No but I have looked at internet personal ads, from a dating site. Made me wonder how much was true and how much was fluff.
by AntigoneRising on February 14th, 2007
Yes, and I ended up marrying a sociopath.
by Juggernaut on February 14th, 2007
yes, ive tried it once..but soon lost interest..i was lucky to meet my girl at a laundry mat!
finding the right girl can be quite a challange..but if once you find Ms. right, hang on to her! its a chance of a lifetime
by Moongrim on June 5th, 2009
Out of curiosity I tried.
Once or twice, it worked out.
Most of them tend to be scammers trying to get you to joing another website.
And the few who aren't, are psycho.

Once, for like a minute. I was curious.
by drella on August 3rd, 2008
yeah I have. And I met someone on there, He was nice but not my type of guy. I could see straight away that we were in diff. places in our lives.

Yes...Met some nice people and several creeps...

No, It did cross my mind, but then I thought the same as You and the ex Chief (wink) Wanbli I promise I won't say that again. I just had to get one last one in.
by Firebrand on February 24th, 2007
No I have not,
but know a lot of people that have and some of the relationships have been very successful
by punished? on February 24th, 2007
i have and made some really good friends out of it for sure. definatley made a love connection out of it (the details i will keep) and i know many other people who are happy with their experiences.
by This Daley has a new bundle of joy on February 14th, 2007
I met my husband online 9 1/2 yrs ago but not through a dating service.
I have used match.com and eharmony.com with my mother trying to find a date for HER. She has met some interesting fellows but no love connections at all. She was VERY disappointed in the profile results on E-Harmony.
by JUSTNORMAL on February 14th, 2007
Yes, and I wont go into details however the police were involved. However I know many people that hit it off, engaged or married.
by Drublic on January 4th, 2007
I went on one date from a dating site, and although it wasn't a match, I can see it working just as well as meeting someone elsewhere. This way though you can 'feel each other out' before commiting to a date. I think that once you get around some of the more unusual people on the sites, there are some great people and it can be a good way to meet people.

I did it just for fun you know to see who they would hook me up with. I unsubscribed as soon as I saw a few pictures but I still keep getting those annoying emails that someone wants to talk to me.
by kyannie72 on January 3rd, 2007
I didn't use an internet dating service, but I went to a chat room on Yahoo that had people from my state. I met a guy, we talked on the phone for about a month before we met. We met October 25th of 2000, got engaged Nov. of 2000, got married March of 2001. We are still married, very happily I might add, and have a beautiful son together. And it is true, I had to meet a ton of frogs to meet my prince! But I found him and I've never been happier!!!!! But I was very careful. I never gave them my phone number, I called them with a calling card. And I met them in a public place. Luckily my husband lived in the same town as me so we never had to deal with a long distance thing. I let my best friend use my computer and go to the same site I did, and she too found her husband there. They met at our house so she wouldn't be alone should he not be as nice as he seemed. There are dangers out there and a woman has to be really careful, but true love can be found over the internet.
by jangobean on January 3rd, 2007
Yes to both questions.
Internet dating is great, as long as you're not hoping to meet your soulmate - not that this might not happen, it probably would, but you'd have to kiss a lot of frogs before you found your prince.
I had 3 internet dates.
One lasted about 3 months, the other two less than three minutes, and then I sort of thought that it wasn't really for me.
My friend had a couple of Internet dates and she got engaged just before Christmas to a guy she met through an Internet dating site and they are both totally in love and very happy.
My opinion is that it's a really good idea, as long as you keep an open mind, don't treat it too seriously and keep safe, and you never know what might happen.
by Anonymous on February 14th, 2007
I found a lovely relationship that lasted about 2 years! (ended some years ago). But I also had mostly negative experiences and would not even go there now.
by Shelby on June 22nd, 2007
I've never used an actual internet dating site no. My boyfriend and I did meet online though, and got to "know" each other quite well before actually meeting.
We got to learn about each others personalities without the physical demands of a regular relationship, and we just "clicked". When we met in person for the first time, we "clicked" even harder.
It's been about 2 years now, we live together, and I have never been happier.
by Gone to The Secret Garden on August 17th, 2008
I went on a local site..........for 3 days..... the first person I talked to via email, I discovered was a complete phony. Kinda scared me actually. I pulled everything off immediately.
Now I am on eharmony and it is nice. The only people who can see your profile are those who they match you with. Only been on a week or so, so far so good.
by JadeEzekiel84 on February 14th, 2007
My Brother met something online. He met love, and they are now very happily married.
by Firebrand on February 14th, 2007
No I was married, but my sister has but whenever it comes to meeting the person even after weeks of talking she backs out
by BenjaminMiller on January 3rd, 2007
I have never used one personally, but a close friends father married a woman from one of the dating sites. She is perfect for the family and I believe that while you should be careful, online dating can work out.
by thickalious on January 5th, 2007
no,but I believe if you do meet someone of interest that real numbers have to be exchanged and take it real slow so the lies can unfold if there are any.
by sassie on August 17th, 2008
My mom signed me up for a few internet dating sights (she thinks I need to date!!!) And The only people that have contacted me are sort of weird!!! I dont like the Idea!!! My aunt met her man over the internet!!!
by Sexyrabbit on August 17th, 2008
Yes,,and yes i have meet my s/o on one..:)
by stillcool88 on August 19th, 2009
i never used it in my life , but i saw ppl who did .
try it if u like , and its also better to contact the person your gonna meet , and its also better to meet in a public place where u can see ppl , and take some one with u and let them sit away and keep an eye on u and the person your with .
if u wanna find the person u wanna be with then your gonna have to date alot , know more ppl , then u might end up finding some one u reallly like and who share same interest with u .
by TomFluflu on August 19th, 2009
I tried E-harmony... a disaster!!! I got tons of responses that were so totally not what I was looking for!
.
I'm sure they work... not for me.
.
AB is a good replacement for love.
by MicrocosmicOrbit on August 19th, 2009
There would always be a possibility. However, I think the probability would be marginal. I think dating sights leave little for conversation on a date. The other already knows what you do,how much you make, your hobbies etc..
by little sprout on October 13th, 2008
I will just say I have met alot of great guys althoug in most cases our personalities didnt click we still remain friend, except for one guy. When you meet a person at the bar you barely know them, this gives you a chance of getting to know them before you meet them, weed out the riff raff
by LiverpoolFC-chick on October 6th, 2008
I have never tried it but my mom and step dad met through it and have been together for 9 happy years, i also i know another couple who tried it and have been together for 6 years.
My friend has tried it and twice she has been disappointed.
I guess its chance, some people work with each other, others don't.
by The Fool on October 10th, 2008
Yes, I've met two people I wanted to be with. It didn't work out, but I fell in love with both of them.
by Anonymous on January 3rd, 2007
1.Yes, only once, and it only hooked me up by email and phone.
2. Yes, but it is rare and also very difficult to do that from my experiences 4-5 years ago.
Are there any worthwhile online dating sites?
