Posted: 5/29/2008 6:07:15 PM | I too have a great sucess story. I met Ken on here Oct 2nd. first and last date in November. We are getting married June 7th, 2008! What an amazing site. I have told all my friends about this site. Who would have thought that 2 people who lived in the same town all their lives would need a web site to bring them together.
Thanks POF! | |

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:12:08 PM | | HAHAHAHA! I don't mean to rain on your parade but seeing that you only joined this month, if you can say that in a month from now and even better, a year from now, I'll only believe it then. Thanks for the chuckle but really, good luck. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 3:10:11 PM | ohio, I see that others here have doubts for your 'catch so soon in this pond', but ultimately you and she are the only 'best judges' for who and what you care to have, and I wish you the best of success for your "pretty big plans" ahead.
I was on here for nearly a year before I found 'my line and reel whirring w/ great intensity' one day last October due to a woman who emailed me inquiring why I'd opted to select her as a favorite w/o my asking first ...and what "just a bad, bad, boy" does for a living.
Besides my still breathing for the latter, and explaining to her that this "daddy" here in TX chose to bookmark her profile after his son asked to have his turn on my computer ...not allowing me time for the asking, I must admit to being quite taken by it all and especially for her agreeing to meet me enroute to a destination yet to arrived at for what I was planning then. Funny how the unbelievable can be too true sometimes, and especially when it matters most ...w/o your realizing just then, how important it is to remain civil and polite despite all that might be affecting you otherwise. Good luck to you and all others who don't abandon hope or believing that better lies ahead of us. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 5:16:30 PM | LOL... oh my OP, the naysayers are jumping on you with both feet & I would like to apologize to you for this because, you see, I too have found the one for me here (& many other posters said/did the same to us)... Sometimes things are just beyond explanation & reason as we know it...one day, one week, one month, one year, one decade - is all relative & no timeframe need be in place for finding who/what the heart longs to know - sometimes it just is.
So congratulations to you & best wishes in seeing your plans through to fruition with your girl.

I'm sure in a certain perspective POF works for him, and that's all he's sayin'. | |

Ummm he's been on the site a half a month and he's 21 years old. If you want to contribute to that kind of insanity, it's your right to do so but don't be surprised when he's back in the forums b itching and whining because things didn't work out. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 10:44:22 PM | Many miserable people here.I'm thinking that saying "misery loves company" must be very true indeed. I can see why some of you are skeptical of this young man's thread of finding the one. He's young,probably naive,and so sudden. Instead of bashing him like a bunch of high school children,be mature adults and give him a little advice to not get his hopes up too quickly in the beginning of a relationship. Op, I'm very happy that you have found someone that makes you happy,but,by all means take it slowly and get to know this girl before making the big jump. Coming to a conclusion like this could cause a lot of friction between you two later on and before you know it the relationship has burned out.I wish you the best of luck and happiness | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 11:37:29 PM | first of all in your profile it still states your single and looking so thats not a good start.so your whole thing doesnt sound too serious right there.if your that excited of having found someone first of all put in your profile that u found someone or better yet take that darn profile out of here lol.
plus they said u only have been in here like a month lol
i dont mean to be negative but finding true l0ve on here after just a month is not very likely.yes you will likely meet someone nice after a month of being in here but it wont be your soulmate more than likely lol
im a romantic dont worry but u have to get down to earth and not make it more than what it is otherwise u will be seriously dissapointed in this site.
lol | |

Posted: 5/31/2008 12:06:11 AM | | Now be nice ya'll. Maybe he just didn't realize that he should be changing his profile once he found his "one". Maybe the roses he sent were to the same girl, anything is possible! We are not to judge, just offer an opinion or advice, maybe he'll choose to listen, maybe not. It really is his decision. I would just recommend that the two of you take it slowly before doing anything serious. You're very young and have all of the time in the world. If you have met your SO, best wishes to both of you! | |

Many miserable people here.I'm thinking that saying "misery loves company" must be very true indeed.
Because some of us see the problems with the OP's enthusiasm (for lack of a better word), that makes us miserable? Since when does having a head on your shoulders to see the likely problems with what he said mean a person's miserable? I'm a pretty happy woman and smart enough to know that the chances of finding "the one" on a dating site you've been on less than a month and that you're making "big plans" with her at 21 years old and still have up that you're looking for someone to date is unrealistic...
People who encourage him and tell him not to listen to us "miserable" people are the same kinds of people responsible for the horrific "singers" on American Idol. You know, the type to hear someone sing when they really suck and say "Hey don't listen to those people who say you can't sing, you go ahead and show everyone your talents" So the poor sucker who couldn't sing to save his/her life later auditions and gets to be the laughing stock of many countries.
There's a huge difference between being miserable and being realistic. When someone who knows better reads the OPs post, they'll tend to laugh when they see such absurdity... | |

Divorce lawyers are not starving for lack of business, thanks in part to all the people in the world who aren't "miserable". Does that sound miserable to say that? 
On a more serious note: Does anyone think that even if you could provide the most convincing evidence to the OP that his "enthusiasm" was misplaced at his age, it would make a difference? I think it's akin to telling a small child that the stove is hot and he shouldn't touch it. He won't really learn until he feels the pain of the heat. This is how lessons work in life and why we have feelings. | |

Some will listen the first time while others don't and won't. But it doesn't hurt to try to convinced this young person of the consequences he may endure. Then if this relationship of his doesn't work out he will remember what we said and perhaps follow our advice for now on. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 10:54:44 AM | | Carrela,I'm more realistic than they come but can also express a good attitude as well. I encouraged op to take it very slowly with this girl. I am being realistic in this statement. I'm not laughing at him and saying something like "it's not going to work,you don't know anything!"That would be a very rude and negative comment. Happy people don't want to hear that but they may be open for some friendly advice.And actually finding the one within a month can happen because it happened to me although it's not very common. But, no I didn't come to that conclusion the first weeks of dating.I can relate to your example of American Idol,but,this is not TV. This is personal and we should take this a little more seriously for the OP's sake. Be realistic but be nice | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 12:24:09 PM | | Bethany2911, I don't think I was being particularly mean in my original post, the OP might not like what I said but that's not my problem. I did find humour in the absurdity of his post. Regarding being nice, I'm generally nice but reserve it more for those who actually prove they deserve it and I no longer go out of my way to "be nice" to people who I don't matter to because they can just as easily turn around and be the lousiest SOB's to me. Furthermore, there's no point sugar coating everything and sometimes you just have to call it as you see it. It's not that I have a bad attitude, I just didn't see the point of encouraging him since the likelihood is that it won't last and he's jumping the gun. I didn't say it was definitely going to fail either, but chances are, it will. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 2:46:37 PM | hmmm... as I read the original post, the OP stated that the two of them are making big plans... so many here are making assumptions as to what those plans are to be. Did he say that they plan to marry? Sorry, I missed that, if that's the case....
How do we know that those "big plans" aren't to go to college together or to jointly seek a cure for cancer? Just give the guy a break... we shouldn't put words into his mouth (or text in this case) & make assumptions. And what if we never see him on pof again? What assumptions will be made then? hmmm?

Posted: 6/3/2008 9:18:49 AM | how can you all be so cynical...marriage provided my ex w/ the happiest day of her life (the day we married) and me w/the happiest day of my life (the day we split up). 
i'm justing kidding...my wife is a fine woman and we maintain a good relationship...our marriage just became counter-productive and we decided we would be better off apart.
good luck to the OP | |
