| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 6/11/2005 2:27:38 PM | | I have gone out with a couple guys from POF, one I still care deeply about as a friend. But there are not enough people on here from Iowa or in my area of Iowa to do more then make chat friends here. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 6/12/2005 10:20:59 AM | | lol I decided it was time to let people see me and retire the drunken kitty to the background. I had better luck when I started just looking to make new friends. All I can figure out is that it made things less intimidating. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 9/28/2005 7:40:55 AM | A sucess story gone over board!!
What should have been just a friendship from a distance, has gone from one extreme to another! Way too quick!! Love is like a flower... it needs alot of sunshine and rain to make it grow. Just knowing someone after seven days, and thinking your head over heels in love. Is just an illusion!! Life isn't a race track, you don't need to speed to get ahead. Take your time, get to know the person. Besides, how could someone possible know without actually meeting face to face? Personally, I know where my life is...and that's right here beside my two boys.

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 10/1/2005 11:19:02 AM | Well I am your boarding neighbor so I thought I would share a little about this. I have only met one person off of here and she ended up being someone who would just end up using you. Sure as heck don't need that again in my life.
BUT there is someone in IA that I am very curious and interested in getting to know. I just hope she can find it in her heart to give me a chance or possibly even give us a chance. :-) | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 11/18/2005 3:35:41 PM | Yes I had the best sucessas far as you can see but by now I've learned you cant put love and sucess on the same line love will fade away at a point and time if the click isnt there to where sucess is for ever its something you earned through accomplishment men/women dateing isnt always sucessful its the love with in you know who Im talking to.I Love you with all of my heart.

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 11/18/2005 3:49:43 PM | to Larry
We have what it takes to make it work. I love you with my heart and soul you know that! Now stop it you made me cry. I had such a great time being with you it was so hard to leave but you know I'll be back for good really soon. You really do complete me and I'm sooooo thankful we found each other. I can't wait till you hold me and I can feel safe in your arms again!
love your girl. XoXoXoXo Shawn  | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 2/1/2008 9:22:55 AM | | It's been a long time since anyone posted on this board. Is there any success stories? My luck hasn't been anything to talk about.....lmfao. Good Luck to all! | |
|
| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 2/5/2008 2:46:09 PM | | Nobody is posting on here because I guess everyone is having the same kind of luck. Shitty. So if we can't get to know people on here where is someone suppose to go. Not in to finding one in the bar. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 5/28/2008 7:52:27 PM | | Here is an idea.Instead of talking about doing something ,someday,somewhere,with somebody,why don't a couple of the women on here who are always busy set aside one Friday or Saturday night a month to meet in a bar/restaraunt somewhere within an hour of where they live.If no one shows up just go home, chalk up another wasted night.But if you do meet someone great,,,it seems like some of the people on here want a grand scale get together encompassing every unattatched person in the state.As it seems like the women always have what they say is a busier schedule,how about a SIMPLE get together within a realistic distance that you would regularly drive for a date. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 5/29/2008 6:22:31 AM | | I guess I'm not really understanding what you are getting at iowa44. I don't have trouble meeting people if that is what you are assuming and yes I do go out usually once a month to socialize, but never chalk it up as a wasted night. It's a night out, enjoy it. Everyone needs to make time for themselves, it's just sometimes it never is as quickly as you would like it to be. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 5/29/2008 8:18:20 PM | | The simple facts are that it seems like the grander the planned event the less likely it will ever come to fruiyion.A couple of my better relationships have come from simply meeting someone for a drink after work and seeing if we want to see each other,but rarely do I meet someone at a big overly planned event. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 6/6/2008 10:21:25 AM | Man I've got girls hangin' off the girls on each arm, that's why I'm still here!
Yeah, not much really. I've had some dates, made some decent acquaintances but not really finding the attitudes/personalities that I pursue for romance. I recently made a bold decision to make my profile do a better job of discouraging the undesirable personalities but it's yet to be seen if it actually attracts the ones I want.
I think more than anything, my hope should be that this service exposes me to more people than I could possibly meet in the natural selection process and might - MIGHT - improve my odds. 'Least thats the theory...
Good luck to you and all. | |

| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 8/18/2008 3:01:07 AM | | I find that I tend to be looking for different things than most people on here. But nonetheless, I've e-mailed quite a few, met a couple, and it's been a good experience overall. | |
|
| any sucess stories out there???? Posted: 9/5/2008 5:29:59 PM | | I have looked at POF as an avenue to make connections with others and build positive relationships. I have met so many wonderful people in person. These people have been locals as well as long distance. I have enjoyed and valued each person. I encourage you to be positive and to let things happen, allow yourself happiness and enjoy the journey to finding love. It is possible! | |
