Online Dating, Yay or Nay

iAMsmiling,

Ha, similar to my story I just posted! My husband and I met on yahoo, we talked on AOL too though! Man, I haven't been on there in YEARS!!

Online dating for men: Send out 10,000 letters. Get one response.

Online dating for women: Receive 10,000 letters. Respond to only hottest guys.

i say yes to trying online dating hun. i met my parnet on plenty of fish and we've been together just over 3yrs. as some one else said b4 just be honest and be safe. there can be weirdos out there so please always meet in a public place, let some one know where you are going and keep your wits about you. just because some one says they're one thing doesn't mean they are.

last thing i'd say is dont let other peoples opinion put you off. i know a few people who meet online and have been together for yrs who still lie about where they meet to new people as they see it as there must be something wrong with them to have HAD TO of met online. there is nothing wrong with online dating. Just think of it as interviewing people for the job of being your partner, after all it is a really important job.

If I were in the market these days, I'd definitely say yay. It's 2013...the internet and on-line dating is just another tool. I don't see how it would be any different than hitting the bars and clubs looking for a SO or even just someone to bang...probably more efficient actually to do it on-line.

This is so close to truth :laugh:
I see no problem with online dating, especially if your life is busy. Work, school, friends, family. Who has time to go out and meet people all the time?

Met my SO on POF - we now have a house together. It takes A LOT of work. You have to weed through A LOT of people to find the right one. I've only seen online dating work for people who have the patience for it. A lot of people give up right away.

I met my husband on yahoo chat and hes the greatest thing that has ever happend to me Granted...theres alot of jerks you have to weed thru..but when you meet the right one you'll know. Im for it

i met my husband on eharmony. we had a lot in common, so i think we would have ended up meeting even with out eharmony. we started talking the beginning of feb and met the beginning of march. now we've been married 5 years. (although we completely forgot our 5th anniversary lol) relationships are never all sunshine and roses, but we had a really good friendship and that got us thru the rough points.

anyway, meeting online was just a conduit. the relationship is up to you. so meeting online is no different from meeting in a bar or at a cooking class. its just a way of meeting someone.

good luck

Been together with someone I met on Craigslist for over 7 years. I'd say it's worked for me. Met some duds for sure in the process and a lot of weeding the profiles.

You like nerdy stuff, how about comic-con? The majority of them may gawk at you from afar and some will pee their pants if you initiate a conversation with them, but the ratio is in your favor and most nerds are great guys.
