| IS THIS LAME??
Posted: 2/21/2005 7:06:35 PM | Ok I originally went on this site because I was browsing being bored at work...but now im finding myself coming on here everyday in hope that I'll find that someone special.
I'm starting to feel lonely, however it's taken me so long to admit it...but i shouldn't I'm only 18...(feeling 30 mind you). I'm surrounded by the most gorgeous friends (all couples  ) and that can bring you down...I've worked soo hard on my life career wise that I haven't had the time to really get to know anybody on a romantic level.
And then I'm oh so picky...which makes it twice as hard.
Is it lame that im relying on the cyber world right now to place that special person in my life??
Has this what its come to.... | |

Posted: 2/21/2005 7:09:26 PM | Well, it might not be polite to say it's lame, since there are lots of people on here who are here for the express purpose of meeting a special someone...
Don't worry, you'll get a lot from here --- whether it's friends or someone special, it's all good. Just keep an open mind and a loving heart.
Have fun here at the pond!

Posted: 2/21/2005 7:11:15 PM | Sorry..but i mean me being only 18 and being on here...A lot of people on this site have had experiences that have driven them to this...where my experience in the dating world is on a less mature level...so i do apologise... | |

Posted: 2/21/2005 7:13:53 PM | Oh, I do know what you mean. I've been a member here for quite some time but since I wasn't too keen on long-distance relationships (was experiencing it with my last boyfriend), I decided to just stick to meeting friends in the forums. It helped especially when we broke up --- I mean, some people have had it worse. I was lucky I've never been beaten, cheated on, etc.
Browsing and participating helped with tamping down the urge to lose my head and do something foolish --- it also helps a lot to feel connected. I'm guessing it ought to help you with the loneliness (bravo --- at least you know it now. It takes maturity to admit it to oneself). A lot of us feel the same way.
The people here have really given me a lot in terms of perspective. Plus, there are some pretty funny individuals here.

The way I look at it, there are millions
of people in the world, so why limit yourself.
You up the odds of finding that someone special.
And don't worry. You're still very young.
Don't rush it !

Posted: 2/21/2005 8:47:01 PM | | Not so much lame as a shame Chels. In your quest for a career you forgot to make time for you, yourself, and what you need to make yourself happy in your life outside of the work place. And your way to young and pretty to be thinking so much about a career anyway. Think about it. You can start focusing on a career in your thirties and be fine in the career goal thing. Most your age change careers a few times before they find what it is they truly want to do with their life. So i'd say ease up on the career thing and stop and enjoy life some. Trust me, before you know it your forty and you don't want to look back and say "I wish i would have taken the time to do those things when i was younger". Do them now as youth is gone before you know it. | |

Posted: 2/21/2005 8:52:59 PM | | One other thing to consider Chels. Did you know that over 70 percent of people end up married or involved with someone within fifty miles of where they live. Seems odd huh when the world is full of people. Don't limit yourself to just the local people and broaden your horizons and be open to people outside your area. And what better place to meet some than a site like this. Rock on. | |

Posted: 2/21/2005 8:53:40 PM | Not lame at all...and don't worry...that special someone IS out there...
Heck,I wasn't in a "serious" relationship till I hit 20...it's nothing to be ashamed of.
What's worked for me is to quit trying...I used to say trying so hard, but now....
Everytime I say I'm used to spenidng my time alone,and am not looking for anyone....someone usually walks into the picture. Just like right now...I'd quit looking...am not sure I've 'found', and am taking my sweet time to see what's going to develop...but...if it does, fine, if not, fine.
You stay sweet, be picky...ah...choosy...you'll find that special someone. | |

Posted: 2/21/2005 9:05:31 PM | Nah. After 4 years of dating in high school, I was about sick of it. That's when I gave up looking for the "one" and started "playing" the field. No relationships. Just dates and sex. It was good because I wasn't bringing myself down constantly about being single.
Then, she just fell into my lap and now I'm engaged.
You're young, don't worry about it. If you're hitting 35 and single.. maybe it's time to start compromising ;). | |

Posted: 2/21/2005 9:25:09 PM | Well considering you are only 18. You have no idea how lonely life can get! take 5 years of college and a job that has you working 10 hrs a day than you will know what lonely really means! But i do believe as long as you have god in your heart he/she will bring happiness to all of his children, there is someone for everyone out there!!

Posted: 2/21/2005 9:40:29 PM | One thing you have to remember is this, until you turn 21 and can go to most singles places, well, your choices are limited. Online you have to be patient, trust your heart, and be patient. There are a lot of nice people here, you could probably find Mr.Right with a little time spent online, and don't make this your primary site, Friendster has some very cool people on it as well, and I believe thats a free site too. So no your not lame.

Posted: 2/21/2005 10:14:47 PM | Well, I take offense to your feeling 30 comment, seeing how I just turned 31. (looking 18 mind you)
The best advice I can give you is find people you're compatible with using your two birthdays.
When meeting somebody new, you have a 1 in 36 chance of being 100% compatible. Most healthy marriages that last are anywhere between 75 and 100%
You were probably born in 1986 I'm guessing, which makes you a Tiger, like myself. (1974)
Look for guys (or girls) that were born in the Dog and Horse years. I think I noticed you were a Pisces, which is compatible with Cancer, and Scorpio. So any combination would be good.
There are other signs that are almost as good for you too, but I don't know them offhand. You can check doublesign.com
If you want to test it out, click on the DoubleSign Compatible button and find out your friend's and family's compatibility with yourself.
I really like this site because I can learn people's signs before I contact them. I know before we ever talk whether it would work or not, and what type of relationship I can expect with them.

Posted: 2/21/2005 10:24:07 PM | Take offense?  I'm getting old. I know it. I don't mind. But after 23 I'm not going to count years. I'll be 23 forever. :)
This girls a cutie. I think she would be fine finding a guy either here or in the 'real' world.
I don't think of the internet as being lame at all... mainly because I have a lot more patience on the internet. If someone says something that I don't like, I can always take an extra minute. go say whoosa a couple times and come back to it... Or if someone interests me but isn't that attractive, I can concetrate more on communication. It's a great thing to be able to actually communicate with someone. I think everything has it's uses and the internet is a great place for meeting new people. Take it all for what it's worth. -E | |
