One of the purposes of this website is to illuminate and inspire; to gather, nurture and hearten.

We do this with really spot on articles and discussion boards. The discussion boards on the site are designed to create community. We also see how various approaches can support and assist: the law of attraction, Eastern, Western Spirituality
and good old Psychology. There are some wonderful articles that are here for you that can give you insight and ideas to help you find wisdom and courage.

We are a dating and support website.

So there is the Connection Section of the site where you can search for other like minded singles. And there is a boatload of support for you here after you login. There is a Community section where members offer experience, strength and hope to each other on Discussion Boards. There are inspiring quotes and good words, blessings to be had and professional coaching/counseling available in the Support Section. And there are some really wonderful articles on how to be better at being conscious and being single in the Articles section. All available for free and after you login.

This being on an online singles site is hard and scary, should I be doing this?

As a conscious single you owe it to yourself to take intentional, proactive steps towards your life's enrichment. Becoming connected with others, friends or life partners, is an innate need. It is important to be comfortable with yourself and being single, but it is also important to strive for depth in relationship. Part of the conscious strategy is to balance the attachment to the outcome. There is a balance between giving up and no longer trying to connect with others, and being compulsive and overly impatient in degree. Finding the right Singles Zen is what we call it.
The bottom line is to be intelligently proactive. And we at Conscious Singles believe that we are an intelligent choice.

And it has been safe to meet others this way. This is a much safer world than the media would have us believe-- but there is also a lot of unkindness and unsafe behavior out there. Be mindful and trust your intuitions about meeting someone for the first time. And be conscious.

The main thing i believe is the need for you to just DO IT!

What is more important thing to be devoting time persistence, patience, courage to.

The task is to be semi fearless and warrior like in joining and graceful and perhaps passionate for making this community of conscious folk something significant.

 

I am concerned with the safety of Internet dating. What tips do you have for dating and meeting safety?

A: Conscious Singles offers like minded singles an alternate way to meet and socialize. When you are corresponding through e-mail or meeting members off-line, please use sound judgment and responsible conduct both online and off. As in the traditional dating arena, common sense and awareness are your best safety tools. We truly want your experience with us to be safe and fun!

Things to Watch For: Watch for language and statements that sound evasive. Pay attention to choppy sentences and stories where appropriate detail as been omitted. Simple lies and deceptions are the easiest to rehearse and keep undetected. Be relatively conservative and trust your instincts. If it feels suspicious or uncomfortable - move on!

Keep Your Anonymity: Never include personal information in your profile or initial emails that could help someone to locate or identify you. Your last name, real e-mail address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information should be kept private until you are completely comfortable with someone. Be cautious and selective. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it.

Never Feel Pressured to Meet Anyone In Person: One advantage of getting to know someone online is that you can gradually screen information and then make a choice about pursuing the relationship. You are NEVER obligated to meet anyone, regardless of your level of online intimacy. And you always have the right to change your mind even if you do decide to arrange a meeting. Again, trust your instincts!

If You Decide To Meet: You can never be absolutely certain about the background, motives or behavior of someone you've agreed to meet. Always go with more caution, not less. Never agree to meet someone if you feel at all uncomfortable or afraid. When you decide to meet someone, proceed carefully. Always make sure a friend or family member knows about your meeting - where and when. Make arrangements to check in with them on your return. Meet in a public place at a time when you expect many other people to be present. Avoid isolated or remote places such as drives in the country or hikes through the woods until you are completely comfortable with someone. Take your own car for the first few meetings and do not ride with the other person. Make sure you end the meeting while there are still other people present. If you are asked about getting together again, answer honestly. It's OK to decline further meetings.

Be Aware and Know What To Do If You Sense Danger: Even unhealthy or dangerous people often display exemplary behavior. Behavior is unpredictable and there are never guarantees, but there are some warning signs. Any displays of anger, intense frustration or attempts at pressuring or controlling you could be signs of a potential problem. Making insulting or disrespectful comments or any physically inappropriate behavior are alerts. If in any way you become uncomfortable or afraid, use your best judgment to diffuse the situation and get out of there. If necessary, excuse yourself and ask someone else on the scene for help, or slip out the back door and drive away. If necessary call the police. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Never worry or feel embarrassed about your behavior to keep yourself safe.

What is the * Bimodal thing about your membership?

Because the site has been around for a long time there are members who still have working emails that are really old and have not been on the site for a long long time. But they seem to have valid email addresses and hence we keep them on the site.
And there are newer members. So we are two humped.
