Personals (page 2)

thinkers wife

I recommend it highly. Thinker and I got married June of 2000. We are both happier than we have ever been.
But as with any relationship building, you have to be totally honest. Careful of course and trust that the other person is the same.
I dated a lot of men before Thinker. Some were nice, some were losers. But it was a good learning experience.
Also very important. You absolutely must know yourself and look for someone who fulfills your wants and needs. The tricky part is finding someone whoes wants and needs you fulfill.

Like Jayhawk1, I had dated many men. Along with being engaged to a handfull of them. Honestly, I had gotten to the point of nearly haiting men all togther and had considered turning into a Lesbien. So with me, I had put out an in yahoo before they started charging for the personals. I had ended up with some really neet responces from It. Some where scientest that where in there forties, some where therapists, And others where from other Countries if not in other Countries. Then I had met Jayhawk1 and I am so glad that I did. Now Im getting married to him and my little will have a teriffic and wounderful dad. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

My sister has answered a couple of adds online and after getting aquainted met them in person.
They were disasters and she doesn't know if she will ever do it again.

One of the guys Who is in his 30's was nice as can be but there were two things about him that were a total turnoff for her.

I thought it was funny.

#1 he smoked alot.

#2 he was absolutly obsessed with his mickey mouse collection.
Wears a Mickey wrist watch and all.
Talks about it and Disney world all the time.
Not a sexual turn on for her.

She said he was crazy over her and she just knew it wasn't going to work and was trying not to hurt his feelings.

I read the personals for fun every once in a while, but I would never consider posting one or responding to one... I did meet my boyfriend on-line, thanks to the profiles that AOL has... I was bored one night and was just reading ones from the single men in my county, and his I just couldn't resist... I had never im'd someone like that before but if I didn't I would never know... his was just so different and quoted something that not too many people know about!!! We chatted for 6 months before I met him and that was 2 years ago, and we have been dating ever since. He is a really great guy and we will soon be getting engaged... I have never been happier with any other man in my life... thank god I got up the guts to send that IM...

I switched from catching babes on the dance floor (I was a hot shot dance instructor in college) to using personal ads in the mid 1980's. I've had fantastic success with it. I've actually had 3 of the personal ads I wrote for myself win awards for creative writing (from the singles magazines I used to put them in) and of course I now just use the Internet. The most response I ever got from an ad was about 180 woman writing to me, and the most actual dates I got from one ad was somewhere around 14. I have had nearly all my social interactivity in recent years from personal ads and have successfully used them to start relationships.

I've found what really works incredibly well is a combination of clever humor, honesty, and fantasy. The really nice thing about using email, IM, and other chat in talking to someone before you meet them in person is to find out what type of person they are inside. When I date f2f without doing this, I have other objectives in mind besides that, and it takes longer that way because of the uh...pleasant distractions.

You left out, Must have flat head.

so you'll have a place to set your beer.[:l?]

I never took out or answered an add but I have
several friends that have. My roomy had
an add out when I met him(on a blind date)
I think all of the women who answered his add
must have been professionals cause all they
seemed to want was money.

Ok, because of this thread (and tremendous boredom!) I surfed thru some online personals the other evening and I gotta tell ya....

THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN HELL!!!!!!!! Geez, half the pics were scary! I'm happy for those of you who have had successful relationships thru the personals, but I guess I'm a wimp coz this gal just isn't going that route.

Well, time to share another disaster with you.

I met a woman online that was a sweet person. Her former boyfriend had cheated on her and she said she was ready to move on. We talked online and by phone for about two weeks before I met her. The first date was great. I even met some of her family, and they were great people too.

We continued to write each other and talk on the telephone. The second date was a couple weeks later. I went a considerable distance to her home to see her. When we met, she broke down and started crying. I held her tight thinking I had just drove nearly four hours to be dumped. It turns out she wanted to go back to her former boyfriend, but before she did, she wanted to get even with him by screwing as many men as she could.

I still think she is a nice woman, but at the time a little mixed up. Although I no longer wanted to date her, I did keep in contact for a few weeks after I last saw her.

I don't want to scare anybody away from trying the personals, but do be careful.

Is this a light saber in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?
