Dating Service

[Ailerongirl]

Any guys in the Fort Walton Beach/Pensacola area feel free to PM me.

Hey, hey! We're not a dating service!

 

[Beatrix_Kiddo]

Maybe not, however, it is always nice to meet someone who has similar interests close to home

 

[mudkow60]

I agree...

Most people I meet in my area are not pilots.

Hey, hey! We're not a dating service!

that would make for an interesting addition to flifo,
another method of generating some extra income perhaps,
theres apparantely plenty of us singles on here lol,
except for being widely scattered geographically

"Nothing is free"

That's true. But volunteering is a great way to meet people without shelling out lots of bucks. It just costs you your time.

true, but unfortunately, with most of our schedules, its hard to maintain a regular attendence to functions such as those to get to meet anyone

I'm joining this thread rather late but I think it's pretty interesting because it is really difficult for a single guy in the aviation industry to meet women.

amen brother

In addition to 350's list I would add volunteering and taking some courses (i.e., professional, art, self-improvement, etc).

The way I see it, on-line dating is great for the sheer volume of matches, so if you're into serial-dating then that's great. Or as someone else once said, Quantity has it's own Quality.

Good luck.

see first reply above,

serial dating would be great, but again, its all in the womans court, you can send out winks/emails/eyecontacts, etc, all day long, but if the women in the area are picky, well, what you get is buptkis. particularly with the much more finite quantity of ads with photographs that aren't 'scary' as oujetdriver pointed out.

as for the 'increase your dating' books, they don't really help people like myself, for who, reading all the texts in the world won't make me any more confident or suave around women i don't know. thats just an ability i've never aquired, perhaps its genetic

aside from the fact that apparantly those books are all about being someone else, not yourself, so where does that leave you if you find someone you want to be with?
you can't carry the act on forever, while it may get ya some in the short term (not a bad thing at all mind you) but is it 'right' to be serially deceptive?


now hugh, i know your gonna come down on me for all this 'wussy' talk, but i'm not the studboy you are bud

 

[Dash8]

3rd most popular(by views) and also

What you get is what you give. If you are being deceptive it is because you are hiding something you are probably not proud of. Women have the exact same problem. Just because YOU want to be with someone specific does not mean that particular someone is interested in you. The idea is to know what you are looking for before you begin the search. Then the only problem is knowing where to look in finding that particular character.

With the Internet those places will become more and more available. If you are looking for brainy chicks, for example, a university would be a good place to look. Even better would be places where university people go after work. Women are much the same emotionally, that is to say their brains are wired the same, what you are doing is fine tuning the outer surface; the parts you first recognize. And among that selection might be the one that looks back at you with a come ahead smile. You win.

Don't waist your time going to places that attract women you are not interested in. If you hang out at a bar where people go just to get laid, well that is great; but you have to know that the women who go there are going for the same reason. The relationship is destined to be short term at best.

For myself, I am interested in the scientific type. What about YOU?

 

[ThomasR]

I don't know the ratio of women to men on this forum, however, anyone who is single might provide that information in case there are people interested in finding single people in the aviation business. There are many people outside of aviation who review this forum also who might like to contact you.

Sounds like you have good friends. Friends and family see traits in us that we are unaware of in ourselves. There is no better source of finding a true match than through your friends. I hope you had a good time.

Dating

There is a company called Zero-G, Inc. in Florida. They take customers up in a gutted 727 and then dive to experience weightlessness. It cost somewhere around $3000.00 a ticket. Do you think this is too extravagant for a first date? Or do you feel women would prefer a carnival ride, sky diving or scuba diving just as well? Just going swimming would be lot less expensive.

I'm joining this conversation rather late in the game but I thought I'd comment on this post anyways... As fun and as exciting as this sounds, yes, it's too extravagant for a first day. You don't want to come across as desperate do you?? Or worse...make the poor girl sick!

Don't try so hard...find something pleasant and cost-effective...have you met the girl more than once??

Good luck!

Hi Lola,

Thanks for your response. I was beginning to think this post was going to die.

The girl I met or actually I haven't really met yet; but know about her through the Internet. She is in aviation and rather high up on the status ladder. She has more flight experience than I do and more education but less life experience since she spent most of her adult development in schools of various kinds (I am only guessing, she might be an off the wall wild Amazon with an extraordinary IQ).

She is from the Midwest with central European ethics (reserved and guarded). Does not express a lot of interest in much of anything. She seems to have a developed direction in life but is very secluded about expressing anything of detail about herself. I think she might be interested in most anything in regard to a date scenario. But the people she associates with are of a high income type and she undoubtedly has access to extravagance of many sorts.

Since she is unwilling to express any of her personal life I have to assume many things about her from the limited facts I have. She readily responds to my correspondence but is very limited in details. I am petty sure should I stop writing her I would quickly be forgotten.

I guess what I am really wondering is should I pursue this or let it die; and if I continue how much time / energy should I put into keeping her motivated?

I am at the other extreme in that I am an open book. I figure if I have done it there are over a billion other people who have done the same thing. So we are something of opposites. Some say opposites attract. Do you think that is true?

OR...... "she" might be a 300-lb, 46-yr-old, bearded male pervert getting his jollies off by using the oldest tricks in the internet book.

In which case, the $3,000 weightlessness ride might provide JUST THE THING to seal the deal for "her"!!!!


Now, what was that line from "Something About Mary"???


I'm just messin' with ya'!

TonyC you are everywhere. You brought up something I had not thought about. I would, of cource, have to meet this person before making any kind of plans; and it is quite probable she is a player making time while she is still young. I have never played anyone for the perks but I have had several attempts on me in the past. This scenario is similar to a play bill, very reserved banking of goodies before revealing any personal feelings; ignoring specific requests for information staying just off topic so as not to loose your interest. Very short replies to lengthy messages [low investment to higher interests].

 

[ThomasR]

That's the beauty of dating men in aviation. They come with a 10 year federal, state and local background check. As well as drug, alcohol and sometimes nicotime screening. In addition, they have more in common and you can appreciate the industrie's lifestyle.

Are you married yet? or are you holding out for someone of Astonaut status?

1. less life experience since she spent most of her adult development in schools of various kinds
2. Does not express a lot of interest in much of anything. ... I think she might be interested in most anything in regard to a date scenario.
3. I am petty sure should I stop writing her I would quickly be forgotten.
4. I guess what I am really wondering is should I pursue this or let it die; and if I continue how much time / energy should I put into keeping her motivated?
5. I am at the other extreme in that I am an open book. I figure if I have done it there are over a billion other people who have done the same thing. So we are something of opposites. Some say opposites attract. Do you think that is true?

Alrighty...here I go with my opinions...

1. tons of time spent in school does not have to mean less life experience. if that is what she told you, something is up, if you assumed that, stop assuming that.

2. those two statements are in direct conflict with each other. if she doesn't express much of an interest in anything, she's probably not up for just about anything datewise...

3. Hmm...makes me think that (harsh statement coming up...) she doesn't care about you and has no desire to meet you (*runs and hides*)

4. She doesn't sound like any fun from your description of her!! And you sound like you are, or you want to be, fun! Move on and find someone who expresses interest in something, anything...please?

5. Do I think opposites attract? Hmm...no. Not in your case! Think about it, you two are dating, you tell everyone everything and she is worried/offended that everyone in your life, and not in your life, knows everything about her -- you fight. Other side: you get offended that 5 months into the relationship, her friends don't even know of you! -- you fight... Sounds like fun to me.

Just trying to be helpful...not trying to offend...she doesn't sound like someone I'd want to be friends with though.
