J-just M-my H-Humble O-opinion Dude, no one actually meets on dating sites, that's just what they say in the ads. The real truth is, this place is filled with the heartbroken and jaded. There's a nice combo for finding "the right one." Look, if your honest you stand a slim chance, if your dishonest you stand no chance. The fear of the internet (not just dating sites, but all of it) is that there is nothing "real" on it. Eveyone is out to steal your identity, or cheat you or scam you. If your getting something from the internet it's probably just a virus waiting to download your credit card info. The level of trust that a person has to build on a site like this or any other is huge. Much larger than someone you'd meet on the street. For an honest man, that is willing to take his time in getting to know someone, the internet isn't even an option. Sorry, people associate computers with "quick" and there are no "quick fixes" in the love department. Good luck man. Wow I totally disagree with you but then hey my opinion and your opinion is to each our own. I have known those that have meet the love of their life on the internet and in no way was it a quick fix. It took many e-mails phone calls trips ect to get to know them. In life there are no quick fixes for anything. If one is looking for a quick fix it will only last a short time whether it be by internet or in person. You see life is what we make it we must take the down falls along with finding cloud 9. It has it's ups and downs and if you're lucking you will find that happy middle. But to say it can never happen is so wrong. One never knows what is around the next corner in life. I myself have meet some off of this site we ended as friends only but who is to say that I want find someone. If one always looks for the negative in life that is what you shall find.

I myself have meet some off of this site we ended as friends only but who is to say that I want find someone. If one always looks for the negative in life that is what you shall find. Oh don't get me wrong, I like the roller-coaster ride that is life (Don't you just love that analogy - yeah I stole it from the movie "Parenthood"). What good are the ups if there are no downs. Is there a possiblility of meeting someone here, sure. Is it more likely than running into someone walking down the street, no. It seems to me (this is just based on how the internet has treated me, and your experience might be different) that patience is in short supply around here (meaning internet as a whole and not just JSH/M2). I'm not willing to drive 1000 miles to meet someone I talked too in only 6 or 7 emails. I am willing to drive that far just to have dinner with someone, but I'd like to know them a little before shelling out several hundred for gas (or a plane ticket). However, I'm a guy, and as far as I can tell if a male is timid in any way about meeting a woman, it's over. You don't stand a chance if you say "I'm not quite ready yet," and your a man. I like coming here, and enjoy chatting with a lot of people. I even pretend to myself that some of the people I talk with might actually enjoy the conversations. You see, I still actually have hope that maybe, I might meet someone from here some day. Ain't gonna hold my breath, but I still believe. And it's the belief that's the most important, because if you give that up, your done. |

Let me guess.... Psych major? Who me? No my major is accounting. I just enjoy analysis of any kind, but especially with numbers and mathematics. I like accounting because it's business math. I love numbers as well but having done accounting for 5 years I can tell you its a tad on the boring side. I would lean more towards the business side if at all possible.

D@mn you mean to tell me I get to be ignored and bullied again? I am not going to help anyone with the tests though. I learned my lesson in high school, letting the hot chick cheat off you in class will not get you a date!!  Oh no. Don't play that card. I will tell you something...I was so unpopular because I attended 4 different highschools. No chance to establish any type of "pedigree" or popularity. I WAS the hot chick letting the entire senior class cheat off my paper. If any of those guys even knew how much I was pining for them, well maybe they would have said 'hello' to me. Instead I graduated 6 mos early and never got to know the guys who might have liked to date me. That is right I think you should understand that in my senior year I only spent half a year with those people and not one person signed my year book. Just like this place. I am done crying now. |

The dynamics of meeting people online are too complicated to put into words anyways... I just tried to brush the surface in this thread. |

I will, I plan on becoming a CA or CPA in the U.S. I know straight accounting is miserable. What I want to do is be a director of finance of some sort. Thanks for your advice

Why does dating have to be a game in the first place? It doesn't have to be, actually it shouldn't be at all... that's the point of my post. |

I just tried to brush the surface in this thread. ok, I will not say anymore. You live and you learn, you judge and you concede and above all, you always think that you are right. |

And it's the belief that's the most important, because if you give that up, your done. Well now see you have some pretty good points there as well. I would not drive a 1000 miles or more to meet for dinner either. And before I hop on a plane I do want to know them better. But that takes patience as well as many e-mails, phone calls ect... And most of all it takes two people willing to take that time and to be honest with each other as well. Just because this is the internet we still must never forget that there is another human being sitting behind a screen reading and taking in our words as well. If we seek Respect & Honesty from another we must learn to give it as well. One never knows what might happen but... one must never forget where you are and safety comes first. As it has been told anyone can be anyone they want to online but Reality will sooner or later catch up with them. |
