I know as a person with agnostic beliefs, a red flag goes up for me when I see the Bible or praying listed in someone's profile. I would date someone who belonged to an organized religion as long as they weren't fanatical or preachy about it and respected the fact that I also have a right to form my own opinions. same here. . . . |

Hypothetical Question.

Let's say there is a guy... This guy was with the same woman for 11+ years, but never got married. The couple had a child together. The couple split up...woman took child with her. Due to no marriage...there was no divorce. No divorce, no court order for custody or visitation. Woman leaves the state with another man. Woman hides whereabouts from child's father. 8 years pass. Father has looked for child without success. _________________________________________________________________ So...after 8 years....this father has to make a choice. Does he.. 1) Continue to actively seek his child ( who has recently turned 18 and is on the way to college ) and disrupt the life the child is used to. or 2) Just let sleeping dogs lie and hope that the child will eventually try to contact him. kudos for trying. i say let her come to you. but if you want to look for her, i wouldn't bother her during school semesters. . . . |

if you're a religious person, are you open to dating someone who is either a different religion than you or is agnostic/atheist?
why or why not? do you have preconceptions about other religions or people who are atheist/agnostic? personally, as long as they're not fanatical i can deal with it. . . . |

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but he's informed you that he has more than just friendship in mind. I can tell you from personal experience, your friendship is already over. It won't make it through that hurdle because you'll never look at him the same way again, and he won't be able to hide his feelings any longer. while it's possible that this could have been worded better, i believe that what he has said is solid. while the friendship may not be over, the "just friends" part likely is. i think when a guy puts himself out there as the OP's friend has, he's bearing a part of his soul and it's an all or nothing deal. it can be painful to watch someone you love be with someone else and it can be less painful to be without them. . . . |

You aren't SUPPOSED to be doing anything you don't want to do... I just said it probably applies to quite a few people... not everyone and certainly not you if you aren't in this situation ![]() i don't treat this site as a dating site. not that i'm opposed to meeting someone from here, i'm just not expecting to. if i were to connect with someone from here and we were a considerable distance apart, i wouldn't expect or offer exclusivity until after at least one face to face. . . . |

As I feel this probably applies to quite a few people on this site, I just wanted to see what people expect when they meet someone online. If you meet someone here and they are not local, do you keep your options open until you do meet? Or do you feel that you "owe" it to the other person to wait until you meet and decided if you want to be exclusive or not? we're supposed to be trying to meet people? when did that come about? i didn't get any email stating that. there's no one local for me and i seem to rub people the wrong way with my bluntness. oh well. . . . |

I'm arguing with a few people on another site, and it seems like most are looking for a long term relationship on dating sites , right off the bat. Basically browsing and matching with people and see that person they contact as someone who'm they want to spend a long term right off the bat. Isn't that just a little too much and too early and having way too much expectation from someone? To put in a metaphoric expression ~ Isn't that like trying to trap an adult grizzly bear, while you ignore the little cubs you can have for free and just raise him to be a big grizzly one day? I always start out by getting to know someone, who is someone fun to hang out with and then just see how things gonna go later on. It might turn into a serious love relationship that could last for many years or we might never get to that point and remain as friends only. we have to say we're looking for a LTR because if we say we're looking for sex people run away. while it might not be a lie to say we're looking for a LTR, it could be more of an exaggeration. it's like, i'm looking to get laid and if it turns into something long term then okay. or i'm looking to get laid and i'm willing to go out on a few dates to show you i'm not a "hit it and quit it" kind of guy, but if you make me go on more than 3 without putting out, i'm gone. in all seriousness, it could be a bit too much to ask for, but some people won't even consider you if you seem to still be playing the field. . . . |

I don't know why everyone feels sorry for Drew, he only stated his point of view on the subject. Isn't that what the OP was asking for? For him a best friend and a lover are not on in the same. Just because others feel differently doesn't make him a tortured soul. Edit: Think about it like this, in the event of a divorce you lose your lover and best friend all in one foul swoop. Sounds awful to me too. thank you. He just always seems so sad or negative in things. I feel its is good to have more than one best friend both female and male mixture.....and all have different perspectives on many things but a good group of friends nonetheless.... i've been working on not being so negative. but, i do tell it as I see it. it is only my opinion and it's for others to decide whether they agree or not. i only voice it, not force it. as far as friends go, i don't feel the need to have many. i actually only have one. i have people that i associate with, and some that i rarely hang out with, but an actual person that i call a friend and can talk to about pretty much anything, i have 1. and that's all i need as far as friends go. for a lover, is it important that we have things we can communicate about? absolutely. does she need to know every time i'm feeling insecure or inadequate about something? no. i feel the need to keep some aspects separated. i want to be able to hang out with my best friend, when i need a night away from my S.O. if my best friend is my S.O. then i have to find someone who i'm not as close to to hang out with and that would be less fun. and yes, it's healthy to have a night away from your S.O. on occasion. . . . |

ok, to all of the people saying you're suppose to marry your best friend, i have to say i don't understand.
as a guy, every time a girl says "lets be friends" that pretty much means a completely hands off relationship. why would anyone want to be married to their friend? i don't want my wife to be my best friend. a best friend is someone you hang out with when you're not with your wife. they're the one you complain to about your wife. they're the one you talk to about things that you can't talk to your wife about. i think it's okay to have a relationship with your best friend, but you should start looking to refill their position once you've promoted them to lover. . . . |
