Not that I'm going to jump straight back into the swing of things (he says after one day of being single), but has anyone had any experience of *ahem* 'casual relationships' to be euphemistic about it, through t'internet or elsewhere? Just curious.

bwah.
well. i was sort of having a fuckbuddy thing with a guy about 3 summers ago. altogether unsatisfactory. but that's partly cos i are teh ultimate girl, in terms of not being able to separate emotion from sex. *sigh* "Are you a princess?

i would agree. to have this work takes levels of maturity/emotional detachment rarely found in people. the chances of one party having the necessary qualities are slim and the chances of both parties having the necessary qualities are approaching zero |

yep, i'm kind of in that situation currently. it's fun at the moment but i'm pretty sure that after a time i'll want more than is on offer, and end up hurt.
i'm quite clearly not sensible enough to stop things tho. as i said, it's fun! ____________________________________________________ Did you know?

Well if you've got the foresight to know it's going to go awry, why not just stop?
I know I can detach emotionally quite well, and I'm fully aware of the risks and the downside, but I'd just like to know how you get round to getting one. I'm thinking Argos. ______________________________

okcupid.com. that seems to be fairly normal, judging by some of the emails i get.
or craigslist. i kept getting random msn's from people, last year, who'd seen my email address on craigslist, and thought i was a girl from canada called sarah (hmm...). turns out she had a misspelled version of my email address and had put it up there, and people were assuming the misspelling was a typo. but she was clearly after just the one thing, and lots of people were offering it to her.

it's funny, when I was younger, probably between 19 and 23, I thought that emotional detachment was a skill to be cultivated. Looking back though, I probably damaged myself by detaching myself. I now find it difficult to be close to people and it's definitely screwed me over these past few years.

oh yes, it would be quite wonderful if it was that easy. we get on really well. turns out we're also really quite compatible in bed. i think that maybe part of me thinks it could work out, although i know it won't. but that's largely due to the ridiculously mixed signals i'm getting from him. i also don't want a relationship with him. i'm quite happy for it just to be sex. but at the moment he keeps suggesting and/or agreeing to meet up outside of work up until the point where i actually try and suggest a time/place, and then he shies off. but then texts me all the time. i've really got no idea what's going on. ____________________________________________________ Did you know?

I'd call him on that, ask what he's doing. The quickest way to deal with someone being elusive is to force them to be direct.

It can definitely be frustrating. Good luck.
My dating life has been pretty dead of late. I'm not getting any replies from my e-mails lately and I'm not interested in anyone who has e-mailed me over the past couple weeks. Blah. ------ "Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge." ~Stephen Colbert |

my experience of dating websites is that they don't necessarily work well in of themselves, but they keep you sharp for when an opportunity arises, from the web or in the daily world.
For me i had quite a lot of dates, all of which were fun, none of which were disasters and some developed then I decided they weren't going to last. However, none were a waste. Keep at it, because in the end keeping on is how you find someone who matters. It's unpredictable and much about luck, but i think that keeping your head in the game plays a part in spotting that luck. **************** You are a Highwayman. You may not be the right sort of people, in fact, you're most certainly not the right sort of people, but you know them well and are generously committed to lightening their burdens, particularly when it comes to the burdens of their coin purses. |

That was 100% my experience too. I ended up meeting someone and starting something, not from the dating website at all, directly, but my attitude was definitely changed from it. It's a bit like training wheels for dating at times (I am so, so rubbish at hitting on people it's unreal). Plus, the other bonus of it for me was you inevitable start talking to folk about safe topics like books, music, films etc. and I got a ton of wonderful tips on good books, films and CDs from it  |
