Personal ads?

[Spenser41]

I have been on Lit for over 4 yrs. and I am just wondering. In all of that time and all of the personal ads on here. Has anyone ever really made a connection? Even a bad one? Because all I read is how someone wants to meet someone and there is alot of talk about yes lets do something but most of the ads are nothing more then postings and playings. So come on - has anyone on lit ever meet and dated anyone from Lit?

Yes, and yes. I have done both. The thing that you learn very quickly is that some people on here, (none gender specific), are not what or who they tell you they are, and don't believe everything that you are told.

While some people are very upfront and honest about what they who they are and what they want, alot are not. So you go about things with no expectations and then if it happens, it's all good and if it doesn't, you simply move on.

Things are very different in real life than online. It is not a perfect world and we are not perfect people.

Connections . . .

The answer is happily, YES! My sweetheart and I met via the Lit personals board over two years ago. He was on the west coast, I was on the east but once we connected we sent thousands of emails and made hundreds of phone calls and in May, I few out to collect my love and bring him home with me! We married in July and are still revelling in warm, newly-wed fuzzies.

The other side of that story is that I banged around on the boards for at least two years prior to meeting my love and enjoyed sharing erotic emails with a number of really great guys and some, not so great. Ironically, when we met, my husband had only owned a computer for something like two weeks and I responded to one of his first posts on the boards. Life's a dice toss.

Yes, I've actually met some people from the boards. In every case, it has been a good experience. I think, however, that you have to develop friendships rather than hoping for that quick hit. There are a lot of people who post saying they are looking to meet someone who either aren't serious, or change their minds. When you think about it, even after you've chatted with someone over a period of time, it is still kind of a big risk to meet face-to-face. Fortunately, there are a lot of good folks on Lit, so don't give up.

Best of luck to you.

yes i have

Yes, I have...I placed a personal ad on here a few months ago. Looking for a lady in my area. I was shocked to have it answered. We see eachother from time to time and I truely consider her one of my dear friends. I guess i kinda got lucky, very sweet person, w/ a heart of gold. But I am sure theres more 'unreal' people here than good ones.. Just glad I found/met someone so down to earth.

Well, I have been searching for a playmate for a while. Not just a fuck buddy but someone to share interests and have fun together. I have meet many great friends here which is a good thing. But, so far not that special friend... The whole cyber think wears out real fast if there is no reality to put together with it for me. But, yet I hear all the great storys and can figure it out. It always seems that they are to far away or married seaking a cyber relationship only...

Don't mean to rain on the parade. Just a bit of honesty...
