Does anyone else think it's sad to do online dating (like match.com)? I'm thinking about it but it makes me kind a little...well...pathetic. Also, like I may just find losers there (like, why can't they just get dates?). Is that an old way to think? Does everyone do it now?

Well I think it makes you brave, adventurous and very modern. Who has the time for traditional methods of dating anymore? Not many people do. It is extreemly hard to meet single in the area. Many people on the dating sites are not losers they are just people like you and I who lack the time or even the outgoing nature to be noticed traditionally. Maybe these people have busy lives that are consumed by work and they do not want to date collegues. Maybe they are unable to meet their soul mates in person and are trying online. If you strike out there at least you get the potential of a whole new social net work and who knows where that will take you. Just be very careful, as appealing as this all is you must take precautions:) Good luck!!!

Online dating services of today have changed dramatically over the years where now, you will find a service for every situation imaginable. For example, free online dating sites of today feature romantic opportunities for people of all ages, financial status, religion, ethnic groups, and geographic locations.

I tried the whole online dating thing, and yes it is a little pathetic. I quit after about 8 unsuccessful attempts at dating someone from the site. I came to the realization that if they were worth dating, they wouldn't need a dating site to get a date.

I think online dating is someone's personal choice. If you are a shy person and are unable to approach someone it's very hard to find that special someone. In that case online dating would be a great option.
If you are a very outgoing person and meet tons of new people everyday, I don't think sitting behind your computer screen is the answer.
That's only my personal opinion. I've heard that a lot of people find the right one using online dating so if you're comfortable with using the service, why not!
Good luck in your search!

You will never know until you try. Yes it is a bit sad to resort to online dating, but some times there is just no other way to met someone you click with. So good luck and happy online meeting.

Sometimes online dating is best for someone (like myself), who is very busy with work and other obligations. You really can't find the time to "date" anyone on a meeting basis.

As technology improves...we have less time to go out and look for mates...online dating is one the very HOT thing many people do...and it does turn out successful for lot of people. Just try it once and see how it goes.....there are soo many variety of people you can find online..and they are not really all loosers...they are just people like us who just dont have time to go out all the time and find someone.....So go ahead and try. If everyone was not doing it than there wont be sooo many of these websites.

I just watched this thing about that on GMA this morning, and if you go to places like eharmony.com, they actually do a personal profile on you and match you with someone that fits your personality, morals and values! I think it's neat! If people are answering honestly when they do these evaluations, and it minuses all the foot work and bad dates, why not? It's the WAVE of the FUTURE........

I have a friend who met her bf (of 6 months and still going great) on match.com. So, maybe it can work for you as well.
