who is on this site to just throw all there options out everywhere they can to find love? and who beleives they will find true love on mingle? im skeptical but willing to take the small risk

Anything is possible. I would settle for a beer and some chicken wings.

Love can be found anywhere, stay hopeful!

I'm sure it's possible for some to find "true" love on here.

Interesting choice of reading materials in your profile... any recommendations for one as a gift for a male friend?

i am on here hoping for true love,will i find it thru a computer with strangers,doubtful but this site gives me hope and helps my ego to think i might

whatever happens, happens. until then I will have fun in the forums and talk to great people

It would be nice to meet "the one," here if necessary

Well .....talk to me sweets..........

I think I've finally realized that it's just not going to happen for me.



The kind of person I'm looking for just doesn't use dating sites. I'm reasonably certain that the kind of person I'm looking for became extinct a few years ago.

Please pardon me quoting myself..eventually I will get it right.

I feel very sad for you. You post a lot about what you had and lost. The more I read, the more I think I'm lucky to not know some things after all.

I agree with Rush

I'm still looking for the free donuts I was promised when I signed up. I haven't even gotten around to searching for "true love" yet.

Here or any online site highly doubtful. it only happens to a handful of people.

It's been three weeks since you were with the last girlfriend dude. You might just want to coast for a while and let it bite you when you're not expecting...

As for me, this is just one of many options.
I do not drink and only go to bars to play Poker. That alone sort of minimizes my potential in finding a woman.
I have only been in my new area for over a month. That makes it difficult since I am not from here and only have a small network so far.
I haven't paid for a site yet and that limits the possibilities.
Here's what's happened so far. This and two other sites...
6 potentials that I have chosen to not go any further with for different reasons. If I were to get discouraged, I would be admitting defeat or at the least, a lack of enthusiasm. Hate to say it but, finding your soulmate or however you should call it, just might take some work like anything else worth having...

Findin love is not my sole purpose for bein on this site. I enjoy the friends I've made an enjoy the forums. If I happen to meet the one that tickles my fancy, then all the better for me

It's one of the "mixed blessings" of being a writer -- writing becomes a sort of monolithic outlet -- but with something like my profile, as long and convoluted as it is, people either love it or basically run from it. And that's OK.



It is possible. I think it's astronomically unlikely; but I haven't done any formal surveys using statistically significant amounts of data. The odds are that if anyone like that IS using a dating site, it's a site I've never heard of, on the other side of this (or maybe even a different ) planet, and I will never know.

I tried to come up with some kind of suitable analogy to explain my position, but it's difficult to find one that really works.

Something like "Imagine winning a gold medal at the Olympics, and losing it; and then, for the rest of your life, the only things you ever win are those little plastic whistles that are the prizes in boxes of Cracker Jacks."

That's not a very good comparison (qualitatively, it works, but it's of dubious value as a frame of reference --) but maybe it conveys the general sense of where I'm trying to go with this....
