I think the fact that a lot of couples arent totally honest and true to themselves at the online stage is why many dont work out. If both people really do show their true selfs before the meeting takes place, the success rate would be higher.





For a person with his fingers up his nose you sure got it right. :thumbsup:


He's massaging the brain. Once in while he touches that spot that makes him say something intelligent. It's rare though :wink: :wink:


Thank you so much for setting that straight for me. slaphead

I think i am meaning things like being truthful to oneself that the person you are talking to is the right kind of person for you.

And other stuff, i still cant explain it.

Im not talking about the things you definately should be truthful about, like how you look, what you do for a living etc



lmfao. you NEVEr know if the persons right though, escpecially not while youre online, you might get a feeling but you can never be sure or unsure. its a gamble which is why this doesnt work too often, no one wants to travel outside 50 miles for love, lol.


The guy I was dating from here lied to me. It said he was 35 on his profile and he eventually confessed he was really 43.

True, but you can increase your odds a little. If you keep it just online, things are very tough i think. But if you take things to the phone as well, its a whole new level. Speak to someone everyday for hours on end for a couple of months and you will have a pretty good idea, providing everything is kept fully honest of course.

I don't know if they are talking about anyone special on here or not...but I think the problem with meeting someone on the internet is this~~when you first start talking to someone online, you think every thing is great!! But in all honesty, you don't know this person. They only tell you what they want you to know!! They forget to tell you the little annoying things about themselves like..oh I eat with my mouth wide open or I lay around on the couch A LOT!! Sure its easy to sound so wonderful to each other on the phone or in an email BUT when it comes to being in person...you can't lie anymore because its right there in your face!!!
This is why I won't ever meet anyone and expect to fall in love again from the internet. HMM I already went to New Zealand and traveled 9000 miles thinking I met the right one, I guess I should have known better :wink:

If someone is willing to lie about that they would be willing to lie absolutely anything.

There's always hope! The prince finally found the fit for the glass slipper! Beauty finally fell in love with the beast! And Rocky did beat the big Russian guy.

they were sooooooo in love!!!
and for whatever personnal reasons it didnt work out for them......

has this changed your perspective on meeting someone now???



Not at all, cuz honestly I take it all with a grain of salt. I don't rest my future on someone else's love life (or death).

Until you meet in person and even then give it some time to settle after you go back to your locations, there's no guarantees. It's truly a crap shoot.

IT'S THE INTERNET! And life.

It's one of the reasons I wouldn't plaster the 'journey' for all to see, but to each his own..it just makes it so much harder if it doesn't work out.

Then you have to answer everyone's questions. But some people like to share their daily loves and enjoy the moral support and group *hugs* they get from sharing.

If it works for them great. Problem is all the 'supporters' get so caught up in the journey they forget these people haven't even MET yet & whether they like it or not, there's a big chance it won't survive the 'in person' connection. :wink:

everyone brings up very valid points.....
BTW...this was done in general.
any similarities to an actual couple were merely coincedental...

I often advise people to keep their personal business out of the forums. When i first got together with Lisa we let people know about us but that was about it. I had already seen too many couples fail embarrasingly to give too much away in the threads.

Thanks but it's a good attitude only because I just don't jump on the bandwagon. Not tryin to be a party pooper, but I've seen wayyyyyyyyyyyy too many of these go downhill.

Like Dan said, the biggest blowups are the forum ones. And everyone buys into it.

I am so not into drama. Even the happy sappy drama.

Beat me til I die if you like but that's me. Nothing personal to anyone and like I said some people really DO like that. It's support 101. I've never needed support to do anything in life. I'm Type A just do it. :wink:
