True!

There are quite a few couples on here.... some in long term relationships and some that have gotten married. I don't know if they would deem themselves soulmates, but committed relationships have been started from here.

It's TRUE that everyone has just as much chance of meeting a great person here as anywhere else (bars, malls, sporting events, school, work, library, etc). :thumbsup:

Soul mates? I don't believe in that theory.

Think of it a lot like you are meeting someone on the street, do you right off the bat go into telling them what you like/dislike? It is no different here, you jump right into a full-blown 'I want to date you' in the first e-mail and people get jumpy.

SO TRUE! :thumbsup:

I get emails wherein the person doesn't even introduce themselves; they call me "hon" or some other ridiculous pet name; and start a conversation in the middle! slaphead

If they saw me in real life -- their approach would be different. I expect the type of manners and advance via email as if they were seeing me at the gym or store.

Unfortunately, that is one of the down-falls of online dating. Social skills are lazy. sad2

That is the advantage of meeting on line. If you are honest and know what your goals are you don't waste your time dateing someone who says they want something different. I don't begrudge anyone who wants to remain single if that is the lifestyle that makes them happy. For a long time that is what I wanted.

But now that my feelings have changed I don't want to waste my time dating them when I don't want and occasional companion.

Uhhuh...and how often does e-mailing someone your likes/dislikes, personal quirks, and what you are looking for in a "companion" really work out for you?

Just because it is online does not mean that people are different, they are still relatively the same and dealing with them is no different than what you would say/do in a real life encounter...anything else and you come off as scary.

Online further doesn't offer any advantage over meeting people in real life, you still have stipulations online just as you do offline regardless. And everyone has their preference on/offline, it doesn't matter...you still have to put more effort into meeting a prospective date than a simple e-mail. Communication, honesty, and approach are all far higher in online relationships as far as the requirement.

I have no reason to believe nobody has met their soulmates here. However, I also believe that not everyone has the same and equal chance as everyone else to meet one of their soulmates here or on any other dating websites.

Soulmates are a theory, a fantasy, a belief, and hope against reason.

What? It's a downfall to be called "hon" in a letter?

Try to go out on a real date, in nine inch heels, and fall down by accident on the pavement.

Now, that's a downfall.

In my opinion if you don't know a person, and it's a first contact, it's inappropriate to call someone "hon" or use a term of endearment. The gesture is too familiar.

If "you" don't know "my" first name -- what makes "you" think it's OK to call "me" whatever comes to mind? slaphead

The first thing I ask is, "What is your name" or "what may I call you" so I am not guilty of using a misnomer -- and calling them by a name they dislike.

I loath the nickname "Mel" but so many people assume its OK to call me by that name. I think it's impolite to assume things this personal.

"Hi! What's your name" is not a bad thing! :laughing:

I dont think there is such a thing as a soulmate. Its more of a closer compatability you have met than others, thats why it feels like you met your soulmate. For those who believe in it, don't fear, I think there is more than 1 soulmate out there for you.

Soulmates are cliche' just like knights in shining armor, or Mr. Right's.
