Serious relationship
« on: June 25, 2010, 07:04:17 pm »
I feel very lonely and I think I am ready for a serious relationship, life is too short to be depressed with whatever has happened.  Which websites would you recommend?

Have you considered Poz Personals?

Presuming you're from the States, of course. :)

The site Matty mentioned to you is a good start.  I used it for a while and met some interesting women.  I dated a few on and off then simply forgot about it.  I guess maybe a year went by (maybe shorter) when I noticed a notification in my email from Poz personals.  Curious, I went and checked it out.  It was a flirt from this cute little girl up the road from me with micro braids and the biggest smile that just seemed to light the day.  We met, dated, fell in love, she got pregnant, and then I married her..... just like that, maybe in different order though....

Anyways, give Poz a go.  Use the same precautions you would normally use to meet any other person (very important).  Just go in with few expectations and a fun attitude.

Good luck!!

I could have gone into detail about the Jamaican girl who made fun of my antiques and turned her nose up at my backyard.  Or the 55 year old grandmother who wanted nothing but a sexual relationship, I gotta admit her nighty pics where pretty hot.  Oh, what about the African girl in Orlando who wanted to cheat on her husband..  And I will never forget the one who told me she would be the last person anyone would ever guess would get infected with HIV because she was such a good girl, but drew my suspicion when she said she would meet me at her door on her knees...

No lie dude....  I hear stories about people not getting any action, but I had a frigging blast (action or not).

You make the call to Ebony Ayes and I am there!   I might be able to talk the wife into holding the camera if she knows how happy it would make me.

Gabrielle Union and even I would watch...for some reason I find her unnaturally hot.  I think it's the attitude.

You guys always take a thread and twisted it inside out.  She was asking for help, not raunchy humor.  I hope you did not scare her off.

Let's see - a quick google search turned up: positivesdating.com
I did keyword search on "hiv dating united kingdom" -- I'm sure that using other key words that are relevant to what you are searching for would probably turn up additional sites.
I think one of the initial posts mentioned Poz personals
As stated also in the one of the posts - exercise same amount of caution on any dating website (and sometimes even more) then one would in "real" life situations.

Your welcome Cindy.  Sometimes these threads get highjacked and go way off topic.  I think these guys or gals do it for laughs. Nothing personal, just their sense or humor.  ???

Some members mentioned "Poz Personals" which is on this web site. All you have to do to get there is to select community up above and then the tab personals. There you can open an account, describe yourself and put up a picture if you like. You can also do a search for people that are in you area. It is free and it is pretty good for meeting people. According to the site itself, it has been very successful in helping people find mates or matches.  I hear there was a marrage or two.  Well, I hope this helps and do not be discouraged.  I know there is someone out there waiting for you.   :)
