Do you think....?

Do you think you can really meet someone off of this site for a real 'relationship'.. not just casual, nsa, FB type stuff?  I'm just curious really.  After visiting other more 'conventional' social/dating sites I realised, they are just a more Disney like environment but at the heart lurks the same driver of 'hooking up for sex'.  That being so..where do people actually 'meet' and indulge in 'romance, relationships and commitment' type stuff?  Is it that dead now..or just not supported by internet sites?

^^^ I did too

Met someone here and it lasted 3 years ..however because we did meet on here, he didnt believe that the normal" rules" of a relationship - being you dont screw around without discussion and  being open and honest applied.....he always said that those "rules" didnt apply because we met on a sex site...so my advice to you is, that if my bloke thought that...MAYBE others will as well

 

Good luck though....who knows what the successful formula is ???

Yes yes yes! Romance still exists!

We met about 4 years ago through a different, but very similar site.  We were both looking for something "casual/Friends-With-Benefits" as we had both just come out of long term relationships and didn't want to get tied down (LOL). It didn't remain casual for very long though, we felt a really deep connection and we fell completely in love.  We've been living together for over 3 years now and plan on keeping each other forever :P (awwww, yes u can throw up now).  And a really awesome bonus is that because we share the same views on sex, we can indulge in our fantasies together, which makes our relationship even stronger.

Yes..

I've read a few profiles where the writer is at least open to something more than a bit o' fun, occasionally stating they're looking for a relationship.  Of course, I only read female profiles, so I can't speak for what may or may not be in the male profiles.
Personally, I'm not specifically looking, but not closed off to the idea of something developing...if it happens, it happens.
I agree with what you say about the more "vanilla" sites, too.  While they may be more PG rather than R- or X-rated, the underlying theme remains the same.

There are

People on this site who say that is what they are looking for,but I think the odds are against that actually happening.

However if that is what you are looking for,try other sites and agencies that do the matching and sorting for you.

Talk to your friends,they may know someone,be confident and optimistic OP and perhaps Mr Right,rather than Mr Right Now, will find you.x Hugs Hesione Optimist

You find them here, you find them there...

This is no different than the other conventional dating sites. The first thing I noticed was that a huge amount of the men on "the other site" are on here too! On there they proclaim to be looking for their soul mate, on here they aren't looking for anything serious just NSA fun.  Well, which is it gents????  You never know where you'll meet someone you have a great connection with. I'd love to find a great man who fits my profile, will I find him here?  Maybe, maybe not.  But if you don't look you won't find.

Its very possible...

I'm on here rather than the other dating sites because I don't want to take time getting to know someone only to find out they're vanilla.  If the sex is awesome, intimacy and love can follow after if you're open to it...  I'm an optimist ;-)

Yep, it is...

It is Hesione...rhetorical.  As many of my questions or posts are.  I don't necessarily subscribe to what I may write.  Sometimes, it's just in the interest of having a discussion.  It has gotten me in trouble at times, with more 'delicate' subject matter but..I think discussion and opening your mind to the opinions of others is a good thing...you just take from it what suits.

I think it all depends on....

How honest you are with yourself.  Be it male or female that are looking, if you can't be honest with yourself as to what you want, then you won't be honest with the person that you are interracting with.  That said though, it does have to be said that prepare yourself to wait, as being true to your own convictions doesn't necessarily mean you're going to score within the first few weeks of being here.

 

Just my take..

What are the chances?

I reckon the chances of meeting someone on here for a "real" relationship are about as good as meeting someone in a pub/club/ local supermarket/sunday school picnic. The disadvantage of this site is there is probably a higher number of wankers on here than you would meet on average or perhaps it is just that because it is a sex site they are less inhibited than they are in "normal" situations. The advantage of this site is it gives you fairly instant contact with a large number and wide variety of people and because it is a sex site there is likely to be less bullshit from people trying to spin you a line so they can fuck you. So I would say if you have an open mind , a sense of fun and don't take thing too seriously your chances of meeting "partner" on here are as good as anywhere else and if not you can certainly have a lot of laughs and fun on the way.

As real as they are...

Unfortunately the man  I fell for, was not the genuine article. He was packaged well, shiny and appealing, witty and exciting,  warm and caring...unfortunately he was like a tom cat, sharing himself everywhere, sampling red hot pies in different states of Australia. I suspect his memory was not that good, because he seemed to have forgotten that he had a wife at home. A fact he kept close to his chest and heart.

Absolutely!!

One of my very dearest of friends...

I met her and her (Then) partner on here..

He turned into a dick, like a fat slimy slug, crawling through the undergrowth.... she turned into a beautiful butterfly..

Her and I will be friends for life - this I am certain.

We had a few tendernesses, and she is now with another fella... I have never asked if he knows where and how we met, and that is of no matter anyway.

 

The HER and I part is a lovely friendship..

 

the future.. "Who knows??"

optimism is such a cool thing..

a few years back i was criticized for being too optimistic. i waggled my fingers poked my tounge out and tripped over someones roller skates as i walked away.

but i wonder if the living by the sword, dieing by the sword analogy may fit here?

I hope not...

for totally selfish reasons..

Why not?

I did! Well not this site but one very similar to it. We had only known each other for two weeks when he asked me to marry him. I have never been married, never felt the need and was more surprized than anyone else when I said yes.

Sex is a large part of any relationship. It is not THE only part and really is not important unless you get it wrong. At least on these sites you have the chance of getting the sexual side of things right first up.

Why not?

I know a few people who have met their partners through either this or other sites.
