J found me only after I'd given up looking.

Could not agree more. I was a wild one in University. in fact, about a month before I met my guy I dumped the TWO guys I was dating, (neither knew about the other) and told myself I was done looking. And I was. Then Brian popped up outta nowhere are won me over

that truly is how it works, when you are 'hunting', men sense that as well as women sense that in men when they are doing the same thing.
Once you feel good about you, you lose that urgency and are much calmer about it and it shows, we all give off something, self confidence is very alluring... desperation is not attractive (not saying YOU are...just saying is all) and others sense it.
It is so true once you stop looking and chill a bit, men are knocking on the door like crazy... funny how that works!

I am not familiar with many men who want a "chill a bit" woman ...when we know you are looking we can avoid the whole game playing and get to where we are going...
just my opinion0 -

It was in reference to woman not seeking out men in a desperate way. To instead chill out a bit.... gain a sense of themselves then perhaps they will then not feel so desperate.0 -

I don't know ANY men who are out looking for a woman that's anxious as heck to get married and pop out little ones. If you're in a rush to find a man it can come off as desperate. I think that's what FC meant?0 -
This isn't games, it's about building up a womens self esteem so she doesn't have to feel incomplete without having a man, then when the time is right... the time is right. This works the same for males

I don't believe i made any mention of game playing nor do I offer that as a solution. Game playing has it's place on game board, otherwise I agree it's not the best way to start a relationship0 -
I also met my guy online.... although I hadn't planned on meeting someone online, our computers set us up!
A quiz website we both were members of added a dating section. As existing members we got 3 free "communications" and like a lot of other sites you could send "Winks" or "I'm interested" notes..... So, I got one from him. I checked out his profile, he lived in the next town - his IQ matched mine and a lot of the quizzes we'd taken made us "a match"- so I contacted him as one of my freebies. We IM'd and emailed for about a week, then added phone calls and 2 weeks later we met for ice cream. We spent every single weekend together for the following 2 years after which we moved in together (it's been 4 years now living together, just about 6 we've been dating)
Oh.... turns out he never sent me that "wink" - he said he got one from ME!!! :laugh: I guess the website was pushing to get people to use that dating section by sending out random (or maybe by location) winks! Neither one of us ever did have to pay for it.

I think what FC and I were trying to say was that although you shouldn't close yourself to opportunity, sometimes it's best to relax about the whole process and not feel so urgent about finding someone that you may settle for someone who's not a good match. Just my $.02.

so sorry we're not all right each time we speak on MFP like you feel you are dave... we're all humans, why must you try and instigate problems when all us females are doing is discussing issues on relationships?

Mission accomplished, I'd say!0 -
Thanks Kerri and Manda...sometimes a discussion among females simply doesn't compute with the opposite sex as I'm quite sure some conversations among men are ones we steer clear of at times:drinker:0

It was actually the first time I'd ever met anyone on the internet that I went on to meet in RL, I'm ashamed to say I teased my brother mercilessly about meeting his girlfriend on the web, then ended up marrying a guy I met on a fitness website!! lol.. just goes to show - it could happen to anyone!:drinker:0 -
there's this huge stigma attached to meeting and forming bonds with people online. I don't get it. It's certainly no more dangerous than meeting someone in a bar or the like. You do have to be careful (public at first and all that) but I'd say the same about ANYONE you've just met. It's amazing that so many of us have found love online. :flowerforyou:0
-
I agree - I'm a lot more comfortable with it now than I was before -:laugh: :laugh: I guess I've just never been the type to go out with the intent to meet someone, at bars or clubs and things like that, so it seemed equally uncomfortable to meet a virtual (no pun intended) stranger and then find myself talking for hours and hours and developing very real feelings - I tended to meet the people I dated at work in some aspect or another, and usually saw people with mutual friends for a few months before I put myself in a dating situation. I was what you would call... a paranoid hermit. Lol... I know that when I first told my family/friends about J I was a little concerned about their reactions, but everyone was a lot more accepting than I thought, the only teasing was light-hearted, and actually helped me to relax.
I think all of our stories are pretty amazing.
I never realized how many people met their spouse on the internet, until I did, and started talking about it. 0 -
this may be a bit personal but have you gotten used to the biting now?Our parents were best friends through high school and after...His nana used to babysit me when I was about 3 and he was 2. He used to bite me and I hated him. Went through school together as mostly acquaintances, really. I went away to college, then came back...and we were both coaching, started dating, got married. The End.

I met my husband on the day I arrived at my first duty assignment. He was a Cop working the gate and pulled me over for not have my identification handy while I was in a cab with the meter running.0

I met my hubby in court. He was the prosecutor in a case where I was a witness. I thought he was arrogant, rude, impatient and down right mean! so I married him, figured he had soo many qualities that I have, it was to good to be true! :laugh:0

how frighteninglol...online.
Not frightening at all. I met my beloved on line in a chat room. We talked for months and then decided to meet in person. We dated long distance ( he was in Atlanta and I was in Toronto) for almost 2 years until the Canadian government gave us permission to be together. We have been married for 4 1/2 years and he is truly the love of my life.
You know... you can get anything on-line these days....even an awesome husband!0 -

:glasses: I met my current husband at a Company pic nic. He had just broken up with his long time girlfriend who also worked in our building. She qualified as a Cougar, if you know what I mean. Her daughter worked in my department, and my ex-inlaws also worked in the building. To say the least, it was egg-walking time most days of the work week. On our first date, he told me that he had two kids by his previous marriage, but, he didn't have custody of them and he rarely ever saw them. I was to later discover that in fact he lived within 5 minutes of his ex and his kids and the kids dropped in on him all the time and stayed with him every other weekend and a full week during the summer. When I asked him why he told me such a big lie about how close he was to his kids, he told me that he was afraid I wouldn't date him if I even knew he had kids, much less how often he saw them, because I didn't have any kids of my own. He also told me that he wouldn't have asked me out if I DID have kids of my own. Men have a double standard in almost ever thing they do.0

I found a newspaper ad for this Christian Dating and Friendship Service. He lived in Upstate New York and worked out the Wal-mart there. We started writing letters and talked on the phone for every day for 6 months, starting in April of 2002, and then he transfered to the Wal-Mart here and moved here to be with me on September 16, 2002, and we got married on April 5, 2003, we have been together ever since and we have 2 kids, Anna Grace, 31/2 years old and Jacob Quint, 19 months old. We are very happy, and I always want it to be that way!!!!!!!!! 0

All these stories gives me hope! I know I am only 24 but everyone around me is getting married. I kind of get the feeling im not the marrying type :brokenheart: :ohwell:0

I met her online at a site called Anonidate. It's anonymous as the name suggests, until you give out info of course. You just write a little profile on there.
It's a site for geeks/gamers and whatnot, and I was really only on there because i was curious about it.
She messaged me on there during the summer and I talked to her a little on instant messenger but we didn't hit it off until right before we met.
When we met we were just going to be friends but after a month or so we couldn't hold back our feelings for each other. We've been happily together for 9 months now!
She's also 10 years older than me so my parents weren't too happy with that... :laugh:0
