| Would you leave the dating sites if you got in a serious relationship?
Posted: 3/11/2008 3:13:58 PM | I just have to ask. If you found your "someone", would you continue to send emails, IM, etc. with others of the opposite sex? Would you stop fishing? Come on, let's hear the honest truth on this one. I'm more than a little curious about what people have to say on this.
Myself, I would say an absolute yes on the personal contact, but I would really miss the forums and all the interesting questions and answers that are posed. I can't say for sure being it has not happened as of yet, but I do believe that if I did find that special gal, my profile would disappear. At the very least I would change the personal status of looking for someone. I think I would be more than a little uncomfortable if I continued, even if my gal was completely aware of it. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 3:22:05 PM | | Why in the world would anyone want to keep fishing if they found someone they wanted to be with? What would the point be of being in the relationship in the first place if you wanted to keep fishing? I don't know about anyone else, but personally, I think fishing sucks! I just want to find my catch and I'll be so content. What the hell is wrong with people? Are we really so stupid to think that the grass is always greener and we have to keep looking forever? l;askjf;laksjerl;kj! | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 3:22:07 PM | Yes, I would leave this site if I found someone. There are some people who love the Forums.. I do too,.. and they are definately just here for the Forums, because they have their SO's.. but I'm not convinced that EVERYONE who has an SO and says they're here for the Forums is being totally truthful.
I just dont see why anyone would jepordise a potential relationship, by keeping a profile on here,.. even if you change your status, or hide your profile,.. Its still too easy for some to be tempted.. it really all depends on the person.. but if I met someone from here, and they started complicating things by wanting to keep profiles, and hang out in the Forums,.. I think I'd just tell them to forget it.
I wouldnt be faffed on with all that.
Life went on before Forums, life will go on after it. If someone is really adamant that they want to keep their profile,.. I wouldnt continue in a relationship with that person. Miss Eyre. | |

Yeah because as soon as I get into a relationship I'll be forced to tell all my wonderful female friends that I can't talk to them anymore because of my possessive obsessed girlfriend who considers talking with any other woman for any non-work related reasons is 100% cheating.
I think once I get into a relationship I'm just going to throw my cellphone, computer, and social skills out the window. Plus as an added bonus and a gift to the woman I'm dating, I would start sitting down to urinate instead of standing up.
I mean love is worth it right? | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 3:41:23 PM | | Please allow me to shout it out, I WOULD LEAVE DATING SITES IN LESS THAN A HEARTBEAT IF I FOUND SOMEONE. There is no way in heck I would need this place, even for the forums, if I were with someone. This has been a problem with everyone I have met, they just couldn't let go of their dating sites. I would much rather be alone than spend my time with someone who thinks he has to live on his computer even when we are together. I have spent way to much time behind this computer screen and for some time now have not been looking but believe me when I say the dating sites would be history if I found my special someone BUT if that special someone kept on with his dating sites he would definitely be history. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 3:49:49 PM | Been there done that. Both changed our profiles, and then gave each other our passwords here. I'd already made a lot of friends, and yes we could contact each other through other avenues, but it's just easier to find all of them here.
I'd get an occasional stray email, but most were respectful when I directed them to my status (not single/not looking).
Now back to single again...nothing to do with being here or the site at all.
This is just a way to meet and contact people. If you feel you need to restrict that, then you'd have to take away all other methods they may have to contact someone.
Just the way I think, it all seems a bit extreme IMO to insist that they take their profile down. But to each their own.
I don't make demands of someone else I trust they do what they feel is right and they're comfortable with. That's what I do myself.
Either someone's faithful or they're not. I only know about me and what I do and have done, so there's no worries. I never made any new male friends that my SO at the time didn't know about, and vice versa. Not all relationships end because of someone cheating.
For me it's not been a problem.
Many men that wrote when I was involved either were looking for advice about something or help with their profiles. I responded to every email, if nothing else to clarify that I was involved, but if i could offer some direction or help I would do so. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 4:02:29 PM | I have found the "one" and yes, I still come for the forums. I've hidden my profile from searches and the only time you'll see me here, is on the forums. My guy is totally okay with it, since he knows I only have eyes for him. I have a need for verbage that these forums help sate.
Now, I'm not on any other dating site and that would be a big no-no. I don't do IM's or chat with the opposite sex on here, or anywhere else.
Hope that answers the question you were asking. | |
