do you believe that the idea of a predestined "soul mate" exists? why or why not?
Ashera: i see what you mean, but that’s why i said they "eventually MEET," not stay with. it could just be someone you were in a class with, or a co-worker, someone you should have gotten to know but didn’t. you just passed them by because you didn’t know they were your soul mate.

Some ppl say love is blind and that is so true.Sometimes I see some of the
pretiest girls ever dating a man of a another race.Not to sound prejeduice
but I get jealous of that.Sometimes I wonder a preppy girl would date a
hip-hop lover but not a metal head like me.

I demand a "Singles & Dating" filter from yahoo answers. lol What are your thoughts.

I met my guy online. On our second date, he claimed to be married to an immigrant. He said he felt pressured by his family to do this. His "wife" has never lived with him, but he bought a house to "prove" to the court it was not an illegal marriage. She actually lives with her russian bf and recently gave birth to a baby – which is not my boyfriend’s. However, he had to get his name removed from the birth certificate. He believes if he is caught he will go to a federal "resort" prison. What I care about most is that he lied to me. He calls this his "dark secret," but to me it’s more. He thinks this lie was not directed at me, and he wants me to "help" him understand why I’m mad – I think he should already know. On the site I met him, he listed himself as "single."
Also, his stepdad who supposedly "pressured" him, didn’t know these immigrants for very long. I don’t feel it was my bf’s responsibility to take care of her citizenship. Also, why couldn’t he say no? He seems like a pushover.
He’s, my bf, is the US citizen – His "wife" is a russian immigrant.

Did you know that 60% of people have used one?

And yet, almost everybody denies it, or they say things like "I knew someone that used one, but she didn’t like it", or "back when I used to use online dating sites". I once dated a girl I met online, and she told me she hadn’t told anyone about me because she didn’t know what to tell them.

I mean, really, what’s the big deal?

I mean do these "dating" sites (match.com, yahoo!personals, etc) work? Have you had any experiences to share?

I read an article lately that stated that couples who date that are on the same "level" of attractiveness have a higher chance of success. What do you all think of that statement? Is it true — or not true? If you’re a hot girl dating a not-so-hot guy, will it most likely fail — and vice versa?

I belong to an online dating service for singles. How can I run background checks, especially for current marital status? A few years ago I read an article which revealed over 30% of "singles" on dating services are actually married. Where do I go to find this information since these people are not likely to be disclosing this kind of information.

I’m a 24 yr old girl, dating this guy 4 over a yr now. We have awesome chemistry,lotsa fun 2gether and a strong friendship 2.
He used 2 B a bit of a commitmentphobe. His last serious relationship was at 18 (lasted abt 1.5 yrs) Since then he’d been with a lotta ppl (usually older women), but never 4 longer than a couple of months.
Took me a while in the relationship 2 meet his friends and fam, and took him a while 2 show me emotions weaknesses insecurities. I can see he has trouble expressing feelings in words, but he shows it thru actions, puts effort in2 being w/ me and is a total pleaser.
6 months ago we had our 1st "fight", which was really me saying "Is this going somewhere" and him saying "i have trouble opening up". We got past that. Since then he’s opened up A LOT.
Lately he’s been taking me along with his fam + friends lots, says he’s happy. Things R great, xcept I found out thru a friend that he keeps (+ sometimes accesses) an online dating profile. Why? Shuld I worry?
hahah… I didn’t realize you could add details.. i kept trying to make sure all my words would fit in that one box… oh well… it’s pretty hilarious how i managed to spell everything.

I’m just curious to know for some of you that come to this section frequently to ‘help’ others because i (at least i think) think that’s why I’m here.

Question:
Do you think your attached to viewing, answering, asking on answers.yahoo "Singles & Dating" because your frustrated that you can’t be with or are not with someone that has the same maturity and understanding of what -you believe- makes a healthy relationship?

Being honest with myself, i think i can agree to that statement but i’m just curious to know if there are any others out there that feel that way.

Hi, My g/f "ren" and I have been dating for 3 month and it’s a very serious relationship. I’m 22, she is 17, age is not a problem except for the fact I think she is umm.. "immature to dating" or can’t grasp it fully. We met and fell in love instantly, fairy tale kinda stuff. I try and be the nicest guy possible and treat her like the way a girl should be treated, give her everything she could ever want and meet all her wishes and more. I love her more then anything or anyone before. I’m 1005 loyal and expect the same and don’t tolerate cheating one bit.

she is anorexic, anxiety problems, depression, she cuts, inflicts pain upon her self to punsh herself, try commiting suicide few times before and is a very emotional and sometimes unbalanced person and feelings flip fastfrom happy to sad or angry.(i censor myself a lot and be careful of what i say). she is also bi and idc about it. (btw she does get help for her problems)

Problem:
3 weeks ago, she met new girl at school, and was like i think i have feelings for her more then just a friend. We have lot of problems in common and she can relate to me(ren). they hung out and she stole stuff for ren as gifts but nothing bad happened. ren explained all these feelings to me as soon as possible and felt really bad about it and she needed to think about it. she later said sorry and that she loves me more then anything and couldn’t live without me. i accept apology and move on. i knew she wouldn’t leave me. im fine we move on

2 days ago, (she put herself into psychiatric hospital) at the hospital, she said she met a new girl named maggie there and they have lot of problems in common and actually live really close to each other. maggie has a girlfriend. ren trys to talk to maggie about her feelings, and maggie ignores her. ren then calls me later that day and was like i met this girl here named maggie and i have feelings for her or i think i do. she was like i really want to try and see if it would work with her but i don’t want to lose you, i love you a lot and couldn’t live without you. and she was like you hate me, and i was like no, do what you want, you know my rules on cheating, if you’ll be happy with her, then be with her. (i love ren and want her to be happy however she gets it, but i wont be there if she cheats on me) she was like im soo confused.

she then calls me later and was crying and said she talked to counselor and realized that she loves me and can’t live with out me, and sorry that she put me through that. and she wasn’t even sure if it was feelings or jsut the medications they were using on her. she said she is horrible g/f and i opposed her and said otherwise. she says im the only one for her and will always be.

i don’t know what to do. i wasn’t hurt first time, but now im crushed and not sure what to think. idk if she really is my soul mate, doubt keeps filling me and it hurts a lot. i plan to talk to her more when she comes back in 3 days. what do i do? what does she feel? from your perspective. i need an outside view, normally im very good at giving advice but i need an outside view without my view corrupting it. can i trust her? is she my soul mate? am i what she wants? (i know these are quetions i should be asking her….)

plz no ass hole responses

Ok, I like my best friend a lot ( a girl ) and we occasionally talk on the phone and see eachother at school everyday basically and next week it’ll be the first "friend-date" we will have. Well before I go on this date I would like to say some really sweet things to her so maybe I can win her while we’re at the movies so…

Need some good sweet things to say! Ty :]

You know, online dating is a waste of time if you date keep fixated on just "one person a time". Some take way too long to have a first meet, only to find out there’s no chemistry. Some never intend to meet, just fishing for compliments. And some are just plain players or cheaters.

But if you talk to/date multiple people: how not to appear like a player yourself? I mean I’m a sincere guy and I don’t want to play with others’ feelings or waste their time either. How should I do it?

I put this in LGBT because I’m a gay guy (in a small town) so I hope you can understand the situation more. Thanks!

obviously the status "Singles" and "Dating" are two COMPLETELY OPPOSITE WORLDS…..so why is it that yahoo thinks we share the same fate when obviously i’m crying alone…. :’(

I have heard that some singles find it easier to meet people on social networking sites because there is less attention to the "dating" focus than the free online dating sites.

Wondering if you’ve had the same experiences or have an opinion about this topic.
