What's so wrong with being honest?

Your profile says "dating " so are you being honest about what you are looking for??Sounds to me that you are looking for something serious.

I agree it would be a much better world if people posted recent and honest photos


So says the one without a photo!

Honesty, bad attitudes, etc. show themselves in time. Take that time to get to know someone so that all you lament later is having that one good date instead of feeling bad you got naked with someone who turns out to be a creep.

Did my best to explain it in my profile..And now I put it up front, the very fist line she would read.
To me dating isn't anything serious...I heard "Friends' means sex only..Hm..
Long term, that is more serious, unless we mean long term friendship.
Someone told me people don't want to be friends, and that this is a dating site.
Disagree..We have options to chose from, so this isn't strictly a dating site.
But I found that friends is hard to find, but what if you just want a female companion, without thinking about when to go ring shopping? That's what I mean I being honest about my intention.

I know you feel like he was playing and was a complete contradiction from the person you thought he had presented.

Noone knows but him, just think about this. As we get to know people, our feelings about them evolve or devolve, they tend to change either quickly or slowly. Many people get caught up in the whole "newness" and don't always choose someone that may be compatible for what they're looking for they tend to choose someone based on various attraction factors that aren't necessarily just "looks" related.

The thing about honesty is that it starts with ourselves first. Not many make it past that point and if they do, there's also the pressure of what the other person or other people may think or say or how they'll react. While many claim to want honesty it's not always that well received, so if you ask for it be prepared to handle it whether it's what you want to hear or not. And don't expect that someone will thank you when you tell them the truth when they ask for it.

To answer a question posed earlier in the second page,

'Your profile says dating but it sounds like you're looking for something more serious after reading it.'

I presume of course this question was posed to perhaps in some way point out that I am being dishonest too, no I am not.

If you read my profile you will see I am seperated, I also state that while I am looking for that special someone I do not wish to rush into anything. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it. I have no desire to rush into anything again, even if I fell head over heels for someone I still would take it slowly. Why? Because I have a child!! Another thing people wold notice if they read my profile. When chosing anyone to spend time with, dating or anything more serious I am not just considering my relationship with them but also how their presence in my life will affect her. So it has been my choice to 'date' people, out of my house, away from my child and not to get into anything serious until I am completely sure of them and of myself.
