I often wonder...... Has anyone met any one or gotten replies because they post here? I know it is true. Just want others here to chime in with their opinions. I have just had thoughts going back and forth and just wanted to mention it also.

I have gone on dates from people i met here. Which is funny, i met a few guys on another site and we had dates set but they never panned out. That site charges too. I come to the forums and mingle with out of staters. But use the search to find other people who may not hang out in here but are also local and looking for a good catch. I met one guy here and went on several dates but in the end, he just had mannerisms that to me were quite dull. Different personalities I guess you could say. Another -BORING CONVO- and so on and so on. Still have met some solid friends too that i havent dated but we definitely enjoy hanging out on a platonic level and i think it is great. I know it will take time before i meet the RIGHT guy again.

the only ones that i'm interested in live Lex miles away,for those not sure what a Lex miles equals to it's 897,000 miles.

i have gotten some but it's either what i stated above or i'm not interested

well yay, most the good catches are miles away, only because those are the ones that i meet here and love chatting with.

But have you used the search to find anyone else? I'm always keeping an eye out too when I am out in public. Guys admire a strong beautiful mother.

f**k i have no idea why a quoted you ...oooops

I've personally beed contacted by men all over the world. No real dates. A few in my state but the opposite end, and they only want a booty call NOT a relationship, or just dating. So I use the search to look local. I have made some really fabulous friends on here. And found a few to "pass the time" on the ocmputer, But nothing real yet. But then again I've only been here a few months. So i hang out, make friends and just enjoy the comraderie of the forums.

I get a lot of e-mail here, and much of it is related to things I've posted in the forums. Otherwise, it's usually about my profile, or about my books.

My impression is that posting in the forums gives you a chance to be "known" (albeit in the limited, "on-the-monitor-screen" way). And I think people are more comfortable about contacting someone they feel as if they know.

I have not met anyone from this site, though. This is partly because (as mentioned above!) everyone is 897,000 miles away from me. Also, I think, because I'm not really looking for a standard, traditional, society-inertial-expectation kind of relationship, and most people don't want to wander outside of that particular "box."

I snub alot people i met here j/k

depends on the situation really

when i use to e-date i've had alot success on other sites

never had anyone close on this site...and not like i live in BFE either

I am aware of all the searches and all of that. My idea was a thread where people could share their experiences and insight. I like to think that people are open to discussions and such. It is just another way to "know" some one. I am only seeking opinions to a thought process I had going on.

And not only that.... I am "freakin new guy" (smile).

You are right. Most of the catches are far away. It does have a bit of wonder to it..... Like where were you most of my life...........

The people I have met in person are all people I've gotten to know because of the forums.

I got to have lunch with a really nice lady from SC I met on here. Sure, it was just lunch, but it was nice to meet someone in person. The 2100 mile difference kind of ruled out dating, but we're still friends.

I met my love here. We been living together for over 2 years. And i am thankful i found him. He is amazing and wonderful and treats me great and spoils me. So yep, it happens we were over 2700 miles apart. sometimes taking the chance works out. Now i am just here cause ppl make me laugh. and i u met really great friends here.

I have met a few from here and the continue to be friends to this day. There have been tons of relationships formed on this site, marriages, babies....just hang in there...it will happen....and the more you post and reply...the more often you are seen. Good luck

I dated a female from this site for like 3 months then she cheated on me. Besides that there was only one other person I became friends with on here that I did not know. The rest just chatted with and never tried to meet in real life. Not everyone you see is a perfect match

I met my best friend here its always good to meet people I met a few others from here all just friends I don't mind meeting any one new really mostly all the ones I wanna meet are really too far right now.

They don't have to be perfect matches to meet. I've met several people from here in real life. Most were friends.

Hummm I have met some on the forums as well as off the forums for dates..... as well as met those within the forums for friends.......So far the friendships have all worked out the dates well can't dish them for each was a experience of there own just did not go any farther...
