| If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here? Posted: 5/28/2008 5:42:14 AM | | When I started dating someone from here, I thought is was going well so I stopped trying to meet anyone else. Then she dumped me (for her ex!), and I had to start over. I would have been much better off if I had continued meeting other women in this particular case. | |

Dating one person at a time may not necessarily be the best method for everybody.
If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here? The question is about being in a relationship not dating. Some people can date more than one person and be kewl with it. I don't, but that is me. But the question is about being in a relationship. A relationship is a step further than just dating. That is why I say get out of the relationship because if you feel the need to look, it isn't the person for you. | |

This is primarily a dating site, forum discussions aside.
Maintaining a presence here or any dating site sends a signal that part of you is still looking or unsure about the relationship. You may think it is innocent but all this place will do is distract you from the relationship.
If you are with someone special, you gotta stop putting yourself out there. | |

Unless your profile declares otherwise, maintaining a presence here means you don't feel that the person(s) with whom you have a relationship is the best you'll ever find, i.e. you haven't called off the search and you're open to whatever opportunities come along. | |

| If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here? Posted: 6/7/2008 6:22:37 AM | OPEN REPLY TO NO ONE IN PARTICULAR ,JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND MY OPINIONS ,SO NO OFFENCE MEANT TO ANYONE I often hear the saying ,it's not what we do but how we do it,well if this is the case then surely we need to question the validity of the question itself:d Its not what we do but how we do it One has to question what type of relationship he or she is in,in the first instance Secondly if you are a guy,how would you feel if your woman was meeting other men off here,and if you are a woman,the question goes for you too But then again what is being in a relationship in todays world,what defines it? I personally feel that if you choose to establish a relationship with someone else,respect of the persons feelings ,opinions and what have you ,need to be considerd from the onstart.If you feel the need to still meet other people whilst in a relationship,then maybe its better you get out of the relatonship entirely. What happens if things get out of hand with one of your meets off here,it can very easily happen,lol

very good post yes. put ur effort in the man you supposedly already have.. not a stranger... that is if u wnat to keep the one u alreayd have. I mean do u really love the perosn if u spend ur time chatting ot others instead of ur partner?? what kind of relationship do the two of u have?? | |

| If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here? Posted: 6/7/2008 9:37:40 AM | Talking is one thing...and I would be completely honest about my relationship. But meeting them? No way!...unless he was invited to come with me.
When I was in a relationship, though, my main pic was a pic of us as a couple, so I was very upfront about it. To be honest, I rarely even checked into POF when I was in my relationship...and I shared those emails with him, so he would have no doubts as to my integrity.

Posted: 6/10/2008 9:08:12 PM | | Bottom line if you think you found someone you want, and they want you the only way your going to really give the relationship a chance is to invest the time to that person not online with others. If your still here looking then thats a negative way to look at life and the relationship. How can something succeed if your expecting it to fail. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 4:42:05 PM | What gives? this is basically the same thing I asked in one of my posts, and your responses are alot more positive than mine were...(mine seemed to stir up alot of conflicting oppinions, etc) Cheers to you, cause I guess you must have "worded" yours much better than I did.  | |

| If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here? Posted: 6/12/2008 9:58:51 PM | I'm wondering if the man EVER gets off here. I'm seeing this guy, things are really good, then I see him on here, pics, whole 9 yards with a headline screaming 'i know you out there'. I protest, he says, it's hidden. He hid it from me, only. He just couldn't stop looking. Is it the number of favorites you get or the mental sex as someone said? Maybe I wasn't the one, but isn't that a slap in the face? | |

| If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here? Posted: 6/13/2008 9:55:36 PM | Everyone has a life prior to meeting someone they are currently dating. If you are on a singles site..like pof and have 'not looking..not interested' that would give a clear message...to some..but some do ignore this. "Friends" should be in the flesh all ready I think and not made from a singles site after you have commited to dating someone...and if you find your eye is wandering maybe you should look for someone else and let the person you are dating know this. | |
