The Last Crusade of Relationships

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

The Kingdom of the Crystal Engagement Ring?

 

[Dark Raven]

How about a positive one? Rise of the Planet of Relationships. That offers some hope. Certainly better than Rise of the Planet of Singleness.

I second that one!

 

[chocaholic84]

Thanks for your reply.

It's Temple than Crusade than Crystal Palace.

Then it's time for LOTR.

End of story.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Can't stop right in the middle of a theme.

With friendzone gripes, Pick Up artist strategies, and general mocking of peoples wussynessness, we'll have moved on to the ape movies in no time.

We'll get their faster if people stop using Acronyms all the damn time.

Then again, maybe all we should do is Acronyms. You can get a good five posts out of just one from people saying

"WTF does POF mean?"

"It means plenty of fish....it's a dating website.
by the way, What the f**k does WTF mean? "

I can't believe people don't catch my "Thing Ring" references around here. That's who the thread manager is in my mind.

 

[steintym]

Title is perfect. Need to carry out the theme going.

 

[Lily Adler]

We have Last Crusade and then Kingdom of the Relationship Thread or something. Then I guess LOTR, PotA and then Star Wars?

Because that doesn't exist, not for more than a few years anyway.



I'm feeling a bit negative today, you'll have to excuse me.

I'm single on V-Day so screw it...3 mile jog/run. No pain...no gain. I finally jogged/ran 2 miles without walking any of the 2nd mile at Rec Center trail. So painful...so tired...

So awesome. When I find job and or go to school, I'll jog...morning or at night. It's on a trail...

Hype: But ETM what if it's raining?

ETM: I run, cause rain is scared of me jogging.

Ok so chick been telling youguys about played me tonight. We planned for week to go out tonight but she played me so **** her, and going into playboy mode from now on. Not getting tied down to one women or let myself play myself again, more fishes in the sea and time to explore it.

Wear a t-shirt that says Free Agent that way women know you are serious.

So how many people have tried online dating services before and what have been your results?

I know Anita that you've said you've used POF with success.

I've tried a few before years ago, but most of the people liveod in another country, with only a very small handful even within travelling distance near where I live. It's different now even on the sites I've previously used.

However, the thing about these compared to meeting someone in person is that everyone has the mindset that they're trying to find an ideal match. Therefore, they'll automatically reject you on your appearance if they don't like you, whereas in real life they might not be thinking in those terms so might give you a chance once they get to know your personality. People might never get to know that on these online dating sites if they're completely judging by appearance, which is natural and understandable.

 

[enterthemadness]

I got ONE date out of POF...ONE. It was...not good. No hugging, no shaking hands, no kissing, nothing...

My current time--third on POF--I've had a few conversations...but nothing...whatever. Probably for the best. I'm gonna run like a crazed person on V-Day. Let it all out...then cry...not from being single, but doing 3 miles. Maybe it'll rain and I run in rain on V-Day. Be fitting...and Rocky like. Wait no...he ran in snow...

Epic Rant.

But no seriously...I'll be fine. I'm sure my mom will buy me candy...

 

[Dark Raven]

I've only had 2 dates out of different online dating sites. That's 2 different dates, not 2 successive dates. The first girl I met I didn't have much in common with her, and she reminded me quite a bit of this smiley:



Her mouth kept turning down that way, not because she had a downturned mouth, but because she kept making that kind of expression, maybe out of habit. You don't want to be dating the confused smiley.

That was at a time when there were barely anyone online in my own country anyway over here in the UK.

The 2nd one was quite a few years later when I ventured into it again. Again, the girl had nothing in common with me, and it was a struggle to find anything to talk about. That one didn't last very long at all - about 45 mins at most.

I'm wondering though whether it's a good idea to just ask out a bunch of different girls online, whether I feel that attracted to them or not. It would be more for getting the practice (and who know what may come out of it) and building my confidence. I could get to experience interacting with lots of different types and see what works.

The only thing is that it could start getting expensive after a while if there's no real interest and the whole thing starts becoming a chore. But then, I suppose I could cut back, because it's better to have lots of different people to sample than absolutely none at all isn't it?

Well if people are really feeling that way, good riddance, you shouldn't want to be with them anyway. Honestly, people would probably reject me in person once they found out (which doesn't take all that much conversing) that I have a stutter. My friends don't mind of course, but for someone looking for a relationship, they usually don't want to take the time to "get to know me" for me to get comfortable with them.

Sure I had to be attracted to the guy first, but I wasn't looking for Brad Pitt. All the guys I met were pretty different looks-wise. I'm sure most women are equally flexible. It was really the profile that got me - I was looking for someone who liked to develop themselves and are eager to continue learning.

Seriously ETM, it takes more than one date and "a few conversations." I probably chatted with 100 guys from POF in 3 years. Weeded most of them out and went on probably 5 dates. (Picky? Sure, but I'm a woman and I was insistent on meeting no weirdos.) The last POF meetup was with the guy who became my bf.

Like Erz will tell you, it's about numbers. Even online, it is. Because even if you find someone interesting online, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to stand them in person. That happened to me a couple times too.

I do not understand how a person can talk to you almost everyday and make plans with you then turn around and play you. I should of listened to my friends that was my fault and not get emotional about it, but its a good life lesson and officially moving on from this chick and just going to live life and enjoy it best way I possibly can.

So, he and I have been talking about sex and moving in together and stuff lately. Nothing uber concrete, just talking about it. He's been looking at a few apartments and was wondering if I wanted to join him. Though I admit that it sounds nice, I'm worried it's too soon in our relationship to move in together. I don't want to hurt things between us by moving in together too fast.We've been dating since October 28th and became an official thing Christmas Eve for the unaware.

As for sex, it's a similar thing. I want to at some point, but I don't know if I'm ready for it right now.

He isn't putting any pressure on me for it (thank God), but I still don't know what to do
