31 Anything Else You Want To Tell Me?
Yeah. Once in a while in various personals groups, you'll see
discussion start on certain topics that aren't really personal ads.
People might discuss their dating experiences or argue the finer
points of this, that, or the other thing related to personal ads.
This may seem kind of pointless if all you want to do is answer ads,
but in my experience, these discussions might be worth it, and here's
why:
I have heard from a number of people that they met someone special
NOT by answering an ad, but instead, by replying to something someone
said in a discussion in alt.personals. I met my good friend Carla
that way, and I have even heard of at least one couple who got
MARRIED after meeting in alt.personals, even though neither of them
ever actually posted an ad.
Yes, alt.personals and its associated groups really do work. I
consider myself a success story, and I've heard from many others with
similar success. The things to remember are to be cautious, be
considerate, BE PATIENT, and to never give up looking for that
special someone.
Good luck to you all!
