EAP Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I had a really bad experience with a guy I met on a dating site, and now I'm afraid to re-create a profile or find a new dating site. I fear every guy on there will be like the one I had that experience with.. I need to know if anyone has actually found a genuine relationship on a dating site. I particularly desire feedback from females that have found men they are in successful relationships with. Thanks- EAP
fortyninethousand322 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Every time I read this on a girl's profile (what you just wrote here) this is what goes through my mind: she's not doing this seriously and she won't ever ever respond to me. I'm sure you've met a guy at a book store or a bar or in class, or at a coffee shop, etc. Would a bad experience meeting a guy at those places stop you from going there and talking to a guy you met there? 1

I'm actually quite serious about finding love... but I'm still young and men feel they can take advantage of me. A guy won't talk to me if I tell him I wait a few months before getting seriously intimate. I suppose that gets rid of the pervs, but that's pretty much all I've run into. And no, but I'm definitely more cautious about guys now and I'm aware of what they're capable of, so I avoid them. 1
outsidethebox Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I think the logical conclusion is that all men are pervs then. Which is not a rare conclusion to come to here. Welcome!

I've gone this road before. And I'm not interested in marathon messaging sessions before a meet up/date or having a meet up and then you (general you not you specifically) have a freak out on me and never see me again. That's what I'm talking about.
miss_jaclynrae Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I met about 6 men on OKC and it was great. None of them went anywhere, but they were fun dates and nice guys. 1
Ruby Slippers Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I have 2 friends who met their long-term guy on OLD. One is engaged and living with him, and the other has been living with him for 5+ years (she has no desire to get married ever, and he's cool with that). 1
Dood Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Well I am a dude, but my girlfriend and I met on POF. Honestly, with my lifestyle, my line of work, and where I live...well online dating is essentially the only way for me to date...and it works. However, I went through plenty of fails before I found my gf. 1
