Online dating services... not for me.

I personally wouldn't use online dating if I was single. I am happily married but I have friends that use online dating and I worry so much about them when they go on dates. You don't really know who the person is and there's so many horror stories.. I prefer the old fashioned way of meeting people face to face. I don't knock people for using them tho.each to their own.

Online dating sites can be fun!..I had fun reading the all about me section and what to seek some are honest and some are just for fun.But lots of scammers and foolish people in there. Sometimes you need more luck to find that special someone. I am lucky enough to find my special someone in one of the dating site. Our relationship is going stronger and we are having our first baby soon!.

Many would say I`m too old to even answer this post. But I think that if I find someone nice, there`s no reason why age would be a problem. I once dated a 78 year old man and he was awesome. But I would not even intend to meet anyone online. I need to see the person, watch his body language, look at his eyes and hands, listen to him talk. That is not possible with a computer in between. So I would never check those services.

hi maria, I am not against dating online or online relationship there are positive and negative side of it but it depends how the person manage to handle this kind of situation. As long as you know your limitation and not to trust too much happy mylotting

I will tell you something, @mariaperalta...I met my husband online. Yes. But it wasn't via any dating site. We met through another site that is pretty much the same as mylot. Back then it was emode.com ...it had all these games and online tests like finding your IQ, if you were a dog what breed would you be, etc. My husband and I met through there. It all started because we were the same "dog breed"...hehehe. But we started out as mere members of the site who started chatting up with one another. Playing online games, answering the same online tests, etc. Then we became friends first. Which developed into something more as the months progressed. We have been happily married for 6 and half years now, and now have a lovely daughter. I know of a couple of friends who outright signed up for online dating sites like date.com and the like. To make the story short, one of them met someone from there but ended it soon after because the guy she met was a liar. He was actually engaged then to someone else. My friend was devastated to say the least. But she eventually found love, not online, but with a fellow officemate. My other friend, eventually ended up with her online guy, but they are now separated. Her husband had an affair just 2 weeks after they got married; and had a vasectomy without informing her. He verbally abuses her. They cannot yet file for divorce because they both cannot afford it. These are just my friends' personal experiences. I cannot personally say whether finding someone via dating sites is bad. But I know exactly what happened to my friends and devastated they were with their experiences.

I don't like online dating. I find it rather boring. I want meeting people on person because through such thing, I'll get to know a person much better that just online dating. But still I'm not against the concept of online dating.

no don't think it is now will ever be for me.Online dating no ways.I don't believe in people i know in person so how can i put my faith in a faceless stranger.but i have read often on how people meet through such sires and marry.Recently we invites a couple to happened to meet online and have a great marriage.So it works or for some i think u need to be careful though.

Good to know this, on line dating, on line chat, on line love are not reliable at all, best is to go for some one local, whom you can see and proceed..

I highly doubt I would have ever used an online dating site. I like the real thing. Meeting someone in the flesh is so much more satisfying. So, no, online dating is not for me either.

I didn't go through a dating service but I did meet my husband online in a chatroom. We have been together for 8 years now so it worked for us! =) I do not regret where I met him, I am just grateful that I did meet him. If it wasn't for that, maybe I would never have met him. We lived 3 states away at the time so who is to say that our paths would have crossed otherwise?

Online dating is not good for you because it would damage your health and image. You could meet SOME strangers in your life. Mainly. most of the on line dating sites are not able to satisfy the needs of a man. So take care before you enroll as the sites are based for extorting money.

I've tried online dating services before, but never ended up in a serious relationship though. Some people have good luck with it and then there are the ones that had horror stories to tell about it. But in the real world things like this can happen too, even meeting and thinking you know the person for real. My best luck was giving up looking for love and a serious relationship and then that's the time it will fall in place for you. That's why I'm happily married now!

I don't believe it. Most of them are fake sites..

Dating services... hmmm.. interesting but a bit scary. You wouldn't know whom you'll be meeting with. Maybe it's not bad if it's a group Eyeball, at least you have some people with you, but if it is one to one meeting, hmmm that's when the thinking should be done, whether to go or not. For me, meeting through online dating service, why not... but not alone.

Honestly I have tried with a dating site since a friend invited me join. Unknowingly, it's a dating site (my friend did not told me) I thought it's a social site like Facebook. My experience was indeed very funny. I don't like dating site because I feel ashamed meeting people that I might know, or might know me and my family (what will they gonna tell- hehehe) Here's what happened. The moment I registered someone pop and chat with me. Since he come from my country I relied to his chat- to make the story short... the guy works with my brother in law I deleted my account from that site after that. That was a funny experience...and not bad at all.

Hi friend, i am not interested in online dating, most of the persons using them for flirting purpose. we don't find a real person using this kind of sites, we must be very lucky to find our real soul mate using dating sites.

For some people, they do go for it. But for me, it is a big NO. I don't want to go for friends online. Good day!

I HAVE used online dating sites (OKCupid which is always free) in order to make some good friends and even two quite serious relationships. Yes, there is the uncertainty of meeting a weirdo/pervert, but before I meet someone, I always do a lot of vetting: asking real questions and trying to get to know him as well as possible. Also, I ALWAYS meet in a place that is very public, during daylight. And thanks to a friend I made through OKC, I now have red pepper spray which I can use in case of an emergency. I know several people tell a friend where they are going and what time and they check in during and after their date so that someone knows if something is wrong. Here's why I use online dating: I am a teacher and need to be professional in a lot of the environments that I'm in. I don't want my relationship status or personal life to be a factor in that. I would never date a student or a colleague for professional reasons. I am no longer a Christian, so I don't go to church to meet someone there. To me, meeting someone at a bar or other outside environment is even more risky than meeting online. At least with online dating, you can find guys who you can have a real conversation with, many of whom are genuinely nice but are just shy around girls. You can also pare down some of the "deal-breakers" before starting a relationship by stating some of your views and lifestyle choices and making sure they are up front before starting a relationship. I find that incredibly useful.
