well thank you. that's good advice. i will pay more attention to the way they talk to me from now on. that's very good advice. and i've always said (sometimes in my profile also) that i'm just looking for my best friend with the icing on the cake ;)

I wish I had the secret! I can say in my case if I am truly interested in a relationship with someone I make it a point to open up to them.
It makes me vulnerable to being hurt but I want them to KNOW I am sincere. And I am not going to change.
See how they talk to you. Not just about the every day things. That of course is important. But see if they open up to you. What makes them happy, What has hurt them and made them cry?

I have found people that I have developed a deep friendship with. I have shared their joys and cried with them too when things were bad.
I know it has been over said but the best relationship are based on great friendships. And they take an emotional investment too.

I don't know if this makes any sense. or helps. But I hope it does.
Wes

nah, you're not.
always remember that girls are more attracted to a guy with a positive and confident attitude.


Yeah! Agreed. Whiny boys are just that, boys.

But Tracey if your question was directed at me about finding the guy, the answer is yes. I just updated my profile today, in fact. You'll get sick of hearing me talk about how in love I am if you stick around. flowerforyou

aww i'm sorry to hear this. i hate it when parents are like that. i have two boys i raise on my own. dad's right around the corner, i call him he doesn't return the calls. boys want to see him and he will NOT for anything have anything to do with them. I just don't see how parents can be like that. Then I have a daughter who lives with dad and she hasn't been allowed to my house in over a year and a half. I'm going to court for that at the end of this month because she finally asked me to. Didn't want to push her. Waited patiently for her to say something. About time! But I was thinking completely of HER. When you're a parent you really need to think about the best thing for the child. It's a shame some parents just don't get that.

Apparently I need help weeding through the losers to get to the real people. I've met and dated a couple people from this site. Some have been really nice to get to know and are still friends. Others not so much.
Fortunately for me, I'm not easy. Otherwise, I'd have been played a lot and all used up by how many people just want to get in my pants.
Well the most recent idiot I talked to kept me on the computer for a week planning on meeting him (was supposed to meet him today actually). What can I say? I was intrigued. He seemed like a great guy, was cute, we had a lot in common. He even worked masonry (which was my last construction field). We made all these plans and I was expecting him today and I even talked to him before I went to bed last night and then I get up this morning and find his email. I'm so sorry, I'm not going to be able to make it. It's not you, it's me. YADAYADAYADA!!! I'm so sick of it!

I've tried putting different things in my profile. Different pictures, partying, with family, with friends, nice, not so nice and I've mixed up the things I say in my profile. All true and me, but just worded differently. I just don't get it.

So on that note..

Can anyone tell me how to find the REAL men?

Thanks.
Tracey


you rang?

You don't find them.
They find you.

If you go to any public gathering (such as a bar or club) you can EASILY separate the chumps from the champs just by reading body language alone.

The chumps will be the wallflowers holding their drinks up to their chests, looking uncomfortable with the other hand in their pockets. Those guys are only good for one thing: getting free drinks.

The champs will be the smiling people, laid back while freely talking to strangers as if they own the place.

As for online dating... it's a lot harder. The losers will usually message you with a SOI (statement of intent, or statement of interest) right off the bat with something like OMG UR SO HAWT or something just as lame or desperate sounding. The men of quality will spark your intrigue - with words alone - and will build some comfort and trust with you before getting that extreme.

Good luck,
-Chief

My mom (rest her beautiful soul) used to say two things in regard to this topic, She'd say "Son, you can always tell a tree by it's fruit and Son, never buy a pig in'a poke"
Thanks Mom...you rock flowerforyou
