In all honesty, I really think about 90% of the people on an Internet dating site are just here for kicks and entertainment and are not sincere about meeting somebody.


I agree completely -- and that's after almost ten years of using hundreds of sites.

I've met nine people in person from dating sites -- and eight of them turned out to be certifiable basket cases.

"Sincerity" is to "dating sites" as "nuclear research" is to "porcupine." In my experience, anyway.

I was going to mention that, but I forgot, good catch sharpshooter.




Hi Pete. I did mention in an earlier post that I wasn't talking about you. You have not asked to meet me after only one week and I didn't want anyone to think you did (because of our forum flirting) . You've been a perfect gentleman.

I mentioned that I would move in my profile because.....I live in a small town and I don't expect a man to give up his career to live where I do.

IMHO take your time. think


Ho choclablover...where have you been? How are you?

I've decided on a new policy. I am just going to have sex with every guy who sends me a message longer than 3 sentences.
I don't care where he travels from as long as he brings a condom (ribbed for my pleasure) and a Diet Dr. Pepper (and maybe some cookies).

Well, since you put it THAT way... I'll write FOUR sentences to get you really worked up.... I'll bring a whole case of ribbed and odd shaped condoms (some you're just gonna LOVE...... a 12-pack of Diet Dr. Pepper... and a whole BOX of cookies...

So, I get off at the Philly airport, and take the shuttle to where again?

Oh yeah that cool place with the lake...

Can I bring my mink massage gloves?

LOL...

The Egg Harbor New Jersey airport is closer. I actually live in a small New Jersey Town outside of Philly. Then you can go to the egg harbor train station and take the train to ...................beeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppp.

The lake is not cool it's nasty and has mean geese. I did have sex in the bottom of it once.


That's right....I am flirting with random guys in my thread because I am bored with the topic and I want a man.

If you meet a person from across town for a date and the date doesn't work it's no big deal.

Some guys who message me live too far away for dating so I say no to their offers. I am not big on web dating. I want to get to know the guy in real life.

I've had some guys offer to travel from across the country (or further) just for a date. I totally don't get this.

It's seems like too much pressure. If I decided I didn't feel any chemistry between us I would feel like I would have to stretch the date out just because he traveled so far. I would feel pressured to make the date work instead of just relaxing and being myself.

Would you accept a date from a guy you only talked to for a week on the web and who lived across the country or even further away? Lets say you really didn't know him well and you didn't even know if he is right for you.

The guys I am referring to I would go on a date with if they lived across town.

Thoughts?

It would depend on how much I want to go on a date with the person in question. I don't really see a point in setting a limit on the number of miles I'd drive.

I just don't want one of those relationships where you only have a date once a month when the guy is able to get time off from work and fly to meet you.

Thing is some of the long distance guys seem pretty nice and cool.

When I registered for this site I was expecting guys from Philly and Jersey to contact me. I wasn't expecting guys from all around the country and world to message me. I certainly was not expecting them to offer to come meet me.

I don't get it ......... my profile doesn't say much about me and my pictures don't show my boobs. There are lots of girls on this site prettier than me. Some are gorgeous. It just doesn't make sense to me why guys wouldn't meet girls closer to where they are instead of traveling to see some girl they don't know.

I could understand if I had talked to the guy for months in messages or forums.

edit
to make "sense" of "since"




When I signed up on here, I thought I might chat with more locals than I do. Instead, I ended up making friends with people all over the place. I don't really expect to meet someone local from this site, but who knows.

You have a nice profile. Now if you could just subtract about 15 years from your age I might consider you offer.
