Should I Try Online Dating?

I'm a 21 year old college student and i had success in the past when it came to dating but for the last year and half or so, i have had a lot of trouble finding single girls. Its not that i am shy around girls or have no clue what i am doing, for the life of me, i can not find anyone who is single. Nearly every girl i meet isn't just in a relationship but it will be one of those "i've been dating this guy since i was 12" or something like that. Nearly every girl i meet, i have no chance of being able to get a date with, just due to circumstances. Is online dating advisable or would i be better off just doing it the old fashioned way, even if it hasn't worked since summer of 2006?

Should I Try Online Dating?
I'm dont really support the online dating, but i've been told that it works for some people. But i definitely don't think it's the best thing for u to do right now, just because you cant find someone at this time, does not mean this special someone is not out there. when the time is right, u will find her, one way or the other. u've had a experience finding girls the old fashioned way, so it shouldnt be a problem for u. most people lie too much on line, at least close up u can figure it out easily.


Best of luck to you
Reply:Try it! It's not for everyone and sometimes you get some real weirdos and just plain deperate people who just want sex, but othertime you'll find great genuine people who are fun and loyal and good looking (like myself :P) who you can meet and date. :)
Reply:you can meet some cool people try plentyoffish if nothing else the forums are good-a bunch of confused ppl everywhere

Reply:I highly recommend it.





I dated often, but my 'type' (or what I thought was my type) was not working out for me. A friend suggested I meet as many different types as possible to see what my type really was. So I tried online dating for 60 days. I chatted with many. Spoke to several on the phone and dated 3.





The third date and I will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary in 3 days.
Reply:Just check some dating skills carefully at http://link.wealthychats.com and you will find you can deal with this yourself. Online dating is not as easy as our thoughts.
Reply:I would keep at it the old fashioned way but you could at the same time try on-line dating and see what you think. You will need to approach the whole thing with limited expectations. You could meet the love of your life but you are also likely to connect with some people who don't represent themselves in a totally honest way, so be cautious. That having been said I do know of one person who actually ended up meeting their future wife on eHarmony. Also, if you do decide to go the on-line route remember to put together your profile honestly and in a way that is likely to appeal to the type of girls you want to meet.





Take care and good luck.
Reply:I wouldn't. A lot of people just make a bunch of fake profiles. And then you'll probably just end up getting screwed over when you find out that they aren't who they say they are.

Reply:Havent tried the online dating thing myself but a few friends have tried it, met someone, gone out, etc etc and they havent had any problems with it. Id say go for it.
Reply:If you do it safely I advise it. My husband and I met online right here on Yahoo! personals. We have been married for almost 6 years now. My advice...


-Don't use a pay service (there's just no reason to)


-Take it slow. -talk online, then the phone, work up to meeting and when you meet do it in a public place.


-Don't do the long distance thing. Meet someone near you.





Good luck!! My husband was your age when we met I definately recommend it as long as you do it safely!!
Reply:dude honestly i dont think you will be better off going online...talking to "some girl" who could be a 40 year old desperate perv..





you never know what the world will put in front of you





and dude,, the world is never safe..online dating will just make things worse in my opinion.





maybe you should just go out more despite of how hard college is a w/e...





but thats just my opinion/
Reply:No. Don't.
Reply:Loser...
Reply:i hear you man, but screw it. There are 8 times as many guys, as there are girls who are single online..





why?





all girls need to do is walk outside and they can get dudes, but for guys, we are all still supposed to be the one who starts everything
Reply:i wouldnt recommend it
Reply:most of them are fake
Reply:Yes online dating works and it's way easier to meet people online. I know of 3 couples personally that have met through online dating. Online dating is the new form of dating. I can understand why you're a little scared, but you it can work and it will work for you. If I were you I would use online dating because your chances of meeting local girls are much greater, because there are soo many people using online services. Good luck!
