Internet dating is helping many people to get a date. Surfing the Web gives people the opportunity to come in contact with others of whom they never would have met otherwise.

1/3 of All relationships today start Online. One good. Venue !However, that still leaves some, without making any connection.

its becames more addiction to be on line than just looking for date or special one

hmmmm daiting mean are not a bad ... bcz 5 fingerzzz are not equal soooo .chnge thinking ..... any women wanna frndship r sm 1 else so cntct wid me

Match is the best. I've had 2 first meets since rejoining last Thursday.
Had many meets before, when I was a member.

I tried Match, had no luck..now I stick to free sites where i don't pay for the privilege of being ignored.
If it worked for you...that's good....
Different sites work better for different people.

A male friend told me 2yrs ago, that was the Best.

I met both my last partners via the net too.
A friend who had almost given up on men, decided to give it one more whirl on a dating site. She met someone real soon as in almost right away, now some 2 years ago, and they got married in November.
My girlie also met her BF via a dating site, it happens more and more.

I met the guy i was with before my late husband (8 yars) back when they had singles ads in the newspaper.
No pictures, of course..we chatted for about 2 weeks before we met, and were together for 8 years...

My late husband I met at the laundromat..
I know people think only trashy, low income people go to laundromats, but that isn't true....
I've been using laundromats for 30 years...

Well,
Its a fantastic way to meet new people(aside from the creeps),and making friends!

I have had a few good meets,made real friends and a date or two(though nothing substantial yet).…but who knows!!
There are some good peeps online,so,i'd def recommend it,especially to those who dont get much time to socialise,but can get a few minutes to check in while on lunch break!! ️

It is not too bad to meet nice people online first. But beware of disappointments. Someone, who was supposed to be a friend, disappeared all of the sudden ... but, this can happen in real life as well

aaawwwww ️️️

That can actually be traumatising !

I realised,people met online have a tendence of disappearing,especially while still getting to know each other online!
Hard for some people to say"you are not doing it for me" than disappear without a trace(Gone with the wind!!)
So,
Would be best if one goes slow on investing self,and go a step at a time...

It is fashionable for dating online.More and more people want to make dating online because it is convienent,fast and fashion.But you need to care more about your online friends because many memers online are setted in a fake profile，they are cheater just lie to people for money.You should learn to know what is real and which is false

Great if you are a woman, sucks if you are a man!!

~sigh~

WHY do guys persist in that lame, tired trope..

We DON'T get tons of messages...
Maybe if you are a woman under 35...
Maybe, if you are conventionally pretty..

But the few women *I* know get what *I* get..scammers.....
Or we get the clowns wanting a mommy figure ("cougar")

But, no..it is *just* as hard and demeaning a slog for the women as it is for the guys...

I really don't know why grown-a** adults can't simply say "I don't think we'd be compatible"....rather than ignoring someone who is making a sincere effort to get to know someone..
If they then persist...simply block them...
I *always* acknowledge a sincere message from non-scammer..if I don't think we'd be compatible, i say that..(although I get very, very few messages from real, legit people)
(scammers with their copy-pasted stereotypical messages just get ignored)

I don't want to hear that BS ""no reply is a reply"..
That's *still sh***y behaviour if you have been having conversation with someone and they suddently just quit replying.

But then..it's probably an indicator that they would be equally as lax/ no better at communication when they are actually *in* a relationship...so, bullet dodged..

To actually find or meet someone that suits what someone is looking for probably is. Most dating sites are set up to cater to women because there are more men looking than women and they need female members. While there are restrictions on men, most have no restrictions on women. Many sites allow women to have significant restrictions on who can message them so you won't see many messages. It is your choice on what restrictions you want on messaging but that directly determines how many and from who you can receive messages.

I understand..
But if I don't want someone more than a couple hours away...I have a right to that "restriction"..
There seems to be a LOT of guys on these sites that can't be bothered to drive more than 20-30 miles...
Heck, I drove further than THAT for groceries, where I lived in the mid-late 90's..and where my late husband and I lived...LOL

I would readily drive an hour to meet someone...and, if it is further..we could meet at a halfway point..
And, if it is further, and we do the halfway meet...and find we hit it off...I'd readily relocate.. :-)

I don't know what other "restrictions" you refer to..
We all have prefernces as far as age range, ethnicity, maritial status (if I am looking for someone to have a relationship with, why the h*** would I want someone who is already married/ dating someone?)...and so forth..

Do tell..what "restrictions" are you referring to?

Also, you said: "because there are more men looking than women"

That goes counter to what I hear..that there are more single *women* than men out there....
(I don't know what all age group that applies to, though)

This is so True !

The men I have met on Paid sites will Travel ! Many Travel for first meeting.
I met men Hours away from me.

Most free sites. Men play !!

I had a guy that live just under an hour away tell me I was "too far"..

Some background:
This is a city i go to several times a month..doctors office...cultural things..etc..
Was there every week in August..
Yet *this* clown who lives *there* said I was "too far away"..
Whatever..

He should have figured that out right away based on my location..and said so initially.
But, we all know guys don't read profiles...just generaly look at the pictures, then fling a message at ya...


If perhaps it was just his spineless way of saying after we had been chatting a bit that he wasn't interested..he should have been an adult and said *that*...not that the distance was too far..

I actually had one guy some months back get an attitude with me that I didn't inform him how far away I was from him initially...
Dude, that isn't MY responsibilty...YOU are responsible for reading a profile and making that decision *before* you message someone..not after..

I think the Real problem is just meeting a gentleman ONLINE.

There are a few but a small percentage compared to how many Thousands on one date site alone.

Men play on datesites they like meeting women for hookups. Not many Young women even want just that.

They also want hookups around the corner are across town. So they don't have to Pay anything for traveling.

I am so pleased when I meet men, who don't do that. sometimes that takes a while. Especially if. FREE site.
