I think dating sites take the same amount of time as meeting someone in a bar/ club. You talk/ dance... get to know them. If it works out you get their number or they get yours. Either it's a hit or miss. Dating sites only increases the amount of people you meet in a shorter amount of time but that's it.  I don't understand why so many people expect instant results just because it's online, online doesn't mean desperate, it's just another medium, as you said.

How you meet has little to do with finding, holding and keeping love. It's how strong the rope is. |

I'm kinda glad this isn't E-harmony or Chemistry, or I probably wouldn't even be on the forums to post if it was. Both of those sites had told me I was unmatchable, that I was a reject. Won't even get started with Match, because everything on that you need to pay for 1st. I say F- that! Even if I don't end up meeting anyone as a partner for myself on here, at least Mingle2 has these enchanting forums to have fun with while searching! 
I got a match from e-harmony and he was an abuser. Another one was just looking for a mom for his kids and someone to take care of his kids. Another one was a cross dresser and wanted to try on my clothes. Be glad you didn't get any matches there. Lots of whackos. Good to know here I thought that because you have to pay for to be on those sites and you have to be very true aabout yourself, freaks or whackos wouldn't infiltrate those sites |

Not looking for instant results necessarily, I wanted to know from the years I've been on this site some people may have joined longer or more recently, do you ever find anyone for long term not hookups. But I really can't ask that when I think about it because there are people in real life who are still single and looking. |

I got rejected the first time I tried eharmony also. It was b/c I do not attend church. Next time I applied I put my religion differently and was accepted. However they didn't find me any matches.

So is it better to find your matches yourself clicking all through a bunch of profiles or people doing that for you? |

They'll create an account and by the end of the day are upset because they haven't found "the one." I didn't mean you specifically, but there are lots of new users who think that dating via the internet means instant gratification. |

I can concur truthfully I felt that same way the first time I ever joined a site. I am now realizing the reality of these sites and internet dating |

It can happen. Few and far but I have known two people who did find their wife or husband from a dating site. Therefore, it is possible.
