Online dating!

auntdeedee87

Have you tried it? Did it work? What sites did you try?

I'm interested in hearing horror stories and success stories alike!

My fella and I met online and its working out splendidly. But before him there was trial and error! Haha.

Anyone?

I haven't done online dating, but I keep getting e-mails in my box from Seniordating.com and cougar dating websites....I'm 24! I love spam

I met my husband on eHarmony. He's awesome. We now have 2 kids and have been married for what feels like forever.

I met my b/f online through eharm and we've been together for over 3 years...at the time he was stationed in New Mexico and I was in Indiana...after we started talking we discovered out parents lived like a mile away from each other...thought it was crazy!

I won't say I've done online dating, but there was a time when I was about 18 where I talked to guys on chatlines. That turned out bad. VERY bad. I refuse to do it again. Ha. I'm 25 now, so I have grown a lot in the last 7 years.

I tried it a few times. I used okcupid and yahoo dating. I met this one guy online and we talked over IM and then phone for a few months, then we met. We went out for a drive and then we went to visit a friend of his that worked at a toy store. We found his friend and we walked around. Then the guy saw a couple of his other friends, and they left without me. I was stranded in a part of town that I was unfamiliar with, and the cab ride back to my dorm room was 40 bucks. I never heard from him again after that.

Yes I've done dating sites from Match.com to eHarmony and OKCupid. Nothing stuck so far though the father of my son I met through a site. Can't say it's all bad since I get my little guy out of it.

He's really my little blessing.

I've met some really great people online who are now friends. I found them on okcupid. HOWEVER I also encountered some major creepers. I gave out my number way too soon in 2 of those instances and learned my lesson. I talked to one guy for 10 minutes on the way home one night and the next day he texted me. When I didn't respond to his text he texted me again after 2 hours (I was at work). He then called me at the end of the day and told me to send him a "freaking message" letting him know I'm ok. Psycho. Another guy was relentless and I had to block him. No more exchanging of the contact info unless I was 100% certain they were normal after that.

Its been interesting. I will say I am talking to 3 nice guys from eharmony that I havent met yet. Hopefully they arent creepy.

I met a guy on ok cupid. He seemed really nice and interesting. I gave him my email so we could chat on line. We had one fun conversation. A day later he sent me a msg and I wasnt there to respond. A few hours later he says 'you were f-ing weird anyway'.
It was completely nuts.

I have a bit of a strange history. I met a guy on a soccer manager website (shut up) and we dated for almost 3 years. He's still my best friend. After I broke up with him I met a guy on an MMO. He lives in Washington, I live in Virginia. He visited for 2 weeks and decided it wasn't going to work out. Those are my only two relationships so far... So, done it, just not in your traditional way. Would do it again. You never know.

i met my current bf through okcupid, as have two of my best friends and two other people I know. I'm happy and i love ... though dated a few to quick to fall in love guys, like saying i love you within two weeks of meeting in person too soon...

I met my current girlfriend on Zoosk. Got lucky and only took 2 days.

That's how I met my wife. Yes, its true. I gotta tell you though, I had to wade through a lot of..well... unbalanced?...not ready to date?...OK Freaky messed up women before I met her. I actually had my finger on the delete account button when she responded to me.

Truthfully, it is a good place to make contact with other singles. You still need to be attracted to each other, find out if you have anything in common, and go through all the steps. But if you are a busy person, single parent, or just don't like to go out to bars and such, it can be a good thing.

You have to be discerning!

I tried Match.com, singlesnet(crappy), Yahoo, and eHarmony(did not care for it).

broken_star1134

I met my boyfriend online when I was in HS. Had a class that I could surf the net pretty much whenever I wanted and met him in a chat room ) We talked online for a couple years (He lived in California and I in Washington State) and then I went down there after graduation and met him. In fact, I decided to stay there lol October 16th, will be 11 years! We also have two boys. One just turned 3 last month and the other will be 8 next month ) Couldn't imagine my life without him.

auntdeedee87

My ex, who for some reason God himself only knows I dated for 2 years, and I met on PlentyOfFish. That place is SKEEZY. And they have these classy, sweet little commercials now -- too bad the actual site is a complete contrast.

I just posted this in my hotel thread, no word of a lie

Just got back from a date with a girl I met online.

She left after one drink and showed up dressed as a snake.

I'm so serious right now.

Mind = Blown

I actually met my hubby online. But not through a site. We have been together for 13 years and married for almost 10. So it can work out.

DannyMussels

Wow. That's... fascinatingly creepy.

DannyMussels

Did she have fangs?

It was like a leotard...and the upper part was like...a furry hoodie thing, with a long tail..and the hood had a snakehead on it, that came out front, with a head, fangs and tongue.

How long did you talk with her before meeting her? There were no signs at all that she's insane?

DannyMussels

HAHA. I just choked on my drink... I'm gonna need you to elaborate.

I met this girl across from a bar, in the park..and she wore the outfit I described above. The tail was probably 3 feet long and the head was ...i dunno, it was like a head, on top of the hood of the outfit, and it came out like..the length of a banana, but was as thick as say, your forearm. If that makes any sense.

I met my boyfriend on plentyoffish. We talked for a few weeks through email and over the phone, then we had our first date on St Patricks Day. Now I cant imagine not having him around ^_^

DannyMussels

Couplea weeks. I talk to lots of ppl on there non-stop. I just rarely meet any.

i've met like 4...this year.

This one was...the oddest. So far, but heck, its not even October yet.

That's wonderful! I'm such a sucker for love stories!

I wasn't bashing POF, its just that it has a reputation for primarily being for booty calls.

I met my current boyfriend on OkCupid.
He is extraordinary. I'm from NC, he's from KY. He found me looking for people here in NC cause he landed a job here. When he cane in for 2 days to secure an apartment, I met him for dinner. He held my hand and gave me ninja butterflies at the of the date. He went back o KY for 30 long days, came back, and the rest is history.

He is the man of my dreams. I didn't think he existed./end sappy crap.

We are the disgustingly cute couple that everyone rolls their eyes at. It's awesome. Haha.

I've decided definitively that online dating from dating websites is absolutely not for me. Ever. I hate everything about it. I've had decent dates, and lame ones. But I'm not into the whole expectations that this date will either turn into a relationship or sex, and the interview-style dates where I'm being quizzed by a guy I stopped being interested in 15 minutes into the date.

But I realized I'm the one with the issue. 'Cause I don't care if I ever get a boyfriend. I just like hanging around with guys. I figured I'd get out of the way and let the serious girls have at it.
