You've been out of a bad relationship for several months, been entertained by the forums on mingle since even before then, feeling all at a loss that you will ever find that one, and are just about to give up the search when you are stumbling around on the Who's Online page or someone really wonderful that you have never talked to or seen online before sends you an email....

After sending emails and talking to them for a while, the two of you agree to meet and things are so wonderful. You have found your one...

Is this possible or not? What are the odds of this happening? Is it even likely? Just wanted to know some thoughts on it from all you minglers out there...

Sure it can happen

Hope it happens to me!!!

I don't have that kind of luck, but I'm sure it could and does happen

*Sigh*

Sure it is possible. If you dont put yourself out there to be caught and go fishing yourself nothing will happen. If you work at it things will fall in the right place at the RIGHT TIME..

Thanks Ella, I wish I could be that optimistic all the time!

Ofcourse it's possible. Just don't ask for my advice unless you want to totally screw it up. Now that, I'm realy good at.

I'm sure you're not a bad advice giver shoesmonkey!

It's possible, sure. In the same way it's possible to get struck by a friendly meteor that turns out to be nothing more than a chocolate shell filled with money.

I mean, there's nothing inherent in the laws of physics that strictly precludes this from happening.

However, it is, shall we say, highly unlikely.

On the other hand, I know people who found "the one" on this very site.

I think it probably helps if what you're looking for actually exists, though.....

Sugar I aint even like that all the time.. but hey if 'we' aren't who will be for us!? Right. Got to think there is faith and fate.. He he..

LEX!!! Hey, buddy!!! Well let me see....great, kind, honest, Godly gentleman guy who isn't into cheating, would love me for me, be my best friend, someone who will encourage my dreams and who I can be myself around....hmmmm I see your point....wow, I never thought I was asking for too much...maybe I am...although I have met a couple of really awesome guys who fit this description--it just didn't work out

I have to go along with you there -- I never really thought what I was looking for was so totally outrageous and impossible -- and yet, it turns out that it is.

Out of everyone I've been involved with, I've only found one who fit the description -- and she had other issues -- but it makes you wonder when you read post after post after post from people complaining "Why can't I find someone who is ________?" (fill in the blank) and the site is just FULL of people who are __________ (fill in the blank with the same word).

But then they're not interested because maybe the prospects aren't ________ enough? Or TOO _______?

Or maybe they really don't have a clue about what it is they want in the first place.

So they make something up (or use language stolen from everyone else's profile) in order to avoid looking "indecisive" -- ??

Wow....scary thought....good point though....well, I'm one of the true ones...I admit in my profile that I don't have it all figured out...really how can you? And who can??

Experience as a teacher...meh. Can happen, seems to happen to others...experience...never happened to me.

don't talk crap lass

I think this is what were mostly hoping here...

It's possible. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in them before meeting in person though. It's a lot easier to get along with and like somebody for their words online than in real life.

Well noted....just like to find that connection and that one is all...well, actually I don't want to find him...I want him to find me, so to speak....

DAW, it is absolutely possible. All wounded hearts are searching for the same thing. And when it finally does happen, it will be magical.

Anything is possible hummmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I will get lucky one day. Am I gonna hold my breath hummmmmmmmmmmmmm nope I don't look good blue........

But as far as given up naw I just don't make it my priority on my list to find when it happens it will happen.
