| Would you leave the dating sites if you got in a serious relationship?
Posted: 5/17/2008 3:35:39 AM | God no way - why leave the site - could meet someone better if you stay on the site - could pick up a F*ck buddie or two, and mess around a whole lot of single people who are looking for dates.
Why on earth would people already in a couple want to leave a site?? Its so much fun taking the pee out of single people.
I MEET THEM ALL THE TIME, I am sure I am a magnet for them  | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 11:10:38 AM | I would not leave the forums, but I probably wouldn't be spending much time on here if I did get involved with someone.
At the moment I've effectively removed the dating element off my profile, even though I'm not officially in a "committed" relationship right now, but that status could change, we just haven't decided to take that step. | |

We have met ppl here who are platonic friends of ours now, and that's been great. If we get emails from ppl we either respond kindly with explanation or remain silent. We don't lead anyone on | |

I have had boyfriends that would keep on chatting to other women on the net claiming they are still single and it's so hurtful.
I find it amazing that you even have to ask this question in the first place :) | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 3:46:11 PM | I think if I found the RIGHT one, with ALL the right chemistry, NO DRAMA, No Baggage, and everything clicked, I'd either hide it (until I was sure that was 'the one'), or if I felt sure about the situation, I'd delete it completely.
At the very least I do think its polite to change the status if you think that things may turn promising. Either that, or take a break and don't log into the dating sites.
People are different everywhere, and there are things like Forums and Chat Rooms which are a nice place to stay in contact with friends, and I think as long as the person you were interested in was ok with this, and you were open about things, I don't see how it would be a problem.
The only problem, perhaps, is if you are interested in someone who has a tenancy to be on the Jealous side, and I can see where an online dating account could pose a problem...
It's a choice that you and your perspective mate need to be open about and discuss evenly. Athough to a gal, seeing the profile either deleted or up-dated sure does make a positive impact on a relationship...

Posted: 5/18/2008 5:58:32 PM | | There's the "not single/not looking" choice that you can put on instead of "single, divorced, married or rather not say". How about it for those of you who haven't found this one yet? I think next time I'm dating someone seriously, I'll keep my profile up so that I can still read and participate in the forums but will change it to reflect my status. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 7:19:30 PM | | the profile would poof immediately, it takes time coming online , reading through posts...time I would rather spend being with my significant other in reality if I were to find her. I'd much rather be posting to dpreview.com or richarddawkins.net as far as forums are concerned anyway. ;) | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 8:11:38 PM | Interesting question, since I am now faced yet again with this issue. I have met someone I would dare to use the phrase WONDERFUL. He is interested in a serious relationship with me. I am beyond happy by this event. However, I have changed my profile to reflect, "Not single/Not looking" and looking for "Friends" only, I've also made a note on my profile that goes to show I am not looking to meet anyone else. However, what has happened, is I still receive emails daily from men who are interested and want to be my BACK UP in case all else fails with my current handsome man. So, I have decided, that even though I enjoy the forums, I will go. I also think there is some truth to the issue mentioned about trust. I am very upfront and honest, but also believe it's important to keep out of situations that look or could be construed as dishonest. So, staying on a dating site, while seriously dating someone, even though all you may do is post on the forums, still looks, and could be taken as keeping your options open. I will be happy to leave this site, especially knowing it might make my new beau feel more at ease.
Good luck!! | |
