I am here mostly for the forums and I am realistic, but I would not be against meeting someone nice.

Originally I joined to meet someone, till I found my way to the forums. Now just here for them.

I'm here for the entertainment value. Lots of people catch my eye but
There is no way I'd pack everything up on a whim to be with someone online. Just doesn't compute with me at this time. Never say never but I can't see anyone packing up to move here either. I would feel responsible for them if they moved and it didn't work out. "virtual" romantic relationships are just that... Virtual |

Therein lies the second reason I no longer attempt long distance relationships. I am here primarily for forums and friends but I am single and leaving myself open to the possibility that I may meet someone with whom a more serious relationship could develop. But any serious relationship will have to start with friendship and develop naturally over time. |

When I joined Mingle2 last year, I thought I was ready to look for dating. Then after being on here about a month, I realised that NO woman would actually be interested in me. At least not for dating or a relationship....If we're truely being honest. Hell, I wouldn't date me!
Also have realised, any of the women I think I might be interested in, live too far away. What's the point of getting with someone, if you won't be able to meet them?! That's why I now am just on for the forums, making friends, having fun flirting. Not saying I wouldn't like to meet a woman, just don't see it as feasible. |

I have to confess I am a Hermit.I have been a party girl and had lots of amazing friends and used to love
Socialising.Now I enjoy my own company and probably because I have a busy life an afternoon or evening on my own is a luxury.Everyone keeps pushing me to go out and meet people but its really an effort for me.I will stick to M2 and the forums and if I make friends thats great and if I dont I can just Lurk and amuse myself with other peoples lives! I love my Cocoon! |

Hello all, coincidentally today I was wondering about this. Truth of the matter is that I have had ALL good experiences in my interactions on this site, So what risks of emotional self-harm do I run if I cut myself off from the positive, life-affirming 'connections' that i have made?? What about the aspects of self that take bloom in this arena. Does finding a special one dictate the stunting of these green shoots of new self-discoveries? Aren't these questions/issues that we face "offline" anyway? As I said these questions, in the context of the site, are newly surfaced ones for me, so the depths to which I will dive to find my own truth are yet unknown. But I sure as hell will learn a lot finding out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Regards dreadaye PS: Are we actually discussing here about how 'real' we are being? sure are... and most have known and have said they are in a relationship but still here for friends & the forums ...which is cool and they say they have change profile ... that pretty real enough ... I have seen some empty profiles with nothing but lets get together to just F..K or be FWB ... and those that just have a online relationship and only prefers one in particular... thats pretty honest to ...being i know some can be dishonest on here all the time ...so very nice some can fess up ... |

Well I came here on a drunken binge, after I found out the girl I have eyes for was already spoken for. But I think I'll stay for the forums, and all the fun folks that go with them.

So if this is about stepping-up to the plate and assuming full responsibility for our mingling experience, I recently took a chunk out of my profile that described me as being open to meeting. So, I confess that any profile gazing I NOW do is focussed on those who are interested in friendship. I won't lie to myself, because I know that I will not be everyone's cup-of-tea, so to speak, but that aint any different from the way out is out there in the world. So I intend to continue being real to myself and if a very special person appears with whom i share a mutual interest in some sort of exclusivity then I guess that together we will discuss how/if the site can play a constructive part in life as it unfolds. Likewise if i meet someone out there in the physical world. |

I agree. always a never know who u will meet on or off here ... seems but is a ug is distance especially if they are far away ... not easy to up root and think of moving away from your home makes things complicated if kids are in involved ... easy when not really attached and can do that ... but good luck on here some have met on here and are now having a nice life together ... |

I'm here because I'm single. I'm not looking for marriage or a serious relationship. However, my dream is to find that one guy that absolutely floats my boat. No expectations, just let it ride and see what happens.
