| how many successful dates have you had and any relationships have come out of the use of this site?
Posted: 6/28/2006 9:47:17 PM | I came here for the poetry forums and while I was busy with my writing hobby,I met a wonderful guy .We actually met about a year ago when he began posting his writes in my poetry thread,and have been going strong ever since.My advice is to just relax ,and have fun here.Dont expect anything and that way if something really nifty happens great...if not,you wont be dissapointed.Ive met some really awesome friends via this site.This has been my first experience with an online dating site relationship,so I guess Im one of the lucky ones:)I would say dont limit yourself strictly to online dating either.Its summer and there is a world full of people out there to mix and mingle with.:)Good luck | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 10:08:04 PM | I've met with three individuals in person through POF.
1) Not so good but made the best of it. Not terrible just not my type.
2) Made a nice new friend.
3) Made a new friend with definate possibilities but still too early to tell.
I've also made many very nice internet friends from around the world and found several interesting people with common interests to share emails with.
I've been on other sites and this one has been the best for me by far.   | |

Posted: 6/29/2006 10:42:25 AM | I have many successful dates from this site and one other dating website. I have a very healthy and happy marriage as a result of this site. I am forever grateful to this site for allowing me the chance to meet my husband. Who would have guessed that the man of my dreams lived only a few miles from me, and I never even knew it. Prior to getting married I did have one or two bf/gf relationships from this site, but they didn't last very long as I quickly discovered they weren't what I was looking for and I moved on. Anyhow, I don't know that there are any magic ingredients out there, but there a few common sense ones.
Common sense ingredients for a relationship:
Good communication skills- if you want something ask neither party is a mind reader (in most cases) If something is bothering you speak up, again most people aren't mind readers
Trust your partner- even if you have trust issues this can be very hard to do especially if you have been hurt in the past, but realize that your current partner isn't the one who hurt you so badly before and you need to give them a fair chance.
Go with your gut- If your gut is telling you something isn't right go with it. Communicate your feelings to your partner, and then work out whatever problems there might be.
Be HONEST- Don't lie to your partner even if you think it will save them pain and heartache. Sometimes knowing you were lied to hurts worse than what the lie was or what the lying party felt you needed protecting from.
Respect your partner- Don't argue with them or air your dirty laundry in public. If you have a problem with something they said or did don't talk about it in front of friends or family. If your partner tells you something is bothering them make every effort to stop the annoying or bothersome behavior. No matter how difficult it might be.
Listen to your partner- it's hard to learn things if your jaw is constantly flapping. If you ask your partner a question listen to their answer without interrupting. You wanted to know so now respect them enough to listen to them.
Love your partner- Do kind things for them or tell them that you love them. More importantly show them that you love them.
Respect yourself- Don't do things just because your patner wants you to. Don't do things that you might regret in the future whether that be the next day or ten years from now.
Take care of yourself- Don't slack off in your upkeep just because you are in a relationship. You may feel your partner to be shallow in wanting you to look a certain way, but they fell in love with you because of how you were when they met you not because you can be lazy. If you have gained weight it's normal, but if it's excessive exercise do it together it may be fun. Dress up for your partner you just might like the results.
I think that is some pretty commonsense advice. I hope it helps you to find and develop the kind of relationship that you want to have. | |
