Posted: 9/22/2006 6:08:24 PM | | I want to add that the idea of "the one" I read in a lof of posts was something I had before I had a near-10 year marriage. Those ideas were gauzy and while they manifested in my former wife I was in bliss. That notion was deconstructed by separations (not my wish, initially) and eventual divorce. I realize that, to some, a person without this 'one and only in life' focus can seem (or be projected to be) 'unavailable' or not 'committed'. I don't usually get that kind of bad vibe because I am not trying to something I'm not. There is a rythym and flow to a mutual relationship that has to be approached and sometimes not overwatered. It can be perplexing when either party hops to some 'outcome' scenario too early and kills a blossoming thing. Insecurity isn't fun, but you don't extort security from another. Maybe you share your relative personal security (and admit the insecurities you DO have). I'd love to have a partner that lasts--I wouldn't have profile for long-term if I just wanted dates or one-nighters. Some of that was nice at one time, but it's not really satisfying. Intimacy, they say is letting someone really know you as well as knowing them. Tough to do on a 'show' date or Prince Charming agenda. Choice of a partner is not always easy--but I've done it before, and it's come close since. I'll be grateful if and when that eventual person emerges. And I hopefully will have evolved to be ready and worthy. I also know I will take the actions to try to make that known to her because I'll want to. | |

Posted: 9/22/2006 6:33:00 PM | | I have met alot of people in my lifetime and have also dated quite a bit. I was always on the search whether conciously or subconciously for "the one". Even with my heart broken and bleeding on the ground because that current guy stepped all over my heart, kicked it, then walked away. I still believe that there was someone out there for everyone and when that time was right you 2 were just going to click and it was all going to be perfect and right and roses. After a time, I grew jaded and disillusioned. I kept wondering if one of the relationships that I had been in had been "the one" and it just got mucked up somehow and now I was destined to be alone forever cuz it didnt work out. Somewhere in the back of my heart and mind I still believed though that there was someone out there for me and God did have a plan for me to be happy. I am very glad to that I had on to my faith and to my beliefs even though it was very hard at times. I have met "the one" and though it will take us time to really get to know one another, I truly have very high hopes for this relationship and I really do love him with all my heart. If you ever come across and read this babe I love you so much and August 8, 2006 is etched in my mind forever. | |

Posted: 9/22/2006 8:25:03 PM | Met? Like, in person?! LOL. Right.
No, seriously with no attitude, I've written to several women with completely innocent intentions, and maybe five of them have responded. Seems that quite a few women label their interest as "friends", but go on to describe what they are looking for in a life mate. I really do only want a lady friend or two to hang out with. I'm like the only guy I know of who doesn't think about sex, at all, when I'm with a lady at dinner or shopping or whatever we're doing. Maybe I'm not hornee enough for them.... | |

Posted: 9/23/2006 6:32:29 AM | | LOL! I said hornee ENOUGH....Didn't say I'm impotent....I actually did laugh out loud at your reply! I just happen to have taken a vow of celibacy (which is four months strong at this point) not to be broken, until I feel in my heart that I'm in love with the woman that I'm having sex with. | |

Posted: 3/2/2007 8:48:56 PM | hey MIKE!!!!
Maybe it may be a good way for you to get over a broken heart and feel loveable again just make sure the person you REBOUND with knows that you are not looking for a relationship so they don't fall for you and when you get bored and feel loveable and fulfilled again and you dump that sweet and innocent women for your stupid reasons she doesn't get crushed and wonder what is wrong with her and why she can't find a decent guy to love her forever as she deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When she tells you , you may be rushing into things and that you need some time don't lie to her and say that you are ready and that it doesn't matter!!
Peoples feelings get hurt just the same as yours don't be so selfish it is o.k if the other person knows nothing can come of it but when you lead them on and say I love you and your not going anywhere they may start to fall for you and begin to trust and feel safe and happy at last!~!!!!!
Think of others too!!!!!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 3/3/2007 5:56:19 AM | | Not one. I think most of the men on this site are just too silly for me. They can barely compose a message, therefore, there is nothing to ever correspond about. I think men like to play on here and send a two or three-word message to many women and that is it. I think they find most women too scary, i.e. adult. | |

Shared some emails with one, a few phone calls, set a date and they got sick so set another and their car broke down, called and left a few messages to get back to me to set another date and nothing, no emails or calls. My guess is she met someone else. Good luck to her... | |

Posted: 5/14/2007 12:48:55 PM | | I'm beginning to think that people would rather e-mail through the site than bother to ultimately meet people. Maybe it's cause I'm 64 and and most men want young. I've written to a bunch trying to be creative and it has been a total waste of my time. I haven't met 1 person from here yet. I think they use it to ward off loneliness and feel somewhat acknowledged with no intent on following through. I'm especially suspicious when somone won't even bother to post a picture. What's the point of posting a profile then? I get more affection and acknowledgement from my dogs. Where are the success stories??? | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 6:52:45 PM | Hi! I've never posted here, but I guess there's always a first time... found the topic interesting. I met a guy who lives very close to me... mostly out of curiosity, since it so happened he lives 5 minutes away... it was the weirdest thing... we went for a walk along the beach, sat and talked... he kept touching my arm... and then my cheek... until he realized it was upsetting me (I don't like that somebody I meet for the first time... a perfect stranger... touch me... old fashioned?), so he changed his friendly attitude and that was it. I also saw somebody here who I emailed and talked on the phone wth for a short time - from another site. We were making plans to meet and suddenly he got "very busy" and never heard of him again... got cold feet?!?!?!  | |

Posted: 5/20/2007 10:11:05 AM | | I haven't met the love of my life, but I have made some friends, who I still continue to have contact with via email and phone. I believe you can never have enough friends in life. I am still of the belief that the right one for me is out there, we just haven't found each other yet, but will. One thing I will say is that of all the men I have communicated with only one was rude and had an ugly spirit. He just wanted to argue, needless to say I have deleted him. I don't think you are old fashioned. Being touched by someone is personal and should have meaning and be expressions of feelings that are shared. Obviously he didn't have those kind of feelings for you, how could he? | |

Posted: 5/21/2007 10:27:43 AM | I was lucky enough over the weekend to meet 8 new POF friends!!! There were some wonderful folks show up for my canoe/kayak weekend and I enjoyed meeting each and everyone of them!! I hope we all get to play again some day soon.
People on here are afraid to branch out and do things to meet new people, do not be shy or scared to do things. Just pick something you enjoy doing and you will find an event that you can get to know like minded people!! I've not met anyone on here so far I have not liked. | |

Posted: 5/22/2007 1:48:49 PM | | I am not scared to meet people at all...actually that is why I am here, lol. It would be nice to throw a party and have a full house...I need more friends. I was in a relationship for 10 years, and you know how that goes...in the end, no friends. I have some now, but always want more! I am just sooo busy....I hope I can make it to the Toga Party...not sure just yet. I have plans Friday, and you never know what will happen after that. My best friend has to work Saturday night too...which bites! Not really though, she works at our favorite local place, so if I can't find anyone to go with me to the POF party, I will just go there. | |

Posted: 5/23/2007 4:53:25 AM | Well, there is NOTHING going on up here in the Panhandle and these people obviously don't want anything either. So I guess I'll just keep hanging with people from Central Florida!!! LOL... at least they get off their butts and like having FUN!!!
That toga party sounds like fun, I won't say how long it's been since I went to one of those, at least the costumes are not expensive!!! LOL | |

Posted: 5/23/2007 12:20:16 PM | Mesnafugal, I've been wondering since I first started reading "Forums", and read a few of your "postings", just what your screen name stands for. So May I ask???
We all say, "It's a small world, and with the internet we can "reach out to other", yet to read the Posts, back and forth between You and Missy, I wish sometimes the miles could just melt away. I went to college in Gainesville, have two brothers up in that area I haven't seen since our family Reunion around Christmas.
I have been writing to a lady from Tampa area, who wants to learn about horses, and I see the pics of you on horseback. I have to say, somehow we will all get together someday!! I enjoy people like yourself who like outside activities, Horseback riding, Kayaking, etc.
I simply wanted to say Hello, and let you know I noticed you! There is a forum on here for "Drive Byes" created by a man from Ft. Lauderdale who calls himself "Countryboy".. I called him "Cowboy"...because he looks Darn good in a Cowboy hat!!, anyways,.... You havejust been hit by a "DriveBye'-By me!! Nice to meet you!!
Missy, You don't have to consider going to the Toga Party alone. If you would like, you can meet Me before the dinner, after the dinner we can go to the Toga Party together and if you choose to leave early to meet your friend back home at your local place you can get back early, if you like!! Or stick it out with us crazy, dancin' fools in Punta Gorda. You can E-mail me directly!
To anyone else, I have to say, go past the pics, read the profiles and look for people (not just someone you want to date),who you have something in common with, and plan a "group activity'" for what we call in the Port Charlotte Group "LIKE MINDED PEOPLE". Meet as a group, face to face is a much better way to find out if you have "chemistry" than typing your heart out!!! God Bless You all, and let me invite you all to the PORT CHARLOTTE TOGA PARTY this Sat evening at the SLIP KNOT IN PUNTA GORDA................Bye for now, Kimmie | |

Posted: 5/23/2007 3:00:16 PM | | Thank you Kimmie..you are too kind. I will wait till Friday night to decide if I will be coming. I really do want to, but we will see? I will email you if I want to go...if that isn't too short of a notice? Either way, thank you! | |

Posted: 5/26/2007 3:42:43 PM | | Hope you guys have a blast tonight...I won't be making it. I had a late night last night, and I think I will stay local tonight, lol. Besides, our bars close at 12, and I have to get up for work at 5am AGAIN! I am running on only a few hours of sleep from last night. I am not usually one to go home before the party is over, so this is probably best. I will make it to another POF get together eventually. And next time, I would like to see some of you! I am sure you guys are fun...I can tell, lol. HAVE FUN | |
