Posted: 2/28/2007 3:43:54 PM | I think I am doing something wrong. I have been on two sites totaling a little over a year. I have had so many dates I forget. The majority were not as advertised. I would say like 10 out of 10. Ha ha. I have met one man that I sincerely am deeply in like with but thats all. No one ever really hit the spot. Funny, I am not very picky but oh my goodness what a bunch of mixed up people.
I have met drunks who say the drink socially. Now I know that means they have to drink to be social or even civil. A few extra pounds, what a joke. Outdated pictures, lies about their careers or that they are retired.
I have gotten so that I REALLY don't expect much that way maybe I will be surprised. But at least one thing I can say it is entertaining.LOL | |

Posted: 2/28/2007 6:40:55 PM | | I have been single for a LONG time, and on several different dating sites. I have met several guys from those sites and 3 from this site. I have developed a wonderful friendship with one, had a great dinner and nothing else with another, and the 3rd, well.... I paid for a wonderful dinner on my birthday for him! I think that if you go into any meeting as just that, a meeting... this is really easy. Also, you need to remember that you are going to learn something from everyone you meet. Some lessons are fun, and some are heartbreaking. Here is to fishing! | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 6:47:17 AM | No dates from the NET ever = 0
And I have been on more than this dating site = 6
I have met people I thought were rather interesting while at the POF gatherings, but they were not part of the POF group.
I see that since that meeting and I explained to them what we were all doing there, they have joined POF.
HEY!!!! Can I have credit if someone gets a date because OF ME but not with me? | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 7:30:58 AM | There's two types of people on here... those who are stuck in cyberspace and want infinite emails every day complimenting them & those who are serious about dating and meeting in person-
theres a new invention .. its called a telephone... USE IT | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 7:44:38 AM | POF meet 39
match.com 2
2nd dates perhaps 15-20
more than that 15
Heres a story or 2 a man friend told me a few years back before i came back online. Men will meet 100 women and look for the 1, women will meet 1 man and hope he is the 1.
If we put this into another perspective If you were given a pile of 100 rocks and you were told there was a diamond in that pile would you pick up the 100 rocks looking for that diamond. In that perspective i'd say yes. and so thats why i guess i have picked up 41 rocks, but i still don't think it feels right.
haven't met the diamond yet! | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 4:33:58 PM | In 5 years I've met lots of women, don't know the number.
Very few make it to a 3rd meet (or whatever the buzzword is these days).
However, once we do get the that point, then we tend to stay connected no matter how things turn out relationship wise.
Also, I've adapted a strategy of spending more time interacting online before meeting, so the chances of connecting when we do meet is higher then my old strategy. Which was simply to meet if there didn't seem to be any obvious dealbreakers.
Having my kids in a shared custody arrangement really pushed me to look at meeting people differently. From the beginning I decided to fit my social life into the days when I don't have my kids. So I want to spend those days with people I connect with, and not so much with people that are nice, nothing wrong with them, but I don't feel motivated to meet.

For all you jaded types, maybe the third time's a charm! | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 5:07:00 PM | To date, can't say as I've had dates from this medium, but rather just meeting up with someone on here. None this year. Previously, I've met two and one is now a good family friend. The other didn't amount to anything. Was just a strong attraction.
I've had two men who seemed serious about dating for real, and both didn't show up or backed out after they had planned extensive trips to meet me. Very very weird. I didn't bother to ask why. I figure they were probably lying about something and knew I'd have no mercy on their souls. LOL...smart guys at least.
All the other dates I've had the past 3 years were face to face, not internet world. Needless to say, I definitely prefer face to face setups. This internet thing isn't a very reliable source for dating IMO.
But I like real life stuff anyway. This is just fun!

Posted: 3/9/2007 5:56:12 AM | When I'm digging through the rocks, I have to make sure that the diamond isn't embedded within one of them...nor that I throw away a gold nugget during my search based upon a the presumed truth that a diamond is in the midst of the pile.
During the approx 1 1/2 , I have been out with 6 people whom I have met on a dating site. 3 felt as though I was "their's" because of one date...1 of whom I have had to block because of Cyberstalking. Have one "treasure"...a most unusual situation where a great friendship evolved. 1 whom I've only met recently and seen twice...there are possibilities here...but I have no expectations at this juncture. 1 with whom I was able to establish a relationship which had great promise...until there was a committment to "monogamy"/ trial live together, and then the true colors shone through.
The culling is a mixed experience, but the key for me, is "don't have any expectations" other than to be who I am and to make sure my boundaries are well in place.
I have learned that not everyone is who they appear to be or even who they specifically state they are. "slippery slope". | |

Posted: 3/9/2007 2:43:53 PM | | I think I've been on about 120 1st dates or so in the past 2 years. But for some reason I always seem to get the unexpected. Take for example...Date #9 of 1 week saw me with date #1 earlier in the same week. She described me and the other woman right to the tee. Too bad I didn't even remember by then what date #1 was wearing, it was a nice memory refresher though.....lol | |

Posted: 3/9/2007 4:47:27 PM | | im very new to this site...but have met a few people off the internet....1 i really liked but things went totally belly up shall we say, a couple i wouldnt of liked to have met in a dark alley but most importantly ive made some good friends. i dont think internet dating works as ive found...and i maybe wrong...as i often am....but there is too much choice through the sheer amount of people that men and women talk too...ive found its a classic case of the grass is always greener and that not much effort has to be put in really to form a relationship as something better will come along. this is just my opinion tho x | |

Posted: 3/9/2007 4:53:07 PM | | I have had two. The first was a shocker when I saw him. Of course he looked nothing like his photo. He had not shaved in days, had on jeans from the 80's and his teeth were terrible (mental note: if their mouth is closed, ask questions about oral hygene and overbites) I am talking not just bad teeth....BUCKING bad teeth! He did have a nice Jag to ride around in but Im not all about "stuff" so I wasn't very impressed. The worst part is that his personality completely changed when we met in person. He complained about the waitress, the cashier, other peoples driving, every employee we came in contact with at the mall. Spending time with him left me with a terrible feeling of negativity and I couldnt wait to get home and brush my teeth. The second date was recently and was not exactly what I expected but he is a sweetheart and I see a "friendship" growing between us daily. | |

But alas i'm still single. Can't think why. 
I shall be embarking on more dates this year. Kiss a few frogs, i may get a disease from kissing frogs, but if the fairytale is real. I might find my prince charming. | |
