Are online dating (teen dating) sites worth the effort?

I have been single for about 2 years now. I am 15 and very sick of trying to get with people at my school because it never seems to work out at all. I have known just about everybody at my school my entire life so its not like I can go up to talk to one and have them interested right away because they know everything about me.





I found a teen dating site and was wondering if it was even worth the effort to try and find someone through a online dating service. Does anybody have any exsperiance with this?

Are online dating (teen dating) sites worth the effort?
Well, I guess it really depends on the site, right? You don't want to end up dating a forty-year-old man... Or you could just end up on a sight full of horny computer nerds, who only desire to have cyber sex.


Personally I find online communication A LOT more honest than real communication. I admit a lot to my online friends that I wouldn't say to my regular friends.


But it can also be the opposite. The internet, is basically, anonymous. You might not be dating who you think you are. And if you are, you still don't have their life, past, family, social standing, habits, physical appearance, and many other things in the way of your relationship which may make it harder in the future. Virtual-ity is our own reality, but real reality - we have to share that with the world, and many relationships don't last with that sort of pressure.


I'm thirteen myself, and it drives me crazy that there's no one at my school that I can really see myself having a romantic relationship with, but then I remember how young we are, and how much more change we'll go through, with college, and experience. Basically, I've come to realize that your high school sweetheart might not be someone you end up spending the rest of your life with, but rather a distraction for that time, or someone to fool around with.


We've grown up in a society that basically grinds it into our heads that we need a partner in life, so much that we often feel inadequate without a boyfriend/girlfriend.


I'd say keep all of that in mind when you're doing this - if you still choose to. Or you can always ring me up. ;]


But seriously, where did you find a teen dating site? That sounds like such a trap set by internet predators...
Reply:a)you are fifteen.


"dating" isnt worth it unless you can drive.


wait for your license bud.





b)dating sites are CRAPPPP it isnt a real relationship.





c)my advice: hang out with girls you know. become their friend, but flirt too. then you can make the move.
Reply:Dude, youre 15! Dont go to online dating thingys! what if you meet a girl you really care for and that girl is an old man sitting in the front window of his house with no pants on on the computer! And its not even worth it because that person will FOR SURE cheat on you with a REAL guy. AND if the person lives far away than whats the point?! you would go yo school and say "and yo i got a girlfriend!" ur friends would be like "lemmi meet her" and you would be like "she's my online girl friend". they would laugh and think you were lying! ON MORE RESON this person could be a pervert and ask you for your information and kiddnap you and do horribhle stuff to you! uuuuugh! just thinking about it gives me the "heeebetabajeebiiz" dont do it dude!
Reply:yes im looking for some one too im 13 though so i don't try too much

You're only 15.








I'm 16 and I've never had a boyfriend before.


And it's not that I'm ugly or crazy or something...


there are MANY boys interested in me.


It's by CHOICE.








Don't feel so alone.


There are plenty of girls in your school, (assuming you go to public school,) that you could talk to. Try and get to know them better--build friendships, and see where it goes from there.





And please, don't resort to online dating.


It's lame and weird and it probably doesn't work. =]
Reply:ur 15!! wait awhile.

Reply:Wow age 15 and thinking of joining a online dating service. Get out more. You don't have to just date someone from school, how about someone near where you live etc or a club etc.
