waving Many of you don't know me. I have been a member for awhile but don't post in forums often.
I am on a few dating sites. Have been for a few years. I do have a life outside of cyberspace also,but this seemed like a good way to meet a gentleman who I would want to connect with,visa versa. I have met a few real men,we have met in person and I didn't feel it would go anywhere. So I know there are real,honest males on sites who are genuine.
Lately I get alot of nudges on this site,like 3 or 4 from a man,so I write,he just nudges again! Or some write seemed very interested in me,but as soon as I show that I would like to meet,they disappear.
Just wondered if anyone else has gone through this? Oh and the match with someone,I have had many match up and never write. I am honest sincere and want to make friends to last and would like to meet my future partner sad2 . Maybe I am taking dating sites too seriously?????

Sadly yes I think that they do. And those that do should know that they are playing with people's feelings.. but then I guess they have none in the first place.. frustrated

so, then my question would be...the thoughts you post, the posts that you post in support of a person, or their issues/feelings...

are they also pretend?

why do you pretend?

I can see keeping private information private and not sharing certain things...but to just be someone you are not? why bother?

you can play around and have fun and unwind without lying about what you stand for...what you believe in...ya know?

I could be wrong....

Well, yeah -- I get nudges from total strangers; just seems a little lazy to me -- if you have something to say, say it. Nudges from friends are fine, I've got an established dialogue going on there, but when it's someone I've never heard of before, it just makes me think they're trying to take shortcuts.


Oh and the match with someone,I have had many match up and never write. I am honest sincere and want to make friends to last and would like to meet my future partner sad2 . Maybe I am taking dating sites too seriously?????


I've never gotten anywhere with the matching thing, either -- in the end, I've found that the kind of person I'm looking for just doesn't use dating sites. And that's OK -- there are plenty of other reasons to stick around.

no the thoughts and well wishing I do is genuine..I really have come to like most of the people here..like I have said many times they helped me a lot the first two weeks when my son left and I would gladly so the same...and when the need arises I can be serious..but this is not a place to take so serious..Moonlight ride is just an alter ego if ya will...not really who I am..I am really a warm caring person not the smart mouth little tart I pretend to be...
