Do online Dating websites really work? What experiences have you had of them?
Yes, I've used online dating websites. I met 3 different men. The first one, I had a relationship with outside the website for about 3 months. He decided to let his wife, whom I was lead to believe he had divorced, move in with him. She then proceeded to clean him out and he tried to hook back up with me. Cost of that little episode, $200.00 for adding him to my cell phone bill and having to cancel his phone early. The second guy, I met him face to face at a Dairy Queen to talk. DID NOT hit it off, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and went on a second date. It was the longest night of my life. I emailed him and told him we just didn't click, his response was to ask me if we could just have sex with each other!!! The third guy, I met him face to face at Taco Bell. We didn't really hit it off, but I invited him for dinner at my house about a week later. Seven months later, we got married!!! We've been married for four months now, and I don't regret this decision for one minute!!! He is the best guy, and perfect for me. Yes, I had been married before, so this is my second marriage.

Reply:All of the guys are desperate Losers.....Im sorry if there are actually any nice ones but all the ones I met were porno freaks...*puke*
Reply:A lot of the people on those sites are just there for that 'bit on the side'. There are some genuine people-but they are drowned out by the people who are in relationships/married who go on there to screw around.

Reply:NO! they dont work. I'm only 14, but i know they dont. How are "they" gonna find your "soul mate" if not EVERYONE joins the website? SEE!?!? THEY CANT! B/c not everyone join'd the website they could hook u up w/ the wrong person...u dont want that. Just pray about it %26amp;%26amp; God will bring them when it's his time. You'll know when it's "the one".
Reply:I've dated a few guys that I met on a website. Some were great, others were a great disapointement! But it's good to be able to talk before on the internet. You get an idea! It's also a very positive thing for very shy people.


My sis met her boyfriend on a website. They went on a few dates and it clicked well. They have a lovely baby now and live together happily. It's worth a try!
Reply:To me, the idea of online dating is a casual one. Don't expect to find anyone committed or serious towards to you, rather, be open minded and just make as many friends as we can.


I've met quite a lot of them in person already. All of them are polite and nice...


For girls just take note on the time and venue of meeting, if its a casual lunch meeting, then don't worry so much.


If its meeting at night, then suggest a venue with lots of people so that it'll be safer.


Yeah, hope this helps ^_^
Reply:I have only ever had scammers, idiots and timewasters contact me through such mediums, but if you stick at it long enough and learn to weed out the scamming scum etc. and be patient you may be lucky. The main problem is that the sites themselves do not do enough to stop spamming and scamming.
Reply:Yes it does work. I met an stunner. She melted my heart and now getting married and kid onthe way. However, there are a huge number of players and serial daters out there because Its the best and fastest route to meeting new people. Its Fab. But be picky and keep your pants on. There will be preditors everywhere. I know that because I was one before she melted my heart.





So that both sides of the deal.

Reply:YES THEY DO I JUST MET MY NEW GIRLFRIEND ON YAHOO PERSONALS I THINK SHES A KEEPER
Reply:I believe they can work if you stay grounded and know what it is you want. I met a guy online chatting site. We chatted for 8mths before meeting.. there was a huge distance between us. We got on well online which carried through to meeting physically. We dated for a year, travelling back and forth every month. It was a great boost for me cos i hadnt been dating for 4yrs and to have that kind of attention and 'love' was great. However it finished abruptly and rather unpleasantly by him. And made me feel very insecure and unsure about them. But i have made many good friends online. Just not my true love as yet.
