something about how pleased she was meeting you, blahblahblah, she's just generally rambling at me so i'm only half-listening.

evenstar said:

Say hi from me and thanks again for the meal. Oh, and that I'll be stealing her daughter soon.

Not to mention liars, people who misrepresent themselves as being somebody who they are not.

Go for it! Back in the day it was taboo to meet people online, times have changed. If I am going to meet someone from the internet I usually make them meet me at a bar with a few friends.

I thought about match.com but I'm too embarrassed

who needs match.com when you have the org

I know, that's what I'm saying our success rate is just as good

statuesqque said:

yup and it's free here

veronikka said:

And the sex is great.

meeting ppl from the net is no different than meeting them in the so called "old fashion way".


You meet (online), exchange numbers and talk. If you like them, meet them in a very, very public spot. Continue to talk.

If I met someone at the grocery store, i don't know them anymore than I would if meeting them on a website. They could still be a nut.

no difference. In both, its about being cautious.

benyamin said:

even better!!!

evenstar said:

Yes meeting people at bars is much safer. Nothing ever bad has ever happen meeting some one at a club or bar.

kpowers said:

easy it was sarcasm. I met evenstar online and now we're together.

benyamin said:

Lucky!!!!! How you did that?????

kpowers said:

and then i fell in love with him.

evenstar said:

Ok that explains it all. Hee Hee!!!!!

benyamin said:

By the way mine was sarcasim as well.

kpowers said:

"sarcasm"

benyamin said:

"Exactly"!!!!!

I don't think it's the best idea and wouldn't personally go for it, but sure, if you've not the time for socialising, why not? Just don't expect too much and just see what comes of it. You never know, it may just work.

you're avvie.

One of my best friends is getting married this Saturday and she met her fiance on eHarmony.com.

CarrieMpls said:

There's a girl I went to school with who is marrying a man she met on eHarmony.

I'm happy for her because she really wanted to get married but it just seems to rushed. They only met each other a few times in person and only knew each other for three months before getting engaged.

I have a profile on eHarmony but it's inactive at the moment. That website kinda gives me the creeps. First it told me that no one matched me and then, a few months later, it told me that a whole slew of people matched me.

That man on the commercials, the founder of eHarmony, just rubs me the wrong way and the couples on the commericals all seem so strange to me.

I also have a profile on match.com but that's inactive as well. I think I just do much better metting people in person than online. We'll see how I feel in a few years about that, though.

When she met him and I saw how well that worked for her (he's a catch!!) I decided to try it out, but cancelled my membership in the grace period before having to pay for it cause, well, it just wasn't for me.

Thing is, I don't do well meeting people in person either. All my friends are gay men or straight women and none of them have any striaght, single male friends either. Virtually none of my hobbies or interests are things that "regular" straight men would be into. And I'm incredibly shy, so even if I do happen upon someone I may possibly be attracted to, nothing's ever gonna come of it. I'm doomed!!

So I may try match.com myself. I've thought about it a few times, but never got there. I hate filling out profiles.

It is just another way to meet someone.

I never thought I would meet someone online..I sure was NOT looking.

I am with you Carrie, I would hate to fill out the profile info.

I always laugh when ppl say that online dating is wrong or fake. You can meet someone at the store or a bar and they could be lying..just lying to your face.

I'm considering having a friend fill one out for me. I really never know what to say.

CarrieMpls said:

Make sure it is a friend that knows you well...please do NOT let Dan fill it out.

That would surely be a waste of your money..

shanti0608 said:

see, the org has a great success rate

shanti0608 said:

oh heavens. If Dan filled it out, god help us all.
