we have all seen the online dating site i need not say the names i have even tried out a few of them yes they get you started for free then they get you by asking for fees after the trial is over you out now i wonder how many of you have tried the sites out there did you find love or was it a big waste of your hard earned dollar do share

I saw a 5 piece series on this on dateline nbc a few years back. So many horror stories about people dating online. I know its good and has worked for many. I wont be trying it...

plus people lie about who they really are. I saw that cat fish show on mtv here about it... very sad. We all need to be more careful.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right most f the online dating sites are charging these days and looks like all r fake sites. i have never paid attention to such sites as i do believe that such sites can never create relationships. So it is just a big waste of money.
What say?

thank you for the reply and i am right there with you it takes enough time to earn the money why spend it on a site that there is no promise that anything good will come of it

I never have, never will use a dating site. Sure two of my siblings met their current husbands on line, but they were through a sns site and yahoo messenger and they weren't actively seeking a relationship. It seems to me that most people on these dating services are looking to get laid. Maybe they can't get anywhere they live so they look elsewhere. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get from the many stories I've heard.

When i first started dating or when i first met my hubby there was no such thing as online dating. So i never got to go to them or needed to and never spent money on them. Tho if they make you pay after saying it's free then don't go to them anymore. Not only that you can't be sure what someone is telling you about themselves online is true. I mean i knew someone that went to one of those sites and the person they saw on the site said how old they were but looked so much older and when the person emailed them they found the person was older. Also iv'e heard of people posting pictures of who they say is them but it really turns out to be someone else because they don't like how they look or they use a picture from 10 yrs ago or something to make them seem younger. So even if it was fre do you think dating sites are good anyway?

There are lots of networking sites where you can meet some people and its free. When I was still single, me and my friends would frequent these sites to meet with guys and other people of our own age. Sometimes we would encounter scammers and posers but thank goodness that because we are all in this together, we prevented and helped one another from actually falling for scams. It was fun, and since we're still students, were broke and can't afford to pay those sites that requires fees.

you do bring up another good point to alot of the dating sites is all the scammmers and the fakes I once many years ago to meet a person after 4 months on line the person never had a photo of them self posted and when it came time i asked them for a photo and we then exchanged photos well the day came and i got to the meeting place and the person that walked up to me in no way was the person in this life or the next so yes we have to protect each and our selfs when we can

I think online dating is not that great because most people does not tell truth on the online dating. I would suggest you to go for normal dating with others if you are really looking for love.

There are different kinds of dating sites online,therefore i don't know exactly which one are senseable.While it both has advantages and disadvantages.But to be honest,i still prefer to meet someone right other than to date online,cuz usually people has two different sides,just my opinion.

There is no doubt that online dating is lack of trust and safe.It's hard to make a true love.People don't need to tell you true background,true identity. They are may be just some fakes,rascals.So be careful when you are dating online.

I admit, I signed up for a few of those sites but these didn't bother to tell you upon signing up that it was just free to sign up. To do anything in this site required anywhere up to thirty dollars to be there. Needless to say, there are way too many other things I can do with thirty dollars and I never spent money on any of those sites. I think it is pointless and dumb to pay for something like that. Especially when there are still so many free sites out there. You just run the risk of possibly linking up with a creep if you don't do proper research..lol

Hi,black!
I'll say just don't trust anything from online dating site,only a few people there perhaps are looking for a date.It is better date from someone you familiar with in reality.I know there are couples who met on there and now they are even talking about getting married,but what a chance!It is fun though,lies and truth,who knows.

I would say that the only time when online dating doesn't work is when you have found someone that interest you and the very person is also interested in you... here is where the online dating goes sour. People should, after they have found out that the person they liked and who liked them back is really real and , after speaking and getting to know each other better on a phone, Skype, arranging an actual date etc.
They should then stop going back to dating websites after they have found someone they actually liked, as they unknowing-ling go back and back again causing a never ending story of coming back and never commit to anyone.
I have seen many of these websites that claim to be 100% free but then they get technical with payed memberships etc.
well this is my dating website that I promise you IS 100% free, if you want you can visit it at http://www.divanerasmus.com/freedating/

There are number of websites that offers dating services through online and the most worrying thing is that most of them are fake sites with fake people. Some people entering in to those networks without even knowing whether they have proper security on dating. Only few sites offer some good dating services with real profiles.
