twenty bucks says you don't




(just kidding)

Some people post right here on Mingle the problems they have had because they erroneously believed they had found the romantic partner of their dreams online only to find out later the person was not who they thought they were.
I think everyone needs to use caution off line as well as online. If you are way too careful you might miss someone good.

I think it's wise to be guarded.Normally you'll get an instinct, if the person your talking to is what your looking for...as for a relationship, or someone just playing you.

Not me...when he's in the same room as me I'll know. A pretty face on the screen doesn't do it...nice eye candy though.

Lonliness does strange things to people...they get confused when someone is interested in them and think thats the one.
Then...there is the opposite...having your guard up too much and that's just as confusing to another.

i beat it like it owes me money

YES!!!

Been there. Done that. Never again!!

Ya get all hooked up with the IDEA of being in love!!!

It's crazy!!!

I think we do...but I don't know how do to it any different..There is

nothing better than romance.......

I think you can tell too much because if a person gets hooked on the easy on line attention they may never move to and in person relationship.

Most the time someone has to tell everything is they think sooner or later you are going to reject them and trying to avoid it being in person.

Or they are really not into the dating thing and trying to weed out as many unsuitable partners as possible.

I personally hate argueing with someone who is interested in me but who I don't want to keep dating because of one or more things I learn about them through dating. Usually stuff they lied about on their profile or in initial dates.

seen it happen Its nuts Meet the person and say there in love after one weekend in bed and then say lets get married its dumb Get a grip people u dont know who that person is now do u

No, I think they don't share enough... I certainly have nothing to hide. If you hide who you are, and what your about from others, it's hard to even become friends.
No comment on the romance thing... marriage is grounds for divorce.

insanity can only be restrained for so long lol

I think desperate ones are. Its always best to be friends first before anything else or just someone to date?

"Just someone to date." Is the last thing I am interested in. I have friends and family to enjoy for companionship. I want to meet someone who has the potential for more. At a "mature" age I have a pretty good idea what will and will not work in a relationship with me.

Mirror, this doesn't just happen online. I used to do it and I see women do it every day. Our imagination makes little things said and actions into more than what they really are, causing people to then act as though it is now a full blown known each other all their lives relationship and sadly they find out after investing far too much too soon that they did not know each other at all.

I tell them all the time, ssssslllllllooooooowwwwwwww dddddddddoooooooowwwwwwwwwnnnnnn, if he is in a rush you don't want him anyway and if he leaves you because you move too slow he didn't really want you anyway.

Take your time and get to know someone. It takes at least a year to know someone a little well. We need to set time limits like that. Instead of month or so of knowing each other and we live together.
