And a great achievement for the site dearcupid.org.Poster called CMMP has penned an answer and it is answer number 1200000. Yes that is one million and two hundred thousand answers.CMMP would not have realized the significance when that answer was penned. But it is an achievement that I knew was close.So now the next achievement I am looking forward to is question number 300,000. This is a goal that is going to take a lot more work. So far the site is very close to 290,000 questions but I think 300,000 sounds a really impressive achievement.What month in the coming year will the 300,000 goal be reached? Every question is unique. Every situation has some key individual points that represent all the variables that affect that person.Tux has some Superb advice - http://www.dearcupid.org/question/how-to-give-better-advice.html - great for Advice givers Author: Tux and the next article is now to get Good Advice http://www.dearcupid.org/question/how-to-get-good-advice.html Author: Tux Some people write really good articles and give really good advice.

That’s when I decided to read the following quoted from the site dearcupid.org:“DearCupid posting guidelinesDearCupid aims to provide a safe community for people to seek insight and resolution to their life problems.

Abella is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI have a new question to look out for. It will be the Question that becomes Question number 320,000 or just over that.
It's a goal that's getting closer too - DearCupid has now exceeded 318,000 questions published.
It can take great courage to ask a question that is on your mind. And once you do there are Uncles and Aunts all around the world 24/7 who are very eager to answer your question, and bring new consideration and perspectives to your attention.
DearCupid.org is like a giant village, filled with good wise people of all ages. Uncles and Aunts. A village that 's busy 24/7 and ready to read your question and provide you with answers.
The weather doesn't stop us being available to help.
Traffic james don't stop us being available to help.
it's 3am or 3pm where you are or 10am or 10pm - none of those things stop us from being able to help.
A bus strike or a snowed in airport doesn't stop DearCupid.org from being open and ready to read your question and maybe answer your question if an Aunt or Uncle thinks their advice might be able to help you.
A BIG thank you to all the Question askers and a BIG thank you to all the Question answerers - Aunts and Uncles - you all contribute to make this a fantastic site

Abella is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThree Hundred Thousand Questions Asked.
Yes yes yes yes!
The Milestone has happened! Yes, this week question number 300,000 was asked. The question was anonymous. But I will post on the question just so that the poster knows they were part of this major achievement on DearCupid.org.
Wouldn't it be lovely if the page could be filled with 300,000 stars when such a milestone was asked.
Oh wait a moment.... This site is already filled with stars - those Stars are all the people who ask or have ever asked the questions and/or answer the questions, and /or read the answers and read the questions. Please take a bow, all of you.
Because everyone, from the Great Guy who created this site to the Newest member of DearCupid.org ALL make this site so much fun and so useful to others.

Abella is verified as being by the original poster of the questionAnd now the very same week DearCupid has gone past 290,000 questions asked on DearCupid. That's much faster than I expected. Though it was anonymous so congratulations to a particular question asker aren't possible.
But there is still that elusive question number 300,000. A target to reach in the coming year.
Will it be your question?
And in what month will this goal be reached?
So keep on writing in those questions. They are all truly unique. And any relationship issue that is important to you is worth posting on this great site.
And the collective wisdom on this site is huge.
With Great Uncles and Aunts motivated and willing to answer questions for you on this site,
So keep on posting your great questions because there are people on this site who are looking forward to answering YOUR questions
