Disdates

When I first started being on the Disboards on a regular basis, I ventured in the adult and solo travelers section. There are a lot of threads there (some a bit of a duplication of the another) but the people there were welcoming and invited me to join them in for chat on Dismates.


Now, Dismates is gone, and has been for about a year. There was another chat forum that a friend created, but never had the bells and whistles we loved in chat. Chat can help increase the chance of meeting that prince, pirate or princess that one may be looking for. Well, DisneyDadNY has recreated Dismates in the form of Disdates.com! It really looks the same, with a different but nicer chat forum. He is still working on the bugs and kinks, but it looks good.

I recommend it for anyone who loves Disney and wants to meet someone who shares in that love. I also recommend that if you do sign up, fill out your profile, check the settings so you don't get emails you don't want for when someone winks or adds you to their buddy list IF you do not want these emails. You don't need to do it all in one sitting, but go through each section and modify it to fit your needs in your profile etc. I have to admit, I haven't updated my profile other than to say, I am looking for friends who love Disney (but there is a reason for that & <3 I'm spoken for). I have seen a couple friends on there already... I recognize their IDs. They just need to finish the rest to meet the needs of why they are there.

Now, there are people who will say the singles threads are not there for meeting your mate... or that chat wasn't it either. I hate to tell them that they are so wrong! I know of 5 couples right off who met there... and yes, there were some who dated others, that didn't work out... and then there are some just looking to get some. I was told that the ones who think they are going to get a guy because they sleep with them are a bit mistaken (not the exact words a guy told me) but if I used the exact word, it would be obvious who was involved. Also, it's easy to lose the respect of others for being the easy girl (or guy!). I know many of us could tell you who the players were (or trolls) of the original chat.
