Internet Dating. Does it work?

Cato2605

Hi Guys,

Was wondering what people thought of Internet dating. I am tired of meeting a guy in the pub, swapping numbers going on a couple of dates and then nothing after that. I have had numerous of these situations in the last year and am getting tired of it. I dont want to jump into a serious relationship but would like to meet someone and have a good time. Maybe just have something with a bit of promise of more than 2 dates.

I was thinking of trying internet dating. Does anyone have any advice or experiences of how it went for them.

This question comes up a few times per week. Use the search function.

I think its something you really have to judge for yourself. No two peoples experiences are going to be the same.

For some people it does work, for others it dosen't. Alot of it has to do with your online persona. If you come across as a cu*t online, people just wont be interested. But the only way to find out is to give it a try.

tbh

you don't see yourself as a freak or weird or anything right? and you're considering an internet dating site. So it's probably safe to assume that most other people on internet dating sites are normal as weel. Give it a go! you're an intelligent person, use your common sense and you'll be fine.

I met my current GF through maybefriends, have been together for the past 4 years, I can work once u get past the small % looking for a quick ride. I guess it depends on what your looking for.

I think once people get over the whole "issue" with it being online and realising that it's no different really than meeting someone in a pub it'll become pretty normal.

I'd say you have as much chance or maybe even better of meeting someone you have a few things in common with online...

Good luck

I use plentyoffish myself. There are some great catches in my area Just put some pictures of yourself up, right a quick bio and seeing how your the lady part: sit and wait

I have been on a dating website for quite a while now and I have had some great experiences for it. It's no more random than meeting someone in a pub except people are mostly genuine on it and not full of alcohol.

The only thing i'd say is, give it time as you will get loads of mail from people looking for 1 night stands and things like that. As with everything though, you have to go through the worst to find the best so give it time and it will work for you!

PM me if you want and I can show you my online profile on the dating site I use. You might get an idea of what it's like.

Searched for you

I met my future hubby thru anotherfriend.com. I went on a few dates and even made a few friends.
Once you get over the cupla weirdoes that might message you and ask you questions like "do you enjoy wearing wellies while blow drying your hair"?it can work out well!!

met my bf on lavalife about 6 years ago and still going strong, def for life this one We cahhted online and over the phone for a few months until we met, and when I met, I knew it was going to be something special.

I agree there are a % who only want sex, however, like metalgear says, if you look passed this you might find someone. Give it a chance, what have you to lose? Just be careful and tell someone where and when you are going to meet someone.
