends on my Facebook. If something goes wrong you can just delete them.

So not gonna happen... who wants to have 2 facebook pages?

I think there is a big difference because facebook is much more detailed, with much more references to people who know you , where you live, where you went to school,,etc,,, plus people probably speak more openly on their OWN Facebook page than in these social forums where most dont even participate in these threads and are in mixed company when they do,,,

Marriage shows true commitment, regardless of virtue, I wouldn't want to be in a long term relationship with someone who always has one foot out the door ready to escape. In my own opinion people do not get married for that reason, they feel "just in case" they won't have to worry about the hassles of divorce and they can just part ways. This is like saying they don't have total faith in the relationship and are ready to split at the first sign of conflict rather than working together to stay together.

To me, i'd say it all depends on how you've managed your FB Account. If there is anything you think you don't want the world to see in the first place, DON'T put it up on Facebook, Linkedin or any other networking site!
Though with proper management of your privacy settings, you can decide on who sees what! And if you're observant enough, you can decide who see what, using the dropdown button by the Post box. :-)
To me, these are my online faces to the world, and so, if there is anything that i feel is private, it wouldn't be out there in the first place :-) But if you feel you have some really private stuff you aren't ready to share with ur new found friend, don't add them on FB until you get to know each other better! If they are for real, they'd be understanding with ur point of view. :-) If i intend getting serious with you, i'd take all d time in the world to win ur confidence to the point you wouldn't have anything to fear with sharing ur private stuff with me :-)

I say who cares, it's a good way to see who they are and you can block them at anytime. Facebook and mingle are no different in my opinion. Unless you are some really fake person on here and you are hiding your true identiy.

Yes to the first part. Just a warning, saying that is like a death wish. Especially if you're a trusting fool.

I've been googled and stalked on facebook a few times so nay for me. Too much private info on there to be seen before actually meeting.

I friended a guy on Facebook before going on a date. I didn't see the big deal of it personally as its not like I would put anything incriminating on there about myself. I also do delete older timelines so he would only see the present timelines anyways.

Would you ever kiss someone the first date?

Hey all . I'm new to mingle2 . And I'm looking for friends and possibly someone to make my own . I need help figuring this out . Lol . Help me please
