I haven't found "the one" yet. But overall it's been a good experience. It's taught me alot about myself. I've definetly learned you can't judge a book by its cover. There's more to add.
Share yours... | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 2:51:36 PM | I've done Yahoo, Match, and I'm still on eHarmony. This is by far the most fun.
My favorite thing is the cultural undertone of ~plenty of fish in the sea~. Behind each person stands a hundred more.. and finding the right person is a numbers game. Because this site has so many people on it it's easy ot work out what it is your are looking for.. plus it seems more condusive to make new single friends. I'm very pleased overall. :)
Also, I think that this site offers all of the services for free that the others do. I've even noticed that I can access this site through my Palm Phone which isn't possible using other sites.

Posted: 4/29/2008 1:08:13 PM | During the '90s I wasted thousands of dollars on brick-and-mortar dating services in Indianapolis with no tangible results.
I haven't acheived any tangible results during my 2 1/2 years on POF, but at least it hasn't cost me anything except the cost of attending local events at Rookies, Bently's, Clubhouse 2050, etc. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 9:52:52 AM | | No luck with meeting the guy for me but I've met some new friends! So far my life experience has been that friendships last longer than romantic relationships, but...I haven't given up. I'm just more selective. | |

3 years ago a woman came down here to Indianapolis from Merrillville. She hosted a POF event at a bakery and claimed she was going to put on POF events both in Northern IN and down here. But she seems to have disappeared. Guess that doesn't help you. Sorry. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 12:07:43 AM | Thus far...
-Talked to a gal from Ft. Wayne for a while, but nothing really became of that.
-Talked to a gal from Muncie, only to find out less than a week before we planned to meet up that she was really a homosexual male.
-Talked to & met a gal from around here, she was cool but not relationship fodder.
-TONS AND TONS OF "Read Deleted"
So overall.. so-so at best. But it's free, so I will keep hopes alive. | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 10:24:27 AM | I too, haven't found the one yet... All in all, I have found the people at the POF functions to be pretty friendly. I like many, get frustrated. I can't seem to get the time of day from anyone online. The ones that I do talk to at the POF parties, tell me that I am much better looking than my picture, but the guys at the functions don't seem to be interested in me.... I have belonged to many "paying" online dating sites and even one that cost a few thousand to join and the same mentality seems to exist, plus many of the same men join more than one site at a time. I don't know what guys want. I do believe however, if you are just basing your dating picks off of looks and background, you have missed the boat. I believe I have so much to offer, but the guys that I am interested in, won't give me the time of day. I don't get it.... and can understand why women leave this site...
I do think, that there needs to be more mingling at functions. I do not have an out-going personality, so it is challenging for me to play the aggressive role. I still am old-fashioned when it comes to some things... I would prefer to be chased then to chase.. lol | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 11:36:40 AM | Is it just me, or do the functions seem more about having fun that finding someone?
I refuse to go to a function just to post pictures about how one night was.
That's silly to me, and defeats the purpose.
I personally don't limit myself, in any way, to anyone.
FunandFancy....great words, more people need to be that way.

Posted: 7/22/2008 6:00:59 PM | I have been on this site for over a year but did not really utilize until about 2 months ago. The get togethers are fun, it is a great way to meet people see who they are how they act, and get an overall feel for the dating seen again. Unfortunately many of us have been out of it for a long time, and frankly need some brush up. You have to be very outgoing and also cautious, try balancing that one. The parties are great have only been on a couple of dates but have met some really nice people.
I highly recommend meet and greets, best way to see if you have any chemistry without being put in a precarious position. | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 5:20:29 PM | | I was here, left, came back. I met two people. One wasn't exactly what I thought he told me he was, At All. The other one after we met, told me he could tell I was lonely, HOW PERCEPTIVE. I think that is why I joined a dating website with social activities. but in the way he stated it, I felt so ashamed like that was something wrong. Here I am again, and yes, still alone. amazing concept. lol | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 7:09:38 PM | The point of the functions is so much more than making pictures to post about how that night was...
It's about opprtunities to network socially. There's no pressure, but plenty of opportunity. You may see someone that interests you online and the functions provide the opportunity to meet and see how they are in person. No strings, no commitment, just pure opportunity.
I'm grateful for the social aspect of ths site. I've paid a lot of money to a couple of other sites with NO results. While I've met no one I want to date on this website, I think I've met some new people that could turn out to be great friends. The right person will appear one day, I'm sure. Until then I will try honing my social skills and being a good friend! | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 11:51:16 PM | I feel you have to go into this site as searching for your best friend. You will come across others and make friends with them too but it's the whole thing of just making friends. You sure can't have too many real good friends.
How can you be lovers if you can't be friends? Wasn't a song written with those words in it?
I feel many come here with too many expectations and expectations only make pain.
Open up and accept the friendship of others and who knows? He/She could be the one you've both been waiting for! And wasn't it fun getting there?!!!!!
Let your line out.. put a bobber on and just wait. You can't get in a hurry when you're fishing!

Well, I haven't met "the one", but you never know when "the one" is sitting next to you or emailing you. You have to put yourself out there! You can't sit at home on your computer all the time and think he/she is going to come knocking on the door. Shy or not get out there! Let the world know who you are, if they don't like you just move on, but always be yourself. I also know you only get one shot at this life so make it good, don't worry about what others think or say!
From this site I have had some great dates and met some really great people, have many friends now that I would have never had before. My bestfriend in the world I met on here, when I need someone I know I can turn to him!
I have also found that every man I have met has been better looking in person than in his pic, so that is something for everyone to think about pics just don't do us justice. But I believe everyone just needs to take their time and not rush this whole finding "the one" thing. Try things and people you have never tried before. Give people a chance to show you who they are.
But I think until you find "the one", you should get out and have a good time and maybe just maybe you will find" the one"! Don't know unless you try, right? Go to the POF parties or get togethers in your area, I have been to two and they both have been great fun! And I think the pics of the parties are great!
Your fishy is out there just take your time and find him/her!
Good Luck to all! | |

Posted: 8/21/2008 2:28:18 PM | | I enjoy going to the events, sure beats sitting at home all alone and so what if it isn't a way to find the "one", like anyone expects a bolt of lightening to strike while you're on the dance floor. Take it for what it is, a way to meet other singles in the same boat and if you do find someone special, then go for it but don't be down if you don't, there's not a thing wrong with being single with a great group of people to hang out with. | |
