Without a doubt, there are many people out there for lots of reasons don't have the time to look for a partner in what was once considered to be the traditional routes. I did when moving to a different part of the country where I didn't know anyone, and met loads of very attractive/interesting women, one of whom is now my well established partner. Go for it would be my suggestion.

Yes definitely if you remember some simple rules.
Put your real pics and a nice profile on...no-one gets anywhere by pretending to be younger, slimmer, cleverer than they really , they just annoy the ppl they meet
Remember some ppl are not who they say they are either.
Don 't move too quickly, take your time and check out who it is you're interested in.
Meet safely, tell someone you trust where and keep it public/ safe.
Don't reveal your ID or anything too early on, you may regret it as there are wierdoes , players etc out there.
Don't get sucked in emotionally as it's 'plasticland', you don't know the REAL person at all. The pics / personality may not be what you imagined. Ppl can look and act entirely different in reality and you may not like them at all!!
With the medium of a pc you cannot get the full essence of the person, you need the real chemistry to gel a relationship. In the event of missing information it is human nature to fill in the blanks. This is normally with the things we want in a partner, and it is your idea of them you may be 'in love' with NOT the REAL person.
Follow this advice and keep your emotions in reserve for the real meeting and you'll not only survive internet dating you may just find your life partner>

Well, it depends on where you go. I wouldn't bother with a dating site, in particular. I'd go to communities that interest you and meet people there and perhaps eventually starting something from a friendship.
I met my husband on the interent 4 years ago, and we were married February this year. We're very happy, so I don't think it would be very fair for someone to say that you can't really find anyone online.
It's similar to the real world in the respect that you have your good ones and your bad ones, and you have to sort through them.
You have to be careful, because very few people are as good as they seem to be. Like the lady said: keep your expectations low, if you do that, you won't be diappointed.

I'm one of these people who doesn't trust internet dating cos you will not know the real person until you meet them face to face and when that happens you could be in very big trouble.
Good luck to all those who have had successful relationships fro internet dating but it's just not something i would do.

I've never had any luck myself, but you never can tell who you might meet. Just be aware that people are more apt to be dishonest since it's all behind the scenes until you actually meet up with someone. Go from email, to the phone and then to an in-person meeting and just be careful.

I'd be careful with that. although I have not tried it. You never really know who you are going to meet when you decide to meet in person. Just make sure if you do it make sure you meet that person in daylight with lots of people around. Because that person could be anybody I mean just for example he could be a circus freak when he pretends he is not.

thought about it myself, but always too afraid i will meet wierdos i seem to atract them in normal daily life so ive no chance behind the scenes. hopefully if you chat to someone long enough and they are being honest with you you would get to know the person. go for it good luck.x

Stay clear of it! Save your money, save your time! Go down to the local boozer, you might not meet her tonight but sooner than later you will!
