Online Dating

[forgotten]

As an upcoming trend in finding new partners, online dating seems to be the best choice for most. Have you ventured into it? Can you share your experience?

Not me, but I keep encouraging my widowed sister to do it. She is reluctant to try but I don't see any difference between meeting someone you've met on line and someone you've met in other circumstances. Until you get to know them, they are a stranger.

I have ventured into it, and I've learned a lot about myself through it. It's interesting how different we are when we are having a faceless conversation through a keyboard with someone and what it's like to meet in person. It's been a good experience so far, though I haven't by any means found a "love of my life."

I had a bad experience with it, but I know some people who have had success. As Richard said, you can be a different person when you're behind a keyboard, so I think people need to proceed with caution since you don't really know at first who you're talking to. I did hear the other day that 1 in 5 relationships is starting online these days.

I have not had much luck with online dating. I can not say I have had bad experiences or good ones. I have tried blind dating and I have decided that it just does not work for me. I do not know how I will meet the right woman.

I haven't tried online dating. I know a couple of guys who met their wives on a dating site. I know others who haven't had any luck at all on them. Do you think it might be the approach they take?
