| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 7/18/2006 4:47:01 PM | | I've met I think 2, both seemed really cool when you were talking to them over an IM system, but as soon as you got into a room with them and met them face to face, they were boneheads (you know who you are) whp just wanted to get in your pants (not that it's a bad thing, but some of us on this thing still have morals) that has kind of made me weary of meeting people.. Plus there are some people who use other people's pics so you never really know what they're like... | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/11/2006 9:44:02 AM | i've met more than a handful thats for sure, maybe more than 35 even, i woulnt be able to remember them all cause ive found that a lot of people ive met off this site usually is from accidentally bumpin into them on the streets/club. i however never recognize them or know who they are but they seem to recognize me, even the ones that never even written to me. this site must be big.
but ones that i purposely went out to meet must be around 15 or so and every single one of them have been nice and i have no regrets :D especially no regrets in meetin this one guy, he was so much hotter than his pic and his personality could not have even been shown thru the internet, im glad i got to see him in person. he was so amazin...my dream man, too bad we are both such stubborn people :( | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/11/2006 6:55:36 PM | 2 face to face. 1 meeting was very good. The other was flaky, but I got out with just one beer.
I think it's a waste of time on POF. I usually have better luck in a bar. Somehow, being a nerd inside, I just feel more confortable in front of a computer than talking to strangers face to face. | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/11/2006 7:17:10 PM | I'm quite happy with this site. I've met 3 nice women face to face and talked with many more by email and IM. I am supposed to be meeting with another soon and will see where things go from there. I have not made that special connection with that one special person yet but have made some great friends and am still hoping the next one will be my keeper.  | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/11/2006 9:30:53 PM | | I deliberately met one, found another that works in my building, and saw another that I'd known of (but never really knew) for years. Other than that...yay forums. | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/12/2006 1:46:36 PM | Well my first meeting with someone from this website proved to be truly magical. It was the most romantic date I've ever been on. We met at the wharf and then went to the beach... no one was around except for us... it was late afternoon... We sat on a blanket and listened to the waves crashing in. Afterwards, we took a drive to my old house where we decided to camp out. We sat by the crackling fire in the fireplace and talked for hours. It couldn't have been any more romantic, I tell ya.  | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/12/2006 2:07:34 PM | Several from this site,, coffee dates or drinks and dinner,,, all nice guys,,, but, no connection. One from another site, who traveled a great distance to meet, after months of e-mails, IMs and phone calls. It was really awful!  As a result, if a face to face meeting doesn't happen reasonably soon, I tend to begin pulling back,, I just don't want to invest too much emotionally.

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/12/2006 2:12:35 PM | I have met a dozen men from this site; not counting the two no-shows. I enjoyed meeting all of them; four of them in particular were very interesting. Several are still friends. I have been to two of the POF events, the first dinner at New India in June and one of the POF brunches at Fresgo's in Surrey in April. I have chatted with lots and continue to but have changed my status to looking for friends because I am currently involved with someone that I didn't meet online and I don't believe in multiple partners.
I find the forums fun - for the most part they are a laugh, but every once in awhile I find one that is interesting. | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/12/2006 2:42:53 PM | I have met 4 people in person since Feb 06 from POF Two meets were just as friends, one I thought would be more but it didnt work out that way
The other 2 ..there was a mutual connection, started to see them, wanted it to continue but I am not sure why or what happened exactly. The most recent I hope the friendship lasts.
A few more I 'type' with that I would like to meet, even just as friends | |

| how many people have you met from this site? Posted: 8/12/2006 2:53:52 PM | with all the POF parties going on..You get to meet alot of people face to face...which is awsome..
There is less presure and everyone always has a good time..Plus..You can walk away and end the evening anytime you like.
I highly recommend meeting people like that...
Meeting someone special is an added bonus....( right sunshine??) | |
