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.

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. :)
Reply:Come one, dont put yourself down thats what makes girls uninterested in the first place... lack of confidence!!
