Yahoo Answers wanted to put this in "Family & Relationships > Singles & Dating"

So how can you all be so foolish and ask all sorts of Dating questions.
I have the feeling that Yahoo should remove the "Singles and Dating" section.
How about you?

I have been seeing this guy since about January 1st.. we met on yahoo personals… anyways.. we have decided to date, " I didn’t know there was a difference between dating/seeing, apparently if you are seeing someone, they are able to see other people? idunno, what he said" We have agreed to stay excusive, which means no other partners.. I prefer that, and I have voiced my opinion about the issue.. Anyways.. I know that he has an ad on every personals site there is/some with his d**k picture, other pictures of himself.. all you have to do is type in the area he lives in, even without subscribing, and his name/pic pops up.. he said he did it to reach a larger group of people, because not everyone uses 1 site… I really wish he would delete every single one of them while we are dating, is this wrong of me? should I just trust what he is saying is true? I don’t want to make him mad, afterall I went to these sites (without subscribing) and looked up his name/area. thanks for any help!
I took my (1) ad off of yahoo right after we started seeing eachother.
I have so many questions… like about where the relationship is going, but don’t want to scare him away, we haven’t been together long, and it has been going great..
I’m in college, and he works from home/travels a bit for his job.. we see eachother on the weekends/during the week some…. I want to trust him so much, but dont want to end up with a broken heart, like what happened in a previous relationship… Thanks to everyone who gives advice!

Ive checked out a few dating sites but have not payed yet and want to chose the best site before making any real move. I am looking for the best date site that give out the most matches, according to number of matches, accuracy of chemistry of matches and the over all site, that is easily to navigate. I been to a few sites like yahoo personals, christian mingles and eharmony. I got to say I like all three sites the only thing is eharmony gives out few matches it seems like and you can only see the pics if you pay and the other sites are great but are they worth the money? I am 28/m and I am looking for site geared towards finding some one around my age. Any suggestions?

I am 34, divorced with a child. I got divorced due to domestic violence. I have been single ever since, and that was 10 years ago now (apart from 1 guy, more below). I just never found anyone who I liked enough to introduce to my son, and I would never have a sex-only thing with anyone. I’ve been busy with my son all these years but he is now a teenager. I’d dearly love to find someone but everyone in my circle, and who I meet, is taken already. Younger guys think I’m too old. Can’t win!

I did date one guy in 2008 but he turned out to be married and when I think about it, it still hurts. He used the fact I have a son and could not sleep overnights with him, to lead his double life.

Now, my cousin is my best friend. She’s 29 and single. She still lives at home and her dad pays for her car, her phone, her nights out, and her vacations. She dates a lot of guys, and has had fun with all of them.

However – now all her friends are getting married, she has become unbearable. She’s joined a bunch of "find a husband" websites, and literally bombards me with texts day and night about "who" she should date next, and "why" a certain guy hasn’t replied to her text straight away, etc.

I happily listen, even though I have enough issues of my own, but the extent to which she is now obsessed with finding a husband is ridiculous. If I tell her not to clog up my work email with all her messages, she’ll start clogging up my Yahoo and my phone. She talks day and night about whichever man she’s talking to online. I recently said "Hey, you know I still think about *name of married guy* sometimes and it hurts so much" and she replied "LOL! Get over it!"

She’s also starting to cut off members of our family who are getting married; she has another cousin who went straight from being a mistress to finding the guy of her dreams, and my cousin started screaming to me "where is her karma? Why doesn’t God punish her for being with a married guy knowingly? I’m boycotting her wedding".

I think she is probably depressed, but how do I handle all this when I am still devastated about what the guy I was seeing did to me? (turned out to be married) Believe me, I spend HOURS talking to and advising her, before anyone tells me I am selfish.

Another thing is she always tells new guys she meets that she "had a bad marriage" – she’s never even BEEN married! It’s something she invents to get sympathy. This is the kind of thing she pulls. I have every sympathy for her, even though she does not reciprocate, but I am losing patience.

…Yahoo! wanted to post this in "Singles & Dating" !!

I met a guy online about a year ago… random meeting in a yahoo chat room. I live in the midwest and he lives in the south. Since the time we met we have become good friends and we have great chemistry. We’ve seen each other on pictures and web cam but we want to meet in person. I plan to meet in a mutual area with one of my friends with me. Has anyone ever done this before?
We are both adults in our 20s

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

I’m a 32-year-old, heterosexual male who is single:

I constantly experience that peer-aged woman; regardless of race/ethnicity, regardless of photo or lack of a photo; on the following Internet ‘dating’ sites(Yahoo.com, Match.com, True.com, EHarmony, Chemistry.com, and Passion.com) that peer-aged Women do selectively eliminate me as potentially being her either platonic friend or amorous/romantic partner based upon h e r selection preference of "Her Ideal Person’s" traits, such as:
1) Height,
2) Race/ethnicity
3) ‘Body type’, and
4) Income/Occupation.

What is going on with the Online Internet ‘Dating’/"Personal Ad" craze or thing– "Woman seeks Man"/"Man seeks Woman"? ? ?

Where are the real Woman; n o t the Woman who are fake/’flakes’ or n o t those that are " teasers of written/worded Personal Ads/Profiles, photos, and such)’ ? ? ?

say that when someone is murdered…? I always thought that when it’s your time, then it’s your time regardless of how you go. Any thoughts on this…?

And why did the idiots at Yahoo put this in " Singles & Dating ", for cryin’ out loud…?!!!
" delyghtful " : I listed it twice. I deleted the first one within moments after clicking " submit " then relisted it after replacing the words, " in an accident " with the word, " naturally ". That’s when Yahoo switched it from " Psychology " to " Singles & Dating "…

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

Okay, I have been with Yahoo! Answers for a little over a week and I’m noticing a very linear trend when it comes to the questions that get asked. So, my question is: "Do You get Tired of the Same questions, over and over again?"

Well, here’s a list of my most common answers:

"Does he/she like me?" and/or "How do I know he/she likes me?"

If he/she goes out of her way for you, yes. This includes constant eye contact, flirting and/or 45+ hours of talking. If he/she doesn’t like you, people tend to be obvious – get a clue.

"Guys do you like [you description here] kind of girls?" or "Girls, what do you think of [your description here] type of guy?"

Guys like girls and girls like guys. There is literally as many tastes as there are people. There’s no standard for how a girl or girl should be – there’s someone out there looking for the qualities that make you YOU! Fat, skinny, nerd, popular – you name it, there’s someone. Be patient, they will come.
"I’m [ages 14 - 19] and I still don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Help me!"

Hold your horses, kiddo. You’re still young. These things come with time, so don’t worry. Worry about a secure career and set some goals. Don’t let this "no-partner" gig make you lose focus on the rest of your life.
"He’s/She’s cheating – what do I do?"

Leave. He/she is not worth your time.

"Is this love?"

Love is wanting to see the other person happy more that you’d want that happiness for yourself. If he/she is willing to sacrifice part of who she/he is, then: Yes. It’s love.

No, it’s not wanting to bed him/her – that’s lust. No, it’s not a "funny feeling" when he/she walks by – that’s a crush. Usually, you love someone AFTER you’ve gotten to know them. Love at first sight? Made up by the same people that brought you Valentine’s Day.
So, if there’s any other answers you feel you’ve given too much of, feel free to post!
Got a few more:

"How do I ask her out?" OR "How can I tell him/her I like him/her?"

Nike said it best: JUST DO IT.

"Girls, tell me what you think [your photo link here]"

I think you need to stop trying to assert your self-esteem and get a girl.

"Girls, call me!"

Um, no.
"How do I make him like me?" OR "How do I turn him on?"

You’re a girl. Use those girly qualities!

when i access my yahoo mail i get huge block of "singles in Salem". I want this to stop, please.

From your answers and questions on Yahoo. It’s here for all time. Correct?
