Had an "ideal partner" but she's 7 years into dementia, the woman I married is long gone. I have finally started to look around for someone new, but I will not try or assume I will get lucky twice. For one thing I'm one of those eccentric artistic types (shudder), my goal is acceptance for what I am, and that ain't easy.

Not a waste of time on here at all. As far as I'm concerned, my partner is still out there. If I meet someone here, great. If I don't, I'm not disappointed because I've always enjoyed the community.

I don't see it as a waste of time

I sleep a lot but never about partners. I dream about getting out of a building. I am a scape artist of sort. Never the same setting. This site has nothing to do with it. In less than 2 weeks I will be back in Las Vegas so... Some dreams become a reality. Once in Vegas the hunt... may begin and may not. But the scape dreams should end. No need to talk to Freud. What was the question again?

Sigh. No. I am convinced it will simply never happen.

Yes I have found my ideal partner here. I actually moved 600 miles to move in with him.

It turned out pretty strange I actually originally came on here because I am lonely and I would like to meet a wonderful lady ( although at this point I would be more than happy to settle for just a nice lady with a pulse) and then I found out I'm staying for the community

If I had ..I doubt she’d encourage or even allow me to spend this (nonfuckin) much time around here

You’re second questions more difficult.. No, the best time is wasted

Alas, Brad Pitt still isn't returning my calls.

It is nice of you to state that one's dream partner may be here and easy to locate. Not so nice to say that otherwise one is wasting their time. I am not looking for a perfect partner, I already have one, so I do not think it is a waste to talk with all the nice and kind people I have so far communicated with.

Sure,all things are possible, location is sometime a drawback,weighing do I invest the time, and effort? I'm 71, do I have many years left? Who knows?

I don't worry about landing my dream partner,nor do I consider my time here as wasted. Like many other things I do, if I meet my dream partner while doing them, that's great, if I enjoy myself anyway, that's wonderful.

Yes I did. Met through Private Messaging, Singles Chat Room, Telephone and finally in person latst week.

I don't consider it a waste of time, this is a worthwhile endeavor. Finding a partner to enjoy life with is worth the effort. I will make the effort gladly until we find each other.
