| | You still here?Page 1 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | After another relationship bites the dust, I really should learn, I am back on here!
Just how many attempts would you give it, and how long do you think you think is a viable length of time on here before you get the hint, months, years, a decade? | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 7:50:22 AM | | This is my 3rd time on here in 4 years-i only come back to here because of the forums,and also you get a much wider variety of women,from different area's,compared to other sites. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 8:01:32 AM | I'll be on here as long as I want to be on here.
I wouldn't give myself a deadline - not that I actually need to.
Once I'm bored, then I'll go. Until then, it's not important. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 8:21:50 AM | | I've been here about 3 and a half years and in that time,been in and out of short term relationships. I haven't done the dating side of this site for a long time purely because I think it's far less complicated to ask people out in person. A lot of people don't realise that there are 2 sides to this site,a dating side and a social side. You could like me,be here for years doing the social side but I wouldn't recommend anyone does the same for the dating side. The Internet is just one of the many ways to meet people. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 8:26:40 AM | I've not been on here long but haven't set myself a time limit, not sure why anyone would do that
Or is it that they think it is sad to be on a dating site for so long? I would imagine a lot of people are like me, they are looking for someone but also find the social interaction fascinating. Honestly.. I'm quite nosy too, or as I like to say 'interested' in people. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 8:50:17 AM | Yep!
I'm not a regular poster but I've been viewing this forum for awhile now and been on and off POF for years.
Although I'm off the dating scene nowadays due to work commitments (6000miles away makes it difficult) I'm still ever hopeful Ms Right is out there somewhere; so until then ........ | |

I set myself a time limit because i do not want to spend years looking for a relationship over the internet and also the fact that i do have a friend on here who has been here around 4 years and they explained to me although they have now given up, the site has become an addiction for them , that is something that i dont want , i dont want to be here because its become a bit of an addiction .I feel for myself that 6 months is long enough for me .
I dont care how long others have been on here that is their choice and NO i dont think they are sad for being on a dating site for so long . I respect their decison to be here for as long as they wish .One of the reasons i joined here is because i am new to yorkshire and until i know my way around a little more then using the dating site can also be a great way to make new friends . | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 9:27:24 AM | At the moment I m quite ok to stay on here for as long as it takes, I m happy a lot of the time just going on the forums, but I do still hope I ll meet someone special. I suppose on the date site side I ve ended up being pretty philosophical, so in that respect I don t have a time limit on it, it will happen when it does, and until then there s forums, and chatting to people if I choose to.
I do think some people see it as a success or failure if they dont get results within six months etc, and I just think thats unrealistic if you are hoping to meet someone you really click with, you can only put into place things that can make it a possibility, but then I think its very much in the lap of the gods!!! | |

I can relate top everything you have said on this subject. I think "addiction" is a very good way of describing these sites. It is an addiction which tends to make you lazy about spending time in the real world, which is particularly negative in the summer months!
Like you, I set myself a deadline when I came back onto this site. I will reach it within the next few weeks and I am pretty sure that, when I say goodbye again, I will not be back this time. There is a limit to the number of hours you can spent in front of a computer screen and even an eternal optimist such as myself has to recognise when enough is enough! | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 9:48:42 AM | I've been on here a fair few years now but in that time I have moved from Scotland to Lincoln to outer London. I don't really bother with the dating side of the site but have chatted to some really nice people. Some of my best contacts have been just before moving so we never got round to meeting (missed chances possibly but moves were already in hand).
I still have a visible profile, but haven't put a lot of effort into it, I think I am too used to being single to push myself forward. I stay around for the forums. I don't see being on a dating site for years as any different from going to pubs/clubs for years in the hope of meeting someone you connect with. It's just another opportunity that may or may not reap rewards. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 9:52:25 AM | I’ve been on and off more times than a light switch...
I don’t mind though, being very patient helps.
Though I went through a crazy period of dating loads of women, even had a thing for nurses...
I'm not sure what it is but there’s something definitely appealing about a nurse with a horrific sense of humour!
I’m taking a rest from it all. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 10:11:21 AM | lol.
Its all about luck thats all.
For me i had 7 dates with someone third date we agrred to delete are profiles i did she did'nt.
Once i found out i ask her why. She simple said no i'm not doing it i've changed my mind.
But wanted to carry on seeing me.
I said no and that was that....
For some people this site its like the air you breath a pure addiction.
and frankly i think unless you stop typing and start talking its a waste offf time being here.
The only winners are pof. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 10:36:34 AM | I've been divorced 6 years in July, initially I didn't want to be in another exclusive relationship and just dated for 4 to 5 years.
The last couple I've been single as the few relationships I did have did not work out due to cheating, lying and being treated like a mushroom (kept in the dark and fed a load of bullshit).
I've made peace with myself in that being in a relationship probably isn't going to happen again and actually prefer to live my life the way it is now.
So in answer to your question, for me it was two years. If the relationships had failed due to other reasons like incompatability and not the traits I detest then I would probably put more effort in but as it is, I'm simply cannot be arsed to put myself through all that shite again in the hope that it won't happen again. | |

Posted: 4/19/2012 11:03:51 AM | Yep. 
Like Almostnormal, I gave my self a 'time limit', and after that, took my pictures off, and 'hid' my profile.
I only stay to annoy people on the forums.... I mean to give them the benefits of my strange perspectives on life.
For the purposes of 'balance'.
WB Geez!

Ha, ha...aye right - that's what they all say!
Come June I'll have been here 6 years; been easily on over 200 dates (what a slapper I am!) from here, had a year long relationship from here, and I'll probably be here till the day I die.
And that's that!
(If I could get that date with the lovely LuluBella above, this could all get sorted! lol) | |
