You see commercials on TV like eharmony and other Online dating services about success stories than you used to hear about horror stories. Have anyone done it and find love? Or was it bad? Do you advise me to go for it and keep looking elsewhere?

Online dating isn't for everyone. I met my boyfriend in an online chatroom over a year ago. We both hit it off and are still together. I think that if you meet someone and there is something between the two of you.. then go for it. You won't know until you try.

I like match.com better than eharmony, yahoo personals, and american singles. I've heard stories about people posting old photos, multiple profiles, etc. Don't share your home phone number of personal email address or home address at first.
Assume anything good you hear a potentially true, but not necessarily
A hard part is writing a detailed profile of 1> what you're really like and what's day to day life like for you (as opposed to liking a beach vacation once every 2 years and what you like to do there) and 2> what you're looking for in a person. If might take months of tweaking to get it right, especially if people give your feedback or have a misunderstanding. Realize some guys wink at every female or send a form letter. Some women are too timid to go out searching and winking and expect someone to come find them; this isn't necessarily a good plan.
I've heard bad feedback about the quality of people on date.com, which lets you join for free.
I don't like how eharmony slowly walks you into a friendship where, on step 5, the person finally releases their picture and you find that you've been wasting a week just to get to nothing. Plus, the smallest diameter mileage was 25 or 30 miles and that isn't small enough for the DC area, due to traffic patterns making dating on the other side of the area quite difficult.

it's not for everyone but I met my husband of 3 years online. I never had very good luck finding guys that would treat me right so one day I just looked online and that was all it took. My husband is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I wouldn't change a thing about how we meet. You just need to be careful. My husband and I talked online for a long time before we meet in person. There are a lot of jerks out there online but I believe that there a lot of great guys out there too.

eHarmony is pretty good. It asks you BUNCH of questions (like 1 hour survey) but it matches you with people that really match with you.
The key? You have to be 'brutally honest' with your questions if you want to find a great match. The good think is you start by chatting trough email (internally on eHarmony) and if you don't want to talk to this person anymore, you just take him/her out of the list and this person won't bother you again!
My friend used eHarmony and she found 3 guys that were really nice. This is the most 'serious' dating site in my opinion.
Good Luck!

I have used match.com and I have dated about 3-4 different guys. I dated one guy on there for about two months . After we dated for two months he told me his ex girlfriend came back to him and he could not date me anymore. We just became friends after that. I dated anothet guy after that and we did not have anything in common so I never called him back and I blocked him from emailing me. I have a current man I am dating and it seems like it is going pretty well. My advice is you can try different on-line dating sights . You put your profile on there for difeerent men to see and match .com sens you there profile and you make the choice. Sometimes you get the profile of some one that has looked at your profile and you have the choice to email them or to continue talking to them if you feel like you have a connection. My suugestion is to look at there profile and see how much you both connect. You need to be careful because sometimes they have a tendacy to lie. If it does not work out at least you will get afree movie or a dinner. Good luck if you try this.

Go for it just be careful. Looking else where is also an good idea. You never know when love will hit. I met my wife on a blind date and five months later we were married. That was almost 25 years ago.

Go for it. I met the love of my life on line. Just be careful. Don't rush into things and REALLY get to know them. Talk to them on the phone a lot and when you do meet, meet in a public place. It can work. I have been happily married now for 10 years.

Hmm.. it relies upon. in the event that they're in basic terms dating for sexual crap or because of fact anybody else is dating, it is stupid. yet while they're definitely mature and actually desire to get to understand the guy and be with them, it is effective. yet I actually do not think of 14-15 year previous adult males are mature sufficient or waiting for a powerful dating. a number of them are. i grew to become into 14, virtually 15 when I went out with my first boyfriend and he grew to become into sixteen. this does not make me a ho, i grew to become into in basic terms extra mature than adult males my age and that i individually enjoyed the guy I dated and needed to get to understand him.

I am currently very much in love with a man I meet on line.. we meet through aim and we have been talking and getting to know each other for over a year now. I think you have to put trust not only on the other person on line but into yourself as well.trust your first instinct, but all in all go for it and have fun...

All of those commercials are fake stories! Or who knows? I think it's best if you meet people in person! Who knows how many "dreams" they'll sell you. Like, "I love you, I think you're the best person that I've ever met!"
