| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/28/2007 2:26:35 AM | | as soon as they walk in the joint. 5 seconds. we've already established a connection by email. we've already talked on msn. we've already heard each other's voices and had intelligent conversation on the phone for a few hours. bonus if they have a web cam so you can see what they really look like before hand, without the benefit of putting up their best photo from some xmas party 4 years ago. the meeting simply puts them in 3D and its as defining as meeting a stranger in a nightclub or pub or on the street...the chemistry is inevitable, or it's not there. to me, all the first meeting is about is to establish they are as attractive to me (and I to them) as the photos would have us believe. lots of magicians online (you know the type...magically gain 10yrs or 40lbs from photo swap to meeting). if it's all good, the coffee meeting can last all day. or, if all is good for both parties, lead to a real date. I've met lots that simply ended up as friends. the 'click' wasnt there, but we had so much in common that we keep in touch and get together as bud's on occassion. also met lots that I couldnt pick out of the Tim Horton's lineup because their photos were so damn old. those ones, never hear from me again. "I was hoping you'd look past my age seeing as we got along so well on the phone"! well babe, you're still a bullshitter, and that's not what I'm lookin for ~ adios!! all this rambling and explaination, but the final answer is still...5 seconds! | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/28/2007 2:19:13 PM | | Just to let you folks know. Based on pictures on here alone,you meet some folks and might just have to them a great BIG HUG. I fall for smiles too. Th0se Lips need kissing? Humour be contagious. You crack me up online,whatever might happen if we meet. I think we might just gtet-along as well as we both like. Lines I use online to hopefully lead to meetings. Do so because going out to events don't seem to work. Coffee can be pretty damn freaky alright. Intimacy comes after clickage. | |

another of those it's different every time questions, sometimes it's instantanious other time it might be that every time I see you ..you look better to me.
As I get to know you, you become more attractive to me or vice versa... | |
|

We might get-along,just never even be friends,get it? Why go away. Do as you both may please,if you please. P.O.F can stand for many things. Leave it totaly up to your imagination. GO FOLKS GO. There be Folks on here you may actually even know. Meet them and who knows. | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/28/2007 5:36:00 PM | *spewing coffee.. omfg.. ot..being a heterosexual male, I wanna make every woman I meet. Nothing complicted about it. In fact I shy away from complicated things like .. feelings .. discussion .. thinking... At my advanced age, I can tell pretty fast about someone. This isn't high school (even if slightly high school like) No need to hold hands for 6 months to be sure this is 'the one' Alarm bells go off early, or not. Nothing ventured nothing gained. | |

Having said all that, I do think it is possible for people to grow on you, especially when you are meeting them, as friends, rather than potential partners.
This has happened to me. This is how my husband and I started. He was definitely not the type I would normally have been attracted to, but as I got to know him, it did develop. Now I'm willing to at least give it a little time. Having said that, there are some people that I just don't want to invest my time in even as a friend. There seems to be NO connection, no common ground to build on. | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/28/2007 7:33:28 PM | | That could be kinda scary. She be from CanuckLand. Worse than being from Rocketland. It might be such a secret . Or even online teasing. Won't push too hard,is she an Angel or a Devil? I don't go that far to find what I might be seeking. I can tell already she likes to just be herself. You can tell damn fast who be worth pursuing for any reason whatsoever. | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/29/2007 8:41:31 AM | Thanks BCboy..you have officially created a monster and I'm now livin the nightmare of havin a "number one fan".
Nut, don't take him seriously, he means well but the meds haven't kicked in yet and frankly he's as delusional as you are. Take your blocks, crawl under your blankie fort, listen to your 80's music (crap) and by all means..pretend as I do that you don't exist in my world.. Thanks and have a nice day..
You are so dead D! | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/29/2007 1:28:07 PM | | No worries.I can't be a monster but maybe you be a real Angel. Just to let you I don't become a fan easily. You have to really earn that priviledge. I don't take noone frrom Clearwater seriously and I know lots of folks up there. Not delusional just a pot stirrer. Why would I do that? just replying to your posts makes my day,thanks back and you have a nicer day. See how fast we become forums buddies. | |

Well ya be having to be stirring the pot so that the big pieces of poop like nut dont be sinking to the bottom.As mentioned before nut...

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/29/2007 1:43:06 PM | Hee hee. Well archeangel, sometimes it helps if you just admit your true feelings. Denial doesn't do anyone any good. Just pull up your socks and get working on earning that priviledge. LMFAO. Sorry, couldn't resist. And your right, bcboy is eeeeeeeville.
*runs away laughing maniacally before archeangel can catch her*
muwahahaha | |
|
| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 3/29/2007 4:47:43 PM | | Does it now? Denial... let's not go there. Folks be pulling-up more than socks and earning really fun priviledges. Some things be simply irrrestible. BcBoy not be evil,just a damn cool hickboy who gets awayf rom the sticks alot and takes cool folks along for the fun. Laugh away and catch whoever you please for whatever you may please. Stir the pot too much and you might be suprised what occurs,BRING IT. | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 4/2/2007 9:24:04 AM | When I was a child my parents used to tell me that girls matured faster than boys. I took it for granted that they meant always. I am now finding out that that only holds true to the age of thirteen then they get stuck there till about 43. You can sit there for thirty years petting your **** (cat) waiting for Brad Pitt, or one of the Hardy Boys (depending on era) to slide off the wall and pet it for you. You people who figure you can judge the person you are potentially going to spend the rest of your life with in 30 seconds are disillusional. All your really judging is LUST. Lust is an important seed of selection perhaps, but it is just a seed. It doesn't determine the outcome but rather if there is a start. Love is a plant that must grow, from a seed perhaps, but not neccessarily a lust seed. You are not judging in 30 seconds if you have a life partner as much as if you don't. | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 4/2/2007 9:40:42 AM | When I met my fiance, it was love at first - well, okay, second - sight. Before him, when I was dating from POF, I had previously talked with the people I dated before meeting them in person... and I didn't meet them unless I thought there was potential for it to go further. With the many friends I have made through POF, it was truly magic! The sisterhood was instantly welcoming to me, and from there I knew I had made a great bunch of new friends! :) After that, the brotherhood (which is a MUCH more select group to me!) started to materialize. Friends or otherwise, the time I've spent with POFers has been great!!! There are LOTS of great fishies in this particular sea :)

I can say for me ,it's either there right away or its not. I feel the same--1st impressions mean a lot
 | |
|
| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 4/2/2007 10:13:56 AM | there right away or its not.
Sure, you can tell if it's NOT right away, but how can you possibly tell if it's THERE ? LUST? Or life long LOVE? Sorry, guess I should edit my previous post regarding maturity to read 63 as opposed to 43 so as to include you. | |

| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 4/2/2007 1:07:04 PM | Well, things are becoming much clearer. Now, it is'nt so amazing to realize why the majority of us are doomed to be single for a very long time, when the majority of us(from the previous comments) can't even get a foot out the front door. I believe mach1nehead has done the best job of explaining my feelings, but that dosn't seem to be the majority's feelings. Not a surprise, since I rarely run with that majority crowd anyhow . I'm still sticking to that speed dating theory, now that I see that the majority can figure out the potential of a potential partner is such a short time. There must be a "new and improved" crystal ball out there. Anyone know where I can buy one???? | |
|
| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 4/2/2007 1:20:17 PM | | I could tell right away if someone was nice, polite, good looking, etc... but I couldnt tell if they were "the one" The thought of having someone out there was pretty dim as life took a synical turn. Then talking to my man online and in person, I finally knew what meeting "the one" felt like. It wasnt physical because I was on the Island and he was a Mainlander, but I was addicted to him.... more psycologically I suppose. I had to have more, I had to talk longer to him, I had to stay up all night racking up my phone bill just to laugh with him and to hear his laughter and his voice! I still to this day have to get up "stupid early" to see him, or he has to stay up late to see me, but I still cant get enough of being around my man! All this from chemistry at first sight! | |
|
| How Fast Can You Tell? Posted: 4/2/2007 1:27:52 PM | | I can tell be getting to know some folks online that we might just get-along as well as we both like in person. Meet or even just see some in person and know they can't even be friends,maybe hang-out and share laughds but that is all. Clickage just happens both online and in purpose. Some people you can just never,ever forget,done that three times in relationships,never,never ever say never again. | |
