| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 7:59:58 AM | anyone else out there find this entire site becoming a sick addiction of sorts????? i'm not having the best luck with dating; however, i can't seem to stop! it's not even the conquest of finding "the one" anymore...i don't know why i'm here. i may need help! i have deleted and re-invented my profile numerous times over the past 6+ months - not with the intent to deceive anyone but because i simply can't stay away....there must be others out there.  | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:04:30 AM | | I love the forums! I'm not ready to admit I'm addicted to them, but I do love hearing different views and aspects. I can stay way for a few days, but I catch myself wondering what new posts are there. I wouldnt stay on if I met someone though, unless we had an agreement to be open about it. Too easy to fall back into old 'single' habits if its in front of you every day... | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:05:23 AM | Guilty!! I don't know what it is either! Sick, sick compulsion! I must speak with someone about this....SOON!! Any guys out there want a woman with a addiction!! LOL | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:05:33 AM | so you can relate...i feel better already!  | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:06:53 AM | "Addiction" may not be the right word....but at this moment I'm at a loss for a better one cuz I have to go check my inbox!!  | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:10:07 AM | | it's crazy - i'm not even into the forum thing so much AND at this time my profile is hidden so id don't even get much mail! yet, here i am!!!! | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:13:42 AM | | I can see it being addictive and I only found out about it about a week ago. And I'm impotent for the most part. I guess this is where I rush out and get Celexa if I'm gonna keep this up. (pun intended) | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:21:16 AM | | Guilty as well... It's one of the first things I do in the morning when I get to work... It's pretty bad. Then I check in all the time just to see who else is logged in or who else might have messaged me... I guess it's an attention thing. I love receiving it... But... I'm also a 'giver' too. hehe... | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:22:27 AM | If the site started charging $29.95 a month, I bet it would cure some addictions to it better than a 12 step program.
 | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:32:26 AM | | uhuh... i'm new here but i'm already beginning to feel the effects of this "addiction" | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:34:15 AM | Aaaaahhhhh Yes....Good Observation!! If only all addictions could be cured for $29.95 a month!!  | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:36:31 AM | I have a curiosity problem...
I know about the cat...but satisfaction brought him back * | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:43:35 AM | I am not addicted ,i am not addicted ,i can quit anytime . As soon as i read a few more forums , ohh oh and maybe change up my add just one more time . The true test of Addiction is --You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again. | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:45:15 AM | | I did the dating thing then wound up being a forum rat and now I'm with someone but I'm still a forum rat and it's mostly just that I'm bored and really nosy. that's why I came in here right now just to see what's going on. | |

| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:54:48 AM | Some of the forums can be redundant, and seem to be like vampire movies always a sequel. So yes it can be habit forming, like checking the mail only to find junk mail. | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 8:55:19 AM | | I have the same thing going on.Delete my profile,change it....just to keep comming back.I love the forums,not so much the finding someone on here. | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:07:52 AM | wow! i'm jealous! i wish i were closer...i've thought of throwing a POF party any you've actually done it! how did it go? watch, in a decade, there will be a baby boom of generation "POF" ....he he!  | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:13:39 AM | Ohhhhhhh im positive we have some babies and relationships from the Guinness Speed dating event
Over 250 couples walked out hand in hand that night -- to where they went --- well ..
Draw your own conclusions ! | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:16:25 AM | | I'm starting to become an addict with the forums myself. And it doesn't help that my friends are on here as well and we not only log on here but we talk about it off-line as well! | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:18:23 AM | I aggree......and as winter draws near.you'll see more. I find it much like standing on a corner..looking at the good looking(and sometimes not so) girls walk by. Every once and a while ..you strech your arm out and say..Hey.. | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:32:04 AM | i love all of you fellow addicts!  | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:48:22 AM | I don't know what it is...maybe admin has put a subliminal message on here to keep us mesmerized. I especially love it when members say that they are leaving and then a year later there they still are..it's the addiction.
*stands shyly in the circle, raises hand slightly* Hi my name is V* and I am a POF Addict.
Hehehhehe | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:49:16 AM | I'm just here for the forums. I've been here for over 6 months and haven't met one person online that I'd consider going out with.....
I think PoF has a lot of window shoppers but very few buyers... | |
|
| POF addiction Posted: 9/15/2006 9:53:27 AM | | It's a bit like "People watching" i find. | |
