I'm newly single and trying online dating...Has anyone had any luck with it?

I just joined an online dating site called http://212fling.com and was wondering if anyone else had experience with the online dating scene.





If you've had successful encounters online, may you please tell me what's the best site, and how much should I expect to pay.

I found my wonderful boyfriend on Craigslist, and we have been together now for over a year.





Just be careful, follow your gut, and meet in a public place.
Reply:well fling is for not really dating is more like hit it and leave.....If you want to find a real date try match.com or datehookup.com is free............you can email all day long for free...
Reply:Dating online seems to be the new trend. Some people use sites like myspace.com, eharmony, blackplanet.com, urbanchat.com, match.com





It all depends on whether you're willing to spend money for it or not. Be careful, sometimes online predators leach themselves to a lot of these sites, so play it safe and try not to give out too much personal info about yourself.





Also, check your local community listings, sometimes they have local dating services.
Reply:Well ...wouldn't call it a successfull encounter ...unless you call just having the best sex of my life "successful" ...LOL





Seriously ..met who I thought was a great guy online yahoo personals ....we went out for awhile ...said he wanted all the same things as me (i was just out of a 10 year marriage) ...then I slept with him ..and *poof* he was gone. Ah well ...at least I have the memories !! LOL





Just take it slow ...don't let anyone use you ..use your best judgement ...meet in a public place ...it can be a good experience !!





Good luck, and best wishes !

I was so skeptical about online dating at first... I thought it was desperate and silly. But then Andrew wrote me, and he was exactly [[and I mean EXACTLY to the T]] what I was looking for and even more. We chatted online for about 2 months before we actually met... and when we finally did it was even better. I can't wait to have a family with him some day!





So do it - just be careful... there are a lot of creeps out there, but the perfect guys do exist!
