I am only looking for friends and what could/might happen within the framework of a friendship.

Most of the people here live too far away from me. Nevertheless, maybe I'll meet someone from here, even if it's for a pint and yapping.

There are locals but don't seem interested even as friends so if it happened long distance I would not say no to the possibility.

Just met one, had a couple drinks and a nice chat but that was it.

Not yet. I joined about an hour ago

No, but I'd like to try making friends (preferably local) here.

The individuals here I would be most interested in meeting are either not interested in meeting anyone (ala bio info), or are too far away even if there was mutual interest. Beyond all that, I think I'm a lot to put up with.

There just aren't many available men in my age range in my area. Sooooo, I'm just enjoying the hanging around.

Would like to meet people around here.

Only messages since distance is a big factor. All my friends here, they know who they are.

Unfortunately, no. I feel like most people around my age and live close by don't stick around on this site very long.

Not yet. I would if I were geographically closer to people I've befriended here.

Some have gone to the messaging stage but none have really stuck, though there are a few people I know I can reach out to.

Yes, I've met 5 people. None local to me. Both male and female friends. Might meet one or two more on my trip from Texas to Nevada in a few weeks. There are now more people in Nevada than when I left so maybe when I get back there some of us can get together. I'm taking a break from looking for romance right now but ultimately that's my goal.

Went on one date with one person. There was nothing there.

Been talking to someone else on the phone and on line for over a month now. We're really hitting it off. Unfortunately, she lives 450 miles away, but we are making plans to meet soon. And often. Who knows, maybe a move is in my future?

Distance is the main issue...

There are about 30 people I can think of right off the bat... that I would love to meet.

5 or 6 that I would dearly love to meet for a beer or glass of wine or lunch or dinner.

There are some truly wonderful human beings on this site...but it is only distance that prevents us from embracing them as tangible friends.

I wish this community was a village somewhere..and we could talk instead of typing..but there you are...

I find when I enjoy meeting people and not focused on whether I meet someone or not, it just happens. Whether here or where ever. I enjoy this community and since have less time currently due to other priorities, find I miss it.

Although I have encountered several superior minds on this site, there are far too many miles so I have no expectation of establishing a substantial relationship.

Have not met anyone in person yet but there are plans in the works. Just friendly platonic meetings, however. Not looking for romance or relationship anyhow.

Just friends, but not much else.

I met reason. She’s pretty hot.

Braaaaand new to the site!

I met the most wonderful, kind, smart, and beautiful woman with whom i am enjoying a renewed spirit. Started with coffee and cocoa.

I recently had a meet-up with a few local folks that are on the site. It was a fun time and just great to meet new people with shared interests.

I can't find anyone nearby.
