Dating websites..how do you feel??

Question

im trying out a dating website.....can anyone tell me if they have tryed them and how it worked out and tell me wat i should and should not do!!! that would be great!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I don't find they work to well just because you don't know the person you are talking to and a person can put a lot of lies on a website while in person you can really get to know that person better.

Answer 2

yes they work. try okcupid thats what i do and i love it and its free and no scams. www.okcupid.com

im serious its totally free and no scams. I used it to get my gf i have now.

Answer 3

Investigate Investigate each service your think of using.

Some are good some are bad like anything else.

Also get some feedback online on successes and failures with these services.

Answer 4

i have thought about trying one but i am shy and dont know if i would show up for the date?lol

Answer 5

I've tried a few over the years, but never a paying member (match.com, Y!Personals, udate.com, cybersoulmate.com, bikerkiss.com, dancepartner.com, etc...some were dating sites, some social sites that you could also find dating partners on)

Be careful on free sites...you'll find more disingenuous people or those looking for just hook-ups than on pay-for-service sites.

Represent yourself honestly.

If there's a place to say what you want in a partner, describe what you want...not what you don't want. People who have paragraphs full of "I don't want liars, cheaters, yada yada yada" come across as people carrying a lot of baggage and making statements that shouldn't need to be made anyway. Who DOES want a cheater? Nobody should feel the need to state that. It should be a given.

Do be aware others may not portray themselves honestly. Pictures or stats/facts posted may or may not be true. Proceed with caution always, never give out personal info, always meet for the first time in a public place and do not get into his car (or vice versa) to go anywhere until you've gotten to know him pretty well. Let a friend know you are meeting someone, where you are going, and when you get home...if your plans change during the evening, let your friend no.

Just be cautious, realistic, realize anyone that sounds too good to be true probably is, and have fun.

I've gone out with a number of guys over the past decade that I originally met online. None was much different than how they appeared in photos or described themselves. Sometimes we had a good time, sometimes we just didn't "click" but I had no truly bad experiences nor did I ever feel unsafe around anyone I met.

Give it a go...the internet is just another tool at your disposal for meeting people, as well as all the usual offline methods. Good people and kooks are everywhere...not just on the 'net.
