Been meeting and greeting for almost a year and have to say, very bored and discouraged with the hidden agendas of those I've met...is it so hard to be honest, (with kindness)...so tired of the BS, say what you mean and mean what you say. You cannot make everyone happy, at least if you are honest it saves so much wasted time...and who knows it might help improve a person.

These are just my random thought of the internet dating thing...thanks for any comments, negative or positive. Gail

Some people like to lie, but thankfully, not all of them do. Good luck in the future.

It seems that so much time is wasted in not being truthful..I've all but given up on finding an ideal match, or even a good friend...

I look at things quite simply....(not my words, but they do fit)
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

Welcome!

welcome to the site...

Well, online dating has similarities to dating into real life... and those difference in online dating you have to use for your advantage.

Such as taking the time to get to know the person.... see exactly what they are saying... believe someone when they tell you who they are.... and if there is inconsistancy in this, see it for what it is... Don't make excuses for them.

And there is no 'true' relationship until you meet in person and see if there is chemistry and all other aspects of a relationship... is communication in person good, does body language match what you thought ... etc.

Take all the negative experiences you have had with online dating and learn from them!

Always be sure to just use online dating as a supplement to real life dating.... be sure to do things that you like... take up a new hobby where you can meet people!

Best wishes!

Excellent advice, Tanya!

Thank you...I hope it made sense... cause I have no focus right now!

Made sense to me.

Hummmmmmm know the feeling have finally decided I'm only meeting those that are local. And the way I see if is the faster ya meet them the better. Tired of talking to them for a couple of weeks to find out they are full of it.

and do it good---this is where they flourish!

Been there--done that!


Met someone on here who was totaly fake--Hes loooong gone!

But

gave me internet experience!

New to this site and find it rather fun. The posts are interesting as well as pictures. I am married and find this exciting. You picture is cute as im sure you are. I f ever interested please email me thanks.

I find that I meet people who have lied or are not sincere that I usually didn't go with my gut or first instincts about someone.

I get to know as much as possible about someone through chat and a quick coffee of 30 minutes and NEVER expect anything.

You can't be disappointed if you just meet for coffee and have no expectations.

Everyone does not lie.

I have met and dated sincere non liars..they still weren't for me.
No guarantees. Just keep an open heart and mind.
Go with your basic instincts.

Good luck to you..

Oh and honesty goes both ways 59 is really pushing the 50ish thing don't you think?
