| Just tired of being lonley...
Posted: 7/11/2004 8:50:33 AM | | Ok, I'm gonna put myself out there. For the past few years I've worked extremely hard to get to where I am in my job. I've had to sacrifice my personal life to get situated professionaly. I hate going to bars/clubs to meet girls because of the smoke and the noise makes it impossible to talk. I'm trying this out, but I have little faith that it works. It's all I ever hear from people all over that internet dating is great and people hook up all the time. Maybe it's just me. But like I said, maybe by putting myself out there will attract what I'm looking for. I'd love to find someone.... | |

There's a great song with the line:
''you got to sing like you don't need the money,
dance like nobody's watching....''
Its something I try to live by, you gotta take the chance and try or you'll never get anywhere. Live good, make the best of your life as it is right now, and things come to you.
Good luck with your search. :)

He joined an internet dating site over 3 years ago and he met a wonderful woman. He posted who he was and what he is interested in along with his photo. By the way, he is just an ordinary hard working man just like yourself. Not overly handsome but pleasant to the eyes ";-) | |

Posted: 7/11/2004 10:54:18 AM | | Thanks for the responses guys...and for the record, I'm not against this type of thing I just have no experience with it. I'm up for anything and am open to anything happening so we'll see what happens. I hope people that do this are honest and open. | |

Posted: 7/11/2004 10:45:25 PM | | Thanks Ticket, The quest has hit some snags already. I've mailed about 15 girls...no response even when I asked for a response just to tell me they aren't interested. We'll see after some more time. | |

Posted: 7/12/2004 6:46:49 PM | I don't know if I'm actually looking for someone " in a chat room " perse ....
BUT... I am looking to meet someone. For me, it's pretty hard to meet people too...
Being a single mom.... even tho my daughter is 15...
I still find it hard... to meet new people. Who are accepting of a single mom, and who are even willing to just meet for coffee !!!
I don't hang out at bars either... tho I do love to dance, and so it would be nice to get out to a dance club, just to dance ya know ? Work off some stress... have some fun !
When I was a teen, and in my early 20's, I had nooo problem meeting people at all.
But now, well... it is hard. Or else the people I do met are either too weird, or freaky, lol
Or just not my type. Orrrr they're looking for a one night fling... WHICH I AM NOT.
Just read what my profile on here says... it says it all...
I also posted a profile on a site called " BOOK OF MATCHES "
Anybody interested, might want to check that site out too... it's kinda neat... !
I've recieved replies, but mostly from guys who live wayyyyy too far away....
like New York... Libya, California, London, England ! None of the local guys even reply to me !!!
It's weird.... and discouraging. Because Yeahh, I do get lonely for a companion... someone to go out and have a fun evening with, and get to know them better.... and if we'd click, it could turn into something special....
But thus far.... nothing.
I don't feel that I am an ugly, or strange woman... my profile is honest, sincere and to the point... I am out going, have a silly sense of humor.... So then what's the problem ?
Who knows, ehhh ? But yeah, it does suck sometimes.... these long lonely Summer nights.... when I am bored, after a long day of cleaning in my Condo... { i am caretaker }
And I think, geez, it's too bad I didn't have a date or something.... it would be nice to get out... But I'm not fond of going places alone, and all my closest friends are married or moved away...
So, ummm, yeah... I am looking for love... not specificly in a room on here... just wherever I someday find it, or it / he finds me.... Tammy

Posted: 7/12/2004 9:13:40 PM | | Thank you Black Cat. That was truly honest, and if i may say, incredibly sexy. If there is one thing that i find attractive its honesty. you could be a model and if you are fake it means nothing to me. I feel the same way about meeting people. i used to have no problem hitting the bars and meeting people. now i want to meet the long term girl and not just the one time girl. thank you again for you kind honesty. | |

Posted: 7/12/2004 9:33:25 PM | No problem... that's meeeee, honest... I tell it like it is.... from the heart, soul and mind.
But in a kind way.
And nope, me... a model ? Yeahh right, lol
I'm too casual, to be a model... t - shirt , jeans kinda girl... hair messy sometimes, and i don't always care, lol... I don't need to look PERFECT.... ya know ?
I am just carefree, down to earth... me. ; )
You live in Calgary huh ? Too bad, that's still kinda far....
But oh well... we can still chat here... | |

Glad to hear you're giving it a chance, and the best of luck in finding somebody, the internet can be fun but don't get so swept up in thinking "I'll never date this person" because you can meet a lot of good friends on here too, who knows, maybe something will develop with one of them...? Kay? Kay! | |

Posted: 7/14/2004 11:35:05 AM | | Like I have said before, I'll try anything. For the right opportunity and person I'll give it my best if I recieve the same in return. Thank you for your kind words Miss Teeq, and if you are ever in my neck of the woods (this goes for all of you here in tv land) drop me aline and I'll show you the sights. | |

Posted: 7/14/2004 1:33:55 PM | | Maybe you should stop looking and just let "it happen". Like my mom always said to me.. "When you're looking for something you find it when you're NOT looking for it." | |

Posted: 7/14/2004 4:52:53 PM | | Ya man, thanks for the advice but I gots to agree with Ticket, the more poles you put in a lake...the better chance you get to catch the big one. I've done the wait and not look, but that didn't work either. I've found that girls dig a guy who's a bit aggressive and goes and gets what he wants. So i'll try this for a bit. Thanks for your comments though. | |

Posted: 7/14/2004 9:51:15 PM | I agree very much with Damiana (a great herb as well, btw :-)
Attitude makes a *huuuuge* difference... Though, it's a bit of a catch 22. Not meeting anyone is discouraging & feeds a negative outlook, which affects chances of meeting someone, which keeps the outlook negative, etc...
If you could manage to build some really positive energy within, and keep it going with a little patience, you might open a path for someone compatible to be drawn to you...
It will take some work/effort, but if you met someone, it would be well worth it :)
Best of luck...

Posted: 7/15/2004 5:33:28 AM | Youre right there Buddy, I've seen me sit here and send out 15 or more Hello emails
you always get a few replys back, then go from there, but it would be a lot better if the girl tells you, thats she's not interested in you, or she is over 200lbs.
just keep going and don't take it seriously, its all fun & games, till you meet the right one then its just fun. | |

Posted: 7/15/2004 6:11:54 AM | Thanks for the replies everyone. I agree with Billyking, but I don't care what they look like or how much they weigh. I have preferences sure, but as long as someones honest with me, i'll give anyone a chance to win my heart. Personality means a great deal to me, and to be honest, I love all women. Big, little, heavey, light, any color, anything at all, it all depends on their honesty and personality. Thanks again everyone.

| Re: Just tired of being lonley...
Posted: 7/15/2004 8:22:39 AM | gentlebear17, not even a week ago I received an e-mail from a woman not even a mile away from my place, giving me address, phone number, and what is a good time to come over.
Give it time. All sorts of stuff can happen. Some of it will blow your mind. | |

| Re: Just tired of being lonley...
Posted: 7/15/2004 9:14:06 AM | | Thanks for the confidence boost guys. I'm glad you liked my profile Zee. Good for you Ticket!! It gives me faith to see someone actually make a connection in here. But now my faith has been renewed and I can expect writers cramp cause I'm gonna send send send send send. Look out ladies, here I come. | |
