Yes...No...Or maybe just not

Online dating. Well that just kind of kills it right there. I don't know who created all the success stories that are read online but I sure haven't experienced any of it. Sometimes I wonder if the timing isn't right then I get another d#ck picture and NOPE, not happening. One really interesting person started the sweet talk and point blank told him if he can't connect with with me with the head on his shoulders over what's under his belt him he has nothing to offer me. He had nothing much to say after that. Geeeeza, what's your opinion of the world, did you watch anything interesting on the news, what about cops killing, black lives matters, do you like the president. Guess what peoples....he was stumped. So, when you choose a new friend or looking for the maybe a new special friend, what do they have to have to make you interested in them? So far, I'm in the desert here with prospects. So what do YOU look for in a person?

I met my husband online and we've been married 14 years now. We met on a Christian site and agreed from the get-go to not play games. We weren't there to "date" but to find a spouse, if able.

In 9 years I only dated 2 people. Sometimes I don't think I am ready for the whole package. I tried with one, lasted about 2 years. But I never "felt" overly happy to see this person. If they were there they were there, if not, no big deal.

@kprofgames There certainly is a difference between tolerating someone and loving someone. It's good you didn't settle...best to hold out until you find the one you want to be around all the time.

sadly unless you want to sit in a bar and catch flies, online profiles is the new wave to go. It's been hard. just when I hink I might want to connect with another person all I get is rude or inappropriate messages. Makes me wonder realize all the good ones have been taken.

@kprofgames You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince (or princess). lol How many people do you meet out in the world that aren't the one either? It's just a numbers game. Good luck.

I probably wouldn't start with politics. If I were in your situation, I think I'd start out trying to make friendships and see where things go from there. It takes a while to get to know people, especially with online dating. Best of luck.

what?? No politics? lol joking... It's been hard just finding common ground. Oh there are a few common interests, but I can't get by some behaviors. I guess I have reached an age that I don't want to settle. There are lots and lots and lots of frogs out there.

Dating either online or offline is good, what you make out from dating is dependent on your level of understanding and your set goals. We are all imperfect, discover your imperfection and search for a friend with the qualities to make the impfect in you to be perfect

I agree. Its FINDING the common ground that is hard. People can say whatever they want to a person, but have found that their actions speak louder. I haven't found anyone that I would consider a partner in life. Not sure I want to continue trying because of the negative that's out there. Maybe someday when can spend more time with it, but as of right now. My first impression of the online world can stay in that word.

If their actions touch my heart, I might consider being with them. :)

Basically, i will look for a guy who loves my family first. Cos i believe, that if he loves my family already it means that he will love automatically. The rest like: kind, generous, polite, romantic are just standard criteria that we can get very fast.

I am a bit protective of my family. I think if it can't make a connection with them, they have no reason to meet my family. I still have children at home and see no reason for any man to met them before I know it can seriously turn into a long lasting relationship.

Never tried this sort of thing before so I wouldn't know. It sounds a risky place!

I agree there and just when start talking about real stuff they throw bedroom crap in there. I haven't visited any sites in over a year. A friend wants to set me up here and there and I refuse. I don't have the energy for it.
