I know that the topic of an ADD dating site came up in another thread. A member of some ADD groups that I belong to is planning on starting an ADD dating site in the near future. I don't have details but I will let you all know more when I hear more about it.

COOL:) Thanks for announcing this....

Hi ALL!

Im the one from the other ADD site planning the ADD dating site. Its in the works, and I hope that alot of people are interested. Its A TON of work, I have 1 programmer, and am trying to recruit another to get this site up and running. Its gonna be somewhat like match.com and the like.

Im a single girl 28, and thought if I have these problems meeting people, my fellow Adders do to. I will let everyone know when its close. Thanks for posting this !!

Thanks tami612 for all the hard work you're putting in -- in getting this set up...I know a lot of people will appreciate this....both from Forums and from other ADD groups....We will look forward to seeing its grand opening:)

If anyone could please give me any thoughs on what you want out of a dating-friend site, things you want to see, things that are important to you, anything that you can think of that might me useful for us while the site is being created.


THANKS!!!
Tammy

Well, I would say that it has to be monitored and moderated very well....and no personal phone numbers given out at all....unless two people who might meet on the service agree to it.....Perhaps have a chat room along with it.....Definitely a place to post your picture....people like to see what people look like!:) No last names used at all....Have it be reaonably priced.....and at the same time Tami I realize this must be costing you money....anyone else have input, ideas and suggestions????

First of all, THIS IS A GREAT THING, Tami!!

I think each person should maybe specify their ADD type, Hyperactive or Inattentive or whatever. I don't know if this should be listed under their screen name or on their profile.

Gender should also be indicated near screen name because you can't always tell by the name.

Good point and I think age should be under screen name as well....

Anyone heard anything as to how this is progressing???

I'm not single, but here's my 2 cents... it's great to say all this information should be available on people, but wouldn't it be better to make it optional? A lot of people aren't comfortable leaving all their biography out there for John (or Jane) Q. Public to root through.

Ultimately Paul.....as soon as this thing gets started.....the information people choose to provide about themselves.....will be optional.....and monitored as well.......for appropriateness.....

Yes agree with you.....a lot of people aren't comfortable leaving certain facts about themselves....and they won't have to.....:)
Good point.....

wow this is a good idea!if i could find someone who knows what i have had to deal with all my life it would take away all of the pressure (ie low self esteem ect).my suggestion would be when this finally set up is to have a geographical area so you could find someone close.they say long distance relationships dont work:mad: .possibly a tri-state area section and so on.i would love something like this:D

One warning to you all, from experience:

If you think living in a house run by one ADDult is disorganized, wait until you have two of them interfering with each other... :D :D :D

Grin try living in a house with One confirmed ADDer (me)

and one linear thinker (bank managment career) who for the longest time didn't understand ADD

She does somwhat now (whew)

Paul, you have to admit, it takes an ADDer to understand an ADDer! I know from my own experience too that three hyperactive individuals can make life hectic for the inattentive one :D

HI ALL the site is still under construction. Its really alot more work that I ever anticiapted. It will have several different things on the site, dating, friends-chat, message boards, maybe a joke section, more like an online community. Im very excited.

Sounds great Tami612....thanks for reporting in and staying in touch with us:)

Hey Joan? Just wanted you to know that post you said I could do telling about myself? I have so many new friends because of that! Thank you sooo much! I mean it! You are a great date site :D

Thanks Kassie....that's very nice!!!

My brother, sister and I were all in a production of Fiddler on the Roof when we were quite young. I guess I must have learned something from the girl who played "Yenta the Matchmaker":D

Too funny....I played "Tevya"....lol

Oh I love that movie! I love the music and the people!!

I still mumble the words to one of the songs...

"If I was a rich man..."

i was just wondering how this is going,need to meet someone who can understand my situation.will check back for updates.

THis is still in process- im soooo sorry this is taking so long. Its hard to get other people to get their parts done. Seeing that this is created by ADD'rs its a tough job. You can email me any time for updates, or any suggestions you may have. I totally would apreciate it!!!



Tammy

I would definitely sign up for that site.

Hi Tami!
It would be wonderful just to have a place to go to to indentify others like you in your own little corner of the world that you can talk to and feel at home with. Zany times/ romance a bonus, of course!
Thanks so much for all your efforts!

just wondering how everything is going along?

Awesome...the trouble with me about relationships before was i was always dating norms....now i think I am better off dating someone with ADHD or even Bipolar...at least we can understand each other better. This is a great Idea!!!!!

i was thinking (imagine that) this may be harder to orginize than we think being that this disorder only affect 3% of the population:confused:

any updates????

Is there an ADD dating website, or is it still in the works?

I haven't heard about it in a long time...

I did my own research on this because I really only get along with other ADDers in close relationships. There are some PHP dating site modules that can be purchased... they are a bit spendy at 500 dollars but could be paid for by registration quickly.

All my dates with non-ADD women have failed. They construe my openness as an attempt to get in their pants and my humor as odd, they can't follow my topic shifting and they think it is odd that I want to invite them back to my place to color with crayons :) Geeze maybe I am even too odd for ADD women :(

So hurry up! ;-)

Boy these posts are so old...I need to take this on, lol!

Maybe we should just suggest a match-up section on the forums? It could support the forum financially speaking and maybe see some of the nice people in the singles thread hook up.

They won't color with you? What a shame. That sounds like the perfect date. You need to find someone with the same high standards of entertainment as yourself. No, I'm not being sarcastic, just in case my sincerity was lost in translation.

See THAT is what I like about ADDers! They will come back and color and laugh... there does not NEED to be more than that. It is the perfect date! I swear, when I arrange play dates for my kids, I am so envious, lol!

That is what we need..."play dates". Love springs from the stuff without expectation so much better!

Oh yeah, A dating forum would be cool... although most people on here seem to be from the midwest...very few Oregonians here...sigh

I can imagine that long distance dating is a challenge, but...

maybe an ADD dating forum would attract more members.
