Indeed! We attract what we wish for that's why it's important to guard our thoughts. I believe in the saying, "Be careful what you wish for..."

It's good to have someone to relate to but sad that it happened that way. I've deleted my account at the dating site now for several days and I feel an actual relief from that. Not knowing what to expect next on those sites is nerve wrecking at times. I'll stay happy with the pet family and my friends here at the apt. place. Best wishes to you!

I understand the sense of relief that comes with not being on dating sites. I was on one or two for a while but I never really enjoyed it. I love my life as it is. Best wishes to you, too.

i think you are missing out on alot

Yeah...she's probably missing out on a lot of BS. I agree with what @Geezerette, @JaniceM and @Em in Ohio have pointed out. I'm not saying all men however, just what seems to be too many of them.

I had a tendency to be a compliant person in order to keep the peace or to maintain the status quo. Because of that, I think, I attracted men who wanted someone to manipulate and control, to dominate. I've changed. I'm happier than I have ever been. There are good men. I just wasn't fortunate enough to be found by them. The idea of looking now has no appeal. I've found myself and am content.

I have come to realize, sadly, that dating sites are not the best idea for me. There are a lot of fake profiles and phony people on some of those sites. Also romance scams happen too. You are really lucky no one has tried to romance scam you. Two men tried it on me. Now I know what to look for to avoid them. It's hard though.

I think it's a better idea to go to social events like dances--I think that's a better way. I used to go to them years ago and met a few nice guys. Nothing came of it, though.

Better yet, I think I'd just rather be alone and not trying to find someone. It's a real PITA! I am really happy being alone with my pet family and knowing some kind neighbors I have. We have some social events here and chat at times. For right now, I think that's good enough for me. I'm getting too old and too tired to try these dating sites anymore. I seem to attract the wrong types. I have made a friend though, so that's good!

What's so shocking @Autumn72 ?
