Topic: On this site for years ?
Bob K Joined Sat 12/29/18 Posts: 15	Fri 01/04/19 03:05 PM
Ok. I’m new to online dating. And this IS a dating site, right ? So it’s a little discerning that there are apparently people on this site for years ! Isn’t the goal to find someone, and then go spend our time with that person ? Instead of, say, here ? Or am I really missing something about how this works ?

Welcome to the asylum known as mingle. I wish you the best of luck here. Eh as dat said. "Some are just here for socializing. " Others just use it to break up boredom.

I have been here on Mingle2 since 2013.. took 2 years off to work on blogging for extra income but the darn site went out of business!.. came back in 2015 looking for a relationship after being on a paid site unsuccessfully. Now just here to post in the forums and mingle with friends. We have fun! My advice is not to put your eggs in one basket. Try other sites and if you are seriously looking try the paid sites. But... none (as far as I know) of the other dating sites (free or paid) have free messaging, free to read profiles, free to search, AND free to post in the forums and mingle with other members. I love Mingle2 and I love my mingle friends

You cannot delete your account. So anyone who's ever signed up is still a member. You can deactivate your account, that's it, but I think many forget to do that when they either find someone or give up. There's also other reasons. There's people who have been in a relationship since signing up, it didn't work out and they came back on here. I've been here since 2013, had a relationship for a year and a half. During, I was still on here. Not much, but occasionally, just the forums. I'm here for the forums only so I didn't see any reason why I should leave when in a relationship. I was member of a dating site as well, but I deactivated there when in relationship. There's also people who like the forums and aren't looking for a relationship (anymore). So there can be all kinds of reasons why people have been on here for years.

Why do you care how long people have been here for Bob, just about your business and stop worrying about " goals" friggin boring
