Lucky555 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I met up with a friend last night. She is now engaged to be married to a guy she met online (they have been together for about 10 months). She told me i should join and give it a try. What do you all think of online dating? Is it worth the money. I hate the thought of paying to meet someone. Currently, I just am recovering from putting my heart on the line and then having it be taken for granted. I know its a chance i took and I don't regret it because now i know. It just sucks. I wish to believe I could meet the right person out of fate or common interests

I wish to believe I could meet the right person out of fate or common interests Lucky, I know the feeling. First off let me tell you that you get what you pay for. The free sites can really be hit or miss as well as the pay ones. But with the pay sites you tend to get people that are a lot more serious about meeting someone. I tried dating online after my ex and I broke up. I met my share of wackjobs, shady characters and religious fanatics and it became a trying process. You just have to understand that it's a game of numbers. You'll meet people who are a lot less attractive then their pictures, a few that are more attractive than their pictures and people who look at you and think the same thing. It can be a good tool to meeting someone, use it wisely. Your friend is one of the lucky ones.
Crazy Magnet Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I met my current BF online and things are going great. (Not that we're talking wedding bells or anything, but I could see talking about wedding bells at some point in the future.) The reason I signed up online is b/c two of my friends met their husbands on eHarmony, so that's the one that I paid for. Plus I did OkCupid (great!) and Plenty of Fish (horrible!) I met the BF on eHarmony. I'd say about half of the BF's friends met their current SO online somewhere (at one of the aforementioned sites). They too ventured online b/c they all knew a couple of people who had gotten married or found long term love. Online dating is not for the faint of heart! Be ready for anything and keep an open mind. I personally had a lot of fun with it.
Author Lucky555 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 thanks for the advise. I think I am going to wait to be involved with another guy. Focus on myself for a bit.
sigurpol Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I'm always on and off with these things, really. Like someone mentioned earlier, it's a game of numbers. I've met a share of people, that of who I'm still good friends with. In that sense, it's cool, because I met some rad people. However, I never really landed anything that lasted. I'm actually going through something now where this girl and I talk sometimes, but it's just really awkward and I'm kinda forcing it. But, give it a try. If anything you'll have some good stories, haha.
Tnerforireyeh Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I've banged about 10 chicks from pletyoffish, so it gets a thumbs-up from me.
