:wink: Thank you.

Well, it should be fairly obvious that I'm married, so I don't think I'm giving anyone the wrong impression. After all, I do have pix of me in my wedding gown!! noway

Ummmm something similar was posted a while back, and Mike responded and said all are welcome.

So don't sweat the crap... I know a few married people on this site, and they are not looking for anything more than online conversation, with the blessings of their partners...

what I'm still doing on this site since Tom and I got married. It has been brought to my attention that this is a "dating" site.

Can't I stick around even though I am married? I mean after all, I've met so many people I consider my friends here.

I can take it.........should I deactivate?


Of course you can stick around. And you'd better.:smile:
This isn't only for singles, otherwise it would have been called singles only.
There are friends here who come here to talk, give opinions and interact with others. I see NO reason why you should deactivate.flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou

Fineporcelain mentioned this awhile back -- she met someone and is planning a wedding, and asked Mike if she would have to leave the site because of this. And Mike said no, you can be married and still be here!

Which makes sense. Because you're married, you're not allowed to make any new friends anymore?

Whisp, those of us who have gotten to know you during your time here, would hate to see you leave.

By the way -- I haven't checked this lately, but isn't there a setting for "Married" under "Relationship Status"? They wouldn't have that as an option if married people weren't allowed!

And I occasionally see people mentioning stuff on threads, like "I checked the guy's profile and it says he's married, so why is he here looking for an intimate encounter?" or something along those lines....

You better stay girl! flowerforyou
We would miss your posts...
Friends are here to make every day!



As long as a person's profile says they are married and not looking- then there should'nt be a problem. People need to read
profiles! Yep this is a date site- but I would never leave all
these great friend's I have made here... if and when in the advent that I would meet someone. :smile:

If the trust is there, then that is fine. However your significant other might see this as a threat. That when the times of smiles lost, you might find another option. This says nothing against you, as I do not know you. However most people in this world marry for the reasons that do not allow them to know better to work through problems or even be for certain.

I would not be on this site and just keep in contact with friends another way, with no potential for rebound in case things don't work out. This should rule out that option, not tempting anyone when times are rough. Perhaps through messenger or email address. But to remain on a dating site, me personally would disengauge if I found the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Thanks, MsTeddyBear2u, Tom and Lex. I did go back to my profile and updated. I had not changed my marital status as I forgot I hadn't done that. I do wish one had the option of choosing "anyone" or "men and women for friendship," instead of just "woman searching for man for friendship." I want friends of either/both sexes!

Random_Stranger: Though I understand your position concerning "staying in touch" with friends via this venue, I feel since I am already "established" here, I wish to continue here rather than attempting to contact everyone on my friend's list re-routing their mail. (WOW! That was a run-on sentence if I've ever written one!) But........thank you for the input, nonetheless. flowerforyou

flowerforyou If you just come in here to the forums I don't see where the problem is.
I know I don't get flooded with offers from the meat market...

I get a youngster once in awhile just to make me crack up is all.. :wink: laugh

I think you are fine if your husband is good with it, and you are on here for your friends and the forums.

Heck, I'm almost back with my exBF again, and I definitely will stay on here.

This is "Just say Hi"..not "Just say yes"..of course people can find friends here. I have been having some really nice conversations with women, and I am totally straight. So, stay. If you really get happy, maybe you can remind the rest of us why we are here. :wink:

Don`t leave...We all have too much fun here..

Even if I would find another Lady in my life.

She would have to understand that this is a great site to meet people, and have a fun time with. I mean that sense of humor wise.

I have a good time when people on here tease me, because they know that i tease back.

Thanks, Jedi. BTW, I had to look at your "sign" a couple of times before I got it. I thought there was a little something wrong, but couldn't quite put my finger on it! laugh laugh laugh I guess because I may well have printed something like it for one of the docs I used to work for. Until she asked me if I was getting enough sleep............yawn noway laugh :wink:
