The ***OFFICIAL*** Weekend Singles' Thread – Father’s Day Weekend (June 16 – 18, 2006)
Just us! | 06/16/2006 | Hoodlum91 and RockinRight

Internet Dating:

Meeting the Parents:

Now, for some fun questions to kick off tonight’s thread!

1. Have you been on a date with someone you met on the Internet?
2. Did the date go well? Did a relationship result?
3. Did you meet them on a dating site or elsewhere? Was it totally by accident or chance?
4. Do you have a funny, gross, scary, or otherwise entertaining internet dating story to share? Either one that happened to you, or someone you know.
5. Any funny or interesting “meeting the parents” stories?
6. Has meeting the parents ever caused a breakup?
7. And, finally, have you ever set up a “backup” scenario to get out of a potentially bad date?

I'll get back to you tomorrow. Nighty night.

Good night Victoria..

On that song, nevermind, I actually got smart and remembered that Canteen was open tonight, got them working looking into it. They are so nice, I am surprised more people don't take advantage of it.

You need to get a thicker skin. FR can be bruttle without one. Don't slink off. ;0)

Sorry I dropped off. I lost my internet connection completely.

I've known a couple of people who have found someone and married them via the internet.

However, one must be careful. There are an awful lot of married men seeking affairs and con men who will try to scam you.

Internet dating has gotten to be like the "meat market" bars of the 70's.

Sorry but I don't know of a good dating website. Those that advertise a lot like Match and EHarmony aren't terribly reliable (even though I'm registered on Match) because married and con men are members too.

One simply has to be very, very careful not to release too much personal info and be able to read between the lines.

Count me on the side of saying "I WANT YOU TO STAY" , kind sir.

You have been a warm & thoughtful contributor to this thread & most would want to continue to get to know you.

Folks, you would NOT BELIEVE the venom in FReepmail & even email I have received ~ And yes even some good old FReeper FRying over at Clown Posse because of this thread.

I have found most of the people here are decent people. It is so disturbing to me when minor disagreements or hurt feelings make one feel they must leave.

We aren't going to all be bosom buddies. We will have some we like better than others & some we just really don't care for. But that is okay. Just don't engage the people you don't like.

All of us have different stories. Some are young & just starting out on the life adventure. Wisdom & experience adds a lot to the normally high intelligence I see at FR in general.

The seasoned among us (Older n dirt types) have some years under our belt to know the bigger picture. I hope we can all be patient with each other. We don't have to love each other, but all of us should avoid a mean spirit. Let's save that for the RATS! - not each other.

I am writing this to all participants on list not just ButThreeLeftsDo. Will NOT ping list for it. The regulars do catch up. Any further thoughts would be appreciated. And ButThreeLeftsDo, you comments are the reason this thread exists.. "great meet & greet place". We have umteen threads for political heavy talk & banter. This is different. It is a gathering of friends of all ages & all walks of life & all mentalities on a number of issues.

We want to keep our thread viable & strong presence here at FR. some weeks it will be sparce & other weekends busy due to schedules & just our moods perhaps.

good points!

I registered on Conservative Singles on the recommendation of several here.. I did not do a paid membership but just tested the waters. Seemed to be some nice guys there but again, one must be careful. I have not followed through with any just for personal reasons of being a bit overwhelmed here with some things in life & feeling the time just isn't right for this.

Right now I am re-investigating a relationship from 3 years ago that I ended, long story but the ending is still a question.
