In someone on Mingle but is too afraid to approach that one?
I mean a potential mate interest..not sexual.

Disclaimer: In no way, shape or form has this got anything to do with me personally

Yes, I read a lot of profiles on Mingle of someone I am interested in but I feel we are too different or live too far apart so I don't write him.

Probably.

Lots of people came to the internet in the first place because they were too scared to try anywhere else.

Too scared of rejection, too scared of talking to strangers, too scared of the risk, too scared of not having complete control of a situation.

Lots of people look for social interaction on forums because they're too scared to try emailing people.
They set up a profile and just wait for others to approach them, sit and wait for the person they want to come find them, but they're lonely, and while they're sitting and waiting why not go find some social interaction.

So...I'm sure there are a lot of people too afraid to approach "that one."

Sometimes...we just gotta take that chance. Rejection here still isn't quite as bad as in person.

Yeah, I take that chance sometimes. I always get rejected.

While I suppose there are people on here (probably newbies) who are 'scared' to contact anyone.. they 8are* on here.. so they know they have a desire..

Thus, the idea of running across 'that one' would seem to override that fear eventually.. Maybe they watch (lurk) for a bit..

For those on here for a while.. and having tried a few contacts.. and obviously been rejected (or the two would be off happily ever after, right..?) .. they (like me) might tend to just sit back and dee what comes..

My take on it, anyway..

Everyone should be careful, But The Good ones attract Good. On here for a date, relationship, marriage- Do have a Positive mindset. Be Patient!

you know I can hardly believe that. I don't wanna start a conspiracy theory here...but
Ya really gotta wonder why so many rejections.

And again: in no way..shape or form is this about me

Taking the chance not a bad idea, because you do believe definitely someday you will receive what you desire.
So many rejection because of Race, Age, Distance and human difference.

Sadly no... not yet anyway.
He is probably on another site.

I think I have not found someone who I have a mutual attraction and we have a lot of the same interests with.

I've contacted quite a few women on other dating sites.. some have viewed my profile but no replies so I guess that's rejection.

I've viewed and read profiles on Mingle2 and had a few view mine but still no interest. It does get you down a bit.

I think too many (men & women) get too picky as they get older and miss out or some good people. The perfect guy/women or prince charming doesn't exist but many are still looking for him/her. I'm guilty of that as well.

I am also a victim of it- Too Picky.

(((catinidaho)))
What do you mean you always get rejected?
You mean the ba#tards didn't answer your emails?
How many did you send?
What?
Too nosy?

wanna watch "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" and cry our eyes out?

Maybe, but i can't really recall anyone specific & most here already got too many issues or dogs chasing after them & i dont approach anyone that clearly shows no interest in me. This is my first dating site & i'm more into real life relationships rather then online but if its starts online it has to turn into a real meeting at least

Msrosie, no one is bastard- harsh word.
Go try watched Love Rosie?

on internet dating, isn't not about being to picky, it's about being to judgemental...

when we talk with people face to face, we see and pick up their mannerisms, so we can tell if they are joking or serious, or mean or nice... with reading a few words on a screen, we can't tell much about them except what we make up in our own minds, plus the fact we can be anyone we choose to act like on the web...


there's always reasons why not to, but lots fewer reasons why we should...

MightyMoe: I totally agree with you.. but if your a person who doesn't go out much plus I live in a small country town it is harder to meet face to face.

I think many people won't contact others because they feel they aren't good enough or there is the rejection factor.
