I am on online dating apps and international penpal site and this site to find people who would listen to me. I think the online dating apps and penpal site have been a sheer waste of my time. I did find some people but realize I am really not interested in meeting anyone in person but just want to talk. The penpal site is ok but full of scammers. I also don't like the people who contact me. If you read my thread about the online dating app, I did find one French man who I divulge my thoughts but I don't think is really interested in reading them. Thus, I feel lonely at times. I did make one acquaintance in person but she is my former student and I don't feel it is her business to listen to my problems and thoughts. I try to keep this relationship professional. I thought it would be fun to be on online dating apps and penpal sites but realize that people on such sites are odd and that ordinary people who work and have families are not on there, of course. I am meeting very weird people on there, such as lecherous men, people who just want to crash my place to visit, and scammers. I finally figured that the ordinary people are too busy with such sites and are too busy to be bothered. But, I am still on these sites to see if I can still chat with people and just shoot the breeze.
Does anybody else go on online dating apps and penpal sites to find people to just chat and to vent? I think I must be one of the few oddballs who do this? And, do you try to meet people in person or have just online pals? Please share your thoughts! |

Well, I talked to the French man again. We are doing well. He allows me to share my thoughts with him and likes me giving him attention. I thought he would be sick of me by now. But, I realize different strokes for different folks. So, I'm doing fine. I feel blessed to know that he still likes me and wants to meet me. We will meet as soon as I move from here.
I also got off the online dating app since I was not serious about it although I met my french man there. I also am planning to get off the penpal site too. I will find other means of entertainment. I think I could have just maintained contacts for teaching them English but am not interested in doing so for now. I will concentrate on other matters for now. |

FIrst, most sites have all these zombie people on it. They probably signed up 4 years ago and haven't been back since. So you can write to someone and never hear back. Then, have you notice a real lack of discussion? If you go to facebook or reddit people just make statements that don't involve a discussion. Or the answer is "me too" or "yes I agree" not a real conversation. Where did all the people having a conversation go? |

Emily, thank you for replying! Well, I used the pen pal site interpals.net to find pen pals. There are scammers on there but some people are real and want to chat. If you want to just chat, it might be a good site to use and it is free. Although I found it hard to keep up with my pen pals and also did not continually want to teach them English, interpals site did allow me to chat with people all over the world. You can control who contacts you too. It is an ok site. I know some people there are seeking snail mail contacts too if you are into that. I am not. I find the site to be ok but not for language learning. I think I study better on my own. Anyways, you can peruse the site and see if you can make some contacts who would like to chat. Best wishes!
