Has online dating really worked for anyone?

Just wondering if anyone has used online dating like personals and got results. Is it worth signing up for the option to do email? Any complaints? I once signed up for the service but I didn't like the automatic renewal feature (you get a short window of time to cancel otherwise you automatically are renewed for another 6 months or so) and I also received some weird email. It's hard to tell who you are really dealing with. Has anyone had a good experience?

The girl I'm with now I met online. Overall, it al depends on who/what you're looking for and who/what you find that determines wether or not it is right for you.

Reply:Online dating is like REAL LIFE dating... (partly because it is) ...you gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince. It's just a another way to meet people. And it's very efficient because you can meet people faster and learn about them faster. (and cheaper!) The downside is that it's easier to lie and hide things about ones-self. Of course, the wall comes crumbling down when you meet in person for real. (Always in a very public place!) Always be treat it serious, it's not nice to toy with anothers emotions.





I've met a lot of really nice people via online dating. One lady in specific was beautiful and well ... nearly perfect. We met in real life and dated for several months. We where both totally in love. But something "outside" happened and we're not in the same state any longer. Those things happen.





However, my uncle met his wife online and they chatted for weeks, met in real life and are now happily married! Have been for about 3-5 years.





It can happen for you - online - but you'll have to look hard.
Reply:For one the personal team or company hire people to read the email before you get it to the person If they dont like it the sender does not recieve it. I used personals but I did not get the results. that was about 3-4 years ago plus you have to pay for it. Personals are not as forward as it is to chat with someone with Yahoo Messenger and really get to see them on cam or voice chat. My husband and I met on Yahoo Messenger. We are a match made in heaven. Forget personals when you can get to know the person for free. All you need is web access.

Reply:Dating online has become a great way to meet people. To get to know each other easier. All the basic facts are right there on a page. Take it slow and get to know each other. I have had good luck meeting girls online. I had a couple good relationships that just didn't work out. I say go for it! It is worth a shot.
Reply:No idea. But I did meet a great girl from Yahoo about 2 years ago and it has been great!
