Life Advice

There's something I have been thinking about in regards to dating. This I think applies more to online dating specifically. I think it goes without saying that if you don't talk to people, don't engage in conversation, reply, get to know someone, you won't develop a relationship. From time to time, I've seen profiles or gotten messages saying "I'm not here for fun. Serious relationships only." I engage in basic conversation like "How is your day, tell me about your hobbies and goals, got any fun trips or holiday plans, ect." Just normal conversation pieces. But the responses is "I'm not interested in making Internet friends. I'm looking for a husband." ...Ok. I respect your focus on that goal. But how are you going to meet your future spouse if you deem attempting basic conversation with you as a turnoff and immediately shut down interaction? You will literally meet and get to know nobody, thus no relationship will develop. Am I missing something? Am I weird for thinking you have to talk to people and get to know them to develop a relationship with them? Or is there some part of this process that skips this I am not aknowledging is a thing now?

Weeeeell... Thing is... It might just be... PERHAPS...Just possibly ... Maaaaaybe... They're not interested in getting to know you? No one is owed a thing and even less online. Don't let it make you forlorn because people reject or neglect your attempts at conversation online. Frustration is a mighty powerful scent.

I think as annoying and spamming as a chat window could be, it would do this place wonders. Surprised there was never that sort of element added. A GROUP one that is. I like chatting in groups more than one on one. Because at least then it's not individual people trying to carry a conversation.

Nothing is gonna change, this place has been around since 2009/10.lol It'd be great to have something like yahoo chat rooms back in the day, though.

This site needs an overhaul on updating and advertising to bring in a wider audience. It would also be profitable to have ads on the site and so many people looking at said ad. This site showed alot of potential and it still does. Just needs to get with the times.
