I just have to say, that when I first joined this forum, I had certain specific ideals, opinions and inclinations with regard to dating certain kinds of people in specific types of situations.
Thanks to some of the posters here on CD, they have shown me - even though some of them were less than friendly with their advice lol - that there are so many variances, particulars and nuances to dating and relationship situations that need to be considered and thoroughly pondered before proceeding to the next step. Via PMs from certain members, they have taught me that some things are not what they seem, and alternatively, things that ARE what they seem may still have one or several layers to it.
I just wanted to create this thread to thank all of the CD posters who took time out of their busy day to advise me about what I'm currently going through as well as chiming in the other threads that I posted and giving me their feedback and opinions.
There are some really awesome seasoned and wise people on here that have offered me their sage advice, and to them, I want to say Thank You!
I also think that even when I get older and think that I'm experienced in relationships and dating, that I can still learn from reading some threads on here and constantly learn throughout my lifetime about these topics by reading about other members' experiences.
Have any of you learned more than what you already knew about dating and relationships by reading through other members' posts on CD? Or did/do you already know mostly what is discussed on here and you offer your sage advice to help others who are struggling to understand what they're going through?
Either way, I'm SO glad I found this site. It has helped me a lot and I'm sure it'll continue to help me in the future.
I started out extremely naive. I hadn't dated in decades. I just started OLD when I googled a question and it lead me here, a little over a year ago. As my dating and people experience expanded, so did my reception to other people's opinions and experiences. Nothing beats live experience, but when a poster whose opinions you respect tells you you're not crazy for thinking something, or they agree, it does help! Even if everyone here is actually using their internet privileges in minimum-security prison and coming up with pretend lives for themselves, it's better than asking your office co-workers personal questions!
