Shadow buddy, feel better after that rant? lol

I agree with you. You have one of two choices. Be alone for the rest of your life while sitting back wondering "what if". Or step up to the plate. Of course it's a risk just like anything else. But wouldn't you rather risk getting hurt for a chance at happiness? Absolutely!

I'm not afraid to tell guys when I like them... rejection sucks, but not knowing if they do or don't feel the same pains me even more... especially if it wastes time we could be together!

Afraid to tell somone they like them and lets keep this simple. It's just a topicsmile2




I know i brang this up before and i know what some of you are going to say, afraid of my feelings getting hurt, might lose a friend etc etc. I alway see the who has a crush thread and alot of people say i have one. Well, what the hell! tell them and stop being such a chicken. Life is to short and waiting around is never going to get anyone anyware. I hear all the time the same people saying they can't find anyone but at the same time there afraid to let somone know they like them. Onece again ill hear, i'm afraid to lose a friend. Well guess what people. If you lose that friend over somthing like that. There not your friend.....



Ok ok, lets here itlaugh laugh laugh
Hi The Shadow.
I totally agree with you. Take for example the stealth mode here on mingle2. A stealth mode???
Why???
The stealth stops you appearing on others list of views. If you took the time out to go on stealth to check someone out, then to do that you must be a little interested in them in the first place but yet you remain unknown to that person and probably will!!!!!
Weird!!!

Are we all too Shy???

Hell, I don't know. It is a dating site are we not supposed to take a chance of telling people we like them. That was the impression I was under.
Maybe I am wrong!!!!

Hello AtariBaby

I agree with you, so far two of you said it and i din't look at it that way. We joined a datting site. That was the first step and most have sent emails to somone they might of been interested in, that was the second step. Whats wrong with going all the way? nothing, they got that far, so fear couldn't be all that is going on, but at the same time what ever it is. Do somthing about it. Why wast time on here hoping and your looking for someone to be with. I know there are a few people on here that are just looking for friends to chat with to pass time, but this is for the ones that took two steps in the first place.

To be honest Theshadow, I think the problem on the site here is that we are all deluding ourselves by the attitude of "Hold out someone better might come along".
Just my opinion.

My last post for the night. I would say most are looking for somthing better to come along. To me though, why? this is if you have somone that your interested right now. I'm going to be 38 this next month on the 4th. I'm not that old, but at the same time. i'm not getting any younger and i will not be one of there people when i'm up in my later years, going what happen. I'm not looking for whats better. i'm looking for what will make me happy and what i mean by that is, i'm not looking for the perfect body etc etc. i'm looking for somone that i'm interested in that can be honest with themselves and what they do in there life.

Hummmmmm you know your right to a point but then one should never settle either and be with someone in order to fill that void. We all have expectations of what we want in a partner. We must make sure our expectations are not beyond reality.

For in the long run I would rather be alone then be with someone and be lonely.bigsmile

Hello
I have just come back to this site after being gone for several months ok more like 8 months because most of the stuff I read on the boards lead me to believe this site was more of a "Chat" site then a "Dating" site and from the lack of response to messages sent to "mutual matches" I believed it, now I see more posts say this is a dating site but if you are looking for a date don't you have to take action?? I mean you cant find a date on the freeway looking in the windows of other cars you have to actually talk to people and let them know you are interested. I say if your interested tell them if they are not interested they should have the guts to say the same I would rather be told I am not someones "type" then to never know or be ignored after letting my interest be hung out in the open.

Just my 2 cents

Your right, this has become more of a chat room then anything and i'm the same why, i rather be told and move on. See it's happen to me that a couple women said they were interested and i wasn't, but i never pushed the friendship away. I talked it out. I think it's chicken chit when people push some good hearted people away as a friend because they took a chance. Them kinda people i don't need in my life and i don't care who it is on this forum....

I totally agree with you Mike. Why not take a chance?

Does anyone ever get the most out of life if they are not willing to take chances? IMHO, I don't think they can

Now see? This is the kind of silly advice that gives people (ya know the ones - no photo, headline says "Looking for Mrs. Older" or something equally sauve) the green light to IM me out of thin air and in the second sentence tell me they want to marry me! Quit laughing, it happened to me last night! surprised

PLEASE stop telling people to express their feelings! slaphead

This has been one of the best topics I've read in a long time. And I believe that if you are honest and don't hide behind fear of rejection, distance and how much it will cost to meet someone, you are not really interested in a relationship. Be honest with yourself and let the person know you are interested. Confidence is easy if you believe in yourself and what you are saying. If they don't feel the same way, so what. At least you were honest and hoped they felt the same. Don't write in here daily how lonely and depressed you are.Because you never hear from any one. Take the first step and just be you. Call em like you see em. Try it, you may be surprised at the outcome. And good luck in your searches.

Shadow I think you may have given some a slaphead
