Let's face it, chances are the people we are interested in are most likely going to be hundreds of miles away from us. And personally speaking, I'd really like to get to know them through emails, chats, and phone calls (which will take time) before I go and spend all that time and money to go and see them, or them see me, whichever the case may be.

Ahem..I met one person and did the traveling "just sayin"

Anything worth having is worth fighting for. If that means travel, well hop a plane...An excuse is not an excuse.

As a single woman AND a single mom I have to jump in and say that yes I am here to meet someone special, however I am NOT going to just jump the gun and meet some guy right off the bat until I know what his views, morals, standards, and lifestyle is like. This requires getting to know more about him through IMs and emails etc.

Unfortunately, many men like yourself get impatient and wanna know why I don't want to just run and meet them ASAP. Sadly I hate being single and alone, however the last relationship I was in only lasted a couple months and I was hurt. I had my heart broken 8 months ago by my daughter's father who I was with for 9 years so I am learning to be a little more picky. You guys gotta remember specially for us mother's out there, our kids have already been through enough hell and we don't want to put them through anymore of it.

I am not going to risk my children's emotional stability nor am I going to risk not coming home to them. I figure if a man is willing to take the time to get to know me and wait awhile until I am comfortable to meet, then he is worth meeting. If he isn't willing to go at my pace then it probably wouldn't have worked out anyhow.

Im seriously trying to suck the white matter out from your frontal lobe region. What more do you want for free????

gaaaaaaaaaaaaawd men want EVERYTHING!!!!

im here to date, but canada is a long as* way from the southern texas

I am single, on here and would meet someone, but am careful about it. This world is full of unwell people careful is a good thing.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you do lawns????? and manicures???

OK! Let's get married!!!!


Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!! another mingle success!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me something I don't know! (although my redneck hails from the west)

You have much to learn, young padawan.

I am willing to meet people off this site or any other. Just seems they don't want to meet me LOL....

Silkie, you have your priorities absolutely right. It sound like your kid comes first, and dating cames somewhere after that. It's too bad that more people, with and without kids, can't understand that.

Of COURSE, a person's child should always come first. If they didn't, something's wrong. By the same token, when said child(ren) are "their life, their world," etc., then you have to wonder why someone is even entertaining the notion of finding a partner in the first place. Better off to put the idea aside for the next 18 years until the kids are grown and gone, because it pretty much equates to the same thing anyway.

I'll agree with you on this one. I basically didn't date while raising my kids because they were my first priority...even over myself. The youngest is about to leave the nest and it's a whole new ballgame.

Geez...I travel AND I am agreeing with you completely! I must be some kind of freak of nature! LOL!

You mean somebody admits I'm right??

Hell has, indeed, frozen over.
