peachie Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I have been to the dating sites, trust me they are SCARY!! I have been to young adult wards, they are as well not so well for me. I am now back at my home ward and there is no one may age that is not married or young. 18 and down. I would like to know where to go to meet some single guys. I would not mind if they where Tongan or Samoan men. Any ideas?? Quote

pam Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Have I angered you? No I was trying to give you the hint to start singing "If you chance to meet a frown." Quote
Anddenex Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I am surprised no one has mentioned this, LDS.NET seems to have a number of single men who comment on this forum. Pam...maybe add a new tab labeled "Single"??? Quote

Martain Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 considers the consequences of Pam doing such and forsees lds.net then becoming a dating website/classified site... and agrees that it doesn't sound wise =). Quote

BrendaM Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I can feel for your dilemma. I am not a "young" single adult, but a single adult none the less. I too would like to know how to meet a worthy priesthood holder. I have tried several of the LDS singles sites and you would not believe the stuff that is said and implied. Definitely not for me! I do attend single adult activities here at my home ward; and when I travel. Whew, what can I say about those.... My patriarchal blessing tells me I will have all the blessings that the Temple offers, but it doesn't say when:rolleyes:....and so here I am. Quote
Martain Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Peachie, as someone who has tried various dating websites and come away frustrated, I'm curious to hear what was it about such websites that you found so scary? As for me, after reading x number of profiles where the message was "if you're interested send me an actual response rather than hitting a flirt button", and then writing a real response to one individual and then to another etc... I wondered what was up. Is what you write on your profile completely meaningless unless a gal thinks you're attractive/cute? So rather than continually invest time in individuals who had no interest in me, I wrote in my profile that if they were interested in hearing from me or in having me write them a response, to please at least hit the flirt button to clue me in =P. After multiple views over a few months but not a single expression of interest... I discontinued my subscription. What do you mean about "stuff that is said and implied" BrendaM?

Brenda according to your profile, you and I are the same age. I'm in the same situation as you. Of course i don't go to bars, I don't like the singles websites and I've been to some of the singles activities. Ugh. What's a girl to do? Quote

Of course i don't go to bars, I don't like the singles websites and I've been to some of the singles activities. Ugh. What's a girl to do?I hear ya Pam, especially when the single adult men still think they are 30 and can attract a 20something female. Kills me everytime! I'm wondering about those single cruises & trips through the various LDS-geared sites....anyone ever tried those? Quote
pam Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I've been divorced for 13 years. I've had no desire whatsoever to be in the dating scene, relationship or anything of the sort. Rather I've been very anti relationship. Now that my house is emptying out...I'm having some second thoughts. Quote

After multiple views over a few months but not a single expression of interest... I discontinued my subscription.What do you mean about "stuff that is said and implied" BrendaM?Like you, I tried a couple of the sites. I guess I thought because it said LDS, there would have been a certain standard adhered to. Not so...I found the IM communication very immature and, what's the word I want to use here, very loose I will say. People implied they were Temple recommend holders, but by their conversations, didn't seem that way to me. I'm sure there have been some success stories, but after 8 months, I too discontinued my subscription. Quote

Now that my house is emptying out...I'm having some second thoughts.I raised my daughter as a single mom...tough but thankfully I had (and still have) the Gospel in my life. She's grown now and as you say...it kind of sucks being alone all the time. I enjoy my own company and do lots on my own, but still...I never was anti-relationship, but understand how you feel. Quote
Martain Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I sometimes wonder about the ethical and practicality of having an LDS dating website adopt a system where you have to send in a copy of your ID (to prove age/image) as well as a copy of a temple recommend (perhaps with some information on the copy markered out). Thoughts? Quote

Now that my house is emptying out...I'm having some second thoughts.One of the attorneys I work with told me that he'd read an article about the singles scene in Japan. Apparently, local matchmakers would set up shop in the Ikea cafeteria (hey..no overhead costs!) and ply their trade. Are there Ikeas in Utah? If so, when I come to Utah, you and I can put on a little lipstick and hit the local Ikea! Quote

We already have a serial poster(s) who profess to be "looking for love" via PMs. To then have to begin to differentiate these would be... confusing.I've heard good things about www . ldslinkup . com.
