Good fun. I'm on a few, some better than others.When I joined, I kept really quiet about it because I thought it was a bit sad, but I've found there are plenty of 'normal' people there. If you wre asking before you try it, I'd say go for it

I have never used one as I am in a relationship but I think that they are a good idea as long as they are used correctly by genuine people. I know that people are not very out going and find it difficult to approach men or women so internet dating sites may be a good idea for them

I think it depends on your age. I am no spring chicken but I am fun and very young at heart. The men my age all want young and lovelies half their age, so I don't stand a chance. It can be very depressing meeting people , then not hearing from them again. You start to doubt yourself and that's not good.

Online dating, once you get past the habitual players, is great. 5 years and counting on my current relationship and the gal I met ended up only being 9 miles away. I don't know if our paths would have crossed so I endorse it, use your head along with your heart though.

For me? I wouldnt do it. My younger brother met his wife through one though and they have a great relationship. On the other hand a co-worker of mine just 2 weeks ago sent a Russian woman $1800.00 to come over here to Canada. She received the money and he hasn't heard from her since.

I think they're scarry!! But then again, I think a blind date is scarry too. I don't take many chances. ha ha ha!!

Well I guess it could be dangerous because you don't really know who you are talking to. I checked one of them out and it seems as though you kind of have to give lots of information out. If a person on the other end is lying and they attract you, you may fall into a trap. As always, I guess internet things (even AB...sorry) are sometimes dangerous. You could also be sometimes fooled because someone can say that they really love you or that you should meet up sometime. You go and meet them somewhere that may not be close for you and they end up not showing up. I guess you have no real connections with them because all you know about them is the information they gave you and that's not always true.

rubbish, the relationships that happen on them barley ever last. it has to be true love.

Internet dating sites and phone "find a date" are dangerous and for losers. predators float in cyber space, just waiting for your call. I have always felt that desperate people use these services. Sometimes they work, but most of the time, it bites them in the butt. Stay clear.

Met my hubby of 7 years on Yahoo personals. Turned out our sons were in the same class at school at the time! He lived in a different city, but his ex-wife moved to the town I lived in, and I didn't know it until I saw him at a school program. He didn't know I was there, so I was able to observe him w/o him knowing so he was being completely natural. I wasn't completely sure it was him until the program was over and I asked my son what his classmates last name was, and my son started telling me about him and his dad who came into class with his telescope, and my hubby had emailed me about the telescope thing, so then I was sure it was him. He didn't know I lived in the same town as his ex, either because I wouldn't tell him where I lived in case he was an ax murderer! lol

I trust nothing about them at all

They are simply another way to meet people. You have to be as careful with who you talk to and trust as you do in a face to face meeting. Don't give out personal info too soon, don't send money, don't fall in love. Just meeting them after you have spent some good amount of time in getting to know them a little via email. Then work it from there. Just like real life. I know several people who have good, long-lasting relationships from dating sites. I met a few really nice men. None were long-time material, but I have some friends that I will always be glad to have known. One of them has been my 'pen pal' now for 9 years! Just use your judgement, move slowly and treat any new acquaintance with caution.

well I am on one. Its become the "way " to meet people. It depends on age also. But you have to be careful, ferret out the weirdos and then you meet the quality people. I have dated several guys from there, and made some friends. I recently met a guy from the UK. Its really hard to meet people any other way.

I never tryed it. I don't think that would be the safest way. I could be wrong tho........M.C.S.

Well the internet seems to be used for everything else nowadays, so why not dating? Personally, I've never tried a dating site but I see nothing wrong with it. Also if you're tired of using "regular" dating methods and they just aren't working, then why not try something new?

They help people to meet each other
-
Married, In a relationship or just plain butt ugly people who stumbled across a site that mentions dating.

Fate has different ways to make people happy.

I think it's a huge money market playing on the fears and loneliness of millions.

I thinksite like eharmony.com are useful, but there not fool proof. Many people have found the loves of their lives there because of how well they match you, but some have been disappointed. Nothing on earth can give you 100% positive results when it comes to love, because everyone is different, and every relationship is unique, even if it sometimes has alot in common with someone elses experience.

I THINK IT IS A GUD WAY TO MEET SOMEONE
-
Yes they be a good way of meeting people,but take care. I have made soom good email friendships at websites for disabled persons.Some "normies" join our sites trying to find love which is ok. As you gather I am a straight disabled man with some mobility issues which is no big deal. So why not give it a try. Best of luck.

Be very cautious...There are a lot of scammers on these sites...
