I have to find humor in it or I may cry, rofl! <br /><br />@Sandi That's really good idea. My best friend has tried suggesting something similar, but its going OUT to these single group outings. The idea horrifies me, lol. But I think I could handle an online interest group. <br /><br />@Jeannie. That gives me some hope. It really does. I'm getting so jaded on these site. Match isn't one I've tried yet. I have a profile over there, but haven't forked over the money to subscribe yet. I'm having a hard time justifying spending the money when all I've had is bad experiences. I'm waiting for another deal and I'm going to give it a try. <br /><br />@angela Don't feel slighted. The guys who are saying this are truly nothing to write home about, lol. And I would LOVE to share the one I just got. Didn't delete the profile yet. But Blogger may ban me if I post it. I simply blocked him. There are some men who really are just pigs.Abby Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144975066187438009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064050909554330900.post-745439694443637042012-07-14T21:45:49.425-04:002012-07-14T21:45:49.425-04:00LOL.

No one ever said "Damn u r hot" to me though, so now I feel a lil slighted. ;-)Angela Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867561735139834900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064050909554330900.post-83987935106042694102012-07-14T18:26:23.126-04:002012-07-14T18:26:23.126-04:00I met my hubby through match.com, actually. So I ...I met my hubby through match.com, actually. So I can tell you for a fact it CAN and does work. :) <br /><br />For me, it was a matter of not thinking SO specifically that I whittled down the options. You'd be surprised - sometimes the perfect guy for you isn't one who would seem quite so perfect on paper. And yes, I went through a LOT of frogs...and a few pigs, too. Patience, a really, really, really good sense of humor and belief that there are really good guys on there can help you make it through. <br /><br />Don't let the pigs scare you off. The good ones are worth it. :)Jeannie Rueschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121805051292444835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064050909554330900.post-70973572301831372312012-07-14T14:19:09.493-04:002012-07-14T14:19:09.493-04:00My best friend is struggling with the same issue. ...My best friend is struggling with the same issue. I think looking in places where you'd have shared interests is key. I've encouraged my friend to join online groups for things other than dating. But yeah, the freaks are always going to be out there.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809497364875067330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064050909554330900.post-87996710863118034482012-07-14T12:42:16.952-04:002012-07-14T12:42:16.952-04:00Big hugs, Abby!!

Especially with guys who I thought might be a good guy, and actually went as far as to give my number to after talking for awhile. Yeah, that's when the true colors really start to show.

I'd like to met a diamond, doesn't even have to be MY diamond, lol, just someone to give me some freaking hope.

And this is a social chat room, not one for "hook ups"<br /><br />When they learn I'm married, I get responses such as "So?" and "You have any single friends?" Yeah, like I'd hook up a friend with someone who starts off a conversation with "a/s/l"<br /><br />Hang in there.
