With the number of ads in the newspapers for "fair, slim, tall, well employed but home-loving", it's a wonder that there's any genetic diversity.

LOL:rofl:

Perhaps human evolution will now be shaped by online romance seekers favoring certain genetic traits above others. Weirdness seems to be favored by PF women.:smile:

I never looked for a date amongs people whom I meet online since I'm so skeptical of them.(the majority of them sounds crazy since I'm great at attracting weird people around myself)

But anyway I've finally met my soulmate in a chatroom!:blushing:

I wouldn't like to sound discouraging, but I've met ~15 soulmates in chatrooms in a certain period of my life.

Didn't meet a soulmate in my real life, though. :rolleyes:

hmmm...not discouraging at all since I'm confident on my claim this time!:wink: Although I've met plenty of people both on net and real life, I've never felt this way about any of them.

:rofl: :rofl:

I knew you were going to say that!:biggrin:
hmmm... you know I think both of us are mature enough to realize whether we are right for each other or not.(I'm 24 and he's 28, although you can't say someone is mature becuase of his age. I just mention that to say we are not teenagers:rofl:)
It's been for more than 6 months since the 1st time we've met in a chatroom.(After a while we just realized that we have some mutual friends) We have so many things in common and share same interests. But what reallt attracts us to each other is our honesty, and craziness.
Anyway I never make a big deal of anything in my life, so that I just wait to see how things work out. But I'll have to admit that I'm so happy to see there's someone who's just as crazy as me!:smile:

Good luck too!

I have a theory that all of us actually stay in our teens most of our lives. :wink:

That's a good attitude.

You're theory couldn't be true about us since I think both of us have stayed in our childhood!:rofl:

That's a good attitude.
That's 1 of the things I like about him and he likes about me.:wink:



What's that craziness thing actually all about? :confused: :smile:
I'm not sure if I'd be able to explain it to you! Just to say that our interests, ideas, dreams and personalities is quite different from many of people around us.

Oh, that's great! Congrats! :smile: I'm glad MIH asked, because I thought I'd reserve my congrats until you met him in person and not just on chat.
