Online dating or actual 3-D meeting by chance . . . your preferance?

O.k....I was married for l o n g while...now peacefully divorced and have been 'in' the dating 'scene' for about 2 yrs now. Have experienced online dating, a dating 'club' / organization, and by chance (in public) meeting. Which do you prefer to opening yourself to for meeting someone . . . through on line search, or to meet someone by chance as you're 'out there' in the world at work, attending an event, brousing a bookstore etc. Which is your preferred style and why? I have my preference and for my own specific reasons...wondering your's.

Online dating or actual 3-D meeting by chance . . . your preferance?
In my head, I think meeting by chance is the best way... but unfortunately, in this day and age, that just doesn't happen... I live in NYC and everyone is so trained not to make eye contact with anyone or to talk to strangers (only because there are so many weird people here...you learn fast not to talk to anyone!). I've met a few guys online and they were all perfectly nice guys. One I had an instant attraction/connection with, but the timing was wrong. The other 2 I just didn't feel that "zing". I think it's easier to feel that "zing" of attracting in person so that is why I prefer it. It has nothing to do with looks, but more of an instant connection that sometimes happens (and in my mind, is very important for a relationship).
Reply:Good luck Onelight! What you CAN try is speed dating. You get the chance to meet 8 or more men in 1 night and if you feel something with one of them, you put a check next to their name and if he checks your name you are contacted by a 3rd party. A friend just married the guy she connected with. Report It

Reply:It really does not matter one way or the other to me.


If I meet some one on line or in real time and she is cool thats all that matters.
