Posted: 4/23/2005 12:36:13 PM | I met a few people off here, gained a friend, had nonexistant chemistry with another, and others were just meh-ish....but this week I met someone off here who messaged me asking if I'd like to chat and I actually said "sorry, you're too hot for me" (i guess I blame my low self confidence, but whatever) and he wouldnt let that be an answer, so we started chatting, and I gave in to meeting him, and we just clicked in some way I could have never imagined.
I met him on monday....it is now Saturday...and I've been staying at his place all week. it sounds so saptastic, but now i believe that love at first sight can happen.
the crazy part is we both feel the same about each other and actually talk about it (even though it hasnt been very long that we've known each other, we just connected in some way I didn't even think was possible), unlike most guys i've dated who never tell you anything about what they are thinking/feeling.
I've been in long term relationships before (one being 3 years long) and I have never felt like this about someone...this is just something else altogether and I can't even explain it. | |

Posted: 4/24/2005 12:26:00 PM | | I, too stumbled across this site by accident. Was actually looking for info on my salt water FISH aquarium, and this came up in the search. Its free, so I joined. Anyway, getting back to the topic, I did meet someone from this site... and we both didnt have pics on here at the time! She still doesnt, and I dont know why.... very lovely lady, and we had one very common interest, as she is a musician also. She was the one that initiated the contact, and after a few more e-mails back and forth since the "meeting", she has stopped messaging. In all honesty, im actually having more fun on the forums now, have interacted with some great people, and have had a blast. Think thats all i'll expect out of the site, as if I keep my expectations not to high..... one never knows what will happen! | |

Posted: 4/29/2005 8:36:32 PM | Nothing in my mail but spam. Nope, again today as most every day, nothing from PileO'Fish except read deleted or unread deleted. I have read statistically, that the ratio of men to women is five to one respectively. For every one hundred satisfied ladies leaves four hundred gents reading the deleted column of POF. But week after week, month after month, I see the same ladies, many of whom have done me a delete. So what I believe I am seeing here is a game being played by those specifically requesting no games allowed. The game has got to be musical chairs, the mating version. The lady is deluged with potential suitors, but instead of choosing one, she plays “Pop Goes the Weasel” while we dance around her mulberry bush as she takes the chairs away before the music stops. If, in fact, she does go out with a man, she is thinking ahead to another lined up the next day never getting to really know anyone at all.
About., about., that is, almost everyone in this pile, lives in the animation world of fair maidens and handsome princes. That is, that we are that maiden or prince and the other is standing (or sitting) by the pond in the lost forest, next to the castle, on the other side of the flowery meadow that the yellow brick road leads that we are skipping along, and yes Toto is there to, only to find we should have taken the third star to the left and go straight on till morning (that is, those of us that go straight).
Now where is this all leading? Nowhere! Exactly the place most of us have gone with this. The ladies by some confused choice. The men by unsurmountable overwhelming odds against them. What we enter into believing it will be a clear pond with plenty of fish ends up a dry mud hole, and a pile of fish. | |

Posted: 9/16/2005 6:41:33 PM | I have met several people here and feel very happy with who I have chosen to meet. One in particular is a lot of fun to hang out with. Nothing of a sexual nature yet, but that is not my priority, so I have to say I have had success, I have made at least one friend that I totally have fun with. | |

Posted: 9/16/2005 8:43:25 PM | | I'm here for chats and friends...so every day is a success for me. I have made several good chat-pals some of them are possibilities to meet in person in the future...if it lasts that long. I've been around the block enough to know that these email "friends" come and go like the wind. I never expect anything, and nothing surprises me. But I always enjoy it. | |

Posted: 9/19/2005 2:38:17 AM | I am glad that I found this thread, because this is me saying good bye, (I am closing my account) and thank you POF. A wonderful man contacted me just couple of days after he posted his profile. I was a member for a couple of weeks alredy. We are dating since, and our relationship is getting more loving every day, we are hoping for a long term. You guys ....just be patient and be true to yourself, that is the only way you are going to find the right person. If you are going to write your profile to look good, when it comes to meet the person, it wont work out anyways....so give and share what you are expecting to be given and shared by that significant other that you are looking for. Sounds simple to work ? It does . Good luck to everyone | |

Posted: 9/22/2005 4:45:22 PM | Here is my message for everyone. Don't give up on your dreams.
I just turned 37 and thought that maybe I was destined to be single forever or even just date a bunch until I died, lol. I had dreamed of hopefully getting married before I was 40, but it is creeping up on me fast. Just before I moved to Calgary, I had gotten a number of emails from different guys, but after I got here and had the computer hooked up there was a couple that still interested me. I messaged them back, a few days later I talked to them on the phone and I met one for lunch/snack. It was at that moment I suppose that I knew I was looking at the man of my dreams. He was everything I was looking for. After seeing him a number of times, he told me the same. Now I am seeing only him and he took me and my son out for my birthday, it was great. I don't want to date anyone else now and he told me he doesn't either. I am in love for sure.
Good luck to you all, you have to keep checking out those profiles and don't be afraid to message someone that peaks your interest, you never know what can happen. The person you were destined to be with might be right under your nose, all you have to do is take the risk of talking to them, you just never know. | |

Posted: 9/26/2005 3:03:13 PM | | I've met loads of cool people from here and made a few good friends :) | |
|
| oh yes, success!
Posted: 9/26/2005 5:57:52 PM |  I met someone who I can feel totally comfortable with and hope to walk the path of happiness with for a very long time. We both didn't spend a lot of "mail"-time and soon were absorbed in each other's eyes. It does feel wonderful to say "yes, this is a good place to meet that perfect person." | |

Posted: 9/26/2005 7:21:49 PM | Success is ongoing ... but feels very promising. I'd given up on the searches and stayed for the profiles. Milady was a newbie. She saw my profile ... and sent a message. Both of our profiles said we were looking for a friend ... so we kept it at a "just friends" level. I was interested. She was interested ... but we were both shy, I guess. Another POF member ... and a dear friend of Milady's had inside information. She gave me a heads up. I contacted Milady. Tim Horton's does pretty good out of us "first dates". Sparks flew and chemistry flowed right from the moment our eyes met. Some outside stuff has given us the opportunity to put down strong roots ... so we can weather what lurks on ahead. Today, we speak in terms of forever. Never say die ... 'cuz you just never know....

Posted: 9/27/2005 8:55:06 AM | Well YES, success stories here on POF happen, and its so nice to read about them, its even better to have one yourself...I came to POF last September..WOW, forever and a day I think, but I ventured into the forums and there I met [at least in writing] many very nice people. I became good e-pals with them, which is what kept me comming back...
Me email box was always full of emails from men who were quite frankly rather rude, or is it crude, anyways 97% got deleted, I talked to a few of the nicer men who wrote me and met a couple of them.....It never really worked out and either it was good for a friendship or we just dont email/talk anymore....Anyhow I was so fed up and ready to just totally hang up my hopes of ever finding my Soul Mate when I saw him, there he was in my top 10 men who checked their emails list....I had seen him on another dating site [True] where they match you based on your personality and all that...Anyhow I thought well maybe I will give it a shot, cant hurt right? So I wrote him, just something real simple like Hello, saw you on True and here thought I would write ya.... And what do you know he wrote back, and we started email/chat/phone conversations, we had alot of things in common, and there we go, we had to meet....So we did, and the connection was so there, and we have been together every since....We are planning on being married, the date has changed to Feb 2006, and the plans are being set....
So yes LOVE can happen w2here, when, and with someone you would least expect..... BEST WISHES TO ONE AND ALL.... | |

Posted: 9/27/2005 3:57:44 PM | | Almost forgot my story until i seen my dogs picture on the last page. I read this whole thing and damn theres alot of ****ing. I get replies when i message people about half the time. Im not looking to meet anyone yet, just seeing who all is around in my new town. And i messaged a girl who was on 150 plus favorites list and to my surprise she wrote back. Weve messaged back and forth for a few weeks, she seems cool and she is definatly good looking but i doubt we ever meet. I like to meet people in person. I think most of the complaints ive seen should get out of the house more, might have some better luck. Ive even had a few girls message me....kinda freaked me out, i didnt think that really happened. | |
