Are internet dating sites another alternative?

Sun, Oct 26, 2008

Q and A

internet dating
Lonely B asked:

I went on several, and I couldnt find a match or someone I’d like to write to. A lot of the girls there post pictures of them running around drunk, and have silly rants. There doesnt seem to be anyone that takes it seriously.
Dating in person might be the only way to do it.

    it is the only way to do it.
    i’d rather meet a person in the REAL world and truly know what i am getting into. =)

    You never know how you can meet someone, just dont worry about dating. Its when you least expect some one or a relationship is when you get one.

    well if you’re gonna date on the internet that’s the lowest way to go
    face to face is the only way dating should go…obviously ppl who have an issue dating in real life but can do it on the internet or over the phone have a serious issue that they have to do it some other way

    its the only way to see and meet the true person…

    NO. How about you just go to bars, volunteer, party, any social gatherings, that might be another alternative to meeting people.

    I met some really nice guys on the internet. I have been going out with one I met on the internet for 6 months now. You have to be picky – but hey, you only need one. Try Plenty of Fish – totally free. Put in your profile that you aren’t interested in party time, you are interested in finding a stable, loving mate for a long term relationship. Make it clear what you are looking for. And be picky. After you get to know them on the internet you do meet in person. Not like you pick them out of a line up on the internet and go off and get married right away. You still have to date in person.

    Those same people online, are people you meet offline as well…online just gives you the opportunity to connect with more people than you might in your typical offline life.

    Thinking that offline is better implies the people online never go out of their homes where they can meet people offline so you’re “safe” from them and their partying, rants, and baggage..

    How do you think they did the partying or got the baggage?

    The ‘net is a useful tool for meeting people that you might want to date offline…you just have to use good judgement, and weed through those that don’t really interest you…just as when you initially meet people offline.

    You can meet good people on the internet. Everyone isn’t comfortable with meeting people face to face or walking up to someone and start a conversation. I suggest you find a site that are for adults (still you will run into fakes and idiots). The free ones are where your going to find the most bs. Try match.com

  9. Glombudsman Says:

    Dating is what you make of it. Internet dating sites are very good if used correctly. They serve as a filtering process to narrow down your search to several possible women (or men for the ladies) that you find interesting and then you try to contact them. Actually the success rate for getting a response is much higher than a nightclub or the gym. You are correct to read the girl’s profile and read between the lines. Some are manhaters and this comes across in the ad, usually due to a bad break up they just had. Some have limited interests or are one dimensional – “I only like guys who are buff and go to the gym”. Best to look for one who does not express bad behavior in her ad. stay clear of the ones who have long lists of “I hate _xy and z___”. You get to see what she looks like from her pic which helps with deciding if your initial response to her is positive.

    At the very least give it a shot a few times. Remember to reply to several at one time and not limit your response to one or two. No reason to commit too early in the process. If you do it right, you will have no free nights during the week due to dating several lovelies at the same time. (-:

    Maybe the site you tried wasn’t the right one for you. There are so many out there.
    Have you tried ?
    That is a great site, my friends love it. It is free to join if you want to check it out. Have fun!

  12. Jennifer O Says:

    Why not try a different site, they are not all the same by any means.
    I met my boyfriend on
    I’m glad I hadn’t given up before joining, otherwise I would have never met him. Everything is 100% free on that site if you want to give it a shot.
