On line dating?

Starbrite- Dh (who I met on match and who had no kids before he met me!) happily wears his "I love hot moms" shirt!
ugadogg- You know what they say...quit looking for the one and he'll find you. I joined match and was honestly just looking for someone to go out with and have fun-nothing serious, but I met dh and knew he was the one! It will happen in time!
singleminnie- Good luck!

My bf is 35 and prior to meeting me a year ago had never been with anyone for longer than 3 months either and didn't care for relationships or "hooking up" with women. He preferred to be alone and got away from women very quickly as soon as he realized he was not happy. I don't see that as a bad thing.

Every guy is different and what each girl wants in a guy is different. This one just had a huge list of things he wanted in a girl (and didn't mind sharing it on the first phone call I ever had with him ) and was an extreme workaholic (not unlike my current bf but he knows how to balance). I personally wouldn't want to be with anyone that I was their first real relationship. I think I appreciate the person I'm with more because I've experienced many of the "losers" out there and how to work through relationship problems that happen in every relationship and wouldn't find them uncommon.

Paintnolish, I totally agree I am really only looking for someone to have fun with nothing really serious due to my kids right now, and I made that clear last night and he was totally alright with that! So if he is the man, he lead me to believe on the phone, he has some really good potential.

I don't mean to be a downer, but just remember, sometimes people aren't who they portray themselves to be....especially when you're talking, on-line chatting/dating.

Just something to keep in the back of your mind.

Best wishes to you!

Good luck to you, OP! I hope your date goes well!

I met my DH through Yahoo Personals ten years ago. It was free then. I think we were the two most boring ads on there and we clicked. We'll be married nine years in December. I love him so!!!!!

I met DH online also but very long ago before there were online dating sites and what not like there is now. We met through a website where you could find email pen pals. (wasn't even many chat rooms back then!! - 1995)

We emailed each other for nine months before he came and visited. When he visited we clicked well and he came back to visit and then I went there and so forth for the next 5 years. Now he moved here and we are celebrating our 8 year wedding anniversary next week.

I'm not sure where I stand on dating websites. My sister met her now ex husband on jdate.com (Jewish singles). They got engaged, got married, 7 months into the marriage he walks out. But, I have another friend who met her husband on match.com and they're now expecting their first child.

As for me, I have had no luck on the various dating websites. I meet a bunch of weeds on jdate, a lot of guys get scared off by what I do, apparently when they say they want a smart girl, they don't want a girl that's too smart. And yes, I've been told by one guy that he didn't want to talk to me after he found out I was in medical school. He told me that he didn't girls should be doctors. What I don't get is that it is written in my profile that I'm in medical school, and he messaged me, so whatever. I thought I met some great guys in person, I was dating this one guy a while back, and he was great, sweet, funny, etc. 7 months into our relationship, he decides he can't handle the fact that I was studying a lot and walked out. More recently, I was seeing this guy that was a friend of my sister's in high school. He really was perfect, you can ask anyone that knew the 2 of us, and they would say match made in heaven. He was witty, sharp, understanding, adventurous, smart, our dates were incredible and usually something a bit out of the ordinary. Well, he decided to take a job offer 4 hours away, and instead of telling me he was taking the job, he just stops talking to me. Doesn't call, doesn't email, nothing. I call him, and he told me he thought it would be easier this way so we wouldn't get too close. WTH?

So I guess I only seem to attract weeds, whether in real life or in person. And don't be afraid to use the ignore button, I've had to block a few guys that just wouldn't take no for an answer.

Sadly, I've been "not looking" for almost 8 years now and no one has found me yet. Like I said, I think I'm done, but I wish the best for everyone else.

Well I had my first date last night. He was a true gentleman, he brought me a yellow rose and we had a good dinner. We then went out for a glass of wine. Our conversation was real laid back and easy going, I think he will make a good friend, but I am not sure if I am or will be attracted to him, that makes me sad because I know he has not had much luck in the past and I got the impression he really liked me. He asked if he could kiss me at the end of our date, I agreed to it, but it did nothing for me I have agreed to go out with him again tomorrow night, I am keeping an open mind.

Glad it went well! Even if there wasn't a spark, it sounds like you had a nice time. Who knows where it will lead, even if it is just a friendship.
