| Will you give up the personals if you find one that sticks?? Posted: 11/23/2006 10:31:39 PM | i think its an addiction for some .. i know ive been guilty of it .. i wont even be looking for anyone however .. never do a search .. or read about people .. i wont even reply to the ones that do mail me .. i suppose its an ego thing .. just to see if you CAN get noticed .. expecially when the person your with doesnt seem to notice...
and .. another thing (this i havent done) .. some people think they can settle with what they have until something better comes along... and you cant find soemthing better if you stop looking. jerks | |

| Will you give up the personals if you find one that sticks?? Posted: 11/23/2006 10:35:08 PM | Yes, I definitely would. But I have to agree with everything you just posted. It seems to happen to all of us!! So many men say they would, but then continue on here and other sites while they are telling a lady that she's the only one they want to be with. I don't get it, does anybody else???? | |

| Will you give up the personals if you find one that sticks?? Posted: 11/23/2006 11:11:20 PM | | MOST DEFINITELY!!! I may be goin out on a limb by even posting on here..but here goes..If all goes well for me, I hope to be able to give up POF and all the other sites I am on, real soon! I would do it right now if he were to say that he would like our relationship to go to the next level. He makes me laugh when I am with him and when we are not together, I miss him terribly!! He is sweet and caring and respectful and incredibly passionate! We have been getting together every so often for over a year now, and it doesnt seem either of us is getting bored with each other..thats a good thing, right? I am afraid that if I bare my soul to him...which I have begun to do a little at a time this past week..if I tell him how I feel, he may flash the yellow lights and say "WHOA THERE...this isnt what I am looking for!!" ...and not want to see me anymore....he says I can tell him anything and it wont change what we have "right now"...I take that as a caution...dont mess with something that isnt broke type vibe...I dunno...I just know that I am tired of the computer dating thing, although I wouldnt have had the amount of fun I have had over the last 2 years..it is starting to get old! If you dont hear from me again and my profile is "deleted"...then ya know he feels the same and we are movin' on!! ABIG THANKS TO the site we met on, of course!!! | |

| Will you give up the personals if you find one that sticks?? Posted: 11/24/2006 1:28:28 PM | Absolutely. A good relationship would trump a personals site in a heartbeat. If I'm liking forums, there's other places to read/write that aren't dating/meet people sites. Ultimately no matter what you put in your profile about being in a relationship, there's always people out there who would like to 'change your mind' about it. (Believe me!) But if we both kept profiles up, that's okay too. You trust or you don't. But I'll admit I'm not letting myself get truly serious/trusting about anybody that keeps a profile up stating they're looking for relationships. | |

I suppose there's two sides to this coin though. Plenty of Fish has become more than just a "personals/dating site" for many, especially in Ontario. In fact there are a lot of couples who end up with a profile together or they keep theirs up, mainly for the forums, parties and to keep in touch with friends (although that's what email and phones are for...). If you're in a healthy, trusting relationship and you are upfront about that on your profile, should this really be an issue?
At the same time, why are you wasting your time playing on the computer and not nurturing that relationship? I would much rather be snuggling up to someone than tinkering around on here! Some may also still thrive on the attention of receiving emails from those who think they could potentially catch your eye and steer you away from the person you're with... pretty sad!!
To each their own... Personally, I can't wait for the day to hear "Let's get the hell outta here" and delete my profile, although I think I'd miss the forums a wee bit!!

| Will you give up the personals if you find one that sticks?? Posted: 11/24/2006 5:23:28 PM | | Yes I will leave the personals if I found a good relationship that sticks. I've done a couple times already thinking I ran into one only to have them throw the pie in my face with one big red flag I couldn't ignore. Now I'll wait until they ask: "Will you marry me?" | |

| Will you give up the personals if you find one that sticks?? Posted: 11/24/2006 10:21:41 PM | Yes I would give up the personals for sure if I found a good relationship that sticks. I mean the forums are just fun on here but If it would make my partner feel better I would leave the site. I would expect the same in return. On the other hand there should be trust if it a good relationship. If you are honost with each other it could be okay. Go on together an have some fun on the forums! I wouldnt expect them or me to be on gawking and hitting on others though. Once you find somebody you think you can be with for a long time you should nurture that. 100%  | |

| A bird in the hand is useless if you want to blow your nose Posted: 11/25/2006 2:05:54 AM | I would give up looking for a woman
I would like to contribute to the forums still and I would show her what way i contribute, and what i get from it - she may herself decide too as well, though i am sure it would be for what maybe 30 mins a week at the maximum -- rather then living on here ( I need a life )
but if she said stop all POF activity 100% well then
Sianara Sex Seekers ( bahahahah just kidding )
I would close up my account and not return | |

| A bird in the hand is useless if you want to blow your nose Posted: 11/25/2006 2:32:18 AM | | Isnt that what a dating site is for,to find someone to date? If the right man comes along, I would remove my profile, and not even think twice about it. I get so bored with the computer thing. I want a real person, not a picture and words. If he decided he didnt want to give up POF. I would probably move on.. I deserve better than that! | |

When his profile is gone or modified appropriately, I'll be more inclined to give myself wholly. I'd even think about maybe wanting to consider ditching the forums! | |

Posted: 11/28/2006 12:55:53 AM | I think you should do a little snooping around on their P C just to see if they are still looking on another site . while your at his/her house, say for example . I need to pay my CC bill online if you dont mind , and while your there see how many IM's pop up , and maby even check the history ,favorites, roboform , ect. Remember alls fair in love ,and war . not sure if it counts when their Bi.  | |
