| | A Date In Maine???Page 2 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | I have been single for awhile now and I enjoyed it for awhile. Now winter is coming and the idea of being single all winter is enough to drive anyone crazy. For awhile I let friends try to set me up but that went horribly wrong more than once! Friends don't always think to tell guys what you look like. They say "she's cute." and "you'll love her" but they forget to say, she doesn't look like a barbie doll. Although I have no problem with the fact that I don't look like a barbie doll, I know lots of men don't like it. It's important to them and they should have been told ahead of time. I no longer let my friends try to set me up.
That said, I have been trying the internet thing for awhile and have had no lucky really. I believe in being honest and up front with guys before meeting them. I have a recent picture up and even a few from the past few years to show different ways I have worn my hair because I have been known to change it at a moments notice. I am completely truthful in my profile and would be just as honest in answering questions if someone actually messaged me.
I have seen a lot of other BBW on here that say they have no problems meeting men. I am having no luck in meeting people I would even want to be friends with forget about date.
So, to you gentlemen that are posting that you are having trouble meeting women in Maine, there are definitely women out there that are having trouble meeting men!
Good luck to everyone in Maine as winter draws closer!

Posted: 1/23/2007 6:26:14 PM | | The truth is, ever since I moved here from California I keep wondering how Mainers ever get together to procreate. It's so isolated. How do they meet and where? I've been here 6 years and I still don't really know. I'm thinking that most couples must meet in high school. It also seems that when people here are divorced or widowed they marry someone they've known for years in their small circle. I guess that's only natural. The other thing is that most people from "away" come here as couples. This is a gorgeous place and the people are good but it is lonely for a single person. | |

I feel your pain. Maine is a tough place for singles, and yes, I think most people come here as couples.
Maine is a beautiful state, but it will punish you! It's lonely, cold, and the jobs that are here don't pay enough to live well. Aside from that, it's just great!
Native Mainers are not very open, IMO. Their reservedness and retisence is well-founded, tho, once you get to know them they are great, as a whole. I've lived in other parts of the country and world, and have found Maine to be very nice - but it will take its toll on you unless you have a good network of friends. But, that's why we're here, isn't it? | |

Posted: 3/10/2007 7:01:29 PM | I met a great guy in Maine nearly a year and a half ago. We had a good connection, but it didn't last very long. He was very sexy but he kept saying that I had 'depleted' him! Well, duh! Good sex will do that to ya!
He also insisted that I come to Maine to be with him, he never once came to my city to be with me! I thought he was worth it at the time so I didn't object. I guess I shouldn't be objecting to it now either.
Dating in Maine might get easier for you POFers there if you began to plan group get togethers. Perhaps you could begin with a large coffee meet planned in some central location. Here in New Brunswick we do that all the time. Each city has a POF 'chapter' and plan coffee meets weekly, also we have pool parties, where we play pool for hours, and of course we throw huge parties in local clubs or pubs or bars as well.
Feel free to check out our forum threads any time you'd like to see some awesome pictures of those events. | |

Posted: 4/13/2007 8:06:57 PM | | The problem with me is that I am so far up North without a vehicle and it makes it hard to meet people. I am trying to get my license, I'm a decent person (at least everyone tells me that) and I am wondering where all the young men in Maine are and why they don't live up here lol. | |

Posted: 5/16/2007 5:59:33 PM | Most of them seem to be looking for people that live in Canada lol! 
I can see Canada from my front porch, if that isn't close to the border, I don't know what is lol. | |

Posted: 5/22/2007 7:56:35 AM | Which border town are you near? You could come across to meet a fellow, or he could do the same to meet you! We only seem to be interested in our own countrymen, once you bring love into the equation, all the other rules fly away! LOL
I am not located as near the border as your are, but I did make a 2 to 3 hour drive many times to meet up with a very nice man who lives near Calais, I think his area is properly called Red Beach.
I'll wish you luck in your search, and encourage you to never give up! | |

I have been divorced for little over a year...dated one from this site, lasted a couple months. Gosh he seemed so normal, maybe a little bit odd, or shy or something at first...as I got to know him, his true demons and childishness came out. So I break up with him because theres obviously something wrong. 2 days later my car gets paint stripper poured on it in the middle of the night....1 week after that DHS is called with a complaint!! I guess every state has it's weirdos...best get references and BE CAREFUL ladies and guys.
I have met this woman Sherry, when she was staying with my buddy at his mansion in Capehart of Bangor, I didn't think very high of her. While I disagree with the way he treats women, I know his alibi for the evening in question. Being a scumbag where women are concerned is a long ways from being a criminal.
It might have been one of the several other men she was seeing, when she was letting my buddy sleep over, that destroyed her car. My buddy paid her annual property tax last year and spent his spare time re-habbing her house. I was with him the evening he found out about her other activities and he took it well, but didn't surpress it. What he did do was go out with some drinking buddies to a club in Brewer the following evening, when the car was being destroyed.
I can't print what I was told, because statements without proof are liable in print. I have heard she hasn't fared too well since my buddy caught her playing the field still. I was with him the night he made the discovery, he dumped her, not the other way around. | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 6:31:07 PM | You know Bob....some of the profiles I read seem to be a bit confusing. I don't know if many guys can live up to the descriptions in the profile. I fully understand that there are way too many psychos out there, but it's not all of us. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive, but when a profile has a statement like, "Keep moving" or "Then just pass me by," I feel they are very hard to please. When I see a line like that, I stop reading.
Hey, maybe it's just me, I don't know. I also keep trying to remind myself all the weirdos are not just men. We have to be careful too. If I'm not making sense, please let me know. | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 8:29:51 PM | I am constantly suprised that Maine is so full of people who are single,
yet here so few are willing to mingle.
Typing words and hoping to get someone to give me a jingle,
maybe one to make my heart tingle! | |

| A Date In Maine???
Posted: 9/7/2007 8:29:38 PM | Oh no- you can get dates if you go to the grocery store- they're in the exotic foods aisle! LOL
Ok if you have time to go to a few hang outs or to join a club or two...you can get plenty of dates I used to do that......but I work too much now...
But trying to get dates from Maine Men appears to be something akin to pulling hens teeth. If you come to Maine, aim for the Mass/ NH men, seems to work better!!
:O) | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 5:30:13 AM | | I agree with you Shy- I've been divorced for 4 years, and I've only had one boyfriend, and that was 2 years ago. I get a few dates here and there, but it only turns out that the man is only interested in sex. GRRR that makes me angry. | |
