Online Dating? Why doesn't it work?

If you think online dating doesn't work why do you feel that way?

Online Dating? Why doesn't it work?
Because there is a true lack of honesty online. People can be anyone, or anything, they want to be. They don't consider they may eventually meet someone someday and paint themselves to be much more than what they are.





Oh, there are success stories, to be sure, but generally speaking most people who use online dating are living in a world of romance they normally don't get to experience. They get to say things and have things said to them they never hear/read.





Online dating feeds egos and allows a person to feel good about themselves in a fantasy world.
Reply:One ..anyone can write down what you want to hear? You have to be in front of that person so you can really see what there like not just what they write.. Never had any luck with on line dating ..Those dating sites suck too..I've had the worst dates of my life meeting people on those sites..most aren't like there profiles at all..nor do they look like there pic's ...met a guy on dating site I knew (or thought I knew what he looked like) but he had no Idea what I looked like because I won't put pic's up But I will send one. Anyway we met at a nice restaurant..I got there first and when he walked in I didn't know it was the same person looked as though he was pregnant with triplets and he was very rude and kept eating off my plate when I was done with dinner..now we just met this wasn't a romantic dinner with some one I knew..Are all you guys so rude on a first date because that's all I've met;
Reply:Hmm. It works and doesn't work. Depends on how to go about it. I've known a lot of people that have had success from online dating. You just have to be open to it.
Reply:Who said it doesn't work? I met my bf through the net and we are together for 1month+ so far. If you just want to keep the date online, it's not going to work because it's not going anywhere if you don't take it on to the next step when you don't let the love move on to reality.
Reply:I think that it works for some people, but I have come to the conclusion that it probably doesn't work for me. (I am a 34 yr old guy). Most of the women seem to be looking for an instant connection with someone. I'm not an easy person to figure out. . . and it takes a longer time to get to know me and appreciate my qualities. I just don't think I'm enough of a salesman for the online dating thing to work for me.
Reply:wow, i have alot to say about online line relationships, but i'll try to keep it short ^-^ ( i'll talk about my last one)


1.) he lived all the was across the country (me, virginia and him cali)


2.) the whole time diffrence thing drived me crazy ( he was three hours behind me)


3.) i always wanted to talk to him, and i always wanted him to be on the computer, but i had to realize that he has a life


4.) er...he was kinda on the run from the cops so...it was like we talked for a few days and the nothing. i hated that sooo much!!


5.) also, he was 19 and im 15, but i dont think age is/was a problem


6.) i wanted to meet him. i wanted us to always be together..but i knew that was never gonna be possible


7.) i THOUGHT he was like..the perfect one for me, but i was wrong


8.) and of course, my parents OR friends didnt approve


lol, i kinda think i got off topic but thats what i had to go through in my long-distance thing and im never gonna do another one!
