Gabri1985 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Have you ever done it? would you ever do it? do you know anyone that's done it? if so did they have good or bad experiences from it? I don't find it to hard to meet women/men so have never tried it but if i did i'd give it a go, a friend of mine met his now wife on a dating website.

PRIDEneverDIED Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 No i mean like finding people to meet in person for a real date lol. ok just checking...some people claim they love people they have never met in person cuz they have been in an online relationship and stuff which makes me laugh...i can see finding people online to date in real life but still just not my thing im a go out and rage it and find a chick that i vibe with instantly in real life...some people may need to do it online for different reasons so to each their own...like you said there have been plenty of marriages started from dating websites also lots of flops lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We met on a forum, had lots in common, and started talking on the phone a lot. She came to visit me in the states for two weeks, then it was torture to be away from her. She came back down 3 months later, we got married, and a couple of months later I moved up to the cold tundra that is Montreal.

Kevbo_Jones Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I honestly don't know why people wouldn't use dating sites like e-Harmony or Match. You get to fine tune the type of person you're looking for and get matched accordingly. Sure, you'll have a few people lie here and there, but overall, the chances that you meet someone who fits your tastes is much greater than bars, clubs, etc... Etc.

Some people think it needs to happen where they just accidentally bump into the man/woman of their dreams and it's just all happiness and wedding bells from there on in. The idea of paying $9.95 for a shopping list of people to find your husband/wife doesn't seem as challenging or rewarding The thing is though, it's the exact same romance needed as finding someone in-person. You may have a different starting ground, but you are not going to find your husband/wife unless you sweep them off their feet and have some sort of game. Also, it's true that you could weed out a lot of people that you know aren't your type very early on. I personally think it's very cool and useful for people who don't get out much in scenes where there are singles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
