Do online dating sites ever actually work out?

I keep seeing ads for online dating sites like match.com and friendfinder.com. Personally i think any an all online dating websites are scams. How can you date a person youve never met face to face? Mabey im wrong- anyone here ever meet someone who met thier significant othr online? I just have a hard time believing iot works. I have a hunch seeking romance online is used by people who can't meet people in real life...So its for losers...Stick to meeting people in bars.

Reply:I've never actually tried the sites myself, but my roomates mom and stepdad met on a dating site. They've been happily married now for several years. BUT I also have a friend who was stupid and went alone and met a guy from a dating site and he beat her up a bit after she went to his hotel room. She said she was scared for her life. I don't think they're a scam, but you have to be carefull about who you're talking to and/or meeting. Just be smart if you do try it.
Reply:well my sister in law meet her now boyfriend on match.com and they seem to be working out ok! They live together now
Reply:I heard that only 2% of online relationships last more than a year or two. meeting people in bars isn't that great. none of the men I met lasted long because they drank all the time. I drank once in a while and didn't want to be with a drunk all the time. people date online because they're too busy working to meet people other ways.
Reply:Yeah bars are kewl, the internet for meeting people is for losers. *rolls eyes*





I know a LOT of people who met their offline significant other online. The internet (including dating sites) can be a good tool in helping to meet people, network, make friends, and find people who are compatible to date.





You said: "How can you date a person youve never met face to face?" It's quite easy actually. You set a time and place to meet, and then you both show up...voila, it's a date. People go on "blind dates" all the time and that's not considered weird...why would going out with someone you actually know a few things about, and probably what they look like, be wierd?





Most of the guys I've dated in the past decade have been ones I've met online in some way...I've had the opportunity to go out with people I'd probably never have crossed paths with in my usual daily life.





If it's not for you, don't do it...but MANY people have had great success with it. The only losers are the ones who whine about being unhappy, yet never do anything to change that.

Reply:I do it because I don't want to go out to the bars. I've met some great people. It's not all online, you talk, you see pics, if you connect, you meet face to face. You tend to learn alot about people by talking online first and know if you really have an interest in them. I've met some great people on the dating sites. There are also total idiots out there, so you just have to screen through them before you agree to meet. I know people who have married their online dates. I've been talking to someone almost a year. We have gotten together 3 times already only because he lives a little futher away. If he didn't we'd probably be together all the time. I think it's worth it, especially because I don't go to bars. And the best thing, I met him on the free dating site!
Reply:It depends if the couple really want it to work. i have two friends that met online. They got married 1 year after they met, and seem to love each other. They are just alike.. nerdy..





I also think they really really wanted someone to love, and they really worked on making it work.
Reply:Can't say I have met anyone on a dating site, however I built one last year or so. All reports from a business sense are that online dating is a very successful and continually growing business. I guess that means that it works. However I have also found out that whatever I think about something then that is the way it is. When I change my mind about that thing (eg dating sites are good) then I also find out more positive stuff about them even when I'm not looking. So I don't reckon dating sites are for losers. Question to consider - do you think that Princesses i.e. really amazing women, are going to hang out at bars?
Reply:Yes they do, i've had expreiance in that catergory, they do work you just need to keep trying, and don't focus on what their profiles says, focus on looks and ask them in person about there interests and quialites.
