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
