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.

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...

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)

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...

If the site started charging $29.95 a month, I bet it would cure some addictions to it better than a 12 step program.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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..

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.

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...
