You Love Your Cat. A Lot: If it's absolutely critical that your lover love Chairman Meow as much as you do, then head to PURRsonals.com, "Where cat lovers meet and greet."
"The Fountainhead" Is Your Personal Bible: You believe that "reality exists as an objective absolute." You don't care about feelings so much, or at all. You're probably a lot of fun in a relationship. Ayn Rand devotees can meet and coldly profess the futility of emotion via The Atlasphere.

You Own a Horse Costume. And It Turns You On: We're not here to judge. If dressing up in a furry pig costume is your idea of a good time, head to Pounced to find a suitable -- and well-suited -- companion.

Yes, in fact, I did find love online. Kind of amazing, really, and something I never imagined happening to me. I joined a free dating site on a whim, mostly because I was bored, and went back to it from time to time to see what sort of people I could meet. Almost a year later, here I am, living with my wonderful boyfriend with plans to be married and a huge future before us. He's as much of a geek as I am.

Yes, I much-need a niche personals site - you see, I'm an agile, high-IQ, retired (age 83), 3 degrees, single, fit, caucasian man, tall, fine dancer, write/recite poetry and exhibit my sculpture all over Westchester County, seek a bright, danceable, outgoing woman within my area. But after 5 years of answering hundreds of personal ads with polite writing on paid and free venues, I'm no nearer a suitable partner...help!
I've found that certain venues are hopeless - such as Craig's List, e-Harmony and Match.com, as I'm not a game player and average 1 reply for 30 inquiries.

I have a girlfriend for past 25 years. We met when I answered an ad in PERSONALS in a newspaper called Village Voice. The ad was actually placed by her friend but the friend for some reason did not want to go on a first date, so she went. And now she is happily in my life for 25 yers. Accidental fate?

lauferein, NOT EVERYBODY wants to get married... I've been dating my guy for at least 12 years (I forget exactly for how long). EVERYBODY ELSE seems to want us to get married. My opinion? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We're happy as we are. We're in our 40s & don't want kids. Life is good!
Therefore, that guy who's been dating the same lady for 25 years is NOT a loser. They are doing what they wanna do.

the first dating site i ever used was gthicmatch.com. free but not a great layout. its were i met my first longterm relationship. we're on the outs bc of work+school etc,But i dont regret not meeting him
The biggest issue i have on dating sites is the guys that use them to cheat on their lovers, not try to bring in a thrid party either. :(

I met this guy at a Dark Lotus concert a few years ago. I never got his name or number. I really wanted to see him again so I started searching for him on a few Juggalo websites. MyJuggaloSpace.com and Juggalove.com. I did end up finding him but he only replied once. About a month later I met this Juggalo in Tempe, AZ, and searched his friends on Myspace.com and found the guy from the concert again. We started talking, finally met up, and started dating. Eventually he proposed. It was like a really crazy fairy tale. Then like 3 months later I found out that he was cheating on me like every night. It was the wierdeds 8 months of my life.

I found love online once. Ironically, I started a chat room called "lookin4mr_right" and intended to entertain myself by talking to the people who thought they could find love on line - since I didn't believe it was possible. Then this guy came into the room, and instead of asking the usual a/s/l, he asked me "Do you think you'll find him?" - little did I know, I was already talking to "him". He had come in to the room for the same purpose I did... because he didn't think it was possible either.
We spent 8 years together... and then he broke my heart into a million pieces when he left me for someone else. But it was true love while it lasted!
Now I'm again doing the online dating thing - on a free dating website - knowing that it is possible to find love online, but not really having much luck.

What is with society constantly associating the Gothic subculture with satanism? It is sincerely unsettling to constantly see the ignorance that is in existence within the majority of the population. Another prime example, any time a person is abducted, murdered, or has any kind of negative experience and is associated with the Gothic subculture to any degree, their experience is blamed on the Gothic subculture. My apologies for the rant, this subject aggravates me as does nearly every case of stereotyping.

I actually did find love online and it's the longest relationship I've ever been in. I had just broken up with my ex-boyfriend and moved back home. He had just broken up with his ex-girlfriend. One day I finally created a MySpace account and posted a personal ad looking for friends, explaining that I had just gotten out of a relationship. He sent me this e-mail that was just too funny. He kept trying to make sure I wouldn't think he was just some weirdo. We talked for about 2 months before meeting. In December we'll have been together 4 years. Hopefully, one day soon, we'll be able to afford a wedding!

I met my husband online (a free dating site), actually. My first thought upon seeing his photo was, "There's the man I'm going to marry..." I thought I was insane, but apparently love at first site works even when it's a picture of your intended! We will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary this weekend, and I couldn't be more in love!

Many of you mentioned a free dating site, but don't say what they are.
Could you tell me which ones?
Thanks

Waiting until you can afford a wedding.....????? If you love one another...you will get married, then save for a ceremony for one of your anniversaries...or better yet, use the money for your honeymoon.....whenever.. But if you have to wait for a wedding......it'll never happen. You're wasting your time..it's an excuse , to wait....it just means you aren't sure of your feelings.....if you need a Wedding....have a pizza party, beer, zinfidel for a wedding toast.....get a friend to volunteer for djaying...use you cd's//// The whole ceremony will feel more personal, and you'll be happier......or look for a tiny church somewhere....in Covington , ky theres one at The Garden Of Hope...overlooking cinti...it holds maybe 12-15 people....uses candlelight.....a friend got married there..that was over 25yrs ago..they're still together. You're not being cheap...you're being unique....why be like everyone else.......

You're an idiot. Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, not just Friday night with some pizza. You disgust me. And of course you're supposed to wait to get married, til you're out of school or have started your career path.

I totally agree with you. Weddingsnow days have gotten out of hand. It shouldn't be the amount of money spent on your day, but the thoughts and feelings for each other that is important. My son remarried this last year. They are a blended family and happy. The wedding was small, the music was neices singing, the food was barbque style served outside under a tent and the dance floor was wood sheets on the ground. The dance music was a friend DJ, pictures were taken by my grandson, and everyone int he wedding party bought whatever kind of dress they wanted, cheap or expensive as they choose, but all in the same color. The cake was baked by a friend, and the brides daughter's friends helped with the serving of the food, with the promise that they could bring their boyfriends to the dance. The wedding was wonderful, the "family" is happy and they didn't spend an arm and leg.
