I would say most of dates come from the internet, but not all from POF. Being a single parent I find this is a easy way to expand your ways to being introduced to new people. It's a good source to try to get to know someone before you actually meet.

well not that much is coming from the internet , although use the internet alot . its really more a tool to keep in contact with people.
haven't really been finding alot of dates on here or girls to chat with . figure its the distance thing.
but in real life have been finding some girls lately at the bar or at work to chat with so it hasn't been all bad.

I have placed some ads recently on C-list for women friends. And it has worked out really nice. I am new to the area and I find the internet to be a very helpful tool in meeting different types of people, male and female for dating and friendship. It a good way to cut to the chase on likes, dislikes and compatibility.

Depends. Pre-October 2007, I had NEVER been on a date that originated via internet. Since the beginning of this year, all of my dating had originated online. I had been seeing someone exclusively from the end of February until very recently, so I'm currently taking a break from dating at all while my heart is on the mend.

Well, I never was a believer in on-line dating until I had to write a research paper on the great world wide web. I was amazed to learn that in 2006 over 100 million users registered with myspace and a single myspace page was viewed an average of 30 times a day. Also 1 out of 8 couples were married in that year met on line. My best friend found her true love, from another country of India. She is originally from Thailand living in Massachusetts and found her soon to be husband from India, a marine biologist, living in Hawaaii. How do you figured that?!?!?! I still can't comprehend it but I guess that's true love... alright.

I registered with myspace a few months ago, and with POF a month ago, so far no takers yet.

But I am believer...

The internet makes meeting people much easier and you can be more selective this way. I met the man I am seeing on POF in Oct last year. I have always been honest about who I am, I know many others like to play games and don't seem to take this internet dating thing seriously. Basically everyone is looking for the same thing... love and happiness. Remember: if you keep doing things the SAME WAY, you will continue to get the SAME RESULTS.

The past couple of years it's been internet dating.. or meet & greets, or going to events.. At the office I work at I have had a couple of guys ups, fedex ask me out on a date.. when you work with a bunch of marrieds it's hard being the single one... all my friends are looking for guys to date so we're in the same boat...

100% right now. I never seem to run into attractive, single, guys my age or younger who ask me out in public or somewhere else in my real life. It doesn't bother me too much. I like internet dating, and I get enough prospects from here. I have had full-blown relationships develop from internet dates.

In the 6 years I have been single... 1 I met in RL and dated him for a while...

I have been here on and off for 2 years... and it is 100% from here. Not that I don't meet people in RL, I guess it is just circumstances... A man asking me out in RL, it has been 6 years.

Ok... no mailing me for pity dates...

Been doing the internet dating thing for about ten years now. I have never really found much of any place to meet women other than right here. Meet my last wife here. (divorced about two years ago) And the last three LTRs were also from the internet. There are really nice people out there. But most of them have been burned. (I know the feeling well)

I meet lots of guys on the internet and some in real life. Many of the guys I ended up dating have come from the reptile forum I belong to. It's not a dating site, but technically it's the internet.

After a while they all kind of mix together, to the point of not knowing where one starts and the other ends.

Many times meeting some from the internet at social gatherings, or other activities will open doors for getting to know many different people in different situations that are not internet specific.

The stigma that use to be attached to the internet, meeting and dating has evolved over the years, and now it is much more acceptable to mix all your dating together and not be so specific with the place you found another.

Life and dating goes on as many of us have found out over the years, and where you find some is not as important as the kind and type you end up with and why....

Just my opinion......

I have met a few men from various internet dating sites. But most of my dating comes from men I met offline. I'm on POF largely for the forums.

This is actually kind of embarassing, but I've never dated anyone that I didn't meet on the internet.

This may actually qualify as a addiction, or a very positive outlet. My online dating started a uncertain way. Working a rotating shift one night and got bored. So, i jump online, surf the net, then came across a dating service. And just place a ad for fun. Nothing happen for months, then i added a picture, and it took off like a rocket. Fortunately, all the online experience has been pleasant. It's very doubtful, that i would have met the people i've met, and travel the places i've gone, if i hadn't been online. I would say, that my online dating is 99.9 percent of my dating.

Almost all of it.

I've only been successful once offline in my life, and that lasted a whole 3 weeks.

Online, they can't run away or make excuses so easily. The downside is, once you have a connection, getting them to leave the house and meet you seems to be the biggest hurdle after the numerous read/deletes.

Offline, gathering the courage only to get shot time and again down hurts way more than an ignored email.

Plus, with online, one would hope that this is a person that says "I'm single, and I'm available", which is what I look for in the world of dating. Not conversations that quickly switch to "Blah blah my boyfriend blah blah blah"

Not much...a lot of quick one time meets, but few I'd date. Then again I don't do a whole lot of dating anywhere, so....yeah.
