Answer 1

In regards to whether its worth trying or not, sounds like you've already tried it. There really isn't a wrong or right way to do it except to be yourself, be honest about who you are and what you are looking for. And for pete's sake, don't put up old photo's, glamour photo's or any photo's that have been modified in any way. I can't tell you how many times I've met someone and didn't recognize them because of this. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but when I find myself interested in someone online, one of the things that attracts me is their photo, not just their profile, e-mails or phone conversations. I'm not superficial, but I and I am sure everyone else feels the same, there must be some kind of physical attraction towards each other. By putting information or photo's of yourself that are inaccurate, what makes you think he's going to like you any better once he finds out. It is a form of deceit, which in my opinion wouldn't work anyway, because how would I be able to trust someone who has lied from the beginning. Don't try and force it, let it all work itself out. Online dating isn't for everyone, but it does give everyone the opportunity to meet people they would have otherwise never met through other means. It definitely is worth giving another shot, but that also means getting with an online service that is reputable. Match seems to be one that I have been the happiest with and have met some wonderful people. It wasn't until recently though that I met someone who I have talked to quite a bit through e-mail and phone conversations and eventually met in person. I am definitely very attracted and interested in her and that was because from what I've discovered about her is who she portayed herself as online and her pictures were current. My opinion is in regards to putting up pictures, upload those that you are happy with, but not the ones you really love so there will be an even bigger surprise for the person you meet, when you do so in person. Save some of the mystery for someone who is willing to take the time to get to know you. It is well worth the time and effort. Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

I'm guessing that you're a guy. If you were a woman, you'd be getting more than your share of results. Mostly bad.

If you want to get results with internet dating, you go to the chat rooms and start a relationship. Talk about things that interest you. Don't ever start off your chatroom talk with "Hey, are there any single women here."

It takes time. Maybe a year or more to establish some trust. There are also some mixers of chatroom chatters that you can ususally go to where you'll meet some of the people in person.

It's all about establishing a relationship first and lots and lots of time.

hello , i have a free datingsite and i may know what is the problem,

- dating site put a lot of fake women profile to hide the fact that they have 4-8 times more men than women
- women get a lot of messages specially if they have a photo around 10-100 week depending on sites , so practically a women uses a site for a week before finding someone

i have a free french dating site (soon i'll publish the english version)
i use the technique of adding 5-10 girls just to take off , but other sites go all the way creating hundreds and even thousands of fake girls . after all they are charging so they try to trick you in anyway , my site is in the reference (english version very soon)

Answer 4

I found my fiance from the Internet. Yep so I gotta give it a big thumbs up! Be careful of meeting someone with just a few im's. Be cautious and question things that don't add up. Be guarded about close personal information, you don't really know who is on the other screen. And ask around your chat room with people you can trust about the one your interested in. Sooner or alter their true colors will come screaming through.

Answer 5

Depending on the site that you choose. It may be worth it. Just watch the theme behind the dating site.

Answer 6

I feel that it's not worth your time because you can't prove that the person is who they say they are. They may say that they are one peoson and they are a completely differnt person.

Answer 7

not worth it
