has anybody here had a successful online relationship that translated into a real life relationship?.
would you consider having an online relationship if you haven't before?
what appeals in terms of online as opposed to real life?.
Well, I have met several very nice men on different dating sites. Since they are local, we actually met fairly quickly. Some of the guys had better online presence than in person. I never thought I would do the online thing, but...well, circumstances change. I don't think I post on here enough to garner any attention from anyone on the board and that is not something I have strived for. I think online dating has its place and is worth trying out.

i just dawned on me that we must be in paradise now!
after all 1975 brought the end of the world, for which end we all sacrificed having children, careers, interesting work, hobbies and oral sex.
i missed some of those things [some more than others], but in the end it was good to set foot in that new earth, especially once we got the stench from the 6,000,000,000 dead behind us, and the shite off our 'newly inherited' luxury automobiles [those damndable carion birds].
Great job--both of you. Still laughing. I needed to read that after a long day. Yes, the GB will be able continue to re-write history as they see fit. Maybe your cheetah could eat a few for a snack! My two favorite lines:
Of course, we don't work the 'wealthy hoods' now, since most of the brotherhood lives there now. We never called on one another before the big A, why would we do it now?
Their own strict manner of interpreting the well-intentioned counsel of the slave class, now numbering into the tens of thousands, is where the real fault lies.

i was the good little christian girl.
except for one brief blip on the radar, i dated only "brothers" and only with the view to marriage.
frankly, the attitude of the single brothers made me almost despise men.
So Free what was your personal opinion of all these guys that gave you this line???? Did you go along with their logic, or was it a turn-off?
kerj2leev, I am quite the cynic and I just took it that they had their mind made up that they had a good excuse to have an affair. "My wife doesn't have sex with me anymore" waaaaaa. Please...when was the last time he was concerned with her needs? I imagine my soon-to-be ex gave some similar excuse when he embarked on his affair even though he was the one who never wanted sex.

Junction-Guy--hey kudos to you for realizing that you need some therapy. It really does help for the broken marriage & any cultish ideas that still haunt you. Yes, definitely concentrate on getting yourself together first...you will have so much more to offer someone once you are ready to take that chance. A good therapist will walk you through that process too and help you pick someone more suited to you.
Lisavegas420--any dating "now" stories? sounds like you had some very typical dating "then" stories. The ruptured appendix story is a classic! Very funny even if that was not your intention.
Hmm..your shout out to Steve S makes me wonder....I had a Sandy S in my past...from NC. He was all that and a bag of chips...he was with someone the last time I saw him (2004) at a DA. Well, anyway...sometimes it is just best to have some beautiful memories I guess, but Sandy S if you read this...your green-eyed girl wouldn't mind talking to you.

Junction-Guy--you should definitely give it a try. What do you have to lose? You might have fun and meet some terrific women along the way.

kerj2leev--you betcha! I mean haven't women been blamed for their man straying 'cause they can't keep them happy. I can't tell you how many married men have given me that line as a reason they should have an affair.

Anewme--girl, I agree with everything you said. I am most definitely taking my time. I am still learning about myself and what I am looking for. I refuse to settle this go round. I want total package, I am worth total package, and I will give total package to the lucky man in my life.
many of us who were once jehovah's witnesses had a measure of happiness in our lives.
for me, i had a hope in the future, i had answers as to why we are all here, i believed in a loving god who looked after me and cared about me, i had answers to all of lifes big questions.. when i found out the truth about the witnesses, i was lost in a great big world and now had no answers other than the fact that what i once believed was "the truth" in actuality wasn't the truth.i now had to start all over in my search for truth.
for me, it wasn't long before i found what i thought was the truth since i always believed in the bible.
I was raised in the truth. The first glimmer of happiness I ever experienced was shortly after I was df'd and it has only gotten better as time has gone on. It did hurt to have all but my older non-witless brother shun me, but as time has passed I have just put them out of my mind. I went from being suicidal and severely depressed to NO medication, no more visits to therapists & psychiatrists. I enjoy life and I have replaced my flesh & blood family with some truly wonderful friends who have given me more support and love than I ever received in the Borg or from my siblings. There is a happy life after the Borg!

Anewme--that is so awesome that your hubby is doing the door holding after all those years! Sounds like you have got someone real special. I tend to lurk on the board, but in recent days I have been visiting more and commenting. I guess I never thought about meeting someone here as a potential date. Like I was reading the other day, when you want to meet someone you have to look around every where you go and have a positive attitude. You just never know who you are going to meet and where you are going to end up.

SB, I completely agree with you. I don't know that I will ever marry again--the experience was too painful the first go round, but I would not have a problem committing to a relationship or even living with a man. I feel so much freer sexually without all the dogma and "rules". I frankly never found anything in the Bible that specifically mentioned oral sex and whose business is it anyway? It is just refreshing for me to be with a man who desires & respects me.
I hate that your sister is a gossip, but at least you are happier than she will ever be in the Borg. And you sure are getting better sex than she could ever hope for in the Borg!
I am so happy that you found someone special. I hope that one day I will have that too.
