How long is too long for you to be on a dating site,actively looking?

I have been on this site for a little over a year now,lots of interesting proposal's,some tempting some not so much .

I see on some peoples profiles only here for the forums,I know for some that is their intentions,personnel reasons or in a realionship etc...

But what about the rest,down deep are you still looking?

Why are you still here?

I havn't been on here all that long myself. About two months now i guess. I had a few really weird messages sent my way so far. A few people not responding to my messages at all. And only in the last few days i've finally started talking to what could be a few decent fellas.

I honestly have no idea how long i will stay on this site. I was getting a little frustrated with it already. For me i think if i were to meet someone interesting and it progressed beyond casual dates i would be getting off here right away. But if nothing works out and i'm still searching, i guess it could be a while. I don't know if i would set a time limit or anything though.

I guess it would depend on if you found what you were looking for. If you find a match, why would you stay on this site. I would leave when I found one. If it does not work out, you can always come back to this site.
Just a thought.....

You know, funny thing that this topic has been started. I've been wondering the last few weeks whether to throw in the towel or keep trying. It's almost getting like going to the bars...all you see are the same faces...week after week!!!
I feel sometimes like it's not even worth it trying to get to know someone on here, because it never seems to work. Don't get me wrong, have met some really great guys on here..had wicked attraction..but...all they wanted was a f_ _ _ buddy!!
Maybe I'm responding to the wrong guys...maybe i should be responding to those guys that I'm not so attracted to..their probably the ones that will treat me wonderfully!! But, that could bring us back to another thread, the one about needing to have some kinda attraction there at first in order to be able to go on a date...or to even start talking back and forth!!
I don't know...would love some input...lol..good or bad

It's probably been too long for me, 2 years now I think? I've taken breaks but ended up coming back. And no, not even a nibble. So why am I still here? Interesting reading I guess.
I've pretty much given up on finding anyone on here. I don't need a load of bricks of fall on my head, I have read between the lines and even received a few messages telling me I'm not...well to put it in nice words....not a "catch". I guess they don't know what they are missing. But I'm used to the way it is here on PEI.

Sophieb223....would you really want any of those guys that would be soooo full of themselves to criticize someone elses appearance so blatantly. That really ticks me off you know...thats all it takes is one miserable comment from some shallow prick to destroy our self confidence.
You know , it would be so nice to sit here and say that every guy on here thinks i'm cute...but i'd be sadly mistaken. I've messaged a few guys on here myself, and have had no reply back. So, what does that tell me..well, it tells me they don't think i'm so cute...lol
You've givin me new strength to kinda push forward and play this waiting game...Here you are, still making the effort to try and meet your soulmate, even after being "dissed" by some losers...I think you rock!!...don't give up, he's out there somewhere..hopefully reading your post...and saying...geez...I can't believe someone would say that to her .........etc
anyways...thats my 2 cents

Hi curvy 68,I've met those guys God love them,they think their doing me a favor by being my friend.


I have read between the lines and even received a few messages telling me I'm not...well to put it in nice words....not a "catch". I guess they don't know what they are missing.


Your right sophieb they don't know what their missing,I wouldn't lose any sleep over men that are so rude!

As for me my time is coming to a end,it has been interesting at best,but soon time to go into the real world,where a real man says what he means and means what he says!

thank you so much for those positive comments!

So many times wanted to give up, but just stuck around. Even reading forums is great way to learn from others going threw similar things in life, and maybe even learn a thing or two. I have to admit, sometimes, I'm not sure what is worse, getting no msg's, or receiving one from out of the blue that is just hurtful.

I forgot what real positive comments can feel like, and they feel good, and even heart warming...thank you so much

Somehow this thread has switched to Sophie and I would just like to add that there are so many Humpty Dumpty's looking for "Barbie" that it's becoming almost laughable.
