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.  see, the org has a great success rate  oh, it's got just as great a failure rate.  But it just goes to show, it's as good a place as any to meet someone. |

I've heard tales of org-love gone wrong but thankfully have never had to experience it for myself. | |

I am clearly not in the know...which may not be a bad thing  | |

You can meet someone at the store or a bar and they could be lying..just lying to your face. This is true, but I have tried these "dating service" things before. I can tell you from personal experience that I have found that people who use them to find someone seem to lie more than people you meet in other places. I guess because they think because they're being matched up on a computer, they can make up things about themselves, and hope that the other person never finds out. I'm glad that you found somebody online, but I personally would not recommend it to anyone. I never found anybody that was worth more than one or two dates, and certainly not anybody that I would consider for a long-term relationship. Plus, I can't tell you the number of times that I was to meet someone at a public place at a specific date and time, and the idiot never showed up, or even bothered to call to explain why they did not show up. I would avoid any and all dating sevices like the plague. Certainly there are other ways to meet someone, pinkcashmere. What are your interests and hobbies? Find groups of other people who share those interests, and you will meet nice people automatically, without even trying. Plus, you will already have things in common to talk to them about. Volunteer work is another great way to meet people. I did that for awhile, and met a ton of nice, cool people. .You just need to get out there and do the things that you enjoy, and you will meet someone. Good luck. [Edited 1/3/08 14:01pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Good luck. i think the difference is that people don't come on the org specifically to find someone, it just kinda happens sometimes. | |

I was talking about these dating services that promise that you'll find "the love of your life". RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

You are right, I've never felt quite right about the whole online dating thing but I do have some friends that are together because of Match. So I'm still on the fence. I have a hard time meeting new people when I'm out because when I do go out, I'm with friends, I want to spend time with my friends, I don't look it as an opprotunity to meet men. So I go home completely happy that I had a wonderdul evening with friends and not that I went home with tons of numbers. Great advice psychodelicide, I need to find time outside of work and the other things that get me sidetracked into exploring new things like you suggest.
