Hello All!

So I was just pondering how we could possible get a singles dating link going on this site.

I know there must be a least some single people out there, and I am one of them! I would love for there to be a way to meet and or possible date other Firefly fans, because I gotta tell you, the pickings are SLIM where I am!

If any one has any thoughts as to how we could do this, or already knows of an exclusive Firefly dating site...let me know.

Love and Kisses, the very single

I started a "Firefly Singles" thread awhile back, and there was one started before that, too. I think it's a good idea, but it's hard to keep them from dropping into oblivion. Sad thing is we seem to be fairly evenly spaced out, I don't know that anyone has had any actual success with either thread. Sad me.

Sounds lovely though!

Well, it's good to know there is interest in doing something like this, but I was actually thinking of more then a thread, maybe a place on this site where we could post profiles (specificly for dating, not just our member profiles) and what not, but maybe that is too big, or not possible, I don't know, I just thought it would be cool!

Having tried the internet dating thing a few times, I can say it would be nice to have at least one guaranteed interest in common (namely FF). You really can never be sure up front, no matter what someone's profile says. For example, "I love movies" in both profiles falls apart when it turns out that they like radically different kinds of movies.

I just never had good luck meeting compatible women via that method. Plenty of nice women, no one to complain about, but with one extremely bizarre exception no real connection with anyone.

I totally agree with you! I have also had terrible luck with on-line dating, it seems like I always end up with total losers that have nothing in common and just want to "get dirty" *EECK*

It would be great to meet people with a guarenteed interest such as Firefly!

Yeah, and I have met some great and possibly dateable people here. They all live quite a ways away, though. I think the closest is 700 miles away
Actual dating sites annoy me, which is why I refuse to pay for them. The free ones are annoying enough. And yeah, it seems like the geys on them aren't too... "picky". Eurgh.
I mean, I like getting dirty and everything, but Lord and Lady, can I know more than your name first? Like a lot more? Boo on them all.

Took way longer than any other dating site I'd ever tried. After all that, answering as accurately and honestly as possible, delving into very deep and personal areas, the site told me, "Sorry, but we won't be able to find a match for you."

Apparently they're unable to match something like 20% of people who do the profile. No explanation, just "Nope, you're not matchable." I even emailed their customer service about it and got no more explanation than "we aren't able to find matches for some people."

Left me feeling just great about me.

not strictly anything to do with the topic, but people are being dreadfully low and self-deprecating, and i thought they might need a giggle.

was just doing the laundry, went to shake out one of my tops, found out belatedly that one of the sleeves had tied itself into a knot, which proceeded to skelp me in the nackers.

laundry is too dangerous to be mans work!

EMMARIGBY

Saturday, July 22, 2006 4:36 PM

How exactly are nackers skelped? I feel this is a life skill I should aquire for when men annoy me!

Ah hell, with that little glimpse into the dark place of my soul I have probably ruined my chances of ever finding a mate on here.

Lol, but alas, I doubt anyone is in Silicon Valley, and I'm pretty sure all but about three people on this site are an average of about 5 years too old for me.

Well, it wasnt literally "you're not matchable," just words to that effect. Not joking, and it sure wasn't funny at the time.

The only thing I could think of was that the founder of eHarmony (the guy in the commercials - don't recall his name) is a fundamentalist Christian, so maybe, being the essentially the opposite of that, I answered some questions in a manner he wouldn't take to. That might not be it, but I couldn't come up with anything else. They sure weren't forthcoming about it, which makes me wonder what they have to hide.

It was disheartening at the time, but of course you're right.

That makes for more BOO on eHarmony, too, since they apparently can't find any way extraordinary women outside of the common rabble (or don't think there are any), when we all certainly know better.

Don't know of any other browncoats in the area, though there must be, seeing as we're the third largest metropolitan area in PA.

Age doesn't mean anything to me, compatibility does. Of course, age largely correlates to compatibility, but doesn't determine it.

Well, you know what we have to do in that event, we have to convert everybody in those intervening 50 miles so that we 'Coats ain't so far apart!!

I, too, have posted in the last couple of singles threads hereabouts. I think it's a neat idea, the only trouble is that when my backside lights up, the only answering light-ups come from 3,000 miles distant.* Still, Firefly is a great icebreaker and I'd like to keep trying - especially if 'Coats of the feminine persuasion happen to be as obsessed with it as I am.

Okay, trying not to sound too desperate, but:

I'm a 27 year underutilised Inara type (in enthusiasm if not quite in looks!) with Zoe's taste in hobbies and Kaylee's disposition. I'm looking for anyone, male or female, young or old to meet up with and talk about Serenity (plus maybe more if you're interested). I honestly don't have a type. It would just be good to find a friend to hang out with. Preferably in the UK, in the Midlands (see, I bet that's narrowed it down. You guys are just so spread out!).

Just a note to anyone that was kicked back by eHarmony, it's because the answers you gave to the questions catagorized you as a 'non-marrying type', I believe in the sense that they think you don't want to get married. So don't take it so hard . And in the spirit of fun:

25 yr old Mal type (always looked to as the 'leader' of my group) with a Jayne complex in New Berlin, WI (suburb of Milwaukee). Looking for anyone that shares my interest in FF and Serenity (and all things Joss for that matter). Not really looking for anything serious, but should I find the right lady, who knows?

I was actually born right here in 'New Melbourne', Australia but did live in the town of my father's birth - as previously mentioned - and have heaps of family and friends there... not sure if any of them are browncoats though I suspect one or two fo them are candidates...

I also had to move in with my parents (financial following 'serious illness' but find I get enough house-sitting jobs that I rarely reside there!

Though i dont think it will be much for me cause there are still not that many Firefly fans in Germany

I lived in Germany for a short period (working for the British Military) and liked living their a lot, is that close enough?

Actually there is plenty of browncoats from Germany around here, wether their within a reasonable distance is another matter entirely.

yeah thats what I actually meant ... the distance ... we have about 200 of us on a german board but most of them arent very active...so its a core group of maybe like 30? Some of them are here on FFnet, too.

I wish they would finally show it on TV here, but well we have to wait...

Well we haven't got it on UK TV yet either, (SCI-FI channel on cable though so...) the closest UK'er to me is around the M25 (biggest car park in the world) from me, where abouts in Germany do you hail from?

I`m from Neuss which is near Dusseldorf and Cologne.
Honestly I´m glad we even got the film in cinema. Though the voice over actors where chosen pretty badly. The translation was ok though cause some browncoats got to help.

I like the idea of this thread. But Firelfy fans come from such a random set of people that I think is what makes it hard to find people close together. It appeals to everyone, whoever had the idea about converting the people in the 50 miles between browncoats into browncoats had the right idea

For the fun of it: 15 year old Kaylee type (Zoe when I'm mad). Looking for Jayne type with big guns and a large bunk (just kidding, actually looking for a Wash type, with Jayne's looks) for a decent relationship so I don't have to be one of the lonely 75% that I currently reside in.

I lived in Germany for two years serving with the US Army. I was stationed in Darmstadt, about 15minutes south of Frankfurt. I loved it there, me and a couple of my troops would go to Cologne on our 4 day weekends. It was great. I was one of only 2 Firefly fans I knew of in the whole country, the other one being my roomate.

Malayna, dont worry about thread jacking, it dont matter too much. Anyhoo, I live in the south bay between San Jose and San Fran. In ireland for the week, but thats usual. How bout you? I too am in the position of all the browncaots i know being folk I converted myself, or on rare occassions folk my converted folk converted. Oh, and one or two who saw the movie actually. (One time someone jokingly did an operative nerve attack thing on me, I turned around and went "You saw Serenity!". best thing ever.)

Okay, commence hijacking then!

Whitefall, you can call me Faith (as can everyone else) And I'm 20, btw ("age ain't nothing but a number"). I go to Santa Clara Uni. We have a pretty campus ^_^ How are you getting through the heat this week? Yikes! I'm glad I have work tomorrow because it'll have AC, whoo. As far as Serenifly, I kept hearing a buzz about it for so long and finally decided to rent Firefly on Netflix. And, I was hooked since April! I've converted my friends and now am starting on coworkers.

Wow, you're in Ireland right now? Business or pleasure?

Malayna, oh how she dreams...a beautiful dream in which we are all apart of. But in this world, my name is simply Faith. We're family here, call me by name! ^_^

I'm new here, but thought I would post anyways. I would be really surprised if anyone here is in my neck of the woods.

23 year old quasi Simon-type currently living in Osaka, Japan. I'm doing an internship here, so I'm still a student (University of Wisconsin-Madison). I'd love to find someone Kaylee-like, but I have an open mind. Aside from firefly, my interests include motorcycles, camping, cooking/baking, movies/anime and hanging out with friends.

I did try yahoo personals twice and have had mostly positive results. I met one friend and ended up dating two girls I met through the site. I didn't date the first one for very long (we just weren't compatible) and would still be dating the second if it wasn't for the whole living-in-Japan thing. Granted, there are some creepy people on there but there are good people, too. Just start conversations using an email that you don't care about in case they do end up being creepy.
