Hello all,
I hope everyone is well.
Has anyone noticed that the dating society these days has gone down hill or is it just me?
I am a single parent and have been for around 8 months. Now in this time I have dated many different types of girls. Hell even some, where I thought there's no way and of course I was right but yet I still tried. From my experience I have found that finding that special someone, soul mate or even life partner is just not working. So after a lil  and thinking I might just be  I had to ask myself  is going on here? I was not able to come up with a good answer for this question. Final I decided that may be most people only think there looking for that specail someone, b/c inside they are either not happy, strong, on a level playing field or content with there life as it is at the present time.
Whatcha got? How do you guys and gals see the dating seen and what are your thoughts?

I think there are still some of us out there who are looking for that special someone to spend the rest of there life with. I think a lot of people would rather start over with some one new if the waters get a little rocky, because maybe thats what they saw growing up. But don't lose hope there are those who still believe. I spent 25 years with someone trying to make it work, it was only one sided. But i still believe theres a special guy out there who will make my next 25+ great.

the way I see it its not easy. Because alot of singel people
dont know what they really want. Yes they want to meet someone
they want all the stuff that comes along with a realationship
but they are not willing to work at it. Maybe fear of rejection
fear of commitment or just plain fear. People are tierd of taking
a leap of faith when meeting someone. FEAR.....

yes, there are some of us looking for the lifelong right partner; But........There is always that BIG WHAT IF thing that stands in my way. I too was married almost 23 yrs and tried my best to hold that marrige together until the last two years of it. I went through more things than i would actually tell anyone. Made that mistake already too.
Then i was in a on again- off again relationship for almost 7 years with who i really truely thought was the one who completed me. anyway blah,blah,blah,blah blah!!!
I could go on and on but now the only thing i feel is very sceptical! I hope God has a better plan for me than to live the rest of my days lonely. But i guess he's the only one that knows.

Well, I think that in the end...we all are looking for that
partner that we can spend our last days with. I certainly am.
I have been married twice...in between the two I spent 21 years
single. Not that I didn't have some long term relationships in
there...but they didn't work out. You just keep going on and
continue to look. I think that people are not meant to go
through life alone. I think you have to be positive and
know that eventually you will find the right person for you.
And along the way, you have to change and reorder yourself a
little too. Along the way you will make some special friends
if you are lucky.
Hopefully, eventually...you will get it right.
Sometimes its not a very straight path we take...but its
a path none-the-less.
And isn't it exciting when you do meet that person that you
feel could be the one????

I think people have become so self absorbed and it's all about them and their needs.
Men want a "barbie doll" and woman wants their "Ken".
Relationships takes trust, understanding and above all, the foundation is communication.
Look at the profiles on dating sights. Men are bare chested and woman have barely a loin cloth on. What does that tell you? What are they really after?
Over half the people you get to know are nothing as their profile states anyways.
I say hang in there and don't get so overworked about it. Let it happen. They say you will find the one when you least expect it and when you aren't looking.
Good Luck !!

I think a lot of people are, but within limits. Internet sites like this might even make it more difficult to find someone, considering all the time that is spent in front of a computer. How often does it happen that two people here (or other sites) find each other, get along great 'online' and maybe even on the phone, but, if they live hundreds of miles apart, and neither can move, what do you do? There is a line in my favorite musical, "Fiddler on the Roof" - a fish may fall in love with a bird, but where would they make their home? (or something like that) Anyway - to answer the question - 17, I think 17 people are trying to find their life partner.

I get alot of the "your to young to settle down you have your whole life to live"...lol well i feel that life begins when you are whole as a person.When you feel that your complete mind body and soul...i think that you can't fully be complete with out your partner.Im still looking for my soulmate/life partner...now i know some would say that if you need someone eles to be complete then you are weak...i beg to differ....i think that being complete means finding parts of youself on the road of life and i think that a part of that comes from finding that special someone.We all feel it don't we?...that there's someone out there for us.Think about it...the world is way to huge for there not to be someone for all of us...people have grown cold now a days...and have begin to say"I don't need anyone...all i need is myself,and there's no such thing as soulmate"...that cant be true...why?...because then love wouldn't exsist...the word would have no meaning.I think thats why dating has become so crazy...because people have forgotten the true meaning of love,people have forgotten what it means to except others for who and what they are.Everyone has become so picky over looks and how much they own...and have forgotten that none of that stuff matters...when you put aside all the material things and jsut see others for who they really are.If you see that someone is not intrested in you,then you move forward...but most(not all)dont do that.Some people hold grudges after there first bad relationships.And then when we try dating it doesnt work out because people hold back there true feelings...so yeah dating has become chaotic...but none the less i guess we still need to try it...because eventually we will come accross that special someone and will no longer need dating.

Everyone has problems bro,
i think everyone needs to talk and its good to have someone to talk to, if you cant talk about everything it eats a person up, i put my shit out there alot thats just me though, if nobody wants to hear it i dont talk about it, everyone ive chatted with understand life and its problems so im happy with the friends ive met here and when im asked how things are going im happy that they care and i listen to others also, i dont mind hearing anything someone wants to talk about because if its mentioned its on their mind why not try to help someone feel better about their life.....
