I have gone out with lots and lots of guys. I will be honest, I have met most of them online because I feel that is the easiest way to meet them. No one has worked out because either he is a jerk, doesn't look like his picture or has issues communicating. Those seem to be the top reasons, at least. Is anyone else experiencing difficulty? Anyone else out there that has gone out with a ton of people and as frustrated as me? Any success stories after years of dating and being single?

Welcome to the club. You have described it about right. It does appear that the Internet does attract the creeps, the uglies, those who hide behind anonymity and don't want to provide good photos, the guys with strange ideas and guys that ignore your rules and try to insist on having things their way.
Rather than dating sites, I have had better luck meeting quality guys in political groups such as supporters of Ron Paul who is very popular with the young people on the Internet. There are Ron Paul meet up groups and things like that on the Internet and you avoid most of the creepy crawlers you find on Internet dating sites.

Sorry, but no success story from me. People say there is someone for everyone, I don't doubt that but I think it takes time to find that person. On-line is the easiest way to meet people, however it will never be the most effective. The best thing to do is look for someone face to face. I understand you may be against going to A bar to find A guy (bars are not for relationships, just sex), but there are other social settings to try. Good luck to you and any of us who need somebody.

Yes there are lots of singles experienceing difficulties when it come to finding that special someone. You should settle but perhaps maybe you could evaluate what is really important in a guy. For instance you shouldn't settle for a jerk but if a guys picture is a bit more handsome than he looks in person, don't you think you could live with that. Compatability, respect, and a whole lot of others are important in relationships, looks shouldn't be at the top of the list.

i prefer online as well as i tend to be reserved around people --- i have met a few ladies and for one reason and another things have not worked out --- i have "met" someone i care for very much --- we still have to meet in person just to see if the feelings will continue --- yes im afraid there are a lot of guys that are just idiots --- they are not able to start and maintain a relationship in the real world and think online will make it better --- there are success stories and i know of a few ladies personally that have found love online --- as i found dont go looking too hard and keep an open mind --- best wishes

When I was a freshman in college, I visited my girlfriend of nearly two years at her college. She had been cheating on me for months, and when I went to stay with her, she made me stay in his bedroom while they fooled around. It was then that I signed up for Match.com and enjoyed nearly four years of solidarity.
(I met someone in between, but for the sake of the story...)
The October after graduation, I finally decided to message my top mutual match. Since I didn't pay for Match, I signed up for the full service so I had access to the messaging capabilities, just so I could e-mail her. We've been dating for just a few months shy of two years, and the future is only looking brighter.
While Match might not be for you, or even online dating for that matter, it doesn't mean there isn't someone out there who's perfect for you. And that doesn't even mean there aren't three or four people who would know just what to do with you if the opportunity came along.
Trust me, sometimes it takes years. And after that time, if you find somebody who actually gets you, and loves you for it, don't you think it's worth the time spent?

You need to try to meet people in real life. Go to activities that interest you and have large groups. Join social clubs (book club, gym, go to the library or church. The internet is hard. Some people are lucky enough to meet someone and make a relationship and some people aren't. Find a different venue so you have different options. There is someone for you, you just haven't met them yet. You will. The world is a big place.

my opinion? your trying too hard hun! I think the truth about love is that it's going to find out in the most unexpected way and time. If you try to find it yourself, you'll mess it up! Online dating, I think, is a waste of time. Get out and explore the world, it's people and just live your life. Maybe take a break from relationships to further your education, or spend time with your family.

First of all, all men have problems communicating.
Try the old fashioned way of meeting guys. Go out with gal friends.

Let me get this straight- You are looking for someone who is not a jerk, looks like his picture, and doesn't have issues communicating? Yes, there's someone out there for you- "Her" name is....
