I gave up on the dating idea some time ago -- simple reality. There isn't anybody out there. But I love the site and the people, the friends I've made here and the conversations that go on here. I guess, in the end, there's more to life than dating....

I think your right but there has to be some one some where.


I don't think so. Nobody wants what I'm offering, and nobody is offering what I want....

By coming to forms evry day by passing the Dating site its self are we giving up on dating? are we taking a back set to the dating site area?.I feel like i have made some great friends here but i dont feel any closer to finding a mate some one to love,some one who's not 1000 miles away from me.We are all friends but we dont migle,so what are we doing?.



I suppose there are those who do both with great success.

I prefer the forums because I am not 'looking' for a partner at this time and I enjoy the conversation.

Are you asking what brought us to Mingle2? Or if your question is about why you can't find a woman you truly want, then obvious flirting with someone you actually want, may be the only way. As far as I know. Just make sure you make it obvious, or she might mistake you for just wanting a friendship.

Yes but thats where love starts or should start is by becoming friends,friends first then love covers over the top of it.This makes a strong relationship that should last a long time.

I am going for guys I know in real life through computer users groups and when school starts, school. I have already made great strides into the nerd universe. I am going to the Linux convention. I have my New York Jew two streets over who said he would come by after the holidays..........though I may not be here.

I would say the forums would be the place to find that connection......new people come on the site all the time.....with consistency that connection can be found.....it takes some years.....some do not look anymore....but that is a decision they make for themselves.....

It is hard to find from sites someone nearby. Sites such as Mingle can organise meet-ups of several people and thereby you can meet a few from the site in real life at a bar or whatever is arranged.

Unless you pay for a dating site where there are people whose goal it is to meet someone I think you may find it difficult as do lots of people.

It is best not to put all your eggs in one basket. It's a bit like someone sitting at home sending off lots of resumees for a job where there are lots of others going for the same job.

The best thing is to get off your chair and meet people in the real world not by walking into a bar or club but by joining societies, organisations etc., looking to make new friends of both genders and expand your social circle.


Just my honest opinion.

Good point - I naturally assume the men I talk to from here are just looking for friendship partly because I'm so much older but also because we all live so far apart. It should be easier than it has been for me to find a partner( as I've never had a problem wiht it before), but I'm more cautious now - for good reason. And in reading the threads I think many of us are on round 2 or 3 and just more cautious now - prolly with reason

I think when looking at all of the factors in the people we meet on the forums - knowing what the other person is looking for and their geographic location are key.

I like meeting people in the threads but it seems like the ones I end up talking to the most are not necessarily looking for the same things I am (which usually doesn't matter as they live across the country often so it's fine to just chat a bit). So I suppose it's possible to meet a partner in the threads, but so far for me it's just been friendsflowerforyou

there is both

there are some couples in the threads, and a lot of singles

I don't think anyone sees the site as the only means to meeting someone though

I use this as social interaction when I dont have the ability to go out. I have a kid, so its a fun way for me to be home and available while interacting with friends.

Ive been dating simultaneously. They have never been posters btw.

I dont think I would 'develop friendships' on here in hopes of later persuing a romance. If theres a spark, persue it immediately. Why putter around with that. I think if you can be romantically involved, a friendship is a part of that automatically, not necessarily beforehand.
:thumbsup:

I agree & when there are delays in meeting (on here with forum couples) it's usually geography and deciding whether/how to tackle that

Hey finding a mate has nothing to do with how you look, so looks mean nothing. I see ugly people married with lots of children every day.

I've seen a man with no arms, who drives a car, has a wife and kids, and signs checks with his feet.

I've seen Siamese twins who are attached to each other, each with a husband.

It is what is inside a person that makes them attractive and attracted to each other.

You have to take a good look at yourself. Know who you are.

Myself, I don't think I would make a very good traditional wife. I hate tradition and roll playing.

Besides, no one could put up with me.


I never said any thing about being ugly i'm saying what are we doing here that we at forms do not migle that we are all just friends.We all started with the site though looking for some one and now we are here doing what?.



This (Mingle) is a place to mingle and make friends. It aint' no pick up joint. laugh laugh

you are an awesome lady who would be a wonderful wife for the right person, beanheadlaugh

a marriage or LTR doesn't have to fit any certain mold

heck I know of a married couple that live in a tent in the woods doing wildlife surveys (at least they did IDK if they still do)

that's hardly the traditional white pickett fence scenario

I think if you meet the right person , together you make it what u want it to be - doesn't matter what others do or think



Yes, you are right of course. It doesn't matter what others do or think.

I don't want someone just like me. I don't need someone just like me. I already have myself. :tongue:

I would need someone who compliments me.

It would be a man who takes care of the yard, does not mind housework, loves to cook etc.

The problem is, I don't know what I could bring to the table. I just want to be an artist.
