Well, and as Cupcake mentioned in a comment - I'm invisible to many of you most likely; I don't show up in searches because I am "Straight".

Dammit.

I have to say I am surprised at the lack of replies given the amount of singletons there seem to be on here.....and they can`t all be shy !

I'm certainly no shrinking violet. I just don't happen to be on any dating sites.

If you are shy, wouldn't this kinda be ideal? You are putting down a name to a dating profile for someone to look at, rather than contacting someone for a date?

Hmn. Guess dating sites aren't used much on BFP. Hey ho

I'm single, but don't do LDR's and don't date online. I am not listed on any singles sites either. I live so rural that the only gay person here in my town is ME. I live on a limited income so going out of town to meet someone to date like in Dallas, kinda don't work for me.

I think I need to move, but I can't because of my mom being here needing me.
SOOOO that tosses me out of the dating pool I guess....for long while.

I think online is a great way to get to know someone but as for looking for partner material it leaves very much to be desired I dare say!

I am feveralways on Plenty of Fish. I tried OKCupid, but all I ever met were femmes.lol I stay on POF to meet people who live in the same area and might want to do activities. I am not in the market for romance at this time.

True. That's why I meet people within 2/3 weeks of talking to them. I usually exchange a few messages, a couple emails, a couple of phone chats and then I meet for a coffee, not a date. After a few coffee/beer meets if I enjoy them and I think it has potential, then a date.

The partner prospect doesn't happen until I've hung out with them *non dating* at *least* a few times.

But, that's me.

Fever: POF has more butches yes. But I find the rare person I do meet on OKC I click with much better. I am very patient and I'm not in a rush to date anyone. My profile is just there, like leaving a door ajar. That's about the extent of it.
School takes up too much of my time to date. I have one evening a week to give someone and I can't talk every day and most lesbians find that annoying.

So... It's just there. It can't hurt.
