Hi all,

I have been with CC since the beginning of December last year. I can't say for sure what are the intentions off having CC around on the Lowyat forum but i can only perceive it to be a place for individuals to:
a) gather and learn a little bit about the joys and pains of being in love.
b) for singles to maybe find their perfect partners
c) to make great friends

Now I have to admit my intentions are to meet new people on CC and get to know more about them and maybe if im lucky, finding the perfect partner and if not, just making great friends in the process.

The thing is, I find this a tad difficult to do as people here are not what they seem and it's even harder with everyone being online. Now being online gives a certain degree of anonymity for an individual and that's understandable, but sometimes people just abuse this anonymity to be downride offensive and just plain rude and also somewat misleading.
Now some of u are going to disagree to wat i am saying but i feel i have to get my message across. This is not to offend anyone but to shine some light as to what somethings are taken for granted and a certain degree of maturity and self-control has to be exercise to keep the integrity of CC. After all, this IS Cupid's Corner and not Joke's Corner or Playa's Corner.

Anyways, I tot maybe to make things a bit more interesting here in CC and more inline to the presumed intentions of CC, that we have some kind of Online Speed Dating Initiative. Basically this initiative is to :
i) Help break the ice.
ii) Help shy ppl to be more comfortable and confident in conversing with the opposite sex.
iii) Help to make new friends.
iv) To have fun.
A little pet project for CC? Everyone and anyone is welcome to participate. Hope to get some constructive suggestions. Thanks.

Too many fake females aka tarp

I do meet a few nice people through LYN tho.

Hmmm...I would think dat the speed dating thing would maybe help in identifying the fakes with the genuine?

That will be hard and the genuine ones are mostly attached.

Please say something positive

It isn't so much as being attached or not as to making new frens in da process. I mean seriously, even if attached dun mean one cant have fun and make new frens...but then that is the discretion of the attached...if their partners can't take it or tend be jealous there is alwiz the role of mediator . Anyways, is all in good fun the speed dating thing.

how about helping single setting blind date for valentine day? just submit some personal info and they will be arrange on a blind date.

good and bad, you will be setting him up for a tarp.

i think the best way of actually settings a blind date is to have the initiator to call both parties before setting them up.....i think that should minimize the traps etc.....

well, depends on luck lo...

yupe~ get their number and pass to their blind date partner, let them call each other and choose their location to date.

Dun think that it should be passed on to the partners to arrange but the initiator..or the "introducer" should do the honors..if not this would not be called a blind date now would it ...moreover then the other party may know their number and start harassing them 24/7.....

this plan will phail..

that why, i alwiz intro myself to gal

Hie, name saye Vey

sure will have more guys more than gals...

zz scary la~ many guys here so hamsap..

is a good idea but when and how u wan to do leh???

*a beach party for CC yeah*

i am more scare of u.

tarp!

Later become sosej gaythering.

hye vey

Well the thing with normal gathering is, even though the individual is present, they may neve get a chance to introduce themselves or talk about themselves as much as another person.
A speed date gives everyone equal opportunity to intro themselves. Here is how things work. u are given a list of the people of the opposite sex. A line is formed corresponding to the names on the list. each one is given 2-3 minutes each to talk about themselves afterwhich they move down the line. Once everyone has gotten a chance to share, they will tick names on the list of whom they might be attracted to. this list will be compared with everyone else of the opposite sex. If the feeling is mutual, u get phone numbers so u may continue to pursue that relationship. Simple as that. Fair and safe.

yeah but gathering not regulated like speed dating. In gatherings u will see some ppl standing in one corner not wanting to socialize or only socialize with a certain group of ppl.
With speed dating this gives equal opportunity to everyone to converse and share a little about themselves.
Actually, if all think there might be a better way of doing this, can share here.

which guys dun ham sup?

good topic.... i open new thread of this la....

swing which way first? by the way how u know guys are ham sup?

Suiteng

lolz.. good luck.. shall get many response

lolz.. hw i know la? that one is up to ur preferences la..
um.. if guys not hamsup, y do u think movies with scantily-clad girls even with lousy story line...
...also can go blockbuster status?

maybe have another reason behind that.......

I think the difference is to hamsup with style or hamsup without style.
Hamsup is one thing la, but there is oso hamsup while showing respect for the opposite sex.

Really guy outnumber girls? Tot the malaysian girl guy ratio is in favor for the guys 2:1 or something like that.

huh?
where do you get this info from?
the latest result shows Malaysia's girl guy ratio is 2:1? Serious?



i'm sad............

I heard from somewhere. But i think it's true seeing as to the number of baby girls born outweighs that of baby boys. Will guys soon be extinct and the human race becomes asexual?

Why sad?

If guys extinct then there would not be so much fun now wouldnt it........(if you know what i mean...)

CC was originally created for ppl who have questions about their love life and would like help... not a place for anyone to hook up (as it has become now).

So basically my presumption of CC is wrong then. My mistake.

Cupid's Corner (61 Active Users)
All questions on Love & Relationship. Share your problems and someone might be able to help (knock some sense into) you.

Even so, dun mean we can't have fun planning a speed dating event...if anyone is interested. .

sosej gaythering....mmmmmm.....

pure tarp!

it's because i get along better with male friends
i don't have much female friends to be honest
my female friends to guy friends is 3:7

female friends are too "small gas" and sentimental, sentimental for certain purpose is ok but somehow they sentimental for nothing, i'm a gal though yet hardly get to know what they actually think and what they really want... you get what i mean?

i'm sad sad sad......no friends anymore.......

Your like my female friend who prefer get along with guy friends then gal friends. Same excuse about female friend being "small gas".

"small gas" as in fa pi qi? Maybe they really duno wat they want ? What say u no frens le? Guy fren is still fren wat...wahahahahahaha.

There are already so many gatherings just go join those.

ya....
so you got what i mean....

Added on January 13, 2009, 8:22 amit's not they don't know what they want
it's they are easily jealous, sometimes self-fish.... they are just too sentimental, they hope what they expected or dreamed could happen in reality, in fact reality is always reality, you get what i mean? Well...

I like sporting and easy-going gal

yes guy friends are still my friends, just guy friends will become lesser as you said the ratio gal to guy in malaysia is getting 2:1

LOL
hi name saye Dan.

HHhmmm....i think the "Be my date" thread already serve the purpose edi...

but too much spamming overthere

Hmm that should be long enough to know that all threads in CC like this will fail with no exception.

hihi~
nama saya yen yen

If a normal guys not hamsapm so the highest possibility for that male be a "GAY" is 100%.

maybe 80%
maybe half half....

speed dating sounds a bit extreme here.. coz ppl usually think it's for the despos..lol.. maybe u could put it in a diff way - gathering

Well could call it a gathering. But there is a difference between a gathering and a speed date. With gatherings, there will alwiz be the heavy talkers and light talkers. and it will alwiz be one sided coz usually light talkers will huddle in the corner and not try to break the ice. With speed dating, conversations for all are regulated so everyone has a fair chance to get to know one another.

I think at this day and age, people tend to be so bz with their professional lives that its hard to find a life partner and even so a partner which is the one for u. It's all abt probability. How many events u have been to, the number of people u've met, the number of ppl whom u find attractive, the number of ppl whom feels the same way, the number of ppl who would go on a date, the number of ppl who would like to continue dating u...it goes on. with each level, the number goes down, and at the end of it all, will the number be 1 or 0?

I think its a normal thing for people to try and maximise this probability by meeting more people and getting to know them better. Becoz in the end, we are all trying to find that spark with dat special someone and how do we do this if we dun even try.

Of course, im not asking people to multitask and date 10 ppl at one go. 2 is already bad. Like i said before, its a journey not a destination so make it a pleasant one.

How is it start?? I really dont understand what is speed date leh. ohhh , i know what is that but how?

used2bcow,

Firstly, you need to have lots of candidates whom are single... and a right mixture of gender & age for the meet up
Secondly, you would need to have a eatery/pub/area for the meet up...or you can organize an outing adventure
Third, you need to have a game plan to break the ice
The rest, you can leave to the participant's chemistry already...

The obstacle you need to overcome are getting rid of:
- player
- married person (male & female)

Good Luck

eh i heard mix fm has this dating event going on, that one better right, save you the hassle of organizing one

its fly fm and they're offering nadia up for dating

but have to call and talk with the DJs. malas

might as well show up at the curve and crash the whole thing xD

oh! so the crew will be at the curve on saturday ah? i tried to look for it on their website but couldn't find anything -__- are you going???

actually i can't stand nadia's voice in the morning... very pitchy "

I love how you think pretending to be a dumb girl is fun.
