Long Term Dating From POF..
Posted: 5/21/2008 6:54:48 PM
I have a suggestion, why don't you go back to the bar Julie? That's always a good place to meet men. . At least that way you're not being fed lies, right? Because men in the "real world" certainly don't have the same issues as men in the fake cyber world.
Okay, show of hands people, how many of you have dated out in the "real world"? I'm pretty sure I have! In fact, I'm pretty sure I still do. But at least on a website I get to have a conversation with someone, rather than yelling across a crowded room to some drunk in a barely lit atmosphere that is just as likely to have the same issues as anyone on here.
I remember learning somewhere that usually when people see something in others that they don't like it's because they have those qualities themselves. I think you're insecure and you have a superiority complex and it's a damn shame that you left so you can't read the truth about how retarded you are.
POF is the perfect way to get shy people out there meeting each other that don't have the guts to walk up to strangers on the street. I've gone on dates with people that I never would have given a chance to out in the "real world", as Julie so aptly put, because they were too square looking, or I just wanted to hit them. (I know, I can be somewhat judgemental, what can you do).
My last relationship was with someone I met off of here, he was awesome, but not ready to be with anyone, and I wasn't either, it happens. Life happens. The fact of the matter is that we live in a cyber world, why should anyone be ashamed that they meet people off the internet?
Julie: go back to your high horse and drink another martini, because this fish sees right through your pretentious act... and quite frankly, you're not that interesting and not attractive enough to be putting a whole world of complete strangers down.
OP: don't let your past experiences jade your present one, and don't allow others to define your truth.

My first bit of advice would be to change your profile to either looking for friends or talk/e-mail or change your relationship status....especially if you two are moving towards an LTR.

Now, I met my SO on here...we've been together about 2 years now and have a beautiful little girl. Unlike your relationship, ours was relatively fast paced (we moved in together after 2 weeks).

My only advice for you, and it's pretty much for any relationship, is to be honest. Relationships fail without honesty. Cheating = someone wasn't being honest about their feelings (whether it be they need more sexual action, more emotional support, etc). Every problem in the long run goes back to honesty. As long as you are honest with him and him with you then your relationship could be great.

Also, for a lot of people who meet online, the internet then becomes an issue. When I met Welder he knew I loved the forums so we compromised and I set up a joint account and he has access to it any time he wants. I've never given him a reason not to trust me and as far as I know the only time he ever got on here was when he wanted to post something himself. Other than that I have no knowledge of him ever 'checking up' on me. So, if you enjoy the forums, etc. then you need to make that known. If he has an issue, then work out a compromise or go your seperate ways (if he's one of those that is like 'hell no you won't be on there for ANY reason').

Anyho...congrats and good luck!

To lil' miss Aberdeen: Folks, #1 she is confused about her sexuality I think. Or maybe she is a transgender and can't figure out if she is a man or woman today. #2. A MONTH would be on 6/11/08. So, obviously the little dear heart isn't too good with math either. I believe it has only been 3 days...
