hastoloverush Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Gee whiz, Rush fans...where are the thousands of guys for this one of seven girl? Yes I am in the 1% division here (too old to tell, but not older than God..yet! Lol). So I go to this website and sign up to meet someone and got this response from Mr. Wonderful. He was drop dead gorgeous, but not a Rush fan(first red flag. teehee.) He tells me all this stuff and I am so excited becuase it was too good to be true. Yep. Literally. He is really clever: Makes up reasons he can't meet (away overseas for his job), he goes to a church website in my town and claims he is a member and uses names of the pastors as his spiritual advisors, describes how we could go to_____;just fill in the blank of any local park, etc. Come to find out it's a scammer. These people are often located in foreign lands. The less sophisticated ones use horrible grammar, and english. My more sophisticated one had pretty good written english. He must have known I was not an easy mark because he never tried to ask for money. They all work up to that. They go to modeling sites and lift pictures to post. It is organized crime and at least half of the men on dating websites are criminals...and probably 90% of the "sexy" females are porn actresses. After going through a realationship with a narcissist...no not your conceited boyfriend type...a true clinical diagnosis narcissist....I am burnt to crispy critter land. Seems like there are so many haters, liars and theives out there, it's nearly impossible to find a good guy. "...but I still cling to hope..."

1 of the 7 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 At first glance at your post, I thought you were talking about me! I think a far better way to go about meeting someone is to go on sites like this where there are guys that share your interest, take part in as much discussion as you can so people get to know you, and subtly let it be known you're single. At tour time, go to meetups and hang out with fellow fans. You might just strike up that conversation that leads to more! And don't be afraid of that guy you may meet elsewhere who isn't a big fan of Rush (as long as he isn't a jerk about it) - my boyfriend wasn't that into them when I became a fan, but they've grown on him a lot, we've seen them together twice, and he sees how happy they make me, and that makes him happy. I bet an open-minded guy who sees a show for the first time would be blown away anyway! Oh, and if you have Rush shirts, wear them...a lot! I find them to be great conversation starters! Good luck finding a nice Rushdude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid_Gloves Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I met the love of my life right here on TRF. Nothing greater than your man loving Rush just as much as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hastoloverush Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Awww-handle with kid gloves....thank you so much, sweetie. You give me hope. Maybe my 'love of my life' guy is lurking right here in TRF! Tee hee. If so, plz let him be over the age of 45, through at least 1 or2 divorces, and have facial hair. Bald is okay. Beer gut is okay. Can't take a shower, brush teeth or launder own clothes...NOT okay. No dirties allowed. Nor atheists. All else is negotiable. You all have been kind to me. Thanks and yes I will hang out here more. Got some shows coming up to talk about. Was out for the summer due to major surgery but all is behind me now and I am as good as new but without tags, for all the e bay buds out there. Gonna see Primus, Carl Palmer, and Furthur since the boys are in production, HOPEFULLY. Clockwork Angels...bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid_Gloves Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Definately don't give up! When I met Tarkus406, over 3 years ago, I was engaged to someone else. Never in a million years thought we would end up together...but its strange how things work out. Now we live together and things are great. Here is a tip...Go to as many Rush meet-ups as you can. That is how I met Derek (Tarkus). We met at the Toronto show in '08. I live in Kentucky and he lived in Connecticut at the time, so otherwise we wouldn't have met.
