hello!

hey there OLDers! I wanted to say a hello. I kind of dropped off from most of my online appearances - mostly because I haven't been working the last 4 weeks ;) - and my time online was at work. Definetly ironic.

anyone in a relationship yet? I need to catch up and see.

I stopped my match acct. No success story of meeting someone the day before my subscription ended ... And I doubt I'll meet that special person online. I kinda had the feeling when i started OLD 6-9 months ago. But hey I met some interesting people and some really bad people

I am dating this guy i had met online - but it wasn't match or a dating service. Just a place where people are connected thru friends. Spontaneous - and turned into something the last four weeks. But not going to go anywhere because of the places in life he and i are. Very very different. But hes been great to have fun with - and we talk all the time, and see each other frequently. Just nothing real passionate there. Funny how we get what we want only to see that one thing missing - is the deal breaker. Hope that made sense.

Anyways, the other parts of my life are needing more attn these days, so dating has been on the back burner.

hope you all are great and enjoying OLD the best you can - missed alot of the regulars and the personalities the last few weeks ive been gone! I will catch up and start posting again....xoxooxox

Hey surfergirl! I had been wondering about you and some our other folks that have dropped off for a while! Was the not working a good thing? Hopefully it was not bad but we've missed you out here.

Sorry to hear that the guy won't work out but it sounds as if you are handling it really well. But you (and peanut!) were always the one to just say "c'est la vie" when things don't work out.

Well, as for me, there are some recent and fun developments. I revised my picture on Match and I started getting a lot more traffic. I am talking to one guy and I think we will meet this week. BUT, my guy that I went out with in December that was the friend of a friend has resurfaced too! We had kept in touch since we went out and any time we would see each other, there were still sparks but he hadn't asked me out until last week. We went out, had a GREAT time and should see each other this week. He is really the one I would like to be with - we have so much in common and the chemistry is unbelievable, but in an effort to not put all my eggs in one basket, I am keeping up with the other guy from Match.

Glad you are back!

Hey SG,

Good to hear from you again. I have been away for a little while myself. I am going to start posting again though, cause I miss everyone too. I have just been reading through a lot of posts today and trying to catch up on how things are going with everyone. Vexer and CGun, good for both of you. I am glad things seem to be going well.

I will try to make it to chat tonight.

Good to hear from you Surf!


I have been lurking and not posting much lately. My profile has been down from match since the beginning of the month. Needed the break. Thinking about putting my profile back up. Nothing new on my dating life. Oh well...just not my time I guess.

thank you gals. seems like you all are doing ok! glad you are still w/ R , cgun.

vexer - sounds lik eyou've got someone steady. hey in OLD world that is an accomplishment in itself! and yes definetly Ive still got that attitude c'est la vie :). the guy is cool and if he wants I'd still like to hang out as friends.

thyst, dont worry your time will come ;). I keep telling myself too.

It seems there are no guys out there who really "spark" anything in me. anyone seen the episode of sex and the city where carrie explains shes looking for that love that just makes your bone quiver - not in those exact words but she goes on to say shes looking for that great love. I am. And I think i'm at a pt where I'm not willing to settle with anything else. Why it wont work w/ this current guy.

>>carrie explains shes looking for that love that just makes your bone quiver...<<

Um, yeah, I'd like to find that, too. But I think we might be talking about different things. :)

>>Why it wont work w/ this current guy.<<

Because he's not the one. I honestly believe that after some number of dates... say, somewhere from a few to a dozen, we can tell in our hearts if someone is (or at least is a possibility to be) The One.

But we ignore that, because we are somewhat attached to them and them to us, and we know that it's going to hurt a bit when we separate ourselves from them, so we hesitate and tell ourselves all those little lies.

Our good friends, though, can listen to us and the honest/blunt ones can say "you are telling me reasons why it won't work instead of reasons that it will" and be right.
