Did online dating work for you?

did online dating ever work for you?





do you have any tips. I've tried it but I always delete my account because I am scared. THough I get tons of emails from cute guys. I am just S-C-A-R-E-D of who they are in real life and what they will think of me.

Did online dating work for you?
Personally, that's how I meet all of the women I go out with. I think it's a great way to meet people that I wouldn't have ordinarily been able to meet in real life. I think a lot of people think to themselves "well if you're so great, then why are you on this site?" I'm not a bar/club scene person AT ALL, and friends of a friends can only take you so far. It's been a pretty good experience for me all around. I've met some great women and some less than great women, but hey, isn't it like that anywhere? I actually met my ex online and may have something new with another great woman now from the same site. I should also mention that I'm not deceptive at all when it comes to anything from looks to status to whatever. Give it a try, but start out slow. I generally won't ask out a woman to meet for coffee until at least 3-4 emails and I usually call them up to ask them out to coffee as well...those phone calls usually last at least a half hour to an hour. If you follow this methodology, you can weed out a lot of potentially troublesome or deceptive people because they probably won't be able to make it that far. Something that always cracked me up is how women won't think twice about giving their phone number to, kissing (or doing more) with a guy they just met at a club/bar. Yet when they find someone online, everyone is automatically a closet serial killer until proven otherwise lol. Just use common sense and a little bit of caution and I think you just might be surprised :).
Reply:I actually tried it and met someone i was conversing in public. I'm still talking with him. I was very scared, but I know enough about public information to check up on some of the things he told me. There were also a few tricks i used to tell if he was lying at times. You really have to use your common sense. Don't fall hard for someone immediately. Be honest, be REALISTIC. If something doesn't seem right, don't go any further.
Reply:yes, and i am so happy !
Reply:I met someone online via friends....needless to say though I was told a lot of stories by this man and it ended up me giving him the ultimatum....after being informed by someone that she was his significant other. It is hard to determine the real truth of stories someone tries to tell you. I think I would almost go on set up blind dates via real life friends before going online to find it.
Reply:no
Reply:well u should get to know them 1st butttttttt then i dont recomend it because they can be fakes and they could lie about their age
Reply:nope!


you are so right. can never trust someone 'invisible'. just remember what your parents used to say....don't trust any stranger.
Reply:Nope i tried one and all the ones said there where locals where actually from another country trying to get money and i payed money for this site. So i lost money and never found anyone. And i did ask for a refund to my credit card for all the spammers on there. So better to walk the streets with a banner saying you are single and looking than try the Internet dating sites.

Reply:yeah it can be scary cause there a lot and i mean a lot of creeps out there but i found my true love and u can to , just be very careful to the ones that u talkin to they mostly after one thing
Reply:Online dating worked for me. I had two rather meaningful relationships with women I met online. You have as much chance of meeting an idiot in RL as you do online, but at least online you get the chance to meet people you may never have run into in your local enviroment and they may be excatly what you are looking for
Reply:It works for some people. I have three friends who met their spouses via an online dating service. It has never worked for me, however. I think I'm too much of a true romantic, and I think online matchmaking (or any other kind of matchmaking, for that matter) only works for people who approach love relationships from a more "practical" angle, if you know what I mean. It's great for people who basically just have a list of criteria they're looking to fill. But if you're looking for "that magical relationship you've waited for all your life", it's probably not going to happen this way unless you're just extremely lucky.





I WILL say that I've made a few pretty good "guy friends" through online dating, though.
Reply:thats were I got to know my girlfriend better.


But I knew her from offline.
