My name is carol. I am single and looking for a relationship with someone who is loving and funny. Someone who is handsome and has a good sense of humor. It would be nice if I could meet someone that is around my age, visually impaired or blind.I would prefer someone that does not smoke or drink and is not always thinking of having sex. I like going out and having a good time and doing fun things. Also I would like to meet someone that would be senitive to my disabilities and is from the United States.

Not asking a bit much are you? I'm gunna say that inless you are vary lucky you arnt going to find a man who meets all your requierments. In my appinion if he loves and respects you, if he drinks and smokes sometimes shouldn't be considderd.

ok, don't turn this board into a bashfest. I don't know why I'm wasting the time to ask. It's the zone, it's bound to happen.

Um first limiting your search to visually impared people is offly stupid, considering that isn't what most of the world is. Second looking ofr love on the zone is like looking for a husband in a maximum security prison. Third get out into the world and when you least expect it you'll find Mr. Right, or get hit by a car, probably a 50 50 chance.

I should have known that the responses to happy's post would be kind of mean. I was right. Why do you people always have to be mean to other people?
Some of you need to grow up.

If ppl would stop believing that the zone is a dating service and thinking they are going to find "love" via cyberspace then there would be no need to be mean. The fact that ppl seem so insecure with themselves to believe that the only "love" they will have or can maintain will be through the internet is rather ridiculous and shows the lack of confidence and self esteem one has in themselves, which is why they are made an easy target. And if you already know that you're going to be ridiculed then why even bother posting that you're available and looking.....now that's something to think about not y ppl are mean to others, but y ppl continue posting knowing the type of response they'll get....

If this is true, than there is no need for the Singles Spit Swap board, is there?

Typical Jared...
As for eccentric bruin's post, it's interesting to me that you spelled out everything except for "people"... Just an interesting observation: nothing less, nothing more.
As I have no further wisdom or non-wisdom to add to this topic, thus ends this post.

As I have said countless times to those seeking perfection there is no such thing.

Happy,

I suggest you go out and meet people, join a group nearby who are involved with things you are passionate about or an online community involved with it.

Here's wishing you luck in your search.

Cheers Jess.

i certainly agree that the best way to find love is not to go out looking for it. the most important thing in life is to believe in yourself. this is something i discovered in the last few months. i split up with my last boyfriend just over a year ago and i feel great! i'm not looking for love right now, i just want to keep travelling the world, get my degree and i have many other ambitions. if i find someone tomorrow, that's great, but if i don't, even better! just believe in yourself! the other issue here is that as somebody else said, do not limit yourself to just having a relationship with visually impaired people as there are many nice sighted people out there and you might really be losing out!

I would not totally write off the idea of a relationship that starts on-line if you can deal with that sort of thing and if you both understand that you will arrange to meet in person one day. I met my fiancee on an e-mail list and we started out being friends and after lots of e-mails and phone conversations it became a romantic relationship and I went up to visit her right after Christmas. Understand that we both were single and looking but we thought we'd just be friends at first but would be dating other people. But after a few months of e-mails nad phone calls we realized we wer starting to grow closer and we officially became a couple when we met for the first time. It's been six years now and I moved in with her a couple years ago and we're now engaged. So all y'all devotees of the normal can scoff if ou like, but it can happen at least starting on-line.
However, let me add a few more things. First, stop believing in perfection. No, do not settle for abusers or jerks either because ou think you can change them or because you think it's what you deserve because random invisible forces dictate it be so. Best thing is to just make friends and see where it leads without pushing the idea of romance or anything. Be yourself and be happy with who you are. If you don't like yourself, believe me, nobody else will and you'll get people who also avhe self-esteem issues an who'll love you for the wrong reasons.
