I found my fish!
Posted: 5/11/2008 10:08:46 PM
My experience on POF hadn't been too great until about a few weeks ago. . I actually met a guy and he's awesome. We had a great first date and had to see each other the next night! We have been seeing each other ever since and he's now my boyfriend. If it weren't for POF we would've never met. . we're going together on vacation this week to the Caribbean, so that should be fun, like a mini honeymoon! We're so excited! It took me a while to find him, I've been on here since September, but it finally happened! So don't get too frustrated if you don't find someone right away. Give it some time and you may just meet the right person! Don't ever lose hope! Good luck to all and THANK YOU POF for bringing us TOGETHER!!!

I LOVE reading this kind of stuff - thanks for sharing.

What was it, Babe Ruth that hit more home runs than anyone in history? He also had the most strike-outs of anyone, except for those masters on steroids. So, how would you catch a fish until you keep on fishing? Good for you!!

I was contacted by a lovely lady, on POF, about 3 wks ago, and we have been in love ever since! I know this is quick, but I now believe in love at first sight. I was intrigued by her, from the very first date. She is energetic, full of life, beautiful, and PLAYS NO GAMES! I am very much in love with her!! Thank you POF!!

You two are in lust, not love, infatuation maybe as well. Don't move so fast. This euphoria will change over time, of which you have plenty.

I agree about the lust....slow down and be careful. I met someone on here in January and it was love at first site or so WE thought....but in reality it was lust and one day he got up and walked out with no warning and I haven't heard from him since. Broke my heart after being with him for over three months and I had no idea that I would be sitting here writing this...

Well, the following line from your profile TOTALLY turned ME off:

i am looking for a good honest man,,if there is such a thing


Makes me feel like you've already made a judgment without even having contact with whoever is reading.

Sorry but I cannot take these gloating and somewhat patronising posts seriously.

In love after a matter of weeks?

Vacation with a relative stranger and you call it a mini 'honeymoon'?

All this is lust/infatuation and nothing more.

I'd be very keen to know any statistical evidence about how long these new found partnerships last and how soon you will be back.


Kiss

and who appointed you the "guru" of love? lol.. so they think they are in love.. let them be.. they probably are.. let them rush things if they choose..they have a world of emotions built up inside, that they just can't and shouldn't contain any longer.. a whirlwind or flicker of love is better than none at all.. and even if they aren't.. atleast they are holding someone else by the ears tonite... lol.. and feeling like they are being loved.. you and i are still on here.. reading and adding our two cents to the forums .. hahaha.. so roll all of that up in a little ball.. then put it in your pipe and smoke it.. lol.. i know that you are only trying to help.. but love dosn't need help.. it just needs a place inside two parties that are willing to just let it happen.. have fun guru... lol..

its a shame that you got burned sexangel. or should i say feel like you got burned.. obviously communication wasn't big with you and the partner, that you lost.. i am sorry for your loss. but, before being so quick to judge and say slow down to this other girl cause you've lost at love.. let me tell you a couple of success stories to do with " love at first site".. my dad was a canadian stationed in britain for a short time.. he was leaving for north america in a few days. he saw my mother. introduced himself, and the next four days went to the dentist and had a tooth pulled each day so that he could have the day off, to court my mom.. they were married right away that week. and God bless them they celebrated their silver jubilee anniversary 2 years ago.. so they lasted 52 years and are more in love today than ever.. the younger of my two older sisters, met her husband at an air show in trenton, on. he was a major with the us airforce.. a pilot, that was part of the air show. he was in town for three days. she met him on day 1.. just a fling for the night. it turned into the 3 days, and then she went south to stay the remainder of the week. they were married in that first week and she came back to canada and ended her career... today they have been married 25 years.. they are absolutely mad about eachother.. they even race cars together.. so, please.......................... stop being so cynical. it will squash any chance that you have for happiness with another person.. people pick up on those negative vibes.. i have been kicked in the teeth by love.. but everytime it happens, i can tell you exactly where it failed.. communication in a relationship is everything..and knowing when to not say anything is the biggest part of communication.. its never love that fails us.. last but not least.. let me tell you the difference between love and lust..so that you are no longer confused, or in the dark.. yes.. lol.. i really do know the difference..lol.. lust is a carnal feeling... its the same as being hungry.. so you satisfy it with a meal.. or sex in this case.. so its short lived and comes in waves or short spurts.. you never actually feel fulfilled, only satisfied for the time being.. just look at a stray dog.. great example.. lol.. it lusts anything that has ears to hang onto..but it doesn't love anything that has ears to hang onto... that same dog if domesticated, loves its master unconditionally.. it would die for its master.. thats love.... here's another thought.. remember back to when you were just a teen, and i mean before you discovered what you could use your parts for.. you never experienced lust.. you were infatuated with the opposite sex. but, never felt lust.. think about it.. you know i'm right..you definately felt love though.. i mean you loved you folks, and your sibblings, and the pets you helped raise.. love is spiritual.. and its deep rooted in a body..and has nothing to do with the flesh.. it consumes you. you don't feel a hunger like you do with lust.. because you are "always" completely satisfied.. but, from the inside out.. its easy and effortless.. even keeled.. not that roller coaster of hunger waves or short spurts of desire..so it can almost seem magical...... it really does just happen... i hope that puts a possitive spin on the love lust debate..

OK now correct me if i am wrong.. but this PIPERKAT is supposedly the fish this Grooveboy supposedly caught?! ButIi did noticed that Piperkat has removed her(his/it) profile.. .. maybe cause they are so called "Caught"? but it is kinda funny that Grooveboy still has his profile still on here?!?! I guess that fish was thrown back!! Didnt quite meet Trophy size hehe!

I agree grooveboy1

If they feel in love let it be...( i do believe in love in first sight as i had it in past!, so let us be hopful!). The sad scenario is one feel in love and one does not.

The fact is sometimes ( and very rarely in life )you know someone can be that someone!, it is not often though and if someone feels that way every day, with any one else who come in their way, i will be concerned.
Any way good luck to all of us, u.! I have been around for 4 -5 months and as yet no luck.


Kind wishes
To those in love, lust or whatever you feel i hope it works well for u.

Comee

I definitely agree, call it love. Most people here have way too much caution. The only way to find love is to let your guard down and trust the other person, even if it seems lusty at the time. Yes, you will feel foolish a few times, but I rarely hear someone say "It took me years to feel in love with him/her." Are you purposely going to date someone forever hoping for love to arrive?

Good for you.. ..Don't listen to these sour Krauts.. ..They just are way too cynical views of romance is blinded by jaded hearts..

..I too have found my fish.. ..After 1yr and 3months.. ..I've have deleted my accounts three times. First time, I meet someone and started talking back and forth, but we never meet only talked, my cell phone got messed up so I went and got a new one and never use the old one so I lost touch with him and he didn't have a way to contact me, because I deleted that account. Got a new account but never heard from him or saw him on the site, because he deleted his account and what we saw online at the time wasn't not what we were looking for.. ..I kind of Gaven up hope of ever finding anyone, so I my own life would just date but nothing serious so I became the girl who didn't want a serious relationship.

I told myself and those that I did meet online to take my number and info, if they wanted to get in touch offline this is how, because I was gonna delete this account this weekend..
..Low and behold I get and email, saying; "How gorgeous I was and that he wanted to get to know me" I took on look at the name and pic' and I asked are you the same (so and so) that I use to talk to a year and something months ago.. ..Right away we both knew who the other was and had to finally meet. We did that night and so here we are going on the only just last night, but From all that I've dated in this lasted year and something months, I know without a doubt he is the "ONE" and I'm the one for him..!

I wasn't looking for Love at this time, but it found me anyways and knocked me on my FEET.. ..He is everything I wanted but didn't want to admit too and it's truly Amazing..

He has a child 3yrs and is a full time dad, I have a daughter going on 6yrs and I'm a full time mom, we are at that point where we know we need to take it slow and gradually make our presence known to the other's child, but not right away. I have no doubt that we will make a wonderful couple because our heads are in the right place and we take care of our children, they come first.. ..All else with work out and there you go.. ..Sometimes it's Love at first site, sometimes it's time that will Rule on Love..!

Good Luck and Enjoy your Bliss of Happiness and thank him everyday for coming into your life..

God Bless your new found Love..!

I know he has for me..!

OP -Well, good for you. Not to 'rain on your parade', but I'd give it a tad longer than a few weeks to see if you really met HIM and this is really IT. Maybe only after a few months I'd break out the champagne
But all the best anyway!
