    I wonder... when you're working so hard to improve yourself is that really the right time to attempt focusing time and energy on a relationship as well?

    Normally I would say no but if you were doing this together it might not be as stressful because each other understands what the other is trying to achieve. And keep in mind a lot of bing eating is done because we're lonely or depressed...which would be lessened if you are in a relationship. JMHO

    Guys, anyone who would wear these shoes is worth knowing...just saying!

    If you build it they will come.....and those who come may not be the ones we want here. Just a thought to ponder! Maybe just a singles thread would work best. There are people out there that like big people and this would be the perfect place to find us! I have done online dating and there are some serious sickos! This is a safe haven for us to support our weight loss, I don't think this would be a good mix. But I think a thread for singles would be good and you never know what connections could be made.

    I was thinking of more like a catagory like, they have fitness, recipes, support...singles!

    But I think if you do a catagory it may come up in a search engine and then it could really bloom into something, and not neccesarily a good something.

    I totally agree that the last thing we need to do is get a bunch of creepy, scary people on the site...OK where's my techies to tell me how we do this and not invite the unwanted?

    Im single(23). In the Houston, Texas area! DFW is kinda far away from me.
    I think it would be cool to meet someone on here that you can get involved with that can help support your healthy lifestyle not hinder it. The support would be great. And I always love a girl for who she is, not what she looks like.

    I was wondering if MFP offered a dating posting catagorie would anyone here sign up? After all, they say it's easier to lose weight when you have someone to lose with! How about it? Any takers?

    Probably have to change the basic format of dating. Maybe we could skip the going out to dinner and make it a more healthy endeavor?

    If you set it up, let me know. I'll ask my wife.

    I'm single myself also...21, Central Florida...would sure be nice to find a healthy relationship, mentally, emotionally and physically! I've dated several guys, most of them overweight, one of them a pot smoker that ate fried food and unhealthy crap, raided my fridge for munchies, etc. I only dated one guy who was fit and healthy, and only because the military forced him too, and he took it too far, 3+ hours of exercise a day was his usual, and he generally preferred to exercise than to make time to spend with me. I'd like to find someone living a healthy life, with goals to take care of themselves and their life. I've been a healthy weight all my life, but with unhealthy food choices, and I'm turning that around, it would be refreshing to find others like me.

    HAPPY STORY:
    I know two MFPers who met on the site, starting long distance dating, and are now married. (Jeremy and Manda) They don't frequent the boards anymore but the veterans might remember them.

    BTW, "dates" can be going hiking and other activities. Dates don't have to focus on food people, so long as you grab some food to fuel your body for hiking or bike rides or walking or going roller skating, etc. :smile:


    SAD STORY:
    Other people have dated on this site, and discovered that like everywhere else on the internet, the person they were dating wasn't really who they thought they were. Think of that Brad Paisley song.... "Online"
    Link to that video cause it's hysterical: http://www.cmt.com/videos/brad-paisley/158728/online.jhtml
