I have dated online before , i think it puts you under presure a bit when you arrange to meet you go on a date and it's a little tence . i gave up eventually , couldn't meet anyone i wanted to be with , but probably it was to soon for me after the break up , but now i'm back and willing to give it another chance

I think in your case the sole aim would be is to go out with the intention of enjoying yourself, Forget you were once married, and that you want a girl who you can make laugh. So go for it.
I've been out with girls who I met on the net, and to be completely frank I'm going out with one at the moment. BUT I still like to look at some of the pics of women on here, and think "Yes she's quite a smart girl"   However it took a long time for us to make the final decision as she works very long  irregular hours and going out with her isn't a normal every Fri/Sat/Sun dating thing, and now we do go out I haven't felt this way about a girl in a long, long time. And before someone writes and asks why am I still on here then? it's because I paid nearly £50 and still like to read and contribute to the forums, and look to see who's got their profile on site. On another site I wrote to a girl knowing exactly who she was and after a few emails knowing what she liked, and invited her out to a certain restaurant. She just didn't twig she was my first wife.

I dated a guy met him on girls date for free, we dated for a few months thought he was mr right he was everything i wanted sadly after i gave up my house and moved in with him thats when things started to go very wrong. we split up in august last year after 2 and half years he became really **** towrds me and my children then out of the blue he told me and the kids to get out so we did but only after he smacked me about the house. so i guess i would be very wary about meeting another guy from online

Really sorry to hear that you have been the victim of a **** bully, chellee, and it is awful that your children have suffered as well. You must be in despair of ever being able to trust another man again, and who could blame you. I think it is fair to say though that this terrible experience could have happened to you wherever you first contacted the man, and that it is not to do with him being from online.

I hope your experience does not put you off men completely, and the fact that you are still active on an online dating site suggests that you still have some hope of finding a partner. I am in admiration of your courage and determination, and hope that you are successful, as you clearly deserve to be. At least your next partner is practically guaranteed to be an improvement on the previous thug.

In answer to your question...Yes I have met a few people from online dating sites, some have been good experiences and we are still friends and chat but most were experiences I dont want to go though  again.!!!!!!! I have to say that women from the UK have been the worst.

My personal opinion is that most of these dating sites contain too many fake profiles, many are here just to lure Men to pay the montly rate to the site and I firmly believe that many of the sites should be investigated by Police for Fraud!
Prior to actualy paying for membership I got 10 emails, I joined and paid money to be able to respond....guess what....No replies at all ?????? More than likely some employee of the site who sent out false mails just to get me and other men to part with a few quid.

BG, as I've just posted on another thread and Rocksy has said, why are you on here then? How long have you been using the site? Give it a few months chance, nothing's going to happen straight away!

My main issue is with the ****, but suggesting that the site itself is bent seems a bit harsh. The people on the forums seem genuine enough to me, if a bit odd, well barking mad some of them!!!

Woof! Woof!

Consider your ears scratched and your tummy tickled, Rocks. You know I can't resist your big, sad. pleading eyes and wagging tail....ok, I'll stop now.

Have to agree FB, "bent" is a bit harsh. Does make you wonder tho, it IS a common story after all. As to the question "why be on here?". Entertainment value, friendly banter, educational, and all round good fun

i met someone from another site ,everything was going fine untill he moved in stole my life savings ,car & money of my son  & left  without a word , so now i am very wary ,but i dont class all men the same brush  there are some nice men out there .just had to find them ..

Ouch!

I wish the people like that had warning signs tattooed on their foreheads.

Grats to you for still having a positive outlook after that.  I think I would just curl up into a ball and hide.

ive met 3 guys from dating sites and they ALL only wanted one thing and it wasn't my personality!
then i met a 4th online and he seems very nice.....so far!
keep trying and you just never know, got 'em crossed for ya hon xx

Hi there,
yes,I met several people,dated about three and ended up in long-term relationships. Not all at the same time!
It does work if two people want the same thing.
About ladies who are afraid to talk/meet: it happened to a male friend of mine. Perhaps they had some bad experiences,perhaps they are shy. Sadly ,some (males or females) live in a fantasy world and are happy exchanging emails but never intend to meet anyone. Don't take it personaly and move on! Dating sites are also full of genuine people who want to find love. Keep being honest and telling the truth,you will be reciprocated. Good luck!

I hope you gave back as good as you got,and told him some unpleasant facts about himself?!  "That really gets to me how people can say such things!!!!!!!!"

LOL..............I have to say, when he went to the toilet, I sneeked out to my car and drove home!!

Th e3idiot as we say he must ahve had tish in his eye. What a terrible thing to say to a woman who had taken the trouble to meet him. He sounds a right winker and will remain so methinks. Take no notice my love he's the loser not you.
The bottom lineis that people are on here to meet friends etc. When I was younger we went to dance halls or clubs. Now if you go clubbing you risk life and limb, especially in Liverpool. There is nothing wrong with dating online. Everyone you meet is a stranger about to become your friend. #

After having two painful breakups over the past few yrs, this is the fourth dating-type website I've used, although not fastidious about such things, personally I've found it hard just making contact.  99% of the time I don't even get the courtesy of a 'no thanks, not interested'.  So no, I haven't dated anyone from a site like this, and given my experiences over the last 6-8 months, I don't want to!  I'd rather save the money for down the pub with my mates TBH.  No offence, I know a lot of people who have had success with such things, but this sort of thing just doesn't work for me.

REPLY MODE from Cornellius7
Yes but not on thiw site. Also it takes thre months and u r up 4 it 48 hrs a time. A theory Ive found maybe related
is tenuously linked. ie body language in photo. A gal who has a pic of her face over her left shoulder is more likely tendind to soliloquise;she has emotional reasons for remaining single living perhaps. If a woman is over her right shoulder and artistic temperament,she is trying to attract your imagination. Its true of both sexes statistically so does she unconsciously select a bloke more full faced?  R you aman of action or a dull type(ie go fishing do u;why no pic of you with the line then?) etc etc.   Best of luck fella;its always hard to get. Chat allows u to sort out why these gals are playing with you. Just drop her awhile like an artist more keen on another pic. She will get back to you if she has been warming through nuff. Ones I know steer me to a sort of cull de sac and then dont chat anymore.

I have dated a guy i met on here for a month or so but things didnt work so i am back again. I have been on dates with other guys i have met online but when people have pictures that look nothing like them do they really expect you to want to meet them again lol. as a single parent i dont get out much to meet guys and have made some fantastic friends definatley wont be giving up on finding a man just yet
