Internet Dating

[mouthmike]

I met my husband online. We both had signed up for looking of sex and not a relationship but from our first date we were together. My girlfriend and I would sit around and complain about the lack of men. I chose to take a year and put myself out there before I gave up on dating and it worked out really well for me.

I think that online dating can work but as with all dating you need to be open to who you might meet. Get rid of the list of what you think you want from a relationship but open your mind and heart to meeting people because you never know who might come in your life!

My sister and brother-n-law have been married 5 years and they met on line. so I know it can work, I just have not wanted to hook up like that. I applaud those it works for tho..

Internet is pretty much where it's at now to get with similar caliber people. It seems like all my closest friends met their current girlfriends/boyfriends on either a dating site, facebook, or myspace. I kept in touch with my now wife after high school because of facebook. I don't know what it's like for people over thirty, maybe it works the same. There is that real big elephant in the room though. When you meet in person there's liable to be no chemistry, and then you both might force a relationship because a. you both want one, b. you got along so well over the computer. The traditional way was seeing someone all the time, there's all the physiological things going on, acquaintanceship, infatuation etc.

The spouse and I met online. We were both horny, on a site that catered to horny people, and somehow it just worked out. It was supposed to be a quick hookup - scratching an itch kind of thing. I knew from the moment we finally met in person - after several months of email - that he was the one.

Miracles happen. I had to filter out hundreds of guys who were cheating on their wives. Swinging is fine - but everyone has to know what's going on - and then the just plain jerks. But there are good folks out there.

The spouse says his journey was similar - lots of letters, being polite, actually paying attention to what is said in the profiles, etc.

it can happen..it just takes a lot of work and patience - like any good relationship.

I think its easier meeting guys online than in person. But I didn't like it at Yahoo Personals. Too many ppl just looking for friends or someone to hang with. I like looking online tho cos well, I've been lucky here before so keep your fingers crossed and be patient. It'll happen. You don'thave to be THAT truthful tho.... not yet, IMO.
