Only one from here but there only about 6 women with active profiles here within my search, but another site I've gone on a bunch of dates, Facebook works well for me too.

1 from here, and we dated for a couple of months. Didn't pan out. Met a couple from another site, barely made it through the first date, the one was gross, and the other an ***, and not in that cute, furry, braying noise kind of ***. Online or in person just doesn't seem to be working.

How many dates have you actually been on through internet dating?


I have met nine people from various dating sites (not this one).


Were they good?


Lord, no.


Also, how many people did you message before you finally got a serious response?


I think I only messaged one of them first.

My policy now is I never message anybody first. I like to think I've learned SOMETHING, even if I'm totally wrong about that.

I've been on this site for a few years, and was on Match.com for a little bit before I found this site.

Got 2 dates from match, both were ok but didn't amount to anything.

From here I've made loads of friends, met 5 guys and actually dated 2 of them (One for a few months the other for almost a year)

well, you do have to ask for a date to get one ... i found that out the hard way on another site... most say no to me, but it's always a matter of numbers... i mainly get dates from ladies i meet in the real world, but every now and then, i'll get one or 2 from sites like this. but you also have to remember, most of the forum people dont date that often on these sites. not sure why, but i think it has to with having friends on here, and not so much as dating.

I had one blind date through the internet. That mostly just fizzled out.

I haven't set up dates through dating websites but I've become good friends with a few really awesome girls and ended up dating some of their friends

Lately (in the last two months) I've found some really flaky guys, both online and in person. Hopefully that will change, though.

I sitll don't think online dating is that great.

first when I became a member I sent 5 messges to 5 different people none of them replied, so since then I have searched nor sent any messeges..... I am not expecting to find my next relationship on this site, I just like the forum.

You get out of it what you put into it. If you've given up after only 5 emails, you've given up way too quickly.

I got a date on here within my first week back in April ( think it was April) and also a few numbers etc, the date didn't work, we met twice, and did stuff but didn't work. Could of probably had another date or two, but because I had met the ohther I wasn't focusing on the others. I'm just on a new account checking it out again what im missing, don't know why, dating annoys me.

How many dates have you actually been on through internet dating? Were they good? Also, how many people did you message before you finally got a serious response?


It doesn't really matter what successes or failures others have had. It's just completely irrelevant to anything.

If you have been on here a year and haven't had a date yet, your obviously doing something wrong. Your probably sending long messages or something trying to chat, I got a date by just being straight forward, - do you have msn, chat for awhile, then lets meet. Just a tip

I am not a stalker!!! if I email a person once and that person doesn't reply, I will never email that person again... I don't care what they have to offer... of course unless it's business.

Obviously, I should stop preventing all of the compatible people from signing up here....

I wasn't saying you're a stalker at all. I was wondering why you simply gave up after only emailing 5 people.

Zero, I do much better in real life, I would of thought it the other way around. I know it sounds like bragging but it is not meant that way....I am routinely hit on by women 25 to 31 (four this year) in real life. I go out with them and are friends but tell them they are to young for a serious relationship. So I go online to find someone closer to my own age and I can't even get anyone to look at me...I am truly puzzled. Except the Philippines sites, A guy could get trampled to death!

P.S. I am open to suggestions and comments as to why this is not working for me.
I think you are great, love your profile, your sense of humor and your look. We live too far apart to start anything is all. You have to remember that the women your age have experienced more and know to be more careful so they don't get hurt. Those young ones see what they like and go for it without the fear that comes from having been burned. You have a lot to offer, you will find a great lady, you will just have to work at letting the more mature gals know risking their emotions is worth it.

I've been single less than two months and on here for just over one month. I've cancelled one date after actually talking on the phone to a guy that sounded great in print but said some things in conversation that just didn't sit well with me. I've emailed some really wonderful guys on here that just live too far away to be datable (is that even a word?) At least knowing that great guys are on here gives me hope that I can find one close to home.
