Have you ever got talking to someone on here who is just perfect for you?
Personality, looks, everything just clicks.
Do you believe it? Take a risk and see what happens? Or just think it's all just too good to be true and in my favourite personal style just fuck it up?
I'm inclined to choose the latter.
I'm not so sure great sex is worth the emotional turmoil!!
At least I'll always have coffee....

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon |
I have historically chosen the latter every time.
But..... I've got some of my closest and dearest friends from that as well, and there have even been people who are willing to put in the effort to make me see they want me (I'm such damn hard work) and it's been pretty amazing.
Still is in some ways 
However..... you're right. We will always have coffee. And coffee is awesome. With a friend is even better  |

I haven’t on here particularly (although I am talking to someone now) but I get what you’re saying!!
I took a risk and it ended up being a total disaster but I’ll tell you what the ride was thoroughly enjoyable while it lasted!!
I suppose it all depends on what you want from life at the moment!!
For me….I’d say jump right in and see where it goes (but I am a stranger on a swinging site lol)!! |

I think I'm inclined to choose the coffee. It never lets me down!
Latte?

I'd go with taking the risk - life is for living, carpe diem, yolo and other such sayings. There have been a couple of times when it hasn't worked out in the long term, we're not as compatible as we once were but I wouldn't change those. The good memories make it worthwhile.
And sometimes you meet someone who is the perfect key to your lock and it works effortlessly. Makes it all worthwhile. |

I've met someone on here before who I wish I'd met on a normal dating site, not sure if that's what you mean? And yeah it sucks when you meet on here if you can see it being more with that person, but the circumstances mean it probably won't be anything more than just a meet. Got to decide whether to carry on meeting them if you think you might get hurt in the long run |

That's sounds pretty perfect, the key to my lock! Unfortunately it's a pretty tight lock and I'm almost a 100% sure the key is well and truly lost  |

I have and yes I put the fear of rejection aside and asked if she would like to meet. It turned out beautifully.
I still think she is way out of my league and I feel so lucky to be with her.

I think I've reached that time in my life where I don't want or need emotional turmoil and would rather ask a lady FAC (Fancy A Coffee) than FAF.
So, if any of you ladies FAC, drop me a line! |

Not from Fab messages, never. I meet in person ASAP. People lie to get sex or the chance of sex.
People tell me I'm amazing from seeing some heavily cropped pic of cleavage or some bullshit profile text.  |

Have you met them in person or "fucked" up via messages?
Text can be misconstrued. If you or they give up because of words on a screen it's no time wasted.  |

I like to spend ages chatting and then fuck it up for maximum time wastage plus no actual sex.  |

My expectations when it comes to people on fab ( but also people in general) are so low that no one would be considered too good or not good enough. Meet me for a social, get to know me a bit, and if there's chemistry and compatibility we move from there. |

But you have to like someone to even get to a social?
Plus, geographically, socials aren't always easy to arrange. |

In real life away from fab I've met someone who was everything I didn't even know i was looking for but we just click, everything is right, even the sex is amazing.
But he's got some issues he needs to work though and I'm done with him ghosting me when things get tough for him.
Its a shitty situation which I need to be done with as its not fair to me  |

Nine times out of ten I get the too good to be true feeling but if you don't go along for the ride you would never know if it was going to lead anywhere. I have had more positive experiences than time wasters. |

Have you met them, or is this just in phone calls or voice chats?
Its easier to believe that someone that seems perfect to us is never really going to be interested because we tend to be self deprecating.
The reality is you will miss every shot you never make, so take a chance and see where it ends up, you might surprise yourself.
Just make sure you understand what you may stand to lose if it does go pear shaped. |

I don't think I'm cognisant enough to pick up on the "perfect" when I am messaging someone because messaging is devoid of any body language, tone and inflection. If I reach a certain level of 'piqued interest' and 'almost too good to be true' then I will take the plunge and suggest a coffee. Coffee is a great litmus test to see if everything (nearly everything?) aligns with that person.
Sometimes it's great to take a leap of faith and just go for it! |

Believe it, always take the risk and it will last for how long its supposed to last, some have lasted 2 weeks some 3 years, but I feel rich to have known and shared their lives for however long we merged |

It’s interesting you should ask this. I have noticed that Fab has made me incredibly complacent. I was more proactive when on the mainstream dating sites.
I was chatting until very recently with a lovely Fabber, who pretty much encompassed all I like in a bloke.
Even still, I let the chat fizzle out I can’t figure out why. But for me, Fab and indifference seem to go hand-in-hand.
I definitely take it less seriously than other platforms. I’m not saying this is the right way to go about things. It’s just the effect it has on me. I do enjoy the forum though. |

This is what I generally do! I get talking and lose interest or just deliberately phase it out.
I generally never take this place too seriously |

Agree, just geographically a quick coffee isn't an option at the moment!

I wonder if it's the element of being 'on a plate' so has lost 'it's value'? |

When I got chatting to someone who I instantly liked, I seized the opportunity with both hands and asked him to meet as soon as possible. It was only ever really meant to be a one-off due to the distance between us....but we clicked even more in person, and here we are two and a half years and numerous flights later. I'm glad we both took that chance |

I messaged someone as I loved their pics and thought they were similar to the way I had mine. In fact we had a similar profile - even our tagline was similarly worded about stimulating the mind.
It turns out that week, she’d lost a FB (they wanted more and she didn’t) and was looking for another. Any other week, it would have been a no.
We chatted and chatted and a couple of months later we met up. We both weren’t looking for anything other than FB’s but the more we seen of each other the more we realised we couldn’t let it go and it started what has now developed into the most amazing relationship.
Seize the moment is what I’d always say…you never know

"It's the line between it been utterly amazing or utterly heartbreaking.
50/50 chance of either I guess.
"
I just told him and myself that every day was a new day, a reset, living for the moment, until I was ready and willing to commit emotionally. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

It happens to the best of us.
100% this is why I only meet at clubs now.
I appreciate I’m not for everyone but why your text and then don’t.
I’ve been lucky enough to meet my RB who respects me and my feelings. |

"It’s interesting you should ask this. I have noticed that Fab has made me incredibly complacent. I was more proactive when on the mainstream dating sites.
I was chatting until very recently with a lovely Fabber, who pretty much encompassed all I like in a bloke.
Even still, I let the chat fizzle out I can’t figure out why. But for me, Fab and indifference seem to go hand-in-hand.
I definitely take it less seriously than other platforms. I’m not saying this is the right way to go about things. It’s just the effect it has on me. I do enjoy the forum though.
I wonder if it's the element of being 'on a plate' so has lost 'it's value'? "
Quite possibly Midnight. It makes me wonder if I really deserve to meet someone Mind you, I don’t think the time is right. |

Reading the ladies' comments above to each other on here shows clearly why us silly men will never, ever, understand them.
Girl 1 "I have found the perfect guy, handsome, well off, kind, intelligent, generous, well balanced, loves children, thinks I am beautiful even 1st thing in the morning, wants to meet me whenever I am free, has his own house and is absolutely great at sex. I could love him in an instant."
Girl 2 "Oh no! Don't go there sister!"
Girl 1 "Yup, already called it off. Going for that arrogant, gym bunny that made me walk home in the rain."
Girl 2 "Good choice. Safety first sister"
No wonder it was a man that wrote "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." |

Just go with it. When I met my husband my head said a definite no, as I wasn't that long out of a previous relationship, but my heart said yes. I saw him for a few weeks and got scared of my feelings for him so asked him if we could just be FWB. That didn't last long as the feelings and chemistry between us was so overwhelming we just had to be together.
That was over 18 years ago. We are still very much in love and very happy.
Go for it, what's the worst that can happen. |

Nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. There is no passion to be found in playing small and settling for a life less than the one your capable of living.
You can either go for it, or always wonder if you missed "The one"...

Sometimes things that appear too impossible to be true are true though, the only thing to stand between it is ruining it yourself or not pursuing it through fear |

"There was a time I would have risked taking a chance.
These days I just can’t be arsed. What’s meant for me will come to me. Naturally. I have other things to focus on in the meantime."
I get your point totally. However, nothing usually come on a plate. You have to put a little effort in x |

I'm exactly the same! I don't know why either.. I often let chats with lovely people fizzle. Its strange because I haven't had sex in such a long time and my high sex drive is through the roof! But yet I am not proactive at all might be a confidence thing for me, or just being used to not having sex.
In regards to the question - there was a woman I was wildly attracted to, thought was too good to be true but I ruined it.. think I sabotaged it out of insecurity and fear of developing stronger feelings after being intimate with her (plus distance was a barrier). I regret it now |

Having done the long distance romance with a lady from West Sussex for twenty one month's who I met on another swingers site, and enjoyed spectacular times together in more than just swinging scenarios, I am acutely aware of the fact that despite compatibility on the highest level, unless one or other is prepared to relocate, distance will kill it in the end. Although I do keep in touch with one or two on here who I may one day get to meet, I don't actively pursue distance meets or dating despite what seems to be the ultimate WOW factor because, unfortunately it can be a case of chasing rainbows. |

It’s not my experience, there’s someone I’ve seen here for over 7 years who lives the other end of the country. Distance has never bothered me, it can actually help keep the relationship from getting overly serious. |

Thank you everyone.
I'm great at giving out advice to other people but when it comes to myself, I'm just great at fucking things up. But I'll see where it all leads...
If all fails then lots of girls nights on the wine and rum!!! (Well,we'll do that anyway!)

Totally get what you mean, girl
Especially if you, like me, tend to be very skeptical and suspicious about everything and everyone.
Id say go for it, thread carefully, if you sense fuck boy vibes. RUN the hell away. Just my 2 cents |

I am extremely skeptical when it comes to men.
Haha I'm ace at running away!

Good, I mean… if that happens (I hope it doesn’t) we could co-write a book about “how to get away from fuck boys”

"Have you ever got talking to someone on here who is just perfect for you?
Personality, looks, everything just clicks.
Do you believe it? Take a risk and see what happens? Or just think it's all just too good to be true and in my favourite personal style just fuck it up?
I'm inclined to choose the latter.
I'm not so sure great sex is worth the emotional turmoil!!
At least I'll always have coffee....

Do you mean if you think they're too good to be true they'll inevitably let you down or you'll do something wrong?
Yeah I guess, people say stuff just to get sex.
I am very aware of that!
yeah it's rife on here too. Sometimes they're genuine though , courage mon brave ! "
O yes its true . |

"Why would you not want to explore the situation he could be the one
You won't know unless you explore
Im past thinking the one even exists. Just maybe the one for right now. "
On a swingers site that is probably the right thought to have .
Out in the real world , well if you think that way you will always look for ways and reasons to find something else, a reason to muck it up. Be open and honest about your thoughts and feelings. |

If you've had your trust shattered by one or more people (and I think we share that) then it's always going to be harder to take another chance. Because your scepticism is based on experience. |
