Its not always guys that dont want a serious relationship..

SOmetimes I find women dont, I mean they may say they do, but when it comes right down to it, they really dont..

I guess there are all types, for both sexes..

Its a process we all go through at some point,
Hey not all guys are the same though, you just have to be strong and hold out for what you want, even if it means being a nun for a while!

Apart from the odd nymph/playboy (a small minority), I would say most people m/f want a serious relationship. But wanting one in theory and commiting to one in practice aren't always going to coincide as it's not that often that you meet someone and think, 'hey, I want to spend the rest of my life with this person!'
Even if you do find that thought, it isn't always reciprocated.
You're only going to get that solid relationship if it is two-way traffic!
Having the attitude of expecting a serious relationship to come out of any hook-up is making too many assumptions and being too idealistic. Meeting that person who does reciprocate the need for a serious relationship is not a choice either of you will make, it will either happen or it won't. So in the meantime, just approach dating as a fun way to meet people!

Why is everyone so damned scared of opening up straight away!?!?! Call me old fashioned but I LOVE the idea of a long term relationship!! I have just asked her to contact me to go on a date.... Wish me luck guys!!!!

a free website is bound to attract some window shoppers

Personally, I've found in the main that the only guys so far who are 'looking for a serious relationship' are the ones who glanced at my profile, decided "you'll do" and their opening pm is summat along the lines of "you're my soul mate, will you marry me" etc. which scares the hell out of me.
It would be nice to find a balance in what chikhai, samenoname and scottie say, start out with an open mind (I was going to say 'casual' but thats not what I really meant) and see how it progresses.
Too eager can come across as somewhat desperate, in my book.
If you are looking on here for that Forever Someone you got a long hard search I think....just because most people I would imagine are intending to choose rather carefully about who they want to spend eternity with.

ive just come out of a relatioship of 5 monhs thought it was serious , thought things were pretty much ok until last week...

hes now decided that i live too far away the distance is sunderland - wallsend ( really miles apart)

but the fact ive bought him loads of stuff ranging from aftershave ..earrings and clothes just maks me think that his sole intention was to get as much as he could then move on, i pity the next person he neets as likely she will fall for it hook line and sinker too


im not saying ll guys are like this but the the last 2 ive been out with have been a waste of my time

the day i meet someone special i will probably run a mile

Don't worry we are not all like that. Well know I am not anyway! Guess the older you get and are on your own the harder the task seems to meet someone new and nice. Guess we all just need to actually enjoy the challenge ahead.
