Since my blog has as of recent become an archive of my success and failures in dating and finding romance. I thought I’d put this question out there… I’m thinking online dating. Thoughts?
I haven’t done it before. I’m not sure what puts me off, but in honesty I think it’s the whole stigma that comes with online dating.
I just had a quick browse through an online dating site and I have to say there is definite potential there! Plus I have heard of some positive outcomes. So maybe? What’s the worst that can happen?
I’d love to hear of your opinions and succesful and/or crumbling experiences.
I signed up for an online dating site earlier this year… I never actually did anything through it though seeing as I live in such a small city and there were guys I knew on there! Plus I decided I would rather meet someone in real life… but I think it is worth looking into, one of my friends has met heaps of guys online and it has worked well for “dating” and seeing what is out there! I say give it a go and see what happens, you never know!
Well, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
I mean, you meet people online and become friends with them, right? If I were in NZ (near where ever it is that you live) I’d love to meet you. Not for a date, obviously, but just to be all, “Hi, friend from the internet!”
It seems to be a good way to meet people who are interested in the same things as you. You can check them out beforehand, too.
Give it a shot! =)
why not – could be fun!
It’s how I met my lovely boyfriend so I definitely recommend it – it’s like any way of meeting guys, gotta weed out the bad ones, but there ARE some good ones. I met up for coffee with a few, none were freaky, just either hit it off or don’t I guess
Could lead to some good blog entries too
great attitude! I agree
hehe exactly… at the very worst it could be some seriously good blog fodder!
I’ve been online dating for years, on and off between long term relationships, and the best advice I can give you is steer well clear of the “separated” men. I have yet to meet one that is actually really over his marriage, no matter how much they protest. And frequently I found that even if they think they are over their marriage, their wife is actually unaware they are even separated! (Yes, there’s a story in that one!)
And always, always listen to your gut instincts – it will help you weed out the unsuitable ones!
That’s how I see it too, it’s for meeting people. I’m not expecting to meet my true love on there, but some people to date could be fun!
