they say "a good man is hard to find" especially here in indianapolis. So dating online, would you try it? would u consider it dangerous? any success stories you'd share?

yes and it has pros and cons just like dating in person. you just have to be more careful like meeting in public, take your own vehicle, and i always take a friend. i have had some really good ones and not really had a bad one yet. just remember online gives the other person the opportunity for dishonesty so just be careful

You know, There is good stories about online dating.. as well as Bad stories and I bet the percentage is about the same.
My neighbors are one of my best friends and they met over the net and they are the cutiest couple and marriade for some time now. I went to their wedding like a year ago cause they renewed it. So There is good things about it and there are bad. Cause you hear all the stories of people getting involved in relationships and getting hurt and rejected from online partners. Abuse and stockers and perves all over the net. So watch yourself.
It doesn't give you a pass to date online cause its all a risk you take!!
Just the thing is.. Are you willing to take that risk!

I tried it once. It's fun. It's cool because you don't have to worry so much about the whole club scene...you can feel free to be yourself.
Now, like with everything, there is a good and bad side. Some people take advantage (men and women alike) of the internet and misrepresent themselves but it's pretty obvious. No different than anything else you do.
If you decide to, keep your eyes open and have fun.

I have. My bf that I plan on marrying met me online. It's really hard to keep up, I've had previous online relationships, because my social life is online, and I'm more comfortable here. I wouldn't trust just anyone, but I gave it a shot. And I don't regret it, no matter what anyone says.

i did but make sure you get a current picture. I went out once with this girl who looked like she ate the girl in the picture she sent me. There is nothing worse than developing feelings online and then meeting and being totally let down. Side note: That was the fasteset date EVER!

Haven't tried it yet but the pickings are pretty slim around here so I guess that's my next step. I think the sights where you have to pay like match.com or eharmony would probably be better 'cause the people are more likely to be serious if they have to pay for the service.
Take your time and get to know them via email and phone before you meet in person.

I've met/dated some people I got to know online. I don't have any horror stories to tell - in fact, most of the people I have met online are quite nice!

yep
you can meet nice people online -- not everyone is in church or in a bar... it's an option and as always be safe.
let someone know where you are and with whom.
take a look at plentyoffish.com where you can talk about the situation with others before you make the leap.
