What keeps you here?

Honestly, I dont even know anymore. I came here about 12 months ago looking for a girl I might end up in a long term relationship with. I thought I found one but she spent most of it lying to me, using me, playing me for a fool and for the final two months, cheating on me, despite being the best I could be. Since I met her here, I feel somewhat reluctant to come back as much as its not left me with a very good impression. Now I know not everyones the same but the whole incident really knocked my confidence way out of line. I know this place isnt primarily for dating but since Im not overly good at the social part (being somewhat older than the people I 'should' be able to get on with leaves me feeling like a creepy old dude.. (no offence to anyone older than me..) I just come on here to find that special person. But Im also a realist, Im too much of a 'nice guy' to find anyone since despite what girls say, they dont really want that... anyway, rant over... tl;dr Dont know why Im here Im too old for most people I 'should' get on with/be interested in/be interested in me Bad experience knocked my already low confidence

I understand simonsan you should not feel like that I think their is somebody out their for you I hope you the best on finding that individual i have had the problem on here 2 times myself with people on the site

I'm staying because I'm a robot...bleep bloop! No, but in all seriousness this is an interesting site, it's just that it seems like it's not maintained at all. Also you kinda have to weed out the "liars" from the people who are genuinely looking to find someone. I've seen people get together and stay together though rare you still see it and when you do you can't help but hope for it to happen to you yourself.

I'm still on here out of hope that if I'm not I might miss him...the guy I'm meant to be with or even a guy that lives an hour or close to me..I might miss him..so I stay on hoping.^^

I'm staying because of the possibility of sparking a true friendship soon to relationship with a awesome woman if i ever cross that bridge.

Well I was off for a year or more I came back only because I thought I should start making friends and getting back into the whole dating thing.
