2. Do you listen to Air America?
They advertise a singles group but can't remember the address. You might do some searching at Air America. I don't think this is regional.

It's relatively new...but if we plug it here on DU more liberal singles will look into it and join...so far it looks promising...DU started out a a new site with relatively few members once too...

6. Just thought I'd kick this up again...
A while back I approached Skinner asking if it would be a good idea to form a Singles Group, not so much a dating service, but a place to discuss issues about being single... so far very little has come of it, but maybe if a few other are serious about it, we can get some support...

Some details can be found here...

8. Hey, thanks someone noticed
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 09:45 PM by Longgrain
I tried suggesting this in the lounge a while back but it seemed to get lost among all the silliness around here...

If a few more singles are serious about forming a support group, I'd love to hear from them...

11. Got my vote!
Although I'm a little befuddled - how much more trouble could a singles forum cause than some of the stuff you see here in the lounge, for crying out loud??? LOL

18. I'll bookmark this thread...
And hope for the best...

It's just, I noticed it's difficult to get any serious talk about singles issues started here, especially in the Lounge.

I'm single never been married, and I'm just starting to get serious about getting back on the scene...

The last woman I fell for was a single mother. It didn't work out between us but I had high hopes of starting a long term relationship with her. I only wish there was a place where we could all talk about these things without it turning into a "hubba-hubba--me so horny" thread.

13. I just noticed Bartcop has a Democratic Singles site advertised on his
board.

I don't know a thing about it though.

20. I just deleted my profile from Democratic Singles
It was a free site in the beginning. But now they want to charge. If you have to pay to reply to someone who initiates contact, then there's a chance for fraud. I'm not saying DS might be tempted. But many of those sites will send message notifications to folk from bogus accounts so they'll will cough up money to reply.

Plus, I'm in a big metropolitan area, and there were very women locally.

21. Thanks for the word up...
I'll keep that in mind.

I on the other hand am kind of suspicious of free-sites, since they tend to attract a lot of stalkers or people posing as singles...

My area's semi-rural BTW so I don't get a chance to meet a lot of interesting people. The most interesting people I've met on the web are right here at DU. :hi:

22. I'd rather meet people directly.
I've only had one experience with anything as far as an online relationship and frankly, if it doesn't work out, it's my last as well.

It lets you get to know someone very deeply before you meet, but I think at times there's something to be said for getting to know someone without all the missing elements that exists with an online thing. Sorry for my somewhat jaded opinion.

24. And again...
:kick:

I'm still seriously interested in trying to get a "Singles Support Group" going. I approached Skinner once before about this, but I'm guessing the Administrators Forum is going to be slow moving until after the holidays, so I probably won't bother them until early next year...

Anyone else want to chime in?
