Topic: limiting yourself to the mingle "nudges" lol | |
---|---|
So many that I have talked to here on mingle seem to say the same things. I can't find anyone. This site is a flop. No one on here talks to me so I will be alone forever. I always wonder if they're limiting themselves to online dating and even more strictly limiting themselves to just this site? Don't get me wrong I love mingle especially the forums, but to me meeting people in person is still the best way to go. Put yourself out into the world but don't limit yourself. Think about the type of partner you want. Where might you find this type of person? At what events? Say you want someone who loves animals. A good place to find that person? How about a dog park? Or a pet store. Opportunities are everywhere. You just got to go get em! I agree with you all the way. Its not hard to tell I like dogs because my 110 lb yellow lab is always in my back seat. The supermarket also is a favorite place, women are smart they will look in your cart and can tell if your bachelor by what your buying.LOL I always hear stories about people meeting in grocery stores, but I don't actually know anyone who has met someone to date that way. |

It's easier for me to approach women on here than it is in person. Now my main obstacle is finding a woman in my area who is willing to meet me. 4 months and still nothing. You need to pay to use other dating sites. And I refuse to pay by card. Depending on what you define as your area I wish you luck. I find that most people I talk to on the internet aren't even in the same time zone I'm in. I have no actual expectation of meeting anyone online in real life. I'm perfectly fine with just making friends. |

I ask once for help from a fellow shopper on picking out my dad a good fishing reel for his b-day. I didn't really need it. I just used it as an ice breaker. We shared some fishing stories and our conversation moved to the in store snack shop. That lead to dinner the following weekend and eventually a few movies and then some smooches...and so on! Haha! Ive seen couples meet at the deli I used to work for. It happens but you have to step out of your comfort zone and take a chance. |

I have no actual expectation of meeting anyone online in real life. I'm perfectly fine with just making friends. Same goes for me.. I'm just enjoying knowing and talking to different kinds of people all around the globe sharing our thoughts and discussing anything under the sun even learn from them. It's the Cheapest way to unwind. |

The forums are great! I'm talking more for the ones who are really focusing on finding someone but they don't really put themselves out there. They slap a half rear ended profile up on one dating site. Get out of your comfort zone stop being lazy and instead of waiting for something to happen ,MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN!

I saw someone like that probably last night. They only made one post and it was to say this site was a waste of time. lol
Sure it's a waste if you don't get involved. lol |

Internet dating has worked out better for me in one year than trying to meet someone in the real world in five years since my last relationship, so I'm not knocking it.
Doesn't mean that I'm limiting myself to this but I tried singles clubs and didn't like them. At least if I'm sitting at home with my computer switched on and nobody wanting to talk to me I don't have to be completely bored and wishing that I had just stayed at home and watched TV or something else instead. It's maybe true that if I don't go out no woman is going to come knocking on my door but it just takes one woman to like my profile enough to nudge or message me if I'm on a dating site and that's happened before and led to dating. Anyway, I do want to get out more and try some new things to meet people this year but give me a chance. I still haven't got over the last year yet and this is Scotland and it's the middle of bloody winter. |
