I have been on several dating sites for a while now and haven't had a
real date yet. Is it me or do people just use these to chat?

iv'e hit the same thing with those sites im so tired of talkin arn't
there any gals that would like a honest,romantic guy,good conversation
and a free dinner anymore ????

luvtorn and carebear, I couldn't agree more. I don't need to be here
just to chat. I've got friends for that. I do believe that most women
ARE on here only to chat. Or maybe they're in a relationship right now
and are using this site to "test the waters", and see if the grass is
greener on the other side. No one, especially me, likes to waste their
time, and I get the feeling I'm doing exactly that here. It's really a
shame that honest guys like myself who are looking for someone to spend
the rest of their life with has to waste all his time dealing with
fakes, con artists, weirdos, and gameplayers. These dating sites seem to
be a haven for "bored housewives". If that description fits any of you
ladies, please stick to your soaps(and your husbands), and leave dating
sites like this one to people like me who are truly sincere.

this site has obviously worked for several obviously
lucky couples - and also some "near misses" so to speak -
this then is a tribute to them:

may you all find your true loves and have a
BLAST doing it

Been my experience too. The few that I have met on sites like this were
either married or not honest in anyway. I think that this site is better
than the rest though. For one you don't have to pay a dime for finding
out that no one will give you the courtesy of responding to messages you
leave them. Even if I leave the site without finding that someone
special at least I know the people I have met on here can still be
friends.

knoxman I think you have something there. Ladies don't get me wrong I
like to chat just would be nice if it went somewhere once in a while.
Love you ladies !

Yes it would be nice to at least meet somebody sometime, even if its not
a good fit it could be a nice evening.

well as for me, i have to say yes they work. I came on here not just to
chat, but to find someone and I did. So there is hope for that if it is
what you are looking for. You just have to work at it until you find
someone that wants the same thing you do. Good luck

I agree that this is a wonderful site. I'm happy to be here, and have no
plans to leave. I just think it's a shame that people who aren't honest
and sincere make things tough for those of us who are.

no

no what?????

luvtorun,

"i predict many dinner dates in your immediate future"

My best wishes to you wonderful guys, there is somebody out there for
you, just keep trying. I found someone on here, but we haven't met yet,
and I too would like to go out, if only he were closer in distance, but
some things are worth the wait, just have to be patient. Like they say,
"Good things come to those who wait". Right? If I wasn't semi-committed
in a relationshiop right now, I would date somebody else. I want to go
out and have a nice dinner and enjoy an evening too. It is a bummer
having to just wait and wait and wait. Other sites I was on, I went out
with a few, but guess we just weren't meant to be, but wasn't my fault.
Had a real nice time, but I still wanted to be friends, but some are too
busy working or whatever and don't have the time for a relationship, so
I am moving on. I hope they find somebody too. One of them has told me
he would never find anybody, and I told him someday he will. He has
given up. I thought we hit it off, but he just kind of dumped me and now
I found out he didn't think I was interested. Huh, go figure. I thought
the guy was supposed to make the first move. RIGHT GUYS? I thought so.
According to him, he was waiting on me to make the first move after he
said he kept hinting around. Well, he is the one that said he didn't
think we were ready to take another step, we never held hands or kissed
after going out a few times, but I did give him a hug bye once, so I am
thinking He Is the one that wasn't interested. What do you guys think?
I am an affectionate person, love to hug etc. but when you act like a
stick in the mud when I hug you, that sends a message to me that you
don't care. I am glad to find somebody that is affectionate and really
into wanting to show me how they really feel.
I hope you guys find that in somebody real soon. ttyl

FUN

i hope this dating site works, i'm tired of feeling lonely all the time.
yes, i have my kids to keep me company, but they cant give me the kind
of companionship i need.

May be we get good tips and trick on dating?

:)

Sure it does work if you find an interesting person that you connect
with and start out as friends. I've met and dated women from online and
I am still friends with some of them. I wish you the best in finding
that special someone.
