What is the crowd's opinion of Plenty of Fish (POF)?

From 3.5 billion comments

A couple of years ago I went out on a date with someone I met off of Plenty of Fish. We agreed to meet up for a drink at Chili's one night and things went well enough so we decided to walk over to the movie theater and see what was playing. She was really, really cute and the date was going pretty well. I was definitely into her.

About 30 minutes into the movie her phone rang and she actually answered it. I've never seen anyone do that before and she ended up having a heated conversation with whoever was on the other end. She was actually yelling at the person. People kept turning around to look at us and yelling for her to shut up but, wanting to see where things went, I decided my best play was to stay silent. After about two or three minutes I leaned over and asked if she wanted to take the call outside and she completely flipped out on me. She made a HUGE scene in the theater, cursing me out, where people were literally standing up to see what was going on, then stormed off. Someone from the theater showed up a couple of minutes after she left to see what was going on.

For the life of me I can't remember what the movie was but I figured I paid for two tickets so I might as well stay and watch. About 15 minutes later she came back, sat down next to me, put her head on my shoulder, and watched the rest of the movie.

I walked her back to the car when the movie ended and said goodnight. She went in for a kiss but I opted for an ass-out-hug instead. Later that night she texted me saying what a good time she had and she hopes we go out again soon. I responded back by basically asking her what made her think the date went well then she cursed me out, again, over texts.

As an A1C, let me give you the best advice I can.

if you are not 100% committed to marrying your girlfriend for reasons OTHER than a PCS/BAH, DO NOT DO IT!

I have struggled with relationship issues from getting married too early. My wife and I have gotten past it, but man, have we had some rough spots, one which got me locked in a mental hospital for 2 days.

You do have several options:

• Marry her and have her PCS with you.
• Have her move to Langley with you on her own, and take up schooling, find a cheap apartment, etc... until you are ready to commit fully.
• Have a long distance relationship until you are both very, very certain marriage is the right thing for you. Divorce is very ugly and you don't want to have to deal with that. It not only affects you, but your work center too.
• split up, there are Plenty of Fish in the sea.

Marriage is a huge commitment, even with a justice of the peace marriage. Please give this the consideration it deserves.

But to answer your questions:

Check out the base education center for more information on colleges in the area: http://new.jbleforcesupport.com/langley-education-center/ or search for colleges in the area with the programs she is interested in.

For medical, as long as her PCM were to give her the appropriate referral, Tricare will pay for most things (except cosmetic, i.e. breast implants, tummy tuck; and they also will not cover IVF, FYI)

PlentyOfFish seems to be better for the older crowd. It's not as pretty, and doesn't have the bells and whistles that OKC has, but I think it eliminates all the non-serious people on OKC who are just there for the quizzes and crap.
