WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SPEED DATING????? Posted: 10/3/2007 10:28:37 PM
I have tried speed dating. It was done before the dance that a Christian singles group held. I didn't find anything bad about it. I took notes and the men took notes. We used user names and then at the end of it, we turned in our sheets. If we matched out with each other, we were notified by email. Then we had our dance. It was interesting experience. We just didn't have enough room there. They will probably hold another one sometime soon. They do them in conjunction with the dances. I didn't match with anyone there but I would do it again. I guess the environment was different than some of the rest that posted on here and I didn't pay any $45.00 for it. I think we pay $10-15 for the dance which includes food and drinks.

BETTER FEMALE PROFILES Posted: 9/16/2007 1:50:37 PM
I believe both genders can come up with better profiles. It isn't an easy thing to do. You want to stand out as different from the rest. You want it to reflect who you are and give the reader an idea of what you are looking for. It takes time and effort to create a profile. It could be some of the profiles you looked at were put up very fast just to get them up. It might be that at a later date they were going to modified them. We are women writing from our perspective as we can not write from yours. I know there are differences between us. That men are visual and women are sensory. I also like to see pictures too though on the profiles. It does work both ways. Thank you for your informative post.

Has being online toughened you up emotionally or made you more sensitive? Posted: 8/25/2007 7:57:24 AM
My experience online has been interesting. I realize there are all types of people from both genders, from the good, the bad and the ugly. Even though I may see only a picture or not, I know there is still a human being behind them. I am a sensitive person also. However, I not going to give money to someone I don't know, whatever the story maybe. I have received all types of email and learned to dismiss the ones that are unacceptable. I am not sure if I have toughen up. I know that rejection happens to both. I just go with the attitude that must not be the right person for me. My online experience has been fun at times. I enjoy making new friends. I would prefer to meet people in the real world but the option is not open to me that much. I will make the best with the online dating experience as I do in real life.

How long should one wait at a meeting place? Posted: 8/25/2007 7:14:39 AM
I agree with the others that one should wait about 15 to 20 minutes. I would give them a call then leave. I have been stood up before and waited about 20 minutes. I tried to call. They did have a good reason for not making the meeting. I did understand and we rescheduled. The reason was with three children and new puppy, the poor guy didn't get hardly any sleep because the puppy whined all night. It also kept some of the children awake. He laid down to get few minutes and sleep through the meeting time. I have also meet before at the wrong place. I thought I knew where I was going. Now, that I think about it, I had to meet him instead of him meeting me. I waited there 15 minutes and try to call his cell. I finally got through and told him I was leaving. He said that I misunderstood him. I was about 5 minutes away from him. I drove down to meet and we talk . I had to talk outside the cars. I decided I didn't want to go on a date with him. That is the way it goes sometimes.

Are people these days 'too picky'... Posted: 7/25/2007 4:52:58 PM
I have just read about 15 pages of whether people are picky or just have higher standards that most people. I will not say that I am too picky but I also have my standards. I have dated outside what I would have normal done and it just didn't work out. They were nice but we didn't have that much in common. I know what I want out of a relationship. The last relationship taught me that I could love unconditional and stay true that person. It taught me a great deal about myself and the art of communication. I am not that picky that I would choose blond hair over brown hair. I just know what I want and will not settle.
