Online dating

I decided to try one of those dating sites cause I can never find woman with similar interests, well anyway I was wondering if anyone here has any luck and if so do you have any tips?

Thanks

Be careful, don't believe everything you are told, and if you can't meet the party in person within two or three weeks after meeting online...forget it!

Good luck to you!

Ya I know to be careful and stuff like that. I'm searching profiles that are close to where I live so that i can meet them.

well i have met two diff guys off the net, ones that go to a college other than mine that lived relatively close. the first one was great, he was all that he said he was, but i was an idiot with him, and lost him.
the guy i am dating now, i met from the net, hes pretty cool so far.
yes, just be careful. i did some searching to check if he really is who he says he is by going to his college website and checking if he was a student- that stuff is available to the public, very legal to check up on. but yeah, lots of ppl have met online....have fun and be smart

Yeah, youll find that a lot of people put up wrong pictures and stuff. As for not meeting them within two to three weeks, not necessarily true. I met my boyfreind on line (been together for over a year), and we didnt MEET until almost three months after we startead talking. Granted, we were about 150 miles away from eachother, so that did make a difference.

I tried it for a while, but nothing happened. I think most women value looks and personality.

If it does not work out, at least you will know that you tried.
