Not that I am ready for dating in any way, but I thought it would be nice to connect with some men in my area.. maybe even go on some casual dates.

So far, I'll be honest. I am not seeing much that interests me But i thought it worth a try anyways. Might help me break out of my Bitterness from last ex.

The site is called PlentyOfFish. It seems nice, and its free. And you get to maintain control over what others see, which I like too.

Are you ready for this change right now (or) is it more of the baby blues that have you going stir crazy for adult human contact?

Just thought I would throw that question out there for you to think about.

Either way........................ Good Luck.

If you find no one who interests you, I think these sites are great for comic relief....some of the profiles and emails guys send out can be quite funny Not to mention you can read right through them as to what they really want....LOL

Then again, there is always that one chance there might be a connection out there for you.....ya never know Wishing you much luck and a few good laughs!

Weeeeelllllllllllllll I met my hubby in a ADHD chat room and I have been with him for six years now best thing I ever did was get up the bottle to go and meet him ..... Boy it was scary the first time as you never really know if they have been telling the truth or not for all I knew he could of been an axe murderer !

Good luck and happy hunting lol.

yeahhhh Ive had a few laughs already. Some "omg, are you KIDDING ME???" moments and some "HA! Not if that was the last man on earth" moments. And yes you really can see right through them based on their profiles most times.

[TaintedGoth1]

OH NOOOO!!!!! lmao!!!!

But seriously...I've never had any luck with the internet dating thing but hey, you may meet someone special in time.

[Irine]

i thoguht you were married well if you are not have fun

HOW FUNNY IT IS THAT THIS IS JUST THE THING I DID MYSELF RIGHT NOW

RIGHT NOW i signer up to a dating site myself

we are at the same....hehe

[snowflake_48888]

I did online dating. I was always careful of where we met and I had a couple of friends that new where I would be and who I was with. I had a cell phone and would call and check in with them. I felt safer that way.

[youOme]

I don't know why, but I sort of assumed there was a fella there with you. Who knows, I think I may have thought I seen you type something about a fella.

Anyway, ain't nothing wrong with just looking. It can be a lonely place when you're at home with the baby....I know. I used to feel guilty because I convinced myself that I should be completely satisfied with just my baby and me. Even though it's your number one love...the baby ain't much of a conversationalist if you know what I mean. As long as your taking your time, I believe it's healthy. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Des, there was a fella.. we broke up one week before I got pregnant and I moved out when I was three months pregnant. Ive *****ed about him plenty enough on here though for being an irresponsible drug addict.. so you may be thinking of that.

Im certainly not looking for anything serious, and im DEFINETLY not looking for a surrogate daddy.. though it would be nice if i married someday and Jeremy had a step dad that loved him its not my approach.

I did start talking to this guy today and he seems nice. Hes 35 though so Im not sure where it will go... is that too old? Im almost 26...

Anyways. Taking my time for sure.

and I SO have those same feelings of guilt...and needing conversation.

welllllll I talked to the guy, "Derek" for a couple hours tonight on msn. We have very similar interests! And, hes charming, and a gentleman, and sort of handsome. And lo and behold, not a drug addict or alchoholic, has a job AND runs his own business.. lol.

He said he would like to take me to dinner or cook me dinner, so we said we would talk more about it next week.

The great thing about living in this small place is now that I have his first and last name I can "check him out", someone is bound to know him that I know lol.

Anyways, he seems nice, and i think I will have a friendship wth him and go from there. No expectations on either end yet which is how I want it.

Though this was sweet - he said he might cry when he saw the baby because hes always wanted one probably just trying to make me feel better but i thought it was very sweet of him to say.

Come on dont leave us hanging on ....

How old is he ? What does he look like ? How tall is he ? lol not that I am nosy lmao.

hes....

35

Looks like this:

(dont worry I asked first, hes fine with it)



and THIS is what his profile detailed...

I am Seeking a
Woman
For
Talk/E-mail

Do you drink?
Socially
Marital Status
Single
Profession - stocks pop and have own computer business fixing and selling computers
Do you want children?
Undecided/Open
Do you do drugs?
No
Do you have children?
No


We have been chatting lots. Getting to know each other. We had a serious conversation about the fact that I have a new child who comes first, and that I WONT rush into anything for multiple reasons which I did not disclose. Those reasons being last relationship, jeremy, and just not ready....

I was explaining to him not to expect too much from me money wise, because I was on welfare and a single mom.. he said "thats ok, is there anything I can bring you that you need?"

I said it was very sweet of him to say but I am very independant and dont want to rely on anyone else but me to take care of him.

OOOOOOHHHHHHH Dont know why but I am really excited for you ! oops dont tell hubby but I think he looks great ! Keep us updated PLEASE...............

I think this is so cool I feel like a voyuer (sp) lol.

[Christina86]

Plentyoffish is a cool site. I joined it, but haven't had much luck (although I've had some good convos with a few guys).

Glad you're having a good time with this.

[seeker1950]

Rainbowzz, He does sound sweet, and looks fine.
I've done a lot of Internet dating in the past, though not for 4 years now after the last one. A word of advice: don't tell him about your membership here, don't use the same name online at your dating site that you use here. One's identity here on PC seems safe, but other forums can pop up with a simple internet search of your user name, such as on Yahoo or MSN forums, and your personal thoughts, if you've posted about them, are there for everyone to see. I know, because it happened with my last dating experience, someone I had met online, and really liked!
Anyway, good for you for getting "out there," in the words of Seinfeld!
LOve
patty

thanks guys!
And yeah seeker this website is kept different for that reason

Well, I don't think things panned out well lol but im sort of amused about the whole experience.

Okay, I think I might have been dumped, even though I wasn't aware I was even in a relationship ::

Oh well, that was fun for a week or so ::

idgafrig, on to bigger, better, and possibly richer hopefully ::

After he left the other night we chatted breifly when he got home. I thought he seemed a little distant, but couldnt figure out if that was just my insecurity over him suddenly "getting sick" or if he was just sick or what. anyways we made more plans and then he said he would chat me tomorrow.

Well i woke up the next day, he had closed his account on the dating site LOL. And, no sign of him at all online. I emailed, no response. Waited. No sign of him. Thought maybe he was just sick so I waited another night.

Today the suspense was killing me so i called. Took me a good hour to work up the courage to call. Spent an hour sitting with the number dialed into my cell phone finger on the send button but no gumption to press send.

Finally my friend cory egged me on to do it on msn so i did.

ANSWERING MACHINE. how anti climactic is that? lol. I was hoping for SOMETHING at least, even if it was like getting told off or something hehe.

I left a nice neutral message but he hasnt called back so i figure:

1- Ive been sacked/dumped for being my weird n freaky self lol(i consider weird n freaky a compliment)
2-hes REALLY sick or been hospitalized
3-he was actually married and his wife caught him or something

You are now moving on lol......

If he wants you he will get in contact but in the mean time start looking around, and dont forget to keep us informed !

well its a good thing I dont ever jump to wild conclusions

he messaged, all is fine, hes just sick. And coming to make me dinner sometime this week
