Has anyone tried speed dating? Was it a good experience?

I did.  I went with a guy friend of mine.  I believe there were 10 people we each spoke to.  5 Minutes each.  It was like going on 10 job interviews.  Being interrogated 10 times in a row is tough!  One guy I spoke to kept being interrupted by his...girlfriend....calling him on his cellphone.(Jerk).\n\nMy friend felt just as frazzled as I did after wards and we had to immediately go have a couple of drinks.  \n\nI did have lunch with one of the guys later, but no sparks.   I don't think I'd ever do it again.\n\nHope this helps!!

First of all, Kenny - grow up. \nAny dating site will have people of all ages on it, and you can narrow your criteria to the age of the people you want to date. Match.com has lots of people over 50. So does Yahoo personals. \nPersonally, I don't think  there is any "Good" dating site. There are lots of weirdos out there, and a lot of players (including people over the age of 50). So try them out, but be aware that you probably won't find a long lasting relationship on them. Then again, maybe that's not what you;re looking for.

Man dude......if you try speed dating when you have gas,  maybe they will think the next guy did it.

YESSSSSSSSS there is one that i know of.  it's called plentyoffish.com and it's website is www.plentyoffish.com.  it's free to make a profile and free to contact other members.  it's a really good dating site b/c it is basically what the pay site would offer but it is free.  the problem is that since it's off the internet everyone is soo cautious that it is easy to chat online but nearly impossible to go out on a date.  i found meeting people through friends or even randomly at local bars is much better than internet dating.\n\nonce again your answer is yes and the site is www.plentyoffish.com  if you join you must be nice to all otherwise dont bother.

I have dated a few guys on line. My advice is this. Stay away from sites that are free. Pay the $25 usually men who are willing to pay are more genuine and are looking for a real relationship.  I have met a few crazies but 90% are nice men who are either shy or just busy with work

I did the whole yahoo personal's thing, it was awful because I was actually looking for a relationship.  In March I decided to try Match.com, within a week I found someone.  We talked online for a month and pretty soon we decided to meet.  He drove 8 hours to meet me, and he's driven that 8 hours every weekend since.  He is my one true love, and I never would have met him if it wasn't for online dating.  I realize it seems fast, but when you know, you know.  Just be careful, take things slow, and be open.  A lot of people I know think it's weird that we met online, but really, we live in 2006 and the internet helps us find everything, why not love?

It's working for me. It's like a free on-line dating service, right?

I did match.com..actually dated the first guy i met up with for a few months..recently ended. Basically we emailed, then IMed, talked on the phone and finally met. It was good for a while, just didnt work out. I would say worth a try. Just get as much info before you meet up so you dont waste your time.\n\nIts kind of nice because you can reject and even block guys if needed so it makes it easier to weed out the ones you like. And if they reject you its not as harsh as in person and theres a bunch of other guys so you wont really think twice if one doesnt write back. \n\nworth a try.

I met my now husband online, we lived 4 hours apart, and saw each other 2 times a month for 2 years.  I think it makes it easier to get to know people, and brake if off if needed.  I had a way to get the good guys from the losers, and it always worked.  Right away I would ask for a picture of their private man area, and if they sent one to me, it showed they were pigs.  First that they had thoughs pics to send, and that they would sent them so easily.  \nSure online dating is difficult, but then again, so is dating in the real world.

It's what you make of it.  I've met several very nice, interesting people by using Yahoo!, but I've also met a few from the other end of the spectrum.  If you decide to go that route, be sure to take the usual common-sense precautions when meeting someone.\n\nWishing you the best of luck!

I know 3 people who tried EHarmony; 2 of them found good matches and one of them is engaged to be married in June!\n\nMatch.com is currently advertising themselves as a place to find "the one," but up until E-Harmony's success match.com used to be a place to find shallow hook-ups.  I would suggest E-Harmony.

Ok, most people on there are looking for champaigne on a beer budget. They are never completely honest and they usually pic the best pic ever taken of them so don't expect them to look like they do on the profile. Its not completely a bad experience but you really have to filter out the jerks, liars, and dorks. Which I find easier by doing in person....and not meeting someone online. First impressions are most reliable and I think a first impression is formed before you meet a person thru online chatting....so its not true. And most times your expectations are higher than what your actually going to get. So be skeptical.

I have and it is great.  The rate is one of the best ones around and  it doesn't have a minimum.  It's fairly easy to use although getting started usually takes a week or so since they send you something in the mail first to verify you.  But once you get started it's very easy to just transfer some money to and from your checking account.\n\nTwo thumbs up from me.

Yes it is.  In my situation I have met someone in a on line dating service.  We met several months ago, after many prayers, and searching.  He and I basically complete each other.  It is possible, but when it comes to Internet dating, always be careful.

I have.  We met through an internet dating site.  We corresponded through email at first, then on the phone, and a short time later we met in person.  Not long after, we fell in love.\n\nI have every reason to believe this relationship is going all the way.  House, marriage, kids...  and he would agree completely.\n\nHere's some tips if you're seeking love through the net:  \n-Be completely honest.  \n-Don't waste time pretending to be someone or something you're not.  \n-If the person you're chatting with doesn't seem to be everything you're looking for, don't waste time giving them a chance (I know it sounds mean, but how much time do you have to waste anyway?)\n\nNever settle for anything less than what you deserve.

I have. When i moved, i went on Myspace and looked up people that were going to go to my college and i found someone that had the same taste in music. We met up and we are like best friends. But trust me it doesn't always work. There are a lot of sleaze bags on there. I've met a couple. I'd definitly chat with the person first online before u decide to meet them.
