Online Dating

[tnshpalmer85]

Has anyone every tried online dating and if you did, How was your experience? I am thinking of trying it but I feel kind of weird about setting up a profile and all that. I 'm just not sure about online dating and I would feel kind of embarrassed if I found someone I knew on there.

I've tried online dating, and in my experience, people can fake their identity to the hilt.  Not a good idea!

I tried POF but I had no luck.  I got a lot of response for a while but no one I felt was right -some were too far away and a few were downright weird although not many.  I just deleted my profiles on POF and a christian dating site.  Had no luck on there at all.  I personally have just decided that either I will find someone on my own or I guess be alone.  I was married for 34 years and I don't know I struggle with even wanting someone else.  Well either way best of luck to you.

A friend of mine does it. She actually just met someone who so far seems like a great guy.

I've tried it too, no luck. Everyone is just playing games and never wants to actually go out on a date.
The ones that do want to get together only want one thing.

I prefer doing the dating game, the old fashion way...

I've tried this. Sometimes people lie in their profiles. That's the bad thing about online dating. It's hard to tell if someone is being honest. That's why I prefer face to face dating. No lies about height, weight, whether they're in another relationship, etc... If you do meet someone, please be sure to do it in a public place and don't give them your personal info, like where you live or work. Good luck.

It appears to be a pretty cool way to meet people. I have been married for twenty three years and met my wife the old fashioned way: introduce by a family member, several phone calls, cocktails, dinner, picnics in the park, etc. I have more of a problem with people not respecting my wedding ring and wanting to form a relationship than I do meeting new people. This is kind of weird since I am locked to a desk for sixteen to eighteen hours a day with very little human interaction. Friends and clients, these days, update their profiles weekly and meet strangers for coffee breaks. This appears to work, for more outgoing people, because the coffee breaks often lead to second and third dates. I am not sure how this would work for more introverted people.

Actually I met my husband online and we are together now for 6 years. Happy and contented. We are just lucky that we found each other, because there so many fake accounts and dishonest people.

Then I would not do it.  If it has to be a secret and you do not want anybody to know you are doing it then you should not do it.  If you are SINGLE then I don't see it as wrong.  But people can be whomever they want to online.

Ive tried it. First contact I thought was legit ended up asking for money within the first week.  LOL. I did date someone for awhile but the distance was a problem so it didn't work out.
Just be careful.

I think it can be a good idea if you know how to filter through the phonies!  I just think it's kind of crappy you have to pay for some of them. My cousin found his wife on POF, I believe, so it can be worth it. 

[AdedotunOlufunke]

I kinda love something happening naturally, meeting someone out on the streets  and at least having a story to tell about the reaction we both felt when we saw each other the very first time means a lot to me. It's not about the story anyway, that is just what I love best.

[hkckk5]

I do not think that I would ever try that. However I do know someone who did and has now been married to the person she met online for the past 12 years.

Nothing but a ripoff especially for men   Both men and women post phony profiles so you really take a risk
