Well that's me out, cos i got married in Mauritius last July, then we had a 2nd ceremony back in Scotland, for family and friends. Best of luck to you all though? congrats to you wishing you a happy and harmonious marriage Ha ha, a good nights sleep would do the two of us better than anything just now as we have a son who was 7 weeks old today. Walking about like zombies at times!

what are thoughts on long distance leading to marriage? That depends on if they've EVER met in person, I think getting to know someone strictly through the internet, never meeting them face-to-face, and expecting that to lead to marriage? nope, imho you'd be better-off ordering a mail-order bride. Now if the two HAVE met, (and continue to meet)..even if only sporadically....then yes I'd say it can.

In the U.S. the wedding and engagement rings go on the ring finger of the left hand..true or false?

I prefer to be treated as an equal. Different but equal is how I would compare women to men.

I would imagine that being a dating site, and most of us are here to find a partner then most of us would be open to marriage..... I have spent the last three and a half years single and celibate, and spent that time re establishing who I was and what I wanted in respect to relationships..... With a clear mind, body and soul, I knew this is what I wanted.....the sanctity of marriage..... the union of a man and a woman to make a permanent and exclusive commitment to each other.... what are thoughts on long distance leading to marriage? That depends on if they've EVER met in person, I think getting to know someone strictly through the internet, never meeting them face-to-face, and expecting that to lead to marriage? nope, imho you'd be better-off ordering a mail-order bride. Now if the two HAVE met, (and continue to meet)..even if only sporadically....then yes I'd say it can. I fully agree with this...^^^^... As I guess most of you are aware I have met someone here....(look at my pic if you are not aware...hahahaha) we have entered into a long distance relationship and we have met, and will be together again as soon as a few work and business commitments can be rearranged..... that meeting and spending quality time together made us realise that what we have is true..... if you cant meet up forget it, that time spent in each others company was magical and without it..... I for one would still be wondering..... is she the one..... well now I know..... sorry folks no proposal right here, right now.....hehe but watch this space.....

There is no guarantee that a man will look out for you when life get's real. The odds are, since they are selfish creatures who lack understanding about what a woman needs they will eventually let you down in ways you would never imagine, and they don't even think it is a big deal. They are so different that it's best to be independent as much as possible.

I don't know your past but have you been hurt badly our let down, because you don't seem to be in a happy place regarding men. There are horrible men out there, and women, but there are some good ones to, I'm still trying to find Mr right, it isn't easy, but all one can do is try.

Estelle, this broken record about guys is really starting to wear thin now? Instead of moaning about the male population, why don't you look in the mirror and moan about yourself, for a change? This bitterness and hatred is consuming you and ruining your chances of ever being happy in life? Take stock now and work on it, before it's too late?

They are so different that it's best to be independent as much as possible. Estelle, You can tell me to shut up and mind my own business and I will But I tell you this from one human to another. With compassion. It is crystal clear that in reading more and more of you posts that you have been hurt... deeply... That is clear.. to I think, everyone. But you have also given up on ALL men, and to a great extent despise them, but at the same time want them, need them. There are many many very good men out there... many.. But none would start a meaningful relationship with a woman with that negative mentality. None. They would surely fail as you would find fault in everything he did. I do not think there is a person on this site that would like nothing more then to one day see you post something in the " success" forum.. Nobody wants to see someone in pain like you appear to be. Especially a young Mom. But please do yourself a favor and maybe talk to someone about it... get some help. I think you will find that many people had the same unfortunate experience(s) men & woman, and with some help.. worked thru it.

I have some wisdom to share in these forums and some people need to respect that people have different opinions..so don't waste your time patronizing me. I will share what I think just like everyone else whether you can respect that or not.
