Does internet dating REALLY work ?????

I doubt it! All these sites and dating agencies are about money and know that with the law of averages some people will connect. You are much better of meeting people in your daily life. How can you tell on the internet, for example, those cute little personality traits that you can SEE in person

Does internet dating REALLY work ?????
it can work, just like any other way of meeting people.
Reply:Sure, it's one more way for people to meet. But it's usually a sexual meat market, lots of perverts like me out there, be careful.
Reply:It's no more or less likely to work than meeting people any other way- why not give it a try? Just see it as a way to have some random nights out with people you'd never have met otherwise, whether you find love or not, it's all good fun as long as you take the necessary precautions!
Reply:I,m sure it works for some people, I,ve had a few bad experiences with internet dating all I can say is be careful of who you meet and trust. I,m still hoping that someone is out there for me.
Reply:It's not a good way of meeting people, IMO. You're better off meeting them in your daily life.
Reply:depends on your expectations...
Reply:it can
Reply:No most of the girls are bunny boilers and nuts!!!!!
Reply:My best mate just married a girl he met on the internet. They dated for two years and decided to tie the knot. I think they are really well suited and that he always chose partners wrong for him in the past. They are now expecting their first child.
Reply:yes it does... i have recerntly split up with someone i met on here we were together for 4 years it was just the distance that got to us in the end.


be prepared
Reply:Sometimes when we meet genuine people internet dating do click. But sometimes in the net we tend to lie about yourselves. I think only if you have known them thorough you can date them. I'm not against it but we need to be cautious before we make our decision. It is better to be cautious than sorry.
Reply:yes it can work if u r both commited
Reply:I think so, yes. I've met some lovely people on dating sites, and had a couple of long term relationships. A friend of mine met and married someone from a dating site she was on. If you don't meet the 'one' for you, at least you will make some new friends. Having said that, there are alot of time wasters on these sites also (and the odd one or two 'strange' people). Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Reply:Yes it does.
Reply:Depends on your reason for wanting to try it. If you are looking for love and don't go pubbing or clubbing then its a good way of meeting new people.





But if you only want to go on it for sex then that is your choice, but I would say be careful. I have seen alot of strange post on the yahoo answers and many on the dating websites. It can be dangerous, so all I would say is, be careful.
Reply:yes, have been with my partner for 4 years now, so I would say so
Reply:Yes.





Meeting people in bars/pubs etc is fraught with issues.


You don't know if they're single, what their interests are, if they want a relationship or if you even get on.


By going to a dating stite, you're removing all the variables. You know they're single, you know they want a relationship and you can see if you share interests.


By winking or smiling at someone, you can start to find out whether you are interested or not.


I found it worked for me :o)
Reply:well, depends on your luck n' faith.....lol........but mostly, it's just a fling........
Reply:in my exp. ive done both and my longest relationships have been over the internet. people that you meet in real life have a more likly hood of being based on looks first and personality later.internet is more of the reverse. it just depends on what you want personaly.
Reply:Yes I met my guy through internet dating and we are moving in together next month thank god for the internent





lol
Reply:well, I've been married for a year and a half to a man I met online. We have known each other now for almost 7 years. I think it works. :)
Reply:Cant say Ive ever tried it but yeah I think it would do if you have a strong enough connection with someone - if I met a guy that really turned my head I wouldnt be against giving it a go.


Theres way too many happy couples out there that met through this way so I guess it has to really!
Reply:yes my friend met a girl online 3 years ago and the've just got married last month
Reply:It works in the sense that it works as a way of introducing you to people to date, but whether the success rate of relationships initiated through internet dating is higher than those that are not is debatible. I have meet pleasant girls through it - and friendships have followed, even relationships.
Reply:not sure ive been trying for over a year and only met perverts
Reply:well i met guy in chat room an after 3 weeks i moved away from home aan moved in with him but it didnt work after 3 months id left but sayin that he still loved his ex an so did i so it bound not to work .. do like i say try it if u dont like u can at least say uve give it ago....goood luck
Reply:yes, if your honest, who you are, what you look like, if you really are single etc.
Reply:I think it can work - but just be careful of those who either pretend they aren't married or that they are going through a 'trial separation'. Its much easier to join an internet dating agency with secret email addresses ........
Reply:Occationally but rarely. It's too dodgy in my opinion cos you don't know who you are chatting to. I mean, i'm not really a woman, i'm a 60 year old man who likes to kill people for fun. You're now wondering if i'm telling the truth. The truth is, you'll just never know. see? Dodgy isn't it!
Reply:Ive met pervs on the internet as in real sickos but lately i met a guy on the net and we almost fell in love. He seemed ideal but when he sent his pictures, i was beginning to be skeptical. Then we set up a day to meet and i was in shock. The guy was short, had a funny shape of head, large terrifying moles on his face and his dress sense was 2%. I literally fled.





So it all depends cuz i know of someone who met his wife through the net. To avoid any scary situations, use a webcam.
