Do online dating services work well like Match or Yahoo Personals?
I am a man and am back on the market again after a tough breakup. I have never used online dating services before but I am thinking about it now because I am in a new area and don't know many people. Also, I have had enough of the bars and clubs. Would you recommend it? I am a decent guy and would like to meet a serious women for a relationship. What is your experience with online dating?
Do online dating services work well like Match or Yahoo Personals?
Yes it works pretty good, make sure you put a photo up though or you won't get responses. Some good sites are...

Reply:It can work, it really depends on the person and the people they are seeking. Why not give it a try. Going to the bar is bad place to meet people. At the bar you know nothing about the person, at least with the dating websites you have to post your info. That way you can select the person you may want to meet.
Reply:Works well, for me, but it depends on what you're after.
I haven't found anyone I'd be willing to have a releationship with (well, one woman was a "possible", but we only dated for a couple months).
But.....I get quite a few dates, and most (75%, maybe) of the time she drops her panties on the first date. I'm a guy so I'm ok with that....again, depends what you're looking for.
Reply:yahoo personals better.
Reply:Do not...I repeat DO NOT go thru yahoo...I signed up thru them for the free trial and then I cancelled like 2 days later...all of a sudden like 3 months later, I happened to look at one of my credit card statements and saw that I was being charged for yahoo personals. I was highly upset and when I contacted yahoo personals, they refused to refund any of my money. They told me that when I cancelled my subscription, all I really did was delete it, but didn't cancel it. I told them I went thru their directions of cancelling it as stated on the website. Everytime I asked to speak with a supervisor regarding this...they were always in a meeting. So I highly suggest you find someone else to go thru. Do not use yahoo personals.
Reply:My sister met a guy online and they got married a year later.
She also met a few scary freaks in the process, including one that somehow found out where she lived and where she worked, and he started stalking her.
I used a service called Equally Yoked, met a few really nice guys but it felt more like shopping than anything. My suggestion, don't date! Focus on making a big group of new friends...you'll eventially meet their sisters and their friends sisters,,,that's the best way I've found to meet people and really get to know them.
My source...thats what I did. Out of a big group of friends who had coffee together after church, 7 couples were made and 6 have been married. (Including me)
I wish you the best!
Reply:Yes! My roommate just got married to a girl he met through online dating. In fact, I believe (especially in US) that the current statistics are very high - it is an accepted way of life out there.
Sure, it might not seem as romantic and incidental as other types of introduction but the world is a changing place and it is not like it used to be.
You can find reviews of different websites at the link below.
Reply:I think for the vast majority of people it does not work. I have done it off and on for years, and funny thing I will go online and browse profiles on both Match and Yahoo and I see the same guys on there I did years ago, so it's definitley not working for them. I have probably met 20+ guys from online and only two of them were even worth seeing a second time. With all that said, I guess it's worth a try, ya never know, it might work for you. Good Luck!...and be careful, the people you meet will seldom be how they portray themselves.
Reply:I met my sweetie online and we've been dating for 6 months now. I also met some strange ones on there too, but you have to take it for what it is. You can meet a weirdo in a bar, at a coffee shop, anywhere.......and people can also lie to your face just like they can lie on a dating profile. Try out several different sites and see which one you like.....I ended up finding my sweetie on a local dating site for our city which was sponsored by the news paper for the area, plus they had singles activities around the area. I had tried a couple of the big name sites also. You really have nothing to lose by trying it out.
Reply:online dating is like dating anywhere actually.
u will find good women, and also fake people.
AND, a jerk who pretend to be a good one.
like all kinds of dating, u still need time to getting know them.
but, u will.
dating site that ask for membership fee, trusted more than free dating site.
if u ever heard eharmony, yeah.. it's a great dating site. try it! :)
or maybe u can start from friendship sites, like friendster or myspace or xanga. I used friendster, n I found many good people there. 95% not fake. depends on how u choose the new friends. :)
wish u the best.

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.

Online Dating, Break Up... Stalking?!?
Hello everyone.
I have a bit of a problem.
I am 17 years old, and have been online seeing a 19 year old boy for the past few months. We have recently broken up because of his being overly controlling, possessive, and especially angry, individual. (signs only showed up after dating and I felt it was just a rough patch, but that seems to be his personality and it never went away. causing me much anxiety and unneeded stress)
So I have broke things up. He of course has my address, since we would write to each other. I live in Canada, and he lives in the USA.
* He is a very angry person, and obsessive with me, to the point he stalks many of the places I go online.. which makes me feel paranoid. I have told him this.
The worry I have is that now, after breaking up, with his personality traits in mind.. I fear that he might want to hurt me or my family out of anger (he has my address and telephone number.)
I've alsogone out of my way to make sure that all my accounts online were deleted
Online Dating, Break Up... Stalking?!?
The first and last thing you need to do is defuse the situation.
Do not fuel his obsession. If you haven't done it already, tell him you are cutting off all communication, and if he tries to get in contact with you again, you will call the police. Then don't make any kind of contact with him again, no matter how crude or obsessive he gets. If you even email him or IM him or whatever, you have given him fuel to get respond. Even using this medium is in-directly talking to him. Does he know your avatar and username? Will he be reading this question? If so, you will be fueling him.
You have to not have any kind of contact with him. Don't do it. No matter what. He'll finally get bored and move on. This happens in about 88% of cases.
For the rare 12%, it could turn dangerous. Tell everyone you know about the situation, parents etc. and if he shows up at your home, then he has taken it up a notch and its now time to go to the authorities.
Don't worry about hurting his feelings, people that have anger issues often use this to their advantage and will make you feel bad in order to get the upper hand. They will also use conflict, because most of us try to avoid any conflict.
Reply:man, idk, if its really that serious, maybe you should get a restraining order, but then again, that might not do anything. talk to him, ask him about it maybe. or move. good luck :)
