Do you believe you can meet someone online?
Posted: 4/28/2008 10:05:32 AM
Hey Everyone!!

I am new to this online dating thing. Must admit I am a little skeptical but seein as my luck in love has been nil. I figured why not give it a try. But I want to know really what you all belive.

Do you honestly think you can meet someone online and have a solid serious relationship or is a let loose let's have fun thing?

Can't wait to hear what you all have to say.

Ciao Ciao

Well it depends, do you plan on meeting them for the first time at the church?
If you look at it as a way to introduce yourself people. Then you take it into the real world.

Check out the 'testimonials.' There's MANY couples there who've met on POF and continuing in a relationship.

Honestly yes I do. Seems like alot of people have delveloped relationships from meeting on line. But the LTR I feel that is is rare, few, and far in between. I haven't given up hope yet, almost but not yet.

I think you can meet someone onling but i think it's pretty rare. Most people on here are just not serious about looking for someone.

Yes, you can definitely meet someone online and have a solid, serious relationship with that person. I have met the most wonderful man I've ever known on this site. We are in a loving exclusive relationship that is getting stronger day by day. He is everything I ever hoped of finding in a man, and more. So believe, Lady_Vstar! It can happen for you, too!

Yes I do believe I can meet someone online.

I met my last ex online. While it didn't last for various reasons that have nothing to do with the internet....we were together for nearly 10 yrs.

I have been on many dates from here since last summer. I have enjoyed myself on all except one.

But I am also not one to sit back and wait for men to contact me. I tend to be the initiator.

If I did not think that, would I be here?

Probably not.... wait, maybe for the forums.

Well, shall we say, I'm not sitting here thinking I won't.

But, then again, who knows. Things happen. ~shrugs~

You have to keep all avenues open.

Of course the forums are always informative, funny and sometimes just plain ole entertaining.

Just relax, go with it. Lose the skepticism, give it a chance. Then if you're still skeptical leave.

I live in a very small town and there are really not that many places to meet men around here. So I've found the internet as a way of meeting people. Is it working, UM NO! But eventually maybe it will who knows!

I met my S/O here & I know 4 other local couples who met on this site, so I would definitely have to say YES!!

This site is terrific, you may even find that you will also discover friends, especially here in the forums.
There's a lot of other free dating sites out there, I have a list, but I can't email you because of your email
restrictions. If you are interested, send me an email & I'll pass the info along.

I bought a couch and a treadmill off of CL. Great investments.

It takes all kinds, this is very inclusive site, I actually would never consider making a date with a woman who didn't have lifetime exclusive relationship potential, there are plenty who share my rather 1950's values with love, romance and morality. I actually had two very short relationships with women who had my values, we just were not a proper match. I had a few dates with women who had potential but they were one shot fast dinner dates without so much as a kiss, it wasn't on this site. In the 80's I ran a personal ad and had 100's of responses and had almost 200 dates with different women, most went no place, one I got engaged to!!! I had an amazing love affair but with the internet , profiles, and matching technology great things are possible if you are looking for the real thing. If you are just lookin for anything I bet you could get a few of em a week? Yes! I do think internet dating sites hold great potential for a diverse population with a wide array of goals. Too bad I broke up with my fiance from the personal ads, I just kept trying, while waiting for a woman who stood me up I met the woman I married and was true to for 18 years, too bad I didn't have her profile, I was looking for a lifetime love.

Hi all,

I'm also fairly new to this site and I'm hoping to meet someone as I live in a small town where available men are pretty scarce, and the ones that are don't want to commit.

If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate hearing them...

I've been honest in my profile and my pic is recent (2 months old), but I think I've put my body as average, but I'm a size 10, which isn't a few pounds overweight, but I'm not skinny either, so what should I put???

Cheers, Jasmin

Sure.
You can meet a person just about anywhere, if you really want to. Now, they may not be quality people, but they're people nonetheless.

Well for me Fish is mainly about the forums, having a natter with and/or see the various opinions of all sorts of people from all over the place. If I meet someone very special through it fine...but it's not my main aim in life just now (I'm simply open to the possibility of it). It's just as possible to meet your future partner offline as it is here...I believe anything is possible (I know I'm sickenly positive hee hee). So I consider it as another avenue of getting to know some interesting people (and ignoring the numpties lol).

Good luck

When you view someones profile click on the message button (at the bottom of the page). Underneath the message box should be a small version of your pic/s on your profile which you can add to your message.

Don't look at it as on-line "dating". Think of it as social networking. This way you may make new friends and bonus if one of them turns out to be someone to date

> Do you honestly think you can meet someone online ?

Yes, and it only seems kinky the first couple of times.

Beyond that, the reports trickling in are not encouraging for that "solid serious relationship" thing, nor does it sound like people are having much fun out there.
