Hi
I am new to this site and internet dating in general. People look very interesting, I am looking forward to connecting with men and women to enjoy their friendship.
How is internet dating working for you? Do you have any stories to share? This site, Canadian, seems to have more women than men. Is that a problem? Hopefully I will get some takers, Big hugs and a cheerful have a great day to anyone reading this.

I keep checking here to see what people's answers are but there are never any I find the internet dating kind of daunting. I keep reminding myself not to hold up the wall but to actively check out peoples profiles. One of my biggest problems is that I can't remember if I checked out a profile so it looks like I keep revisiting the same ones. Also there are some I would like to go back to but now I don't want to seem wishy washy by being in their profile too often. (Dang, is the wall falling over, I better hold it up)

I thought as a man I would answer this. I have had a few replies and a few just ignore me. I have had one quite nasty but for the most part I find every body OK. Trying to be pleasant. I'm not trying to form relationships because I've discovered I'd rather just talk or listen as the case may be. Oh and visiting profiles over and over. I do that on chat just so I know something about who I'm chatting to. You can be in my profile as often as you want. I think I can tell who's just passing through. Besides if I'm curious I'll send a message that you can ignore.

I was contacted by someone but I can't get back to her because of not being a pd member. I am sure we all miss a lot of friendships that way.

Internet dating sounds good – more chances to meet people. But somehow it seems also have too many uncertainties, especially the long distance relationship, I don't think it would work. Just by reading those comments already scared me… I just started here a few days ago… already thinking quitting and go hiding again. Although I am capable of doing other tasks, when it comes to relationship, don't know what to do…hopeless. Not seeking advice…simply give up. Good luck to all of you. [/b]

I am here for friendship. As far as starting a relationship from this site...well, I am cautious...too many men want to start a harem here. I am a one man woman, and would be faithful, passionate and loving....I value inner beauty. I do not want to give my heart to a shallow man who flirts with every woman. A man would have to prove himself worthy of my trust before I would give away my heart to him.

You can find me in the English chat room, in the evenings...great friends there....

God's Blessings

I am fairly new to this site. I do like the friendship aspects of it. I would also be very cautious about meeting someone in person that I communicate with online. Not saying it won't ever happen - but I would have to get to know and sense a lot about that person through communications first. Even then, I would remain on guard and cautious.

Dating online seems scary but as I can say my nephew found a lovely girl on line and they have a beautiful daughter. I also know of friends who have found love online and are happy and married. Do not count online dating as being a bad form of finding someone. You have to be careful and make sure the person you are talking too tells you the truth and as I was told "Ask them personal questions and if they are on the up and up they will let you talk to someone that knows them well and you can get an idea of what they are like and if you would be interested in them. Also be careful and meet them in a place where you are comfortable like in your town and have someone ready to bail you out if it does not work. Go somewhere where there are a lot of people and one where you can leave and go to a store or place you know so they do not follow you home if they do not know where you live just in case they are not all they said they were. You are old enough to know how to protect yourself and be safe in a tricky situation. But so far online is fun and I have met many of the friends I have formed online and want to meet many more.
