Whats the contradiction? I don't do things like you do? Your point being what? I took a chance...lol, it didn't work, end of story. I just thought it was funny is all.
NO, you were giving me "mom" advice. I'm not a child...lol, I can handle my own tyvm.

I'm not 12 dear...lol, I know the "dangers of the internet". Life isn't worth living if ya don't take a chance on gettin to know people occasionally. I can't live my life all buttoned up and safe all the time, THAT is what is boring to me.

No, he doesn't.

I just can't assume that every person is bad and evil. I don't have it in me. I just can't see instant messaging someone as "rushing it"...lol, sorry. It would really suck if he happend to hack the email I don't use for anything but "screening" people, but I could just make another. That name has nothing to do with anything personal, so it really doesn't make much difference.

My computer is way too slow for any of that...lol. I have to take my chances. I rarely forget to block my number (only like 2 times in the last year, first time turned out okay...lol) I usually chat online for a few days before I even consider calling, but he asked and I was like "what can it hurt?" He doesn't really seem like a threat, just really sadly desperate.

I don't use the messenger on here, it always lets viruses onto my computer. I gave him my least used messenger name, and then blocked him from it. Trust me, after talking to him for a little while you realize he's lucky to tie his shoes every morning...lol. I can't see him having the ability to hack.

I can't afford skype...lol. I normally just block my number on the first call. Just a slip up and thats what it gets me...lol. I'll certainly not do that again

Thats someone's perogative I guess, but what sense does it make to not make a friend out of it? They could be more in the future once you really get to know them and work out kinks in your personality differences over time. I personally welcome new friends all the live long day, I feel you can never have too many.

Well messenger is no big deal cus I just put him on block...lol. Its the phone thing that was the most "oh my god, are you kidding?"

Last night I was speaking to this guy from here for about an hour or so on messenger before he asked me to call him. He seemed harmless enough, but wasn't sure how well we were clicking. I agreed to call, thinking maybe some of our typed conversation was getting lost in translation... maybe I'd like him a little more if I was actually hearing what he was saying instead of reading it.. some people just aren't good at typing...

K, so, I call (forgetting to block my # on the first call like I usually do), and we get along at first. It takes a total of 20 minutes though to decipher that we are just totally incompatible for anything other than friends. Nothing wrong with that in my book, right? Wrong. I told him that "I think you and I could be good friends, but probably nothing more. What do you say we be friends and maybe over time who knows?" He goes OFF saying he has enough friends and was looking for someone to be with and blah blah blah. I listened to his rants for about 5 minutes to be fair to him, but it was all just whining. I told him "I'm going to hang up now, you have a good night." He practically stalks me on messenger for the next half hour and calls me over and over and over and over for about 2 hours. I answered once to tell him to stop calling, and he was freaking me out. So what does he do? Blocks his number when he calls again...lol, like I wouldnt' know who it was? Okay.. just thought it was slightly freaky and funny and thought I'd share my interesting Mingle encounter. Are there any normal people on here?

I've been here almost 2 years and still single

Give it time.

Yeah agreed. I do take satisfaction in knowing if they read this they'd know it was them I speak of. One of whom I thought was a friend... until I had a bad day the other day... then he insisted my bad day must have been product of my "lust for him" I was like.. WTF?... dude? are you for real? Needless to say my bad day was over as I became too busy lauging

And yeah... he was stone cold serious

I sadly know a few people on this site, whom I've met in person, who really should be posting on this thread.

Hey! Haven't you heard? Brit Brit's on top again babe

1. My life as it is now. I like being obscure and unknown...lol.

2. I'd rather just be me. I'm not a genius, but I'm sure as heck not mediocre.

3. I think I'll stick with being single.

4. The poet. My favorite bands fall in that category of "great poet with small following"

5. You take that chance every day when you wake up in this day and age. I'd pick one. I fully believe in going balls to the wall for your dreams.

6. No. I would not give them the satisfaction, death is too good for that person.

7. The vet. Hands down.

8. Hell no. Immortality is overruled anyway. I think you'd see way more than you bargained for.

9. Their life? HAHA... hmmm.... can I just shorten it by 10 years and not have them love me? I don't want to force ANYONE to love me.

10. I don't believe in hell or the devil. Irrelevant...lol

I've had this issue before. I told them if they can't get along then they'll just have to hang out with me separately. I also warn that the first person to try to put me in the middle is the first one I stop talking to.

Well dear, then you are one of very few lucky ones.

You should try green tea, its yummy with lime in it

There's nothing wrong with nursing wounds, we all have them. There IS something wrong with blaming the whole world for your troubles. Thats called self pity, and only breeds insecurity and desperation.

This post is referring to people who know how to have healthy loving relationships involving romance. Not whatever crap relationships we've all had up to now...lol. Here's to keeping a tiny bit of hope that it still exists somewhere somehow

Ladies: The men who've done us wrong suck. They suck, and like huge donkey balls suck...

Fellas: The women who've done you wrong suck. They suck, and like huge donkey balls suck....

The people on these forums aren't them. Stop associating all of your past feelings toward douche bag exes with every other member of that same sex. Its not fair to YOU or your mental state. You can't ever have another healthy relationship until you stop blaming every single member of the sex you are attracted to for your troubles. They didn't all do it.
