Its not easy meeting people and online is just as safe as anywhere else. Its a prefernce to me over bars, just gotta have an open mind.

I came cuz of a really bad break up I had bout a year and a half ago.wanted to try something new

Its a shame yes but not all guys are like that,I'm definently not. Just check out their profiles more closely

Lol we sure are beastly

I wasn't really looking to date, just to have people to talk to that I could say how I felt without them wanting to fix me.

A very lively thread, I like it.-) I turned to online dating so that I was no longer limited to my city/country

I met my ex on something similar over 8 years ago and we've only recently broken up, we have a one month old little girl. I was hoping I'd find my someone special again, hopefully this time they will be the real deal.

Well I'm not a bar guy and I don't pick up well on causal flirts in the grocery stores

to be honest ?
i am looking for true love..mmmm! sounds weird huh? but i am...i had been hurt from the past and been single for more than two years..now,i wanna try online relationship..hahhahahaha!

Its easy,safe at times and also meeting opposite partners with same purpose... Waiting for mine.

I have decided to try online "introductions" because I have never found bars and clubs to be good places to meet woman. I don't do church, not because I dont believe in a greater creator (hey, that kinda rhymes!) but I would have a difficult time blending into a large group. I am not an anti social guy at all. I just never sought out relationships in a calculated way. Life is busy.

Attractive women who want to meet in the Walnut Creek, eastbay CA area, or living within driving distance

I began online "dating" because I'm really really, really ridiculously GOOD looking. Think about it. Why would ONLINE dating be more beneficial for this predicament? There you go, now you get it.

Because I wanted to meet a lot of women with baggage and bitter attitudes. You know the type, where the things I say and do in their imagination is more important than what I say and do in real life. Who apparently did not get to express all their anger to the one who broke their hearts, so they have to dump it on the next guy they meet. Like the lady who flipped out when I went to the bathroom in a restaurant, because her ex used to bang waitresses in the bathroom (maybe if I took a ten minute dump there I would have seen her point, but who can get comfortable in a strange, public bathroom?)

Actually, I talk for a living and get real tired of doing it all the time, but I can type.

Ok, what drove me to online dating:
1. small town
2. teacher
1+2=3 everyone knowing your business and potentially affecting your career
4. single parent raising three children without familial support
5. don't drink or smoke- makes for awkward bar visits
6. traveled all over the country and different parts of the world, want to find a woman who is open-minded in regards to the world as a whole
7. Figure it's easier to get rid of the BS this way
8. like meeting and chatting with new people

PERSONALY FOR ME WAS A BREAK UP, AND THEN REALIZE SITING AT HOME ALONE NOT GONA MAKE ME ANY HAPPIER, WITH NO ONE TO TALK TO SO HERE I AM

I think that if you are under 30, you should be out there meeting people not online! Don't send me hate mail young people!

Im just saying that you guys are young and full of energy and USUALLY less baggage! Start fresh with someone. Rather then get online and become disillusioned with some of the a**holes on dating sites.


Again.. my opinion. I have a 22 yr old daughter and I want her to enjoy her dating life like I did at 22!

My CPU does not encompass human peer bonding.

Are you serious? If so awww that's cute. If not, you're funny. Thanks for the laugh

Like many others here, I came to this site in hopes of meeting that special someone who spends more time at home than out in the social scene. I personally enjoy bars, food markets, church, or just sitting on my front porch to meet people. This was the first site that allow people to converse without paying for an upgrade. Go mingle.....
