Well maybe "rubbing it in" wasn't the best phrase to use. What I was getting at was that while it must be great to meet people from this site (and forum), not all of us are so fortunate and still find a cushy home amongst other lonely singles on the Singles forum. Now of course I'm not saying "hey, stay the heck out!" to the coupled up members. (That'd be stupid) Quite frankly, it's the lovey doveyness that I think is a tad out of place. It's not the PERSON, it's the SUBJECT.
I admit I'm probably alone in that line of thinking, though, and for that I apologize for being a slight spoilsport. I'm aware that it really can be a hope for many a single person out here to find a mate or a worthy candidate on this site, so I'm of course not speaking on behalf of everyone else. Maybe I can be in that predicament too with my own special guy so that I can be on the other end of the spectrum (for ONCE) and look at it from another angle and be all giddy and girly and grateful to God that He hasn't forgotten about me, but pfft, who knows how much longer that will be. Probably a long time since men are not my favorite creatures right now.
Sorry for being a sour note here, though.Feel free to carry on with couplehood chatter. I think I got my basic gist of thoughts off my chest anyway.
Carry on, carry on.
i agree with both of you. There has to be a balance. All people who are single should be welcome on the "singles" forum. heck, i don't care if married people even post here as long as they are respectful. Vents, praises should all be accepted here. There should not be just one point of view and everyone else should jsut leave if they don't share that veiwpoint. Respect is key.No you're not alone....I feel the same way. But it feels like the majority of the singles forum is coupled up now so what are you going to do. I also think that most of the more popular active posters are coupled now. Plus most of the singles who feel upset by it probably stay away so the general opinion seems to be that everyones happy and encouraged when really that might not be the case.
I also take offense to the idea that a single person who's upset should just stay away. This is the SINGLE's forum it should be a safe place for them. If they went in the couples forum and posted that seeing couples is upseting to them then I'd tell them to stay away. Also that makes it seem like single people's opinions are worth less than that of the now coupled people.
No, certainly not. There are loads of them about.
Haha thanks, that's an interesting perspective. But the line between "I'm in love with that guy" and "I can't stand that guy!" seems very thin to me.I'll just share my own experiences here. Here's how you get into a relationship...
Stick around the singles board, and constantly argue, fight, and debate with people. Somehow, that causes the love of one's life to drop into your lap.
....at least, that's how it worked for me
Yah, that seems to have been what happened in my lengthy absences. I suppose it's best for me to still keep my distance from this site, or at least this particular forum, or just spend more of the time at the other boards where you would never know who's together or not.No you're not alone....I feel the same way.

I agree. I usually steer VERY clear of couple forums because it gets me too bitter and I surely dont' want to rain on any of THEIR parade. But I shouldn't have to do that here. Though like I mentioned to another poster here, it's understandable that people want to share their happiness with others (and I'm sure I'd want the same), but I guess it's how extreme do you get? Where does one draw the line? Gah, I suppose this situation is only as bad I one allows it to be.I also take offense to the idea that a single person who's upset should just stay away.

Lol I would be included in that...What I would like to see, more than anything, are those who met here, and are now split up.
That kind of list...should...be interesting.
Time to start a "singles in singles forum" forum.
I've suggested a subforum before. On numerous occasions. I think that maybe we should do a poll... ask everyone on here if we should have a subforum for singles who are single... and then I can message the poll link to the person who helps Erwin design the site. maybe they'll fulfill our request then.
