I feel the same way you do, what ever happened to getting to know someone? I feel like this, if we are meant to be together then we have our whole lifetime to figure out what we should do. I think if you just slow down and become friends, then you can have a better relationship. Friends first and then make a better relationship.
If someone tries to pressure me, it makes me wonder what they are trying to hide. Whats the big hurry? You have your whole life to get to know each other, so you don't have to say those big words quickly.
BUT as I am sitting here typing this I am thinking..I am always saying, Life is short and you should always make the most out of it!! Geesh I guess I have different sayings for different things!! :wink: I still think you have to be friends before you can be anything else!!! flowerforyou


Women are full of contradictions. that is what makes us wonderful!flowerforyou

the thing with these sites is you may be talking to someone for a while and you like the person, but then you moved too slowly and someone else grabbed the person before you get the chance to. It's a competition.

I agree it is a competition...BUT don't you think you need to build a friendship first? I think if you meet someone and just jump into a relationship, its not going to last. I think it will end up being a short romance...who wants that?

I think if she was really interested in you no one would be able to grab her away. Why would she still be looking anyway?

drinker This is kinda like a 'Catch & Release Program'..at least check them out...release them if that is not what your looking for.
Years ago when there was no internet...I would date someone..of
so-so interest and hoped he had a couple of nice friends...and it broadened my circle...drinker

i just believe that if u want to actually have a real long lasting relationship,then you have to have a strong friendship first its pointless to date someone only to find out they annoy you and you have nothing in common with them talk about a big waste of time

so i dont know if its just me and how i was raised but here it goes..

im a member of another singles site and some random guy asked me if i was single and if i was looking i told him i was but im not looking,he ran away as soon as i told him i wasnt looking..what ever happend to being friends first and knowing the person well enough to want to be with them?

is it just me or are people moving to fast now a dayslaugh


I have had the same problem. Usually if I say I am taking things slowly, they are then gone. But I think of it like this, if they are really interested in me they will take the time to "be interested in me".bigsmile
