Quoted from Lawnbowler

Good for you,Suzi, thats told em............lol
I myself come on here because I like to make new friends and talk about interesting subjects......as i think is the case with most of us.
Anyway, I think looking for love is like looking for a job.......when you have one you see lots of employment possibilities, when you are out of work there is nothing around.

Thank you and I agree with Meandean as well.
Life.... aren't we looking for love in one form or another right from when we are born?
Love of a parent, love of a family, playmates, school mates, then in latter primary school we begin to be more aware of our own sexuality and become attracted to and smitten with people who attract us at school. Then when we leave school it's (in my case) when you have a job you look at people you see during working hours (usually customers) with a prospect to love. Other's continue their education and they too usually 'look for love' in their environment. That is life. It's only natural and it's only human. To find someone to love and share our lives with.
Why do people go to Night venues to dance and drink etc? Mainly to look for someone with whom they can get to know, maybe date and fall in love. If you don't 'look' then how the hell are you supposed to find it? It normally, from my experiences, doesn't just land in your lap. People like to increase their chances of finding 'the one' and Internet Dating is one way to do that.

Quoted from SuziH

This has been covered before (a few posts along) but just to reiterate... here is what I said...
Are you saying people are on this forum hoping to find someone to date? Or where you just generalising? Because if you were saying people actually go on to forums to purposefully look for someone who grabs their fancy, I would say you are sadly mistaken. Like Pezant explained he (and I) belong to singles sites for that purpose. A chat forum is no where to be sniffing about for someone to ring your bells.

Get it, got it, good!

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much  

I came across a lady a few weeks back that met her partner internet dating, and is very happy. Her daughter had decided to try it and is also happy (though her relationship is not as serious as her mothers - yet).

Me - I dont think it would be for me, not comfortable with idea of finding out that suzy the dress maker used to be brian the wharfie!.

Quoted from SuziH

I have probably been on 10 such dates. Only one fellow worked out and we dated for 5 weeks but...

Suicide I suspect!

If a friend on the forum had not told me what you wrote Cactus, I wouldn't have known since I have my settings so I can't see your posts (obviously with good reason). Your reply to my intelligent (I think) post was unessessarily rude, mean and uncalled for. Before you write it was in jest or whatever excuse you want to use for your bad manners, DON"T.

Actually remembered another friend of my wife had picked herself up a bloke from internet dating, he was dating (and having sex with ) 3 other women at the time, he now is (supposedly) only with her, and has moved in, she pays the bills, he does a bit of gardening and housework. She seems happy to, but not my idea of an ideal way to start a relationship, being Sunday and Tuesday nights entertainment!

There are people like you mention out there BB. They call them 'players'. I recently asked someone who is registered on the same site as myself what a player actually is. A bit naive I am! They said it's someone who is on more than a few sites and who dates several people at one time.

"10 such dates" hardly naive, more like a professional I'd say.

I think, to be quite honest, that there's more going on than any of us are probably aware of between you two and with that said, I've said it but I don't feel obliged to say anything that makes it okay for either one of you to come from where you are coming from nor do I feel obliged to say either of you are wrong... so can't you just go out on a date and work it out?  I mean you met on the internet

Okay the first part wasn't so much a joke actually.

I agree with Cactus.  10 internet dates and she pretends to be naive.  Please spare me the pretence of little Miss innocence.

Well I sure hope my daughter is "little miss innocent" after she has her first 10 dates! (she is a bit young at the moment, and has not worked out how to pick the padlocks on her chains)

paula would divorce me if i did so i voted not in a million years

I feel there is no right or wrong way of meeting someone.  We are all visual creatures but at the same time we all crave for a true connection, which is more than skin deep.  Internet dating makes finding this connection a little easier and knowing that everyone online is available for someone is an advantage.  Offline you don't always know if a person you're interested in is available.

Think, Cherry on BB! (Or Rory)
