Which places would you suggest I learn to find how online dating can be used to find real love and not only sexual encounters?

Hello ladies,

If you were reading online personals and the man’s personal ad included "I am very ticklish!", would that be a plus, a minus or a meaningless remark to you?

I am sixteen years old and a senior in high school. I do all of my school online, so I don’t socialize too much outside of the theater I participate in. Recently, a guy asked me to be his date to his sister’s wedding. He’s also sixteen, a junior, and is in the same theater program. My parents have met him and like him well enough, (he came over to my house with some friends, and I’ve also been to a few outings where he was present) but don’t want me to go because they don’t want me to date. The exact word they used was maybe. It sounded to me as a ‘probably not’, though.

I feel as though it’s impossible. My family are ultra-strict traditional Catholics that don’t think I should date until I am ready to get married (I.E. out of college). They told me to ask our priest whether I can go or not, but I’m pretty sure he will say no —he’s incredibly strict (as in dresses or skirts have to hang below the knees, no dating is allowed at all, no being alone with a guy ever, no sleeveless tops, no ANYTHING. lol). The only way he might say yes is if I made it sound like this guy is only a friend and I know his sister. Which the guy is a friend (and nothing else — as of now i haven’t gone behind my parent’s backs at all) and I have met his sister (once… lol).

Also, my mom doesn’t trust me so she will probably make sure I asked the priest by asking him the same question from /her/ point of view. And she will say that we like each other as more than friends and that I was the only person he invited and that I don’t really know his sister. >_<

My mom knows that we like each other and that we’ve told each other we like each other. She also has told me that if she let’s me go to the wedding I have to make it clear that I am not in any way interested in a "relationship" or "dating".

I’ll never have a prom (the online school thing does kind of suck) and I feel like this is my only way to have a slightly normal experience in high school for once. Plus I obviously really like him… =)

What should I do?

If I were to express my opinions, I would be grounded for life and never get to do theater again. lol. Geeze, it’s a christian wedding, not a underground rave party or something. The hard part is my mom — she pretty much controls my family. My dad is christian (non-practicing Mormon) and my mom is the Catholic. My dad has no opinions whatsoever with our upbringing and leaves it to mom. I’ve tried to tell him this but he doesn’t listen. =/
I already told her about it and she said maybe… but she was the one that brought everything up about it being a "date." She seems to believe that just because a boy asked me to go, no matter what the event actually is, that it’s a date. AND SHE’S SOOOO STUBBORN!!

and you had already fallen in love with him. but you didn’t know he was married until you had already been dating and fallen in love.
i guess i should have mentioned this is not me.

Im 20, Im trying to find a job, Im starting college in september. Maybe ill meet people there but for now, Im lonely as my best friend moved to another country, I only have 3 other friends but they barely talk to me. You know on the movie "I Love You Man" he used friendfinder.com, its like a dating site only it is to make friends not lovers. I am fully against online dating, thats not where I will meet my soul mate, so why do I approve of online finding friends? Am I really that desperate? Is this a good way to meet real true friends? Is it easy? Tips? Will people think Im a total loner for doing this?

I had the "top contributor for Singles & Dating" on the bottom of my avatar for the past 4 months or so and now it’s gone. What happen to it? Did somebody report me as a bad answerer or something because it’s not true. I miss it, LOL…

Did this happen to any of you?

i need suggestions on how to nicely say i’m unable to relocate at present time in a personals ad but am willing to accept a woman whos willing to relocate to be with me. i’m a 41 year old divorced man whos been out of the dating scene for a while now. etiquette has totally changed now. can anyone please give me a little help please ?

I’ve met this AMAZING person online. He is everything i look for in a guy, everything. He is so nice and genuine and we..connect. We are opposite but still the same, you know, we have chemistry. But the only problem is he lives in another state. Do you think i should go for it online? Do long distance relationships actually work? Do you think they are worth it? I just don’t wanna make a huge mistake and get hurt…

Most of the questions are so idiotic and stupid that it makes me want to puke. Maybe Yahoo can just make this a seperate site by itself, so all the teeny boppers can have their fun, and we don’t have to get sick to the stomach reading those dumb questions.

Ok I am Male 35. Does anyone with anxiety disorder find it hard to tell others that they have anxiety disorder when they are dating or talking with a love interest?? I mean I put on my online yahoo personals they I have Anxiety and i feel like I have lepracy or some infectious disease from the responces i have been getting.

This is serious. Don’t make fun of me/say rude things.
I am NOT joking,

We have had this teacher for a few years now.
Male, in their 20′s.
I am a girl (so are my friends that I will be talking about)
Anyways.
About a year ago it all started to go ..wrong.
The first year was ‘fine’.
We dont do work with him, we goof around most of the time and take it ‘easy’. Watch movies, listen to music, take notes etc.

But last year, he touched my friend’s breast. We were still down and he knelt down very close to her and his arm/wrist whatever rubbed her there. We are pretty sure he didnt do it by accident because there were other times we would do similar stuff.

He flirts with the girls. (But we try to ignore him)
Me&a friend caught him staring at another girl’s butt (she is our age)
& he also says/does immature, stupid things.
(ex: brings up sex related stuff, not detailed though, gets off topic, talks about ‘relationships’ etc. this isnt all the time, occasionally)

No body knows he does this except me & a few girls in my class.
We havent told anyone but my mother and other parents know that we dont learn anything & havent for almsot 3 years.

Anyways…
Me & a friend decided to make a fake facebook and add him. See what he has on there (I know it may sound immature/idiodic etc but we had to!)

He had stuff posted (pics) of really gross things!
Not of nude ppl but signs and stuff about sex!
Like pics of google of very immature things.
(I wont get into it)

He also had an application on there where it said "Mathew is now using a free online dating service and sexy meeting singles!"

Dont you think this is weird.?
I might sound like a dork but Im not kidding.

PS: He also flirts with other students sometimes and teachers.
mr. mort – nope sorry

My friend is considering joining an online dating site, RSVP. What tips do you recommend for anyone searching an online profile, how to tell a phony from a legit. What things give it a way.

Tips appreciated.

not e-harmony.com none in my area checked it out already, match.com not sure, they want the $ in one lump sum ify on that for the 6 months thingy, I already have a big bill lol, i tried yahoo personals e-mailed like over 30, 1 responded, just chat buddies nothing more, and americansingles.com already subscribed thats a no and cancelled 3 days later not good trust me! don’t do it, it had users in my area but i did not realize the last login in dates the users had, people don’t log in enough there, any suggestions? still thinking of match.com but maybe you know something better?

I met a great guy online. We talk on the phone for hours and hours on end and our dates are magical. We both feel the chemistry that has existed over the past few weeks and have similar ideas of how a relationship should be. The problem is that in spite of our chemistry, I have noticed that he still logs into his online dating account almost every day. I found this out when I went online to deactivate mine. Since we are linked online, I can see his log in activity, and he still appears to be going online, presumably to view other profiles and meet other people.

Should I mention to him that this makes me uncomfortable? How would you handle this if your person of interest showed mutual feelings to your face but still dawdled around in the background. I should mention that neither of us has verbally stated that we are going to be exclusive, but the relationship seems to be headed that way. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that he still seems to be looking. I’m confused.

a business portal or business search engine of my own from my own house if its possible for me to start any of them from my own house. please help me with good answers, please help me to achieve this, thank you all.
