Dating Through Hub Pages.
Just wondering, could HP be another 'meeting' site or is this site strictly for the intellects to unwind and debate? I know there are designated dating websites out there, been there, done that, and wrote about it, but how many people hook-up through HP like through facebook or myspace, etc?
Not looking for stats, for those who have been here for some time,is it common?

I've never encountered it. If there are any romantic success through HubPages stories, the team would love to hear 'em.

I have heard of a few. Some seem to be doing well...others didn't end so great. But, I'll leave it to those involved to tell their own stories

Awww I am a sucker for happy endings.....and leaving things to chance, one never knows.
Okay, the only success story is one that is only a couple weeks old AND is now set in California, the state where you can gt divorced for ANY reason!?
I don't know . . .
Then again, Mighty Mom is out here in California . . .
What did she tell me one time . . .
I think I quoted her somewhere . . .

Yes, but given the nature of the infatuation it is called narcissism.

Does it?
It's intriguing and a nice way to get to know someone, at least you know right away you have something in common....instant ice breaker!

i can't believe i wondered why you had always left me totally alone, like never answered anything on my threads, joined in my hubs like you did with Ryan etc...... kinda felt a bit left out by the "bOSSES" now this comment, can you explain exactly what you mean here
I think it's because many of us "pour our souls" into our writing. We get to know each other on a deeper basis than we would, say, by meeting in a bar. Just a theory...

I haven't avoided you. Just so you know, I'm not here to use HubPages as a social networking site. I frequent the forum to learn, and to share. I rarely have questions to ask, because I often experiment, or I learn from others before I get stumped on the problem.
I comment on very few hubs, though I of course read more than I comment on. But I write more than I read (I have more than one account here at HP, but this is the only one I use for forum interaction). And I do most of my reading on good old fashioned paper. Some fiction (in bed at night) and I've got a thing for encyclopedia's.
Off the top of my head I felt compelled to comment on Misha's sushi thread, because it appealed to my stomach. I felt compelled to comment, and even participate on Ryan's, because it appealed to my sense of humour. If dig deep enough into my hubtivty I'd find other instances.
My reply to your comment is me agreeing with you, and highlighting the absurdity (not you, you're not absurd) of the unbridled displays of affection that people have for themselves through their online alter-egos.
Aside from that, finding love online is fine. It's just another place to connect and communicate with people. While it can be considered safer than a pub or a club some might get more than they bargained for to find that there's a man behind the woman (and vice versa).

Lovely word and had a lovely car made back in the day with the name...*more scrumps* I couldn't resist mentioning that "affinity" is the correct word. "Infinitely" means something completely different. As for dating situations from HubPages, I suppose it can/does happen anywhere there are people; but if I were looking for dates I wouldn't be comfortable meeting someone online.
