| serious inquiries only. Aren't the majority of us looking to find a relationship thats LONG TERM anyway? Because theres always the exceptions. But how serious can an inquiry be if you haven't met them yet? I'm sorry, because I just find humor in some of these profiles, when they say unreasonably curious things.

| How exactly do people meet each other?? When people put up a profile on dating site it is in the hope of “meeting” someone. The advantage is that you can tell a little bit about yourself and what things you’re looking for. Otherwise we need to go back to the day’s when friends and relatives would set us up on blind dates.

| In layman's terms, it means they want a relationship and their intent is to find one that is long term. They are not looking for just sex or booty calls.

marriage...just a long term relationship.

| Interesting twist Yankee. I always thought a long term relationship could possibly lead to marriage.
Guess I'm wrong. Long term relationship can also be considered a limiting factor in a relationship...Interesting.

| Dutch...thats what I used to think too...
but I have met alot of men that state "longterm relationship" and
definitely are NOT interested in it possibly turning into marriage.
They basically want one woman but not the actual eventual
commitment...Most of these men have been married and burned before...
and don't want to got there again...but want the stability...
Kind of like having your cake and eating it too!

| The people who are really "marriage-minded" usually
have no problem saying that right up-front...The ones that say
"longterm" are really sitting on the fence and trying to be
"nice" about it. You could spend a good many years with
someone like this and never end up married...and then
they say...but I never said I would get married???
Been there...so I know....

| Why does it have to lead to marriage? Can't two people just decide to be together forever and that's that. Why does it take a piece of paper to make it last forever? Seems to me that you are just putting undue stress on a relationship to make it last forever, when if you truly believe that it will last forever, there will be no doubt.

| It's all good by me. I'm looking for a long term relationship but as far as marriage goes, I could live without it.
Guess it will all depend on the one that I connect with. On the fence just like you said YANKEE. I could fall on either side of it.

| Long term relationship or marriage?
I no longer see marriage as the “symbol” of commitment that it once was. Now I see marriage as being a contract that keeps many lawyers employed when it goes bad.
My parents got divorced over 25 years ago and each has been in a long term relationship for over 20 years without getting married.
Commitment is something both parties share.
Marriage has turned into a contract of “ownership.”
A friend of mine once said to me “Only get married if you want to have kids.” For some reason that makes sense to me.

| My feelings only::: How about hoping for a lengthy courtship with the intent of marriage if each other agree...I do not want a "Love them and Leave them " relationship...it is too stressful and uncomfortable to think of being booted out one day and your heart is broken...nor am I will to sacrifice my dignity for a couple nights or a week end "sexual encounter"

| Malexand--I could not agree more, why is marriage a requirement? I believe we are living in a "disposable marriage" society. You can be totally committed to someone and never enter in to marriage, you can also be totally committed to someone and still live separately. At the risk of getting blasted here, especially as we get older, isn't marriage, just a piece of paper?
