I've followed much of this thread so far, (sorry for not adding my few worths), and I don't think that you are conducting yourself out of order, whatsoever. I don't think it's a matter of what you're doing wrong, as seems to me, your treating yourself as you should...looking out for #1.

However. it is possible that the greatest obstacle you are encountering is your own fear of heartache, which is perfectly understandable....(I cannot deal with heartache at all. I crumble to it).
And maybe, until you come to better terms with your fear, you will not allow yourself the subjection to any possible pain again....?

Just a thought....

Thanks my dear Shangrala....I always appreciate your wise and smart inputs....hope life is good with you

Yes, that's so true....I'm so afraid of getting hurt again....last time with Aaron was really bad....and I handled it poorly....hate to admit that....I was getting crazy, not being able to sleep....and worse thing was getting so cut off into my own pain that I didn't get in touch with my parents that much and then my dad passed away....I would not forget that at all....
I think I'm getting my strength back little by little....
honesty, heart break is like bone break....one needs a lot of time and physiotherapy to walk again....and then he starts walking cautiously....I think that's the same for heart break....

Thanks again....
Marjan
Thanks for this!

well i think u should deffinetly give it a try!! i went on a dating site last year "09" and i met my boyfriend on there he is such a great guy and we are even thinking of getting married in a few years! so it can be good for you just be careful because online dating sites can be dangerous if u dont really find out all there is to know of the person then you can be fooled and unhappy. always be yourself and trust me u will find someone that is right for you!!! goodluck and take care!!!
Thanks for this!

thank you so much.....I love to hear success stories.....
So far, I met just one guy that he was a good person, but not a match for me....then I talked to another guy...he seemed more my match....and then couple of emails between me and another guy....
I know how they can fool you on the site....I even reported one guy to the site before and they deleted his profile....the story that he was telling me was so fake and unreal and his picture was so cute....I looked on his name on google and I found a website that girls were saying they got fooled by him....apparently, he was asking for money....one girl has even given him money....she said she was even talking on the phone with him....that was scary....
Thanks again

I met my fiancee on a site called Plenty of Fish. We have been together for two years and really are in love. I had to throw a few of those fish back. I had one ask me for money. I gave him the number to Catholic Charities and told him that was my number. My profile stated that I was a single mother raising her ADHD son on her own. that I wasn't looking for someone to take case of me and my son but for someone to be a companion with in this life. Good luck to you and please be careful.

Plus, I'm looking at the guys pics and It looks like most of them are not real with those puffy mussels....why do they post those pics online? I just want to find a regular guy....not looking for a supper model that I end up sharing him with other girls...ha!

okay...I go to gym and then I will do it at night....everyday I say the same thing....and I'm 36, turning 37 soon

sorry for nagging....but I think this loneliness is getting on my nerve....I really want to share my days with another human being....I miss being in a relationship....although, I know how much hazel and heart breaks it will give me

thanks

You will know till u cross the bridge when u get there

As much as possible be open and Dont be scared

pain is unavoidable therefore
dont be afraid to face it
but neither dont invite as well

very true.....and I'm trying to not just go for the look....I read their profile and see how real the guy is....how close he is to my interests and my personality....and of course education is very important to me....
However, online dating needs lots of time as well....
I'm going to meet somebody tonight....We talked on the phone couple of times...He's from same Ethnic background as me, which makes it easier to understand him....I got really interested in his education background....He got master degree from the best university in my country....You got to be very very smart to get to that university.....then he got his PHD from USC which another good university.....
Friday he called me and we are suppose to meet this afternoon but we didn't say where to meet....well....I think today we will figure out....I will wait for his call....if by 2pm, he didn't, then I might call him....
these days, I see most of my friends found their partners or husbands or wives from online dating.....
I'm just trying hard to not be afraid and go forward....and be selective about my choice....I even go after profiles that I used to not look....for example, before I used to be into guy's look more than anything else....but now I know that's not good enough....he can be handsome outside, but not inside....
pls wish me luck
thanks

I met the guy number 2....and I didn't like him at all
I think I should keep looking....arggg....there is no short cut!
Interesting that I changed my first profile pic to another one with a white shirt verses the previous one with a black dress and now I'm getting more emails and winks....guys are really visualize....the reason that I changed was a young guy who told me he really loves that picture....hehehe....very interesting....good feedback....

so far two unsuccessful dates....but at least both guys were nice people....I just didn't have the chemistry with them.....

I'm so tired now....better I go to bed....love you all....I'm so happy that I can share my thoughts with you guys instead of telling friends....this means a lot to me....I haven't even told my friends that I'm on online dating site....then I won't have a pressure of them asking me how it is going....

thanks go to you guys
Marjan
