I have just started this online thing-to me it is no different than going out to a club in that alot of them are not who they say they are & of course just looking for that booty! My problem is I am too picky but at home or not, I'm not really into wasting my time.The second problem is in my responses to ones I am intrigued by-they frequently go unanswered ( I swear I don't say n e thing about wasting my time lol)

Yes, you can find love on line. I actually met my fiance on line one year and four months ago.  I was searching through the website, just looking at profiles, came across his and was very attracted to him.  We had a lot in common, at that time I was living in New Jersey, but I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, he lived in Richmond.  I shot him a email telling him of my interest, not really confident enough that he would reply  I informed him that I was looking for a friend, nothing serious and since he lived in VA, he could keep me informed with the happenings in my hometown.  Well, he did reply. Immediately.  He emailed me his number along with his availability. He also sent me a comment saying," We are already friends"!  Wow, I thought, he is really nice.  Anyway, during our first conversation, he made reference to a lot of things that we had in common.  We attended the same high school, played in the band, so on and so on.  I was shocked!!  Well, low and behold, he remembered me from HS, but I didn't remember him from his photo on line, but when he told me his name, I did.  Well, we kept in touch, almost everyday, until it was everyday, then every hour.  LOL.  We finally decided to meet one weekend.  He flew me to VA. for the weekend, and we finally meet in person, after 32 years.  It was the best weekend of my life.  Too late to make a long story short, LOL.  But, I've moved to VA now and we have been together for a year and plan to marry in February,2012, the month we united after 32 years.  God is good!

I personally have not done any online dating. But, I do believe you can find love online, I have two friends that have successful relationships with people they have met online. I also think that honesty on both parts make a huge difference in finding love online as well as outside the net. To those who met thier love online...Congratulations!!

Alot of the sites now have safeguards in place so you don't have the risk of meeting "bad" people. Be sensible and use basic safety precautions. Don't invite them to your home, let them walk you to your car etc. and always have an escape plan (you know, sick child call kind of call if you text a friend) if you are even the least bit uncomfortable when you meet them in public for coffe or dinner or whatever.

That being said, I actually met my husband at an online dating site and we have been married for just over a year now. I also made some pretty good friends there too. It was a fun and interesting period in my life and to be honest, it makes it a little easier if you can pre-screen your prospects from the safety & comfort of your living room. And there is the added benefit of getting your well meaning yet irritatingly pushy friends and family with their "Do I have a guy for YOU!" stunts!

Did I meet some real duds? HECK YEAH, but I also found a man I love and respect adn vice versa. Plus as a single mom, I could get to know them online before I ever gave out my number, email or anything. Then I met them in person, THEN they got the (if lucky!) my "secret" info. Beats the alternatives let me tell y'all what!

Yes!!!! I did, I met one of the best guys I ever dated online. I didn't know him from a can of paint, we lived in two different counties and we have NO friends in common. We talked for a while, decided to meet finally and it was amazing. We dated for about 5 years and broke up. We are still the best of friends to this day. It's kind of trial and error tho, you just never know.

That is great that you remained friends. I really think that online dating was the best thing that happened to dating. It is how you utilize it that determines the outcome!!

my husband and I met online lol our first meeting he lied and said he was the same age as me lo lnow mind you I was 25 at the time we have had our ups and downs broke up got back together broke up go back together and now married.  What people don't realize that rather you do online dating or dating outside the computer you are still going to run into the crazies and massive wackos.  You just have to decide what you want and weed them out until you find the one that makes your heart skip a beat and always brings a smile to your face when you think of that special someone.
