Online dating?? Would it be desperate......I live in atlanta?
My co-worker thinks I should try this. I never have, im a 25 year old female living in ATL. My last relationship was about 8 months ago. I am nervous to do this....I guess I feel i will look desperate. But she says its only an alternative. What is your experience with online dating? And were you nervous to do it???
Online dating?? Would it be desperate......I live in atlanta?
my experience with online dating has been nothing but great and i would recommend it in a heart beat. i have met great people online some of which i am still friends with. my current boyfriend i met through a friend that i met online. its a great network of people. and no its not desperate at all. what makes meeting people at bars, clubs, work, or through mutual friends, etc...ok and online desperate.
have fun and good luck!
Reply:i dont think online dating is the right place to go...
and you can pretty much not find anyone for you on there...
i no cause my dad uses 4 dating websites...
and all the women hes talked to on there were crazy...
my dad has started calling himself a looser magnet!
Reply:I feel that online dating is somewhat desperate-it reminds me of a blind date.
Although I have not used the internet to find someone, my fiance has(in the past)-it's ironic that he found love meeting me in person.
-If you don't have to, why do it? You've got time to find that special someone.Good luck!
Reply:If it works, does it matter if it's online? It doesn't mean you're desparate, it just means you want to look for new people. Just look. No one has to know, and who knows? maybe it will work!
Reply:There are so many ways to connect without seeing eachother face to face. Email, IM, messaging, phone... The thing is, if you can still love eachother without personally knowing eachother, once you do meet it will be a breathtaking experience.
all my experiences have been good.
Reply:No, it would definately not be desperate. I moved overseas and knew NOONE so the easiest thing for me to do was try online dating. To be honest, not really had any fantastic datesbut LOOADS of people I know have and sometime its worked and sometimes it hasnt. We live in cash rich time poor society where its not so easy to meet people hence the explosion in online dating. Try it and you might meet someone amazing, even if you have to wade through a few bad dates to meet them. I have adopted the rather disgusting philosophy of"Throw enough $hit at a wall and some of its bound to stick". Feel free to adopt it also.
Reply:go for it and good luck
Reply:holla at your boy!(man)
Reply:met my girlfriend on match.com about a month ago and i havent regreted since
Reply:I married a man I met online... we have been together almost 3 years now and have a 6month old son. I didn't pay for a dating site, we met on facethejury.com totally by accident. Make sure you always meet someone from the internet with 1) Lots of friends with you, and/or 2) in a very public area.. I met my husband in a mall. I trust, but not THAT much
Reply:I have met a couple of really cool people online actually. I tried it out middle of June. It depends on which site you go on. It doesn't mean your desperate, sometimes its hard to meet people. Maybe when you are less nervous you should try it out. I understand your fears but maybe you're just not ready. I was nervous a little but you don't have to rush and meet these people. Do the e mail, then phone and if you are still vibing meet in a well lit public place..
Reply:It's the 21st century, it's how people meet nowdays.
Not a big thing.
It's no different from meeting someone in a bar, online is just an introduction, the rest is up to you.

Online Dating Service Question- Help From The Guys, Please.?
I am on an online dating service where either the guy or the girl, after they have read each others profile, can begin communicating by asking the first questions. It seems to me that the guys don't respond much if I start the communication process first. My question is do you prefer the girl initiating the communication or would you rather that you did?
Online Dating Service Question- Help From The Guys, Please.?
Are you kidding? It was much easier if they started it. Then I could at least have some assurance that I wasn't talking into the black hole of cyberspace. Because when you initiate contact, you do that a lot, and it's very discouraging at times.
As a note of encouragement, btw ... about 2 years ago I met a woman online. (I actually sent the first e-mail.) We're getting married in 13 days. :-)
Reply:Personally i think it would be nice for a lady to contact me first, i get tired of reaching out and not getting a response back
Reply:I prefer the girl initiate the communication so I don't waste my time. I think girls get more answers than guys and I think sometimes guys are just wasting their time.

Should I try online dating?
I've heard a lot of things about lavalife and plenty of fish for online dating. I have heard some good stories, but more bad stories. What kind of people are on there? I am 20 years old, but looking for a more mature sensitive 25 yr old type so i just know it's hard to find find.. I would not be interested in online dating if it's a bunch of wierdos, thugs, perferts! Should I even try?
Should I try online dating?
Dating online is just about the same as dating offline. When you meet somebody in a club, or anywhere you know nothing about them, only what they tell you. Its up to you to continue talking to them or not. Same as online. There are plenty of weirdos out there but they are everywhere. You just have to be careful, find out about the person, talk a lot, look for any inconsistencies and have fun. My current boyfriend is somebody I met on line. We have a great relationship and have been together almost 2 years. Plus on line, you get to learn more about the persons personality, you can take your time and even investigate if you have to.. dont laugh, think I didnt look things up about people that I was talking to on line.
Good luck.
Reply:yea holla at me when you get the chance
Reply:well where areya from? message me and i can tell ya more i hope u didnt click on that link
Reply:From my experience online dating gives you the same options as in anything, u will find every type of guy if you look long and hard enough. However, even though I did meet some nice guys, I didn't find the same connection as meeting someone offline. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't.
Reply:If you do be very careful. Learn the rules and "commandments".
here's the link to john tesh's website with the searches for online dating done.

Online dating sites?
Hello there,
Can anyone recommend the best online dating sites? Or the best sites for the rich and affluent to meet ,it's for my sister,shes very sucssesful and wants to meet like minded people.
Any info would be great,thank you!
Online dating sites?

Income of $150,000 or more per year required
Reply:Does your sister like to be social? Or is she the laid back type. Whatever type of person your sister will like is on a dating site. Many dating sites include Lavalife and many other fantastic dating sites including RSVP. It gives you the chance to meet and chat to people but be aware of internet safety. Personally I enjoy being social, but if your sister prefers to chat on the computer I don't blame her. Whatever you do, just remember to be yourself and dont be afraid to show yourself... it can only get BETTER!
Reply:well since nowadays they all cost a truckload of $$ that should be easy - any one of them
happy troll hunting
Reply:If she's successful, she shouldn't have trouble meeting men!
Reply:Truthfully, it would depend upon what type of relationship that she is looking for.
If she's looking for a long-term and serious relationship, then you need to use a site which has serious and like-minded individuals. I use the top website below for all of my clients that need to settle down, or are looking for long-term relationship hopefuls after a separation.
However, if she is simply looking for a casual relationship, or something that is short term, then you can use the bottom website below. I use that for all of my clients that are simply looking for a short-term and fun relationship until they are ready for a long-term relationship. Funny thing is that sometimes the short-term seekers end up choosing to stay long term with the people that they meet at the bottom website!
Reply:I like http://www.irelandfriends.com as well. You can message for free there, which is a plus.

And why does she "have" to have another rich person? Why can't she have someone who's an excellent ice skater, dancer or DJ? Like-minded does NOT mean "like credit ratings".
Reply:try the friendsreunited.com it worked for me, they have their own online dating, as well as finding out what became of your schoolfriends, its a great site, i ended up going out with a guy who i had fancied like mad at school, and 25yrs on we are doing great !!
Reply:there are a few, google it and you will find a list
as for people insulting internet dating, i think each to their own, some people may be shy or have low self esteem, so find it easier to use dating sites, and why not??
not everyone is in to going out to clubs and pubs, this doesnt mean they are weird, just that everyones different, it really doesnt matter where you meet your partner does it?? as long as your happy
good luck with the search! :)
Reply:It is a shame she is only looking for Rich and affluent people - says a little about what she admires in people and really - is that worth admiring or is it better to find a wonderful man who treats you well, wants to spend time with you and occasionally spoils you by treating you like a princess...
I met my partner on RSVP.com - I have to admit that i had a few dates with guys that came across quite lovely in e-mail and phone conversations, but were a little strange in person... and then I met "Him". He is lovely and is everything I was looking for in a man - though I was more concerned with how I was treated than what assets he had.
Advise your sister to give any site a go - they all have a HUGE variety of people on them. It is no risk to get on and have a browse and see if anyone's profiles appeal to you. But i hope she considers looking at something other that a superficial bank balance.

Online dating - largely a success or more a case of hit and miss?
Has anyone else had frustrating experiences using online dating i.e. it led nowhere? Has it ever felt like you may as well have lost once you started sending someone a message?
If you're a man and you used it, did you find the women overly fussy?
Likewise if you're a woman and you used it, did you find the men overly fussy?
Online dating - largely a success or more a case of hit and miss?
I met my boyfriend on a dating site. Before meeting him I was frustrated with the process and had decided not to renew the service. I met him just before the end of the three months I had initially signed up for and I am glad I did it.
Reply:Pros and cons always. Can be good if you are looking for chat and banter but more than that can be a bit of a let down and even dangerous. Is a great hunting ground for the predatory male who can come in a good guy guise. Only when sucked in do you start to realise he is a messer then teh hurt and then the finale. The feeling it was no more tahn a waste of time.
Reply:Probably hit and miss, just like real world dating.... If you don't "click" then you don't click, no matter where you meet the person.
Reply:Its depenant on the people involved. The way I see it is you have as much chance meeting someone online as you do meeting in Tesco or a pub
Reply:Men out number the women on those sites so they can afford to be fussy.
I think women expect to be treated the same way online as out in the world. Be prepared to flirt and woo.
I wasn't looking anything serious so I did fine with a couple of dates. My experience over all was positive.
Reply:I have tried it and I think overly fussy sounds about right. I am not going to bother with it any more.
Reply:My opinion is that it is a waste of time and money.
Sooner or later, you have to meet with the opposite sex in person, you have to convey an interesting personality, and you have to create a relationship, and have sex (which requires close physical proximity). You are better off mastering these real-world skills, and *then* add online dating into the mix, if you are too busy to meet people, or travel a lot, or both.
The internet is great for a lot of things-- but meeting new romantic interests isn't one of them. There are just too many unresolved variables to make it worthwhile, when you compare it to the alternative (meeting people face-to-face).
Reply:NEVER USED IT
Reply:I've done online dating before. The men, I have found, are only in it for a shag that they cannot find anywhere else. And the women, like myself, are kinda desperate! Online dating doesn't work unkless you are very lucky.
Try speed dating instead. Me %26amp; my mate went last week %26amp; have had some success this way. And its cheaoer and more fun too. Go online and type in speed dating. Good luck!
Reply:i did and had the worst experience.
Reply:Its no different to other forms of dating
How ever people act online they can be the same in real life
If they lie on line they can lie to your face
If they are fussy they are fussy in their Lives as well
Reply:I do not know about the fussy part, but I hate the fact that you alot of the time do not get a photo?
Reply:better from what i'm told. a few of my buddies did it and ended up with some real hotties. when i asked them. how did YOU ever meet a girl like that? always the same answer. internet. i think it's because they had done so much chatting online and on the phone that by the time they met each other, they were already tight. sometimes people lie or take strategic photos then it gets a bit sketchy, but so far, i've only heard good things, i'd definitely do it myself....if i weren't so addicted to yahoo answers that is.
Reply:When my wife and I first decided to split up (she had been seeing other people) I decided to give online dating a go. well first its ok finding the sites ,and they all say "free" but its only free to register and then it costs a fortune to actually use the site. Then you start swapping messages with someone and unless they tell you they charge by the hour all you ever do is swap messages. I've spoken to a few people since then and they all say the same.
Reply:never used that kinda thing, but my pal does. she thinks its ok but so far shes only met up with a few guys and they have all been prats i reckon. but u do hear of people that actually find love on them sites
Reply:My personal experience has been that the men on online dating sites are there for one reason only: they aren't able to pick up girls at the local bar. Which means they are either ugly, stupid, classless, or married. So I don't do online dating anymore.
Reply:I'd say it's hit and miss. The biggest thing against it is that if you're out socially and you encounter someone you don't fancy, you can shake them off. It's a bit harder to do when you finally meet up with the other person. Having said that, it's probably worth a try.

Reply:I've done online dating before. The men, I have found, are only in it for a shag that they cannot find anywhere else. And the women, like myself, are kinda desperate! Online dating doesn't work unkless you are very lucky.
Try speed dating instead. Me %26amp; my mate went last week %26amp; have had some success this way. And its cheaoer and more fun too. Go online and type in speed dating. Good luck!
Reply:i did and had the worst experience.
Reply:Its no different to other forms of dating
How ever people act online they can be the same in real life
If they lie on line they can lie to your face
If they are fussy they are fussy in their Lives as well
Reply:I do not know about the fussy part, but I hate the fact that you alot of the time do not get a photo?
Reply:better from what i'm told. a few of my buddies did it and ended up with some real hotties. when i asked them. how did YOU ever meet a girl like that? always the same answer. internet. i think it's because they had done so much chatting online and on the phone that by the time they met each other, they were already tight. sometimes people lie or take strategic photos then it gets a bit sketchy, but so far, i've only heard good things, i'd definitely do it myself....if i weren't so addicted to yahoo answers that is.
Reply:When my wife and I first decided to split up (she had been seeing other people) I decided to give online dating a go. well first its ok finding the sites ,and they all say "free" but its only free to register and then it costs a fortune to actually use the site. Then you start swapping messages with someone and unless they tell you they charge by the hour all you ever do is swap messages. I've spoken to a few people since then and they all say the same.
Reply:never used that kinda thing, but my pal does. she thinks its ok but so far shes only met up with a few guys and they have all been prats i reckon. but u do hear of people that actually find love on them sites
Reply:My personal experience has been that the men on online dating sites are there for one reason only: they aren't able to pick up girls at the local bar. Which means they are either ugly, stupid, classless, or married. So I don't do online dating anymore.
Reply:I'd say it's hit and miss. The biggest thing against it is that if you're out socially and you encounter someone you don't fancy, you can shake them off. It's a bit harder to do when you finally meet up with the other person. Having said that, it's probably worth a try.
Online dating, webcams n stuff?
hello. there are lots of situations on here of people who have fallen in love online, thru myspace, i.m, dating sites er
tc...now when things go belly up, (i have been here myself) and people r loike, u don't know them, u never met/seen him or her...but you have, i mean webcams, phone calls, texts and i.m etc IS like meeitng someone isn't it??? u see them live, talk on t phone, surley this IS enough to say u know someone and gather what they r like? or is it really that decieving?
Online dating, webcams n stuff?
Honestly, you don't really know someone you have met in real life either. Some people don't show their true selves, even in person. It's easier to be deceitful online but really, you can't trust anyone! LOL.
Reply:Where to begin. I'm sure that you feel you have merit on this and I honestly agree that you do but hear me out. The internet has provided alot of people another way to communicate and its bloody brilliant in most cases. Now however when it comes to online dating and such its a different story. People online tend to only show one side they choose to display. Imagine when your at a job interview your always polite because your exchanging and conversing information. This is the same for online dating.
The other person is always super polite and is I'm sure saying things that are very interesting. You see them on cam and talk to them on the phone but for them they are showing one side of themselves because why. Because they can when they are not in front of you in the flesh. The internet is how to say de-personalizes a situation because there is a constant barrier between the people. They are giving the side they want to give and visaversa but really people aren't like this in real life. People have crap days and lie about things all the time.
So to answer your question direct, even though you think you know that person. You really don't. Anything is possible on the net these days and it would be foolish for people to waste such time on these so called online relationships when they should be spending their precious time embarking to find someone in real life.
Thats my opinion though
Reply:Tread with extreme caution here! Danger - all kinds of danger - lies ahead! As you say, there may well be lots of situations on here, but are they really genuine? I doubt it very much, personally.
Discount fifty per cent of what people tell you on-line, then divide the remainder by ten, and you are about right.
My dating days have long since gone, thankfully, but I would never, ever countenance online dating - ever!
Good luck. I wish you well.
Reply:Each situation is different, it’s is quite possible to fall in love with someone you haven’t physically met before. If you think about it with the web cam and all messages you can get a feel of what that person is like (at least what he claims to be) so it’s not surprising to hear ppl fall in love on line.
In some situation it can be explained as addiction rather than love, as I said before each situation is different.
Reply:It's only half the story. You absolutely must meet them in person. People are on their best behavior when they are texting or IMing or on the phone or on webcams. Plus, it's impossible to make out ove the phone. Phone sex is one thing, but you can't beat one-on-one human contact.
Reply:Good question. You can get to know someone online provided they are honest with what they present to you in the first place. Someone who is good in deceiving can deceive you online %26amp; offline. The minus part of online dating is the other stuff you can't see - how they live, who they associate with, are they really who they say they are besides what they let you see online. It has it's pluses %26amp; minuses.
There can be honest people who present themselves as who they really are. Then again, they are those (%26amp; they exist) who don't.
The best thing to do is to make sure you both meet up %26amp; spend some time together in person to judge for yourself.
Reply:this is all the same and if i was you i wuold go out with who ever you feel right for
Reply:It is all a big, fat, lie. They are paid actors, lying to you, saying that they met online...it is all a lie, geared at getting your money. Don't do it!
Reply:i met my guy 1 night and had to fly 10hours away across the world...we exchanged details...
we fell in love entirely over the net, emails and calls...we talked for hours, chatted online and yes it was like we were together at heart and in minds...the only part missing was the physical contact but that came later when we met again in person and were sooo in love...
you know when i think about it we actually fell deeper in love through the net because we both took the time and effort to get to know each other sooo well without a phsycial interruption too early on...and we're engaged and getting married next year...
so online dating works...its all about a connection, chemistry and a deep understaning and love for each other and that can happen anywhere and under all kinds of circumstances so good luck!
Reply:It is really that deceiving. If you can't trust what people are like right in front of you how can anyone trust people online. People lie about their ages,nationalities, even gender. You're better off making a real relationship and not a net one.
Reply:Yes it is
Reply:Everything you mentioned is a good way to initially meet someone but it can be very very deceiving. You will learn a lot through e-mail , web conversations and exchanging photos but you will learn 10 times that in the first face to face meeting. I have seen women post pictures of their daughter on dating sites in an effort to meet younger men and I am certain that men have done the same thing. Never take anything you see or read on the internet as fact consider it all to be opinion and fiction, I have seen doctored pictures presented as fact.
On line introductions are OK but before you get emotional
always demand a personal meeting in a public place and have a friend posted nearby .

Online dating...what do you do when..?
Okay so this girl messaged me and she was really nice and we had a few really good chats, and then I saw a picture and I am *REALLY* not attracted to her. I'm sorry. I can pretend I am but...actually no, I really can't. Nothing could ever happen between us. What do you do after a nice chat when you're no longer interested?? This is one of the messiest parts about online dating!! You don't get to see the person first sometimes!
Online dating...what do you do when..?
I think I would tell her that I wasn't being exclusive within the online dating community, and would like to continue looking for the "perfect" person. Or, that I had just started dating someone else from the site (or another one). She can't think she was the only one on the dating site worthy of checking out more closely.
Good luck, that is pretty messy, but dating sites are there to help you find just what you're looking for. If you were going to settle, you probably could have picked out a gas station attendant a long time ago ;)
Reply:Just let her know the truth. Got really good chats doesn't mean you guys will be in love. Tell her you just need friendship relationship. But we don't know what did you told to her. Did you say you're into her? If so you'll hurt her a little bit. But I don't think she'll get mad for that. Next time ask for picture first. lol
P.S. That's why I don't do online dating. I don't trust the pic they post on their profile. Cuz I'm always use my friend pic (with permission)
Reply:Ya thats why I'm reluctant to send out my picture. I would say just tell her. Say, I'm very interested in you, but I'm just not attracted to you. It's a personal preference type thing, don't be offended.
Reply:Just be friends? Just because you talked to her that doesn't mean you're obliged to have sex with her but you equally you shouldn't cut off all ties just because she's not your type physically.
Reply:Jenny,'
Be honest with her and tell her that you just are not interested in her and let it go than move on.
Blockdelete them on your IM listing on the computer or cell phone.
Reply:yea just say: im going on vacation across the world and never talk to her again because you dont wanna say your an ugly peice of crap and hurt her feelings.
Reply:it happened to me once.i told this guy that we could only be friends because i wasnt ready for a relationship,he said fine.
weeks later i stopped taking his calls
Reply:Stop returning her messages? D:
Reply:Just tell her you'd rather stay friends.

Online dating match?
Who out there has had a match that worked from an online dating site, and are still in that relationship?

Yes, I met my husband online and he is the love of my life. We have been together for 4 years already.

Online dating: are there any women out there that are willing to tell of financial loss?
I have a guy friend that was tricked by a woman he met on a major online dating site --- he was taken to the tune of $250,000. She was quite an operator, but I'm curious if there are woman out there that have been deceived by men. I would guess that situation would be even more prevalent - please confirm if you know personally or know of such a case.
Online dating: are there any women out there that are willing to tell of financial loss?
Normal. I've seen many girls seeking money at the millionaire dating site millionairecupid.com. The most important point is we should not be fooled by them.
Reply:Deceived online? Yes.
Lost money? No. I don't send money to people I don't know. My responsibility isn't to support anyone but me.

Online dating, can you help?
I'm new to online dating and I found a site I like I got a message from a guy he wrote: " hi how you doing? I was reading your profile and I would like to get to know you better. If you are interested" I want to reply but I don't know what to write, any advice?
Online dating, can you help?
Haha I have done online dating before, but with guys i met on places like facebook or penpalgarden. They're more safe in my opinion... cept maybe facebook.... but anyway!
Say hello. Ask how he is, and say something like "It would be nice to get to know you better =)"
Reply:Well just say hi back, like a total stranger that you are. It's already akward that your asking total strangers to give you advices... haha...

Online Dating Question... girls mostly.?
I tried this online dating site called OKCupid... it's free and people also use it to make friends. I send people messages, not to just go out with them, sometimes its just to make a new friend and I try commenting on either their profile... their picture... or something I picked up from their personality by the way they type.
I try complementing them and responding to something they have in their profile but it seems no one ever responds to my messages. I'm new to this so I'm not that good at this...
What do girls want to read in their profile or what can I say to someone for them to want to respond to me back? I tried being funny, smart, I tried holding conversations with them and asking them questions but I never get a response... and i'm not going to sound conceaded and say My picture is crazy hott but i'm not ugly. Any advice?
Online Dating Question... girls mostly.?
This is a lame answer, but it's true. Just be yourself and also be patient. If you put up a front and embellish the truth at all, you might find someone you really like and then you'll have to explain to them that you weren't 100% honest. It's simply not worth it.
Good things come to those who wait, so just be patient. If it's supposed to happen, it will.
I met my fiance online 5 years ago and we've been happy together since. I'm proof that waiting for a good one to come along pays off in the end. :)

Online dating : what are your thoughts on it?
Well now.....
I met the love of my life on-line. We did a bunch of emailing first and then went on a date. Best thing that ever happened to me and her.
Reply:My niece met her fiance using online dating. It does work for some.
Reply:Ive been a system admin for internet sites for as long as its
been internet. Ive had alot of involvement in this subject long
before there were even official sites for it.
One answer that is kindof fun is like this:
"You dont know if they are really young, or really blonde, or
really have those stats, or really even female"
"Oh yeah? Have you been to a bar recently?"
Most of the people who put down online dating consider bars
or dance clubs to be the mostly likely alternative. But give them a hard time about not being able to really chat with the person, and taking them home. Then when they start taking stuff off you find out that they arent really young, arent really blonde, dont really have those stats, and arent even female.
Sure people can fake things online. But over a period of time
you tend to really get to know the person. Its not infallable but
its not a total failure either, and real-world meetings arent
always perfect either.
On the other hand.....
MEETING them has many hazards. People in some countries looking for mates in another just to change citizenship. People in some countries trying to get you there because the laws there arent a problem for things like kidnapping. Or just the scam lately of getting a free plane ticket across country by pretending to be a cute young girl. Be VERY careful about how and where you finally meet someone.

Online Dating...Socially Acceptable?
Has finding a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse become more socially acceptable? I'm not asking whether or not the relationship will last because we all know the answer to that question depends on the relationship and the people involved.
I was just wondering whether online dating is now more socially acceptable. If you're a parent would you object, and if you would why?
Online Dating...Socially Acceptable?
I only know 3 people who did the online dating.
1. guy would only get dates from 250 pounds, scared him away
2. gut who dated his cousin and found a new love on line and 6 yrs still together
3. Airforce lady got in trouble and had to remove her dating add because she said the word bondage and tattoos.
I would be worried if my child dated online.
Reply:Yes, I believe it is more socially acceptable. And, interestingly, now the largest growing group of online daters are baby boomers.
Reply:Sure. It saves time. If you are going to meet someone, might as well pick and choose via technology.

Online dating cool?
what do you all think about online dating sites?
Online dating cool?
Yeah, of course it's cool. It's not always easy to meet people in the real world, busy work schedules, if you live in a sparsely populated area, or you're not into clubs and pubs, there may not be many opportunities.
There are a few pervs and weirdos on dating sites, but in my experience they're easy to avoid. Most of the members are just nice normal people who want to increase their options for meeting someone. It's no different to meeting someone in your daily life - you don't know what anyone is really like until you get to know them.
I'm on plentyoffish.com, which is a completely free site (unlike some with misleading adverts) and I have had a lot of fun and met some nice men.
Reply:they'r cool.
Reply:i wouldn't say they're "cool." But it certainly gets you many dates in a short amount of time. Most people meet after about one month or so after messaging each-other on the site. But be prepared for many disapointments too.
Reply:your chances of meeting a bad person online are no worse than meeting someone in person...look what can happen in mariages these days.Infidelity, domestic violence, and more is on the rise, and they all thought they knew each other!
when you meet someone on line, you need to be smart about the initial meetings...there are many ways you can be cautious without missing an oportunity to find someone. At least online, you know two people are looking...
in person, so many play stupid "catch me if you can" games. It can work well, if you just use your noggin.
Reply:I don't really like them. I have met a few people on them but opted to just keep my dating life offline because usually when I meet someone from an internet dating site they are nothing like on their pictures.
Reply:I think if you are going to do it you should really check out the person and find out what they are all about before u get involved with them.
Reply:I think its weird i mean why do online dating go find a dude that you can see all the time and you know hes cool cuz sometimes you cant be to sure with people on the computer.
Reply:if you want to get raped or killed or something its great!
otherwise....

Online dating please help?
has anyone used online dating services like match.com? what's it like. are all the people weird, fat and ugly. were they scare crazy.
Online dating please help?
personally i love plentyoffish.com it offers everything the popular sites do except it's free!
and i really hope you give it a try-as long as you are save and selective about the people you talk to, its just as safe and fun as meeting anyone in a club or at work...or just as unsafe i could say.
there's a stigma attached i know, but it allows you to get to know people by their personality, not just by physical appearance, and if there is a chance that somewhere there is a person exactly like you in the same position looking for love, why not give it a shot?

Online dating - good or bad experience?
i consider online dating - tell me is it ok - or really waste of time?
Online dating - good or bad experience?
GOOD!!!
I married my on line girl friend...we dated for three years on line :) then we got married, it was worth it, we have been married for two years now, been together for five years total.
Just be honest, and be your self, it was the best thing that happened to me :)
i have seen lots of answers saying "its a wast of time" or "it won´t work if you live too far away"
one of my cousins is now living with his on line girl friend, he is in Texas, she was in Australia. after over a year of them being together on line, she moved to Texas.
as for my self, i was in Tx. my wife is Peruvian, I moved to Peru...distance don´t matter...when you find your mate, distance don´t matter.
Reply:It's great you should do it but be a bit canny and let someone know where you are.
Reply:its a good idea if you are able to really get to know the person. I met my soulmate online when I was 14. I'm 25 now and he's the love of my life and I moved 800 miles to be with him.
Reply:I am married to the girl of my life who i found online. i moved about 20,000 mile for her.. and would do it again if i have to...
Chances of finding your partner online are much less that finding one in the real life. It's because all the unclear picture of the person you are talking to. I had about 10 relations online until i found my girl. It is tough, it is not easy, it needs both sides to work on differences and mostly it needs real love.
Love online is not a shame, it something that we can try. If it fails, life will go on. Worse things can happen when you date face to face...
I really wish you good luck
Reply:It's depend on your luck...It's like a knife. It can be used by others in both ways. So, Best of luck...!
Reply:Online dating works, but its a job! You must screen members very carefully and always have a list of criteria and stick to it.
There are alot of wackjobs and people can hide who they really are on the internet...its best to meet in a public place and never give out your number. Once you meet someone in public, you'll be amazed at how different someone will be from the cyber person you've been chatting with and the person in the flesh. I met my "Mr. Wonderful from Match.com
and that was after dating over 30 people, one of which had a profile on a sex site...Gross!
Reply:Give it a try! Especially if you are not someone to hang out at bars or are too busy to go out a lot...I met my boyfriend through yahoo personals and he lives 10 minutes away from my office. We would have never met if it wasn't for online dating.
It might take some time and a lot of dates, so be patient.
Also...I did not have very high expectations when I started out and just tried to have fun. I did meet a couple of really great men, but only one ended up being "the one for me".
If uou decide to go forward: good luck!
Reply:Waste of time
Reply:Well it can work if you see each other and go on dates etc.
it's only a waste of time if its long distance.
Reply:I met my future husband through yahoo personals... I only dated one other person from online... good luck!
Reply:It's like dating anywhere else, only you have just their word, photographs or a cam to go on for physical attributes; there's no body language or interaction to see what the chemisty is until you actually meet in person.
As for the personality, you have to screen any date carefully, if you want to get the best results. I find challenging people mentally is the best way to see how they react under pressure; if they quit too soon, we weren't a good match and it saves me the hassle and cost of going to meet them!
Reply:It is usually not worth it
Reply:Some good experiences. Nothing bad, just some time out of my day.
Reply:I dated a few guys online and the only reason it never worked was cos of the distance between us. Then I met a guy from the USA and then we dated online for a year. Last year november we married and now feb we expecting our first baby. Dating online works out if youre determined enough. It makes you get to know someone without the physical pressure as regular dating. Try it and see how it works for you.

Do you think online dating is the right way to meet someone?
Do you think online dating is the right way to meet someone? I've tried match.com, americansingles.com and many many sites in the last two years. I have not got the right person for me, although I have met many friends there. A friend ask me to try wealthymingle.com. I was wondering whether I should go on or give up the online dating.

i tried a few sites and the one that i had the most fun on (and i did met some lovely ladies as well) as adult friend finder ---- if you ignore the idiots you can have a laugh --- as well i met my lady (long story) --- i suppose the major drawback to most people here is that they are older people 30 - 40 plus --- it can work if you open you mind to possibilities ---- best wishes

Reply:There are 35 men for every 1 woman registered with a dating site.
Women practice dismissal, fear, and preoccupation. Men need an opening line, small talk, and to close with getting a telephone number or a date. The number one dating advice for women is "play hard to get".
Obese blobs, (that are 50% of the population), have immature hysteria that causes delirium in good looking women. The environments in this society are .1% good looking women.
No one has ever seen the start of a relationship. There are 21 organizations spying on the public with plain clothes agents.

Has anyone been burned by Online dating?
I know I have dabbled in the online dating world, but to no avail. I just got burned by some crazy individuals, but that was a while ago. I just want to know if anyone has gotten burned by online dating and how bad? I am trying to figure out some potential problems that I might encounter because I decided to start an online dating site, the way I want it!
Has anyone been burned by Online dating?
Oh definitely. I dated this one guy for a few dates, and then heard absolutely nothing from him at all. Nothing. AND this was after I had told him I had been talking to a different guy and then he jsut stopped talking to me, and how rude I thought that was, and of course he said he would never do that.... yeah right! I won't ever date another "separated" man again... he needs to be divorced.

Online dating only for white males?
I heard from many non-white guys that online dating is not an option for them. What do you think?
Online dating only for white males?
while there's no definite answer... i'd say that it's harder for non-white males to go that route, but thats also disputable. while white males might experience more hits, it's probably because it's so saturated with white males. and let's not ignore the fact that there's always females out there that are looking for non-white males too. if your not seeing too much success with online dating, don't jump to the conclusion that it's targeted towards a specific demographic. but in your case i'd opt to try other avenues of match making, while using online dating to compliment that

Online Dating has anyone had true success?
I'm just curious, dating in general just scares me from all of the horror stories my best friends have been through. All the guys in my area, go from intelligent conversationalists to bumbling idiots in 30 mins. Not to mention they all treat me like I'm just their friend, so I'm thinking about trying the online thing but I'm not going into anything blind.
Online Dating has anyone had true success?
Well, I had heard good things about online dating, and tried it myself at one point. Online dating is really nothing more than another "option" for you to try and meet some new people in addition to meeting them in real life. It is certainly no silver bullet for instantly finding your true love.
The biggest problem with online dating nowadays is that an extremely large amount of people have turned to it. If you are a guy, like me, and attempting to email an attractive woman, you're competing with thousands of other guys in your area. I read somewhere that guys greatly outnumber girls on online dating, and girls, especially attractive ones, can received dozens to hundreds of emails a week. This results in having a very small chance of that person paying attention to your profile over someone elses. In addition, since you can "screen" people by checking out their profiles, you have to be very careful what you say in it because things that you write can be interpreted very differently by different people. And once someone has found something they don't like about your profile, even one small thing, you're typically crossed off of their list.
So, it is very hard to get that initial connection, however, once you do (and remember it's all a numbers game in trying to meet someone, especially online), you have some other things to worry about. People seem to be very good at finding that one picture of them that makes them very good looking, whether it's because of some extraordinary lighting or a shot from 6 years earlier. You can never be guaranteed that someone will look the same when you meet them. The few times I actually met someone in person after meeting them online, I was quite surprised how different they looked. If you do meet in person after meeting online, make sure you choose a public area (coffee shop, etc) to be safe.
Now, the other downside is that most websites charge you for this service of theirs. That is, if you actually want to contact another member, which is the whole point. So you basically have to pay, and it's not exactly cheap. I ended up deciding that the amount of money I was paying and the results I was getting just weren't worth it to me, so I stopped trying online dating. There are some free websites (plentyoffish.com). But, I did not find it any better than the ones I paid for, other than the fact it was free. The same problems still existed.
Now, I've made this sound mostly bad. But, the good thing is that it is just another "tool" in your belt in meeting someone. As long as you don't mind paying the monthly fees and spending the time to update your profile regularly (to keep it "bumped" and on top of the "Recently Updated/Active" list that most websites have), then it can be a very good thing. As you are a woman, you'll likely receive a lot of responses from guys, so your experience may vary dramatically from mine. I would say go ahead and give it a shot and form your own opinion on how effective it is. I really hope that it works out good for you. I know that it was worked for other people, so there's no reason not to at least try!
Reply:At least the men in your area start as an intelligent conversationalist!!!
I have tried on-line dating and dated some very good quality men, I found the biggest obstacle was that often it was a long distance sort of thing and that is hard to do.

Online Dating has anyone had true success?
Well, I had heard good things about online dating, and tried it myself at one point. Online dating is really nothing more than another "option" for you to try and meet some new people in addition to meeting them in real life. It is certainly no silver bullet for instantly finding your true love.
The biggest problem with online dating nowadays is that an extremely large amount of people have turned to it. If you are a guy, like me, and attempting to email an attractive woman, you're competing with thousands of other guys in your area. I read somewhere that guys greatly outnumber girls on online dating, and girls, especially attractive ones, can received dozens to hundreds of emails a week. This results in having a very small chance of that person paying attention to your profile over someone elses. In addition, since you can "screen" people by checking out their profiles, you have to be very careful what you say in it because things that you write can be interpreted very differently by different people. And once someone has found something they don't like about your profile, even one small thing, you're typically crossed off of their list.
So, it is very hard to get that initial connection, however, once you do (and remember it's all a numbers game in trying to meet someone, especially online), you have some other things to worry about. People seem to be very good at finding that one picture of them that makes them very good looking, whether it's because of some extraordinary lighting or a shot from 6 years earlier. You can never be guaranteed that someone will look the same when you meet them. The few times I actually met someone in person after meeting them online, I was quite surprised how different they looked. If you do meet in person after meeting online, make sure you choose a public area (coffee shop, etc) to be safe.
Now, the other downside is that most websites charge you for this service of theirs. That is, if you actually want to contact another member, which is the whole point. So you basically have to pay, and it's not exactly cheap. I ended up deciding that the amount of money I was paying and the results I was getting just weren't worth it to me, so I stopped trying online dating. There are some free websites (plentyoffish.com). But, I did not find it any better than the ones I paid for, other than the fact it was free. The same problems still existed.
Now, I've made this sound mostly bad. But, the good thing is that it is just another "tool" in your belt in meeting someone. As long as you don't mind paying the monthly fees and spending the time to update your profile regularly (to keep it "bumped" and on top of the "Recently Updated/Active" list that most websites have), then it can be a very good thing. As you are a woman, you'll likely receive a lot of responses from guys, so your experience may vary dramatically from mine. I would say go ahead and give it a shot and form your own opinion on how effective it is. I really hope that it works out good for you. I know that it was worked for other people, so there's no reason not to at least try!
Reply:At least the men in your area start as an intelligent conversationalist!!!
I have tried on-line dating and dated some very good quality men, I found the biggest obstacle was that often it was a long distance sort of thing and that is hard to do.
I wouldn't say it is for the desperate. I am definately not.

Online dating is not for non-caucasian guys?
I don't want to be racist, but I'm experiencing difficulties meeting people from online dating sites. I really feel (from many experience) that one of the biggest factor is race. Many people of the same race as me confirmed that too. What do you think?
Online dating is not for non-caucasian guys?
No racist intended... Just be honest of who you are. There are sites like the Match.com thing or Personals where you can descibe yourself or post your pics. If you are honest and upfront THEY will be the ones to choose you!! Good Luck
Reply:Maybe your just hitting the wrong sites. Try something like a virtual community. I met the love of life on www.myspace.com I reccommend anyone who is looking for someone to go on there.

Online dating sites?
Have you ever meet anyone from one of these online dating sites? Would you? What precautions would you take? Do you think it is a good (or bad) idea?
Online dating sites?
Yeah, actually I was planning a trip to Ireland and I stumbled across a European "friends/dating" website. I was bored, so I checked it out and believe it or not, I ended up meeting the guy who would become my "first love" (we talked for months then met in person once I was over there). Mad, I know, but true...
It seems people are overly skeptical about Internet dating... it's really not all that bad. It's so much easier to get to know someone on a more intimate level when all you can do is talk... then once you meet, if you have chemistry, all the physical aspects of the relationship you were missing out on are even more incredible... that's how it was in my experience, at least.
Not every experience is good, but there are possibilities... keep an open mind and see.
Reply:I've tried online dating and actually have met some nice girls but they are usually either a little heavy, not the most beautiful women, or want to get married by the end of the first date. If you don't have any issues with physical attraction and need to have a relationship you might find a nice girl. I'm shallow so it's harder
Reply:It'a like whenever you meet some one new...meet in a public place, be careful about giving out your phone number (reverse look-ups make it so much easier to find addresses not), and follow your gut feelings.
Reply:If it had a proven track record I might. like if that EHarmony really works then I might use it. But I have never met anyone who has used it or any online dating service.
Reply:eharmony.com,match.com
I might recomend it, but then again I might not it depends on what kind of person you are... My cousin went on match.com and found someone and they dated for a year, but it was a long distance relationship so it didn't last that long....
Reply:i have never actually used one but i don't think it is a bad idea... people go out with someone who has some of the same interests and personality; doesn't sound bad 2 me :D

Online dating really doesn't work, does it?
I tried match.com for a month and gave up. I talked to a few women via e-mail and phone and they seemed to be interested. I asked "Would you like to meet?", and then they just stopped communicating. I guess they just didn't like me. It's so easy to sit in front of a computer and just move on, isn't it? I'm bitter about the whole thing. I will never try online dating again, ever! I think I'm undateable anyway because I'm not outgoing. I'm shy.
Online dating really doesn't work, does it?
Try to be more outgoing, and you never know w/ online dating. It may or maynot work out. If you get turned down, don't stress and move on. You will find the right person eventually.
Reply:1st off you are not undatable. That is a bad attitude.
I say keep trying online. It took me about 1.5 years and probably $300.00 but I finally found the girl that was made for me. As in real life, online dating can take time. There will be some disappointments. Don't give up, it is a great tool that will be more widely accepted as people break down their insecurities and fears of online dating. As for the $300, I can not put a price on our relationship but if I had to it would be WAY more than $300. What a bargain.
I met my girlfriend online about 6 months ago and am blown away. The impossible happened. She IS the perfect match and I would never have met her if not for online dating. I laugh every time I think of how the planets had to align for us to meet. It is a miracle.
In your profile, state that you are shy. No big deal, lot's of people are shy. My girlfriend stated that she is shy in her profile. Take care writing your profile, it is your self marketing that will get you phone numbers. You are unique, show why. Important to either be creative or funny in your profile. Don't waste to much time or effort, get a phone number. Emailing will take time and will also take a toll on you. Let's face it, it is hard to find a perfect match. Don't give up but rather try harder.
I don't know why things have not worked out for you on the phone, but maybe you were surprising them too much. Maybe you did not describe yourself well enough in your profile and something you are saying scares them off. If you are super religious, say so. If you have a cat, say so. If you hate dogs, say so. If you collect comic books, say so.
Please don't give up. Go to Yahoo Personal and get some experience for free. Write your profile and adjust it until you are getting the attention you deserve. When you are happy with it, go to Match and pay. The reason I feel it is good to pay is that paysites have people who are more serious. I know people fishing around on the free sites just because they are free.
Match is a tool that has to be properly used. That is why companies like Coke pay so much for advertising. Not everyone can market themselves.
Good luck. It worked for me and I couldn't be happier.
Reply:Just be honest and serious, you will get the right one. Maybe you are not in the right place, if you can't find someone for long, choose other dating site. I met my love at millionairecupid.com, it's a really nice site, you can have a try.
Reply:Why did you pay for match.com ?
Why not try something FREE with FREE you can't go wrong. :)
Be open minded, and be more outgoing...give it a few conversations before you ask someone to meet you. :)
try free websites like these:
www.craigslist.org there is a PERSONALS section
and www.hotornot.com
or www.plentyoffish.com
Why pay for something if you can meet people for free ? :)
If its free you really can't go wrong. :)
Don't be so judgemental and jump the gun after not havingmet anyone yet. :)

I was like you last year, i was extremely extremely shy, like i didnt get out of the house and i had no friend what so ever! Til one day when one girl asked me what was my name, me being shy i didnt answer while my head was down! She asked me why i was shy and i didnt answer, so she told me to walk with her and i was basically her pet, and she said to me one thing... it was Your never gonna get anywhere being shy and told me to go over to the girl i like and...

Online Dating and Meeting. What was it like?
For those of you who have met someone through online and went to meet them in real lfe... You don't have to be dating them. You can just be friends. What was it like when you finally met him/her for the first time? Was it akward? Did it get just weird after that? What happened to the relationship between you after the meeting?
I'm just curious. Share stories please?

Reply:did it twice and had 2 wonderful relations come from it
Reply:I met my wife on Match.com. I liked that we were able to pick the criteria in a mate we were looking for. We both had a child from previous marriages and were both looking for someone with a child so we could gauge what type of parent they were. We were both looking for someone who didn't drink or smoke too, so it was very easy to weed people out. We just had our first baby together 5 months ago. My wife is the love of my live and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to have found her. She is an excellent mother to my son who we have full-time and you would never know that my step-daughter and son weren't real siblings. My sister-in-law also found her true love over the internet too. I don't understand why people think you've less likely to be lied to in person than over the net. Just make sure you get a good picture of them and like them for who they are.

Reply:never do it! it can cause some much trouble in your life!!!
Reply:Nothing yet for me. I wasted a lot of time on match.com and yahoo personals that I got so disgusted that I dropped out for a while. The problem with those sites is that they make people pay in order to access email. So even if you pay and have access to email, it doesn't mean that the other person can respond to you.
I have since found http://www.okcupid.com which is 100% totally free and everyone has email. I still haven't found the right one, but I'm making a whole lot more contacts than I ever did on the pay sites. Not only that, but okcupid.com is much safer because everyone has to take their online psych test. Bad people can lie on their written profiles, but they have a much harder time fooling a psych test. The pay sites don't even have that feature.
Reply:I was speaking to a bunch of people on line. One guy I started talking to often, on line, on phone... went on for about 3 months. We finally decide to meet. OH MY God.. I was so nervous. I never had more butterflies in my stomach. He was driving a couple of hours to see me so I was hoping we got along and that everything went ok. Finally he got here. At first, it was really awkward. This voice I had been hearing on the phone was real. It seemed really strange. But then again I really felt like I knew him because all we did was talk and write. I did not feel scared at all.
Needless to say, that was almost 2 years ago. We have been dating ever since. Doing the long distance relationship thing, but very shortly moving together. I still to this day, get butterflies when I am about to see him.. Worked out great for me, but still everybody needs to be careful when meeting somebody on line. There are crazy people everywhere.
Reply:I have wondered that as well. I don't think i could ever trust a stranger from online.
Reply:chatting online and meeting someone in person is completely different and awkward. even with pictures, you develop an expectation of what the person will be like. i think it's seldom we're happily surprised. it did get weird when i tried online dating. the guys weren't what they said they were. the relationship pretty much died after meeting.

Online dating question -- any tips for picking out the good guys?
Any ideas for separating the good from the bad in the online dating world? How can you tell which guys are genuinely interested in meeting Miss Right vs. those who are just in it to get laid? What kinds of things can you do and/or ask to solicit the kind of information you would need to be able to tell what the other person's intentions are?
Online dating question -- any tips for picking out the good guys?
Honestly, look for a detailed profile for starters, any guy who is too lazy to fill that out is just looking for something quick. A guy who fills out all the sections is usually hoping for someone interested in a deeper connection.

Should I Try Online Dating?
I'm a 21 year old college student and i had success in the past when it came to dating but for the last year and half or so, i have had a lot of trouble finding single girls. Its not that i am shy around girls or have no clue what i am doing, for the life of me, i can not find anyone who is single. Nearly every girl i meet isn't just in a relationship but it will be one of those "i've been dating this guy since i was 12" or something like that. Nearly every girl i meet, i have no chance of being able to get a date with, just due to circumstances. Is online dating advisable or would i be better off just doing it the old fashioned way, even if it hasn't worked since summer of 2006?
Should I Try Online Dating?
I'm dont really support the online dating, but i've been told that it works for some people. But i definitely don't think it's the best thing for u to do right now, just because you cant find someone at this time, does not mean this special someone is not out there. when the time is right, u will find her, one way or the other. u've had a experience finding girls the old fashioned way, so it shouldnt be a problem for u. most people lie too much on line, at least close up u can figure it out easily.
Best of luck to you
Reply:Try it! It's not for everyone and sometimes you get some real weirdos and just plain deperate people who just want sex, but othertime you'll find great genuine people who are fun and loyal and good looking (like myself :P) who you can meet and date. :)
Reply:you can meet some cool people try plentyoffish if nothing else the forums are good-a bunch of confused ppl everywhere
lol
Reply:I highly recommend it.
I dated often, but my 'type' (or what I thought was my type) was not working out for me. A friend suggested I meet as many different types as possible to see what my type really was. So I tried online dating for 60 days. I chatted with many. Spoke to several on the phone and dated 3.
The third date and I will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary in 3 days.
Reply:Just check some dating skills carefully at http://link.wealthychats.com and you will find you can deal with this yourself. Online dating is not as easy as our thoughts.
Reply:I would keep at it the old fashioned way but you could at the same time try on-line dating and see what you think. You will need to approach the whole thing with limited expectations. You could meet the love of your life but you are also likely to connect with some people who don't represent themselves in a totally honest way, so be cautious. That having been said I do know of one person who actually ended up meeting their future wife on eHarmony. Also, if you do decide to go the on-line route remember to put together your profile honestly and in a way that is likely to appeal to the type of girls you want to meet.
Take care and good luck.
Reply:I wouldn't. A lot of people just make a bunch of fake profiles. And then you'll probably just end up getting screwed over when you find out that they aren't who they say they are.

Reply:Havent tried the online dating thing myself but a few friends have tried it, met someone, gone out, etc etc and they havent had any problems with it. Id say go for it.
Reply:If you do it safely I advise it. My husband and I met online right here on Yahoo! personals. We have been married for almost 6 years now. My advice...
-Don't use a pay service (there's just no reason to)
-Take it slow. -talk online, then the phone, work up to meeting and when you meet do it in a public place.
-Don't do the long distance thing. Meet someone near you.
Good luck!! My husband was your age when we met I definately recommend it as long as you do it safely!!
Reply:dude honestly i dont think you will be better off going online...talking to "some girl" who could be a 40 year old desperate perv..
you never know what the world will put in front of you

maybe you should just go out more despite of how hard college is a w/e...

all girls need to do is walk outside and they can get dudes, but for guys, we are all still supposed to be the one who starts everything
Reply:i wouldnt recommend it
Reply:most of them are fake
Reply:Yes online dating works and it's way easier to meet people online. I know of 3 couples personally that have met through online dating. Online dating is the new form of dating. I can understand why you're a little scared, but you it can work and it will work for you. If I were you I would use online dating because your chances of meeting local girls are much greater, because there are soo many people using online services. Good luck!

Does online dating kill spontaneity in dating?
I don't want a woman knowing what I do, how much I make, etc....
Whatever happened to know each other through conversation?
Why does online dating seem like such a sad state of affairs?
Does online dating kill spontaneity in dating?
You can put as much or as little information on your profile as you see fit to. But I can tell you from experience that you'll get far more 'activity' with more information.
On-line dating is much different than meeting in person because you don't have the luxury of sensing that 'instant connection' that makes you want to find out more about the person that you do when seeing someone face to face. All you have to go on are common interests, compatibility in lifestyle, education level, career choices...etc.
I did the on-line dating thing for about a year. And yes...it felt a little like looking through a Crate and Barrel catalog sometimes...but really...what else do you have to go on when deciding whether or not you want to take the time to meet someone...other than their photos (which, many times, I found out were not very accurate depictions of the person once I met them...so you can't even really count on photos).
I finally gave up on it, because it made me more depressed than not meeting ANYONE. But that's just MY experience. I know three people who met 'the one' on a dating website...(my ex husband included...heh)....
Reply:Yes it does kill spontaneity in dating.
I hate it and I would never date online. But maybe i'm biased cos i also hate facebook and myspace lol
Reply:That's a really good question, actually. I never thought about it that way.
But, there are certain things I want to know about a person before I date them (blame it on getting old, I don't have years to make mistakes or take my time, grin!)
I do want a certain level of education, income, occupation, etc. in a man - and I can match that with mine. I don't ask anything from a man that I don't bring to the table myself. And, in online dating, it's easier to specify that up front, before you've met anyone.
In person I probably would not reject a person for not meeting certain criteria, but online, there's no rejection - if a person doesn't meet the criteria I list, they don't even get matched with me and we'll never know.
Do I miss some nice guys that way? I'm sure I do.....
Good question.
Reply:Because online dating isn't real dating. It's nothing more than just a fantasy. Now, yes, you can get names, phone numbers, professions, and a few other little tidbits of info, but everything else needs to be learned as you go out to dinner, shows, this, that, or the other thing for the next year or two.
Reply:Nope, it makes it easier to find someone who is completely compatable, you know their intentions and have an idea of their long term goals.
I think that the only reason people think that you have to be desperate in order to do it is because of the back lash years ago. Now it is safe, secure, and you're virtually guaranteed to find someone who you will enjoy...

How do you date someone online? What exactly is online dating?
I thought in order to be "on a date", you went somewhere, like a restuarant, or movie, etc. I just don't understand the concept of online dating.
How do you date someone online? What exactly is online dating?
Online dating means you meet the person on a dating site, and then eventually meet them in the real world for a date.
Reply:haha yep they lie, cheat ,and pretend to be something there not most of the time.But that happens right in front of you too the only differance is its harder to hide when you see each other face to face.
Reply:You pick someone the way you want and make sure he/she does not sign off. As the gas, restaurants and movies are so expensive, online dating sound wonderful and it reduces the number of single moms.
Reply:it's becoming the new way of meeting someone 21st century style. but in a lot of ways not very safe. too many nut jobs out there
Reply:Its a thing where you meet people that are amazingly different from their photo.

For or against online dating?
Are you for or against online dating? Please explain why.
I'm asking this because one of my contacts posted a question about a guy she met online and received answers calling her a loser for going the online route.... And yet I've seen other questions where people are talking about their success stories. What's your take on this?
(Of course there are risks inherent in meeting someone face to face that you've only known online, so let's assume in our answers that those risks and the precautions to take are presumed and understood.) Thanks!
For or against online dating?
You have all the answers already. There is nothing basically wrong about on line dating as long as the people involved understand where to draw the line. You really have to pay a lot of attention if you are involved in an on line affair, 'cos what you are into is literally blind dating in all it's meaning.
Reply:there is absolutely nothing wrong with online dating! as long as people are honest, and it's something that they want to pursue, I say go right ahead!
obviously some people have met and married as a result of online dating.
Reply:i don't like it at all. it seems kind of weird. but apparently it works for some people.
Reply:I'm for it with caution and forethought. Your comments about knowing the risks and taking precautions should always be at the forefront when doing online dating. The good thing about online dating is there are so many more people than your local town. The down side, of course, is there are so many more people than your local town. In my case, I'm seeing a woman and we met online - but it turns out that we have a mutual friend and our worlds haven't been far from intersecting earlier.....so it's working out well.
Reply:i've dated fellows from online, and i don't think it means you are a loser. most of the guys i met online i would not have met another way (for example, some were sort of long-distance (in a different city) and even if we had been at the same function at the same time, like a ball game, who knows if we would have talked?). i think the online thing kind of helped to "weed out" guys that would have definately not have been my type (ex, maybe they had nothing better to talk about than getting drunk and stoned the night before). but, generally, online relationships did not work for me more than a year.
i had better luck by meeting people in real life (including my husband). these relationships would last over one to 3+ years.
but i do know people who have been very successful with eharmony. so, there you go.
Reply:I am definatly against it, to know whether you really like somebody, you need to meet them in person so you know they are not lying about too much...
