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: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..

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.
