If you're talking about the forums (I don't check anyone outside of that) ... yes, there are a couple that interest me.

And no, I don't approach them, because I don't think they have interest in me. I mean, they know me from the forums, should have a pretty good idea of what I'm like, I'm pretty much open. So had the interest been mutual, I suppose they would've made it clear, even if it was just in the forums with their reactions, flirty li'l things.

Apart from that I don't actively look for anyone here (outside of the forums) because most live in the USA. Not easy to say "Hey, let's go grab a cup of coffee and see how things go!"




well, you could have, you were just here...:wink:

Yeah indeed ...
You could've picked me up for a drink, lol. Okay, I was pressed for time, haha, had to get the connecting flight, but on the way back, I had three and a half bleedin' hours to kill!


and i'm just now hearing that part? ... :wink: laugh i would have, but the beers would have been chilled...

So you'd see me off on the plane a few hours later, pissed as a f@rt, lol.
But yeah, it was a long long long wait... bored out of my mind. Meeting you would've been a lot nicer for sure!

Does anyone here have an interest... In someone on Mingle but is too afraid to approach that one?

Probably.

Lots of people came to the internet in the first place because they were too scared to try anywhere else.

Too scared of rejection, too scared of talking to strangers, too scared of the risk, too scared of not having complete control of a situation.

Lots of people look for social interaction on forums because they're too scared to try emailing people.
They set up a profile and just wait for others to approach them, sit and wait for the person they want to come find them, but they're lonely, and while they're sitting and waiting why not go find some social interaction.

So...I'm sure there are a lot of people too afraid to approach "that one."


Not! Some of us come out of pure boredom and nothing else . Not looking to date any online creeps or connect with anyone outside of this site.

I mean a potential mate interest..not sexual.

Disclaimer: In no way, shape or form has this got anything to do with me personally blushing


I have sent messages out but not all have been to someone I would consider a potential mate.. sometimes it is just I like something they said in their profile.. but even to those that I take an interest in... if they don't respond back.. I take it they are not interested and move on...
People face rejection every day in life... this is no different..
By the way I like your disclaimer...lol
Thank you :smile:

I have plenty of interest to date some (not all)of the users of this site....In fact, I just dated one last nite....its a long story. But yeah! if you dont ask...the answer is always gonna be a no. What, I am beginning to resent is the fact, that I am always the one, doing the initial contacting.... I feel if that changes, there could be a spike in matches taking place....just saying...

It's not the rejection that's got me so low. It's basically how many times in a row that it keeps happening. ohwell

Rejected can be nasty

The net for has improved my confidence in meeting people.

I did meet five different guys at different times and I was like wow no way and started to think is it only losers that come on here? (it was another site which it lasted three months then deactivated).

There is also some neat people on here that are great penpals.

It's how you use it and for what the reasons.

I enjoy the forums and don't even bother with the rest. I do answer emails of friends I can't be bothered with long distance. I am too much of a relational person who wears her heart onher sleeve.
I like them close by where I can see them.

The biggest failure in life doesn't come from having tried and failed, it comes from not trying at all & if you don't try you will lose by default, so go for it !
