Do you believe one can find a genuine, true, authentic, forever soulmate, on online social, dating sites?

@WildernessWriterExplorer Agreed...and with a possible ratio of what? 50/50%...or tilts mostly towards what %?

@Teddybear definitely not 50/50. More like 90/10 for failure to achieving a happy relationship.

@WildernessWriterExplorer you're young.

@Splendida yes I am?

@WildernessWriterExplorer awwwh...yess... it's why I'm curious as to what many would opine😶

@WildernessWriterExplorerNo offense intended.

I meant maybe not enough time to have tried stuff that hurts you so badly, you learn to avoid it at all cost.

@Splendida do explain what you mean a little better?

@WildernessWriterExplorer I generally think believing Anything is Possible is the theory for people who haven't had time to try everything yet. The world is a wonderful place, but some things don't work.

How's that

@Splendida that was transparent to me...no worried...😇

@Teddybear 😌

@Splendida oh I wholeheartedly disagree. Now I’m talking about things in the realm of reality not jumping to the moon. So to say a person couldn’t find someone online is a little ridiculous. As well, the people who believe that some things can’t be accomplished are usually scared and lazy. This is what holds them back.

@Splendida very philosophical indeed👍! I like that! Also, remember, with always keeping and open mind and sticking to being non-judgemental, always 👍!

It's how we learn best 👌!

@WildernessWriterExplorer ....and part of growing, maturing, learning in every possible way that we can possibly learn. Like through "trial and error". Risking, exposing OURSELVES for disillusionment, and/or, eternal, forever and ever happiness, if we hit the jackpot! Otherwise, how would have Thomas Edison would have come up with the light bulb, right?😁😶🤔

@WildernessWriterExplorer online is a perfectly legitimate place to meet someone. If you choose to keep it online that's an online thing. If you take it out in the real world, it's a real thing.

It's slightly ignorant to assume I am lazy or repressed. Perhaps I have learned from my previous mistakes and choose not to make them again.

@Splendida Actually miss it’s not ignorant at all. It’s actually quite the opposite as it was an informed statement. You didn’t learn from them you created a fear around them because you got hurt. Your fear of what could happen makes you think it isn’t possible. By giving into this fear you also make yourself lazy. So you stay in your comfort zone. This is also why you believe somethings don’t work. You tried got a negative reaction and immediately believe it didn’t work because you tried once or twice and now have a negative outlook on it and believe no matter the variables the outcome will always be the same.

@WildernessWriterExplorer Repeating ones mistakes is the definition of insanity. I would suggest you ask around, but I'll bet you're more of a Google person.

In any event I like to make fresh, new mistakes.

There is nothing wrong or invalid about an online relationship. Nothing wrong with wanting a relationship in the 3-dimensional world either.

I just think we should call things what they are. It's pretty key both people know why they are there. I agree that for 2 clear-headed people who believe the same thing,, anything is possible.

You're the one posing judgements about what works for other people. Are you afraid of reality?😏

@Splendida Actually miss the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. But dating isn’t the same thing as the person changes so the variable changes. So this would not make it the same thing. You should probably know the actual meaning and fully understand how it applies before you make a snide remark. You could have learned this from google. But instead you tried to take a term you don’t fully understand and mold it to fit your argument.

Actually at no point did I pose what works for other people. I posed judgement on the fact that you were “so hurt you avoid it at all costs” which sounds a lot like fear. Your fear is also what causes you to suffer from anxiety and anxiety can to depression.

@WildernessWriterExplorer you're a little bit too crunchy and defensive to see my point. If you need to be right, and think you know what's best for all, we can't help you here. But I do wish you the best of luck and hope you find what you're searching for.

@Splendida I fully understand miss. You enjoy your day.
