Anyone try online dating sites?

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

So I don't know what it is, but the cologne I wear must have home-wrecker pheromones in it or something.

This is the third married woman in a matter of 3 months that has expressed the extreme interest in getting me to do very bad things. This is not something I'm broadcasting or looking for.

For example, I saw this girl Saturday night I went to high school with. We caught up for a minute and met her husband who was a very nice guy. Very quiet. We said our goodbyes or whatever and I thought that was the extent of it. I get home a couple hours later to a Facebook message detailing how sexy I was and how she had forgotten how I made her feel and detailed some explicit acts she wanted to perform O.o

I would like to say this is something that I'm not proud of. In fact, I would say it's souring me on the idea of marriage and questioning the belief of it's sanctity. I don't get it.

I'm a firm believer that some people get married, just to get married.

It shouldn't sour you in anyway, just don't marry the 'wrong' person. Lots of people 'settle' for whatever reason.

Which is funny you say that, because she had said something to the extent of, "I did what I thought I was supposed to do, settle down and get married" during our chat.

Just another reason I think getting married before 24-25 is stupid.

Exactly...I think a lot of these people feel they "should" get married, so they marry a guy they dated 2 years even if they're not that into them.

Or they get married too soon in order to move in together or something like that.

I hate when married people cheat, just man up and get out of your relationship if you're not happy. Cheating is horrible IMO.

Exactly. I think marriage is a beautiful thing and you'll know yourself if you are in the 'right' one. I like to think most of us on here and a little different than the 'average'.

I just broke up with m girl of 2 years and change a few months ago...it just wouldn't work out in the long run...and she was ready to take the next step. I just knew deep down that the stress and arguments weren't how things were suppose to be.

Example, I know many of you have seen pics that say something along the lines of keep fighting for it to show the love is real...or something or another like that...to me, that's part of the problem. I think people are too afraid to start over and think that 'fighting' for their love is better, in the end nothing will change. People need to learn to be able to live and stand on their own first.

Valentine's is going to be interesting for me also. We're exclusive with each other but not officially in a relationship yet (its been 5 weeks I think). Might just get her a small gift and some chocolates. As of now nothing else is planned. We are going to a hockey game the day after though.

So things are going well now?

It depends on the person. Most of my friends got married before 25 and they had been dating the person they married for years. Others had kids so there might have been other influences, say a shotgun or two, that encouraged it. I'm liable to be married before 25 as I've been dating my current girlfriend for over 3 years. If your longest relationship hasn't touched a year, then absolutely, you are crazy to do it.

Going to see another play again next Friday. Would like to hang out again this weekend and not have to wait another week, but we'll see. Already talking about "fixing" my lack of extra controllers and picking out co-op games to play.

I'm going through Marriage Prep through the Catholic Church (the Dioceses of Phoenix has a lot of requirements, more than other places) and they make you take a bunch of classes, along with a test that tries to determine things like this.

Annoying for us because we're a smart couple, but I can see the benefit since they're trying to cut down on the number of divorces. So many people get married without thinking about what it really means.

I met my wife on OkCupid a few years back.

We just welcomed our first child into the world, a daughter, 7 weeks ago. She arrived on 12/21/12 (Doomsday Baby) just in time for Bowl Season to start- she loved hanging out with "Dad" for bowl season.

Plus, I got paternity time off for work so I was home the entire bowl season.

OkCupid changed my life. Seriously.

Considering shutting mine down...cannot find ANYTHING. All these girls are 3's at best.

Just keep drinking they'll be 10's soon enough.

Honestly, I think he's expecting too much. To think every woman in his area is a 3 at best is alarming.

I'm all for you go for what you expect but to say 3 is insulting. I very rarely see 3s in the world. He is saying all of them have congregated in his online area?

I find it hard to believe.

I live in a town of like 15,000 plus a college of about 10,000...but I'm assuming all the attractive girls have been able to meet people without the aid of the internet.
