My father and sister came to me and suggested that I give it a go. I'm 22, british male and have been single quite a while now.
Thing is, I'm not sure about it. I always considered internet dating to be a very desperate measure, a last resort if u will. My opinion is the only people who apply r those who have little to nothing to offer (I apolagise if I insult anyone with these words).
I probably have nothing myself to offer any young ladies, but I'm not sure if I want throw in the towel and admit that.

Hi
I have been Internet ? for awhile. Although I do have lots to offer. I find that people don't take this serious at all. Or I have not met them yet. During the duration of Internet chatting, I have met some people who have fooled me into thinking they wanted long term relationships. But all they tryed to get was sex. Then the other's are scared off when I tell them they must get tested before we enter the physical part of the relationship. Truth is,The world it's self has become so confusing. That the Internet is more upsetting than anything else.
If I had it all to do over, I would never try the Internet as a way of meeting people for a relationship

I met my boyfriend on the internet (he lived about 20 minutes down the road but our paths had never crossed) and I am so glad I did, nearly 2 years later we have bought a house together and are the happiest we've ever been. We already knew we had a lot in common and when we are together we have so much fun because we have similar senses of humour. I found it very difficult to meet someone 'out and about' as I am quite shy. I think you should give it a go :-) good luck either way though.

Hey man like yourself I felt like the biggest loser on the face of the planet turning to an internet site to meet ladies. Chatted with lots of losers and users but there was some interesting ladies also. Finally met one at age 48 and we got alone fabulously. We have been seeing each other each and every weekend since and are now set to be married next May 20. So I for one have gone from a non-believer in these services to a person who is grateful to have used it as I have found a woman to share my life with. Sure it's not for everyone and you must be careful on there but hopefully you will also get to answer someone with a positive response like this some day regarding using internet to met people of the opposite gender. Best of luck to you and remember father knows best. Ha!

Give it a try as you have nothing to lose. Just make sure you get to see their pics first (ask for several so you know it was not grabbed from some website) so you know if you want to meet them in person.
The internet is just one more way of getting to know more people. If you're tired of hanging out at the bars, being set up on (disastrous) blind dates by friends and relatives, and feel as if your options where your social life is concerned is very limited, then I would recommend internet dating.

Oh Boy..first of all you are right that there are really desperate people online looking for nothing but sex or to please them. But I met my husband online on matchmaker.com and how i did go about it was. I would find the ones that i am interested in by looking at their profile (very carefully) and then email them and if things went well I would keep chatting for at least 2 weeks and then you'll find out more about the person. I was online for 6 months and I met at least 30 men just for coffee or lunch, no drinks or dinner. out of the 30, I'd say 95 percent really liked me but i only kinda liked 5 or6 of them. But i would narrow it down and then I finally found the one. bam! it was like fire works..we had great rapport online and on the phone and we met after we chatted and talked on the phone (4 weeks) talked openly about everything...I think you'll know when you meet the right one. and we have been together for 5 yrs and we have a 18 month old and we are very happy!

Hi, You are still young 22, Get out there and find some women before you join internet dating sites. Don't look for women take up a new hobby/interest get out I am sure you will find somebody even it is friendship first. Leave internet dating until you have experienced the real world/

why not after all what have you really to lose?? you will probably find that you meet more people who are on your wavelength!! personally i never met the man of my dreams in my home town and my friend suggeated that i try it, so i did. they are not people who have nothing to offer but just havent found what there looking for, as i do hope that i am not one of them people. i can also say that i have met someone who i care very much for, and if i hadnt tried then i wouldnt be able to write what i am now. try it, if you dont like it, dont do it again, thats my philosophy!! after all your sat there typing the question when you could be talking to real people who want to get to know you......go on give it a try!!! i am sure you will find who you are looking for......good luck!

its 2006, and picking someone up in a bar is the same as meeting someone on the internet. You don't know the person either way. I have tried internet dateing, actually i met the guy im engaged to on the internet. It does work, you just never know what your gonna get. Its like the surprise in the Cracker jack box..LOL..some times it sucks, sometimes its the dimond ring youve been looking for.
