Yes you can, as long as you make you intentions clear.
If everyone would be honest about what they are looking for - it would work a lot better!!
I second that you have to make your intentions clear - right up front. | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/5/2008 1:43:29 AM | | Yes it can work but there are some nuters here a well. I have meet someone well he got in touch with me and we have seen each other as often we can (he is Doctor working in Hossptial) Just take things at a pace that suit you . I am sure if we will be a long term thing but we both would like it. Give it a try | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/5/2008 6:20:35 AM | Don't be sceptical, it's great! I have met so many people and keep in touch with most of them! I've had wonderful relationships and brief encounters thanks to online dating. The only difference between meeting people from the net and in the bar/work/through friends is that the net brings us closer together, otherwise we are exactly the same people who walk past you in the shopping mall, and not "freaks and perverts", those can be detected anywhere! | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/5/2008 10:53:27 AM | | After the past 16 months of being steady on here I would say no for long term and yes to short term or fun. There are not enough normal guys on here that want that. Most just want a quickie! | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/6/2008 12:04:57 AM | Yes you can. I dated someone for quite a while. Ive made many friends both genders. My house mate was pretty much the first person I ever spoke to on the internet years ago. We arent a couple but his my best friend. | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/6/2008 1:51:05 PM | | I think you need to lighten up as I think there are a lot of nice people on here but like anyone may not be too quick to show their true feeling etc until they feel comfortable with a person whether thats online or in person. I certainly know I am an honest and caring person and there must be many online but of course you have to avoid the people who do no present themselves as who they are and are not what you are looking for but thats how it is in life. This site gives us all a chance to meet people quickly and decide who might be worth meeting. Why worry about the people you consider dishonest just hit delete or block and move on. Happy fishing and just enjoy the search. | |

What you believe does transpire eventually.....so why not adopt a positive 'tude about dating and then go with the flow? | |
|
| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/7/2008 1:12:00 AM | | I view the whole online dating thing as another "tool"...its not my only means..but it adds into the broad spectrum of things...aides in getting to know people....and especially if your a quiet//reserved type...its very useful~ | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/7/2008 3:25:36 AM | For me it is hard to say. I am 32 years old and in my personal life I have little time to meet anyone. I figure it's worth a shot and I hope to meet someone online who is serious one day but I may only make friends and that's okay to. | |
|
| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/7/2008 7:07:06 AM | As someone above mentioned... Short term - Yes. Long term - No.
I think the attractive women get so much attention that many are always looking for someone better to come along.  | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/8/2008 7:14:08 AM | | Who knows? I have three friends who met their partners online (2 are now married with kids, the other is engaged with a baby). I don't honestly believe I'll meet anyone worth dating at the bar either but, I go there with my friends once in awhile. If something develops from friendships online, great, if not, oh well, I still met some new and interesting people. | |
|
| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/8/2008 8:29:13 AM | | Oh I definately believe you can meet someone online, I've had some great experiences and met some wonderful people. Certainly better than meeting anyone in a night club and with common interests to build on :) | |
|
| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/8/2008 12:33:06 PM | I too hope so. Why? I don't do bars. Don't go to church. Work with men and mostly deal with men working in construction. Meet women on the outside.
What? Like at the store, gas station, etc. ? Women in those positions are paid to be nice and, probably, get hit upon dozens of times a week. Do they like it? Do they don't? It is no concern of mine for I'm not capable of making that type of conversatin.
At an on-line dating service, a person has the chance of communicating with someone first and making that 'important' connection. Is it tough? You bet. A person just has to have faith, relax, and take everything with a 'grain-of-salt.' | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/8/2008 12:59:44 PM | I hope I can meet someone online but I am keeping options open to meet my Ms Right in other ways.
I find too many women want to do the "multiple dating thing" but expect men to cater to her. Some have unrealistic criteria and expectations for a guy to meet. | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/8/2008 1:49:16 PM | | I know a woman who has a profile on this site who says to men she is looking for a LTR when in fact she is looking for a free dinner and to dump the guy to move onto the next one for a free dinner. So it can depend on what you and the other person are really looking for. | |

| Do you believe you can meet someone online? Posted: 5/8/2008 2:33:16 PM | | I think it's a great way to meet someone local that could lead to a relationship. For me, it's just another outlet that allows me to meet people I would have otherwise, never known about. Additionally, when you meet people in person, you don't really know what type of relationship they're seeking, if they are divorced, if they have children, what their interests are, etc. - which is all important information to know before you begin getting involved. Online gives you access to so many more people, yet it's awkward because the in-person dynamics can be very different. But this site is free, so what have you to lose? | |
