If you and who you are corresponding to are upfront and honest I dont see why not. I know some very successful couples who have met on the net. Follow your intuition and just be careful the net like all places do have some "unusual" people who are best avoided.

not at all, it is just a matter of contact and a bit of understanding individuals that u wish to attract.\nU need to recognize and assess a good qualities and convey in a manner to that person which would enhance his self esteem. it would be effective when it is honest forthright,

I think dating sites are bs too. I hadnt had a girl friend for about 2 years and decided to get on the websites. I would send messages and never recieved any. Well after posting a question on here about dating site problems. Someone told me to be a man and go find a women. I did and it wasnt on a website.

It can work, it just depends on how honest each person is when they are setting up their profiles and then during their communcation with a potential "date."  I have a friend who does computer dating all the time as she says she can tell a lot about a person from what they write, how they say things in their writing, etc.  Though she never quite figured out the alcoholic.\n\ngood luck!

Yes, they can work.  My husband, whom I met on line, and I are approaching our 5 year wedding anniversary so you can have a long term commitment from one.  I think the better sites are the ones that have you fill out a profile and then match based on personality - In my singles days udate.com was one.  I never used eharmony since we were together before it came out, but it appears to follow the same format.\n\nBefore I met my hubby I dated a handful of guys from sites (don't remember exact number but it was probably around 8) and I never had a bad experience.\n\nThe key is to treat this just like you would dating someone off-line.  Pick people that are geographically close to you and after a few emails you should start meeting in person.  I think it's crazy when people claim they are madly in love with someone they've only emailed.  If after a few emails the other person is leery of meeting you in a public place (another necessity just to be safe) or at least talking on the phone I'd worry if that person was married or completely different from the way they were portraying themselves.\n\nHope this helps.

i know yahoo has a personals site there is also matchmaker.com and i think perfectmatch.com ...... as far as the friendfinder i kinda think that is more of a sex related site but i could be wrong. :) i never really used any of those sites those are just a few ive heard of

I like okcupid.com, mainly because it's free. It has match percentages for friends and relationships that show on everyone's profiles, and it has fun features like tests and quizzes. It's main matching feature is lots and lots of questions that you can answer about almost anything in order to improve how well OKC knows you. It also has a built in IM system and a free message box. Each account holds 4-5 pictures and has a profile that you can fill in as much or as little as you care to. It's also international, so you can meet some really interesting people on it.

Yes and No, Just be honest. I've tried it and well it worked for a bit but truly for me it was findin someone on my own the old fashion way. It's for some and not for others good luck and be honest.

I found eharmony.com to provide the best results.

You are not too old fashioned in thinking that way, it's just being comfortable with technological advances that have changed the ways we interact in society.  I know first hand that Match.com was very effective for a friend of mine in meeting her soon-to-be-spouse.  The internet just enables you to communicate more quickly with a wider group of people, so it improves the chances of meeting someone that you may not meet by chance in your local community.  The world is so much bigger than our local malls, fire-halls, church/place of worship where we tend to meet others.

It's not the sites. It's the people on them. They are just a cross section of society -- no differen than a bar or the mall. If you use your head, the sites are fine. I like eHarmony best, but they can all work okay. You just have to be smart about how you approach people.

Why don't you go instead to a supermarket at dinner time when a lot of nice men are out there buying their meals? Its a good way to meet guys that are not fake.\n\nI would forget of dating sites if I were you.\nLots of dangerous men and people out there.\nThey will tell you the world, the best that is not them and then once you are all into "mmm i found a good guy" you will only find the truth. \nHe lied, he cheated, he does not even look like the pictures online.\n\nI dont say all people online dating are bad, but a vast majority can be and it's difficult to tell unless you have known a person for a long time and you re met online by coincidence.\n\nSearch online there is an article about how online dating is now having huge problems with the divorce rates now showing up for those who were matched by online dating organizations or associations whateer you call them.\n\nALL OF THOSE ONLINE DATING SITES ARE NOT THERE TO GIVE YOU SUPERMAN FOR A HUSBAND! OR SUPERWOMAN FOR WIFE! They are out there to make money and they dont care what happens personally to you.\n\nThere is not one site that is infallible to sexual predators, perverted or dishonest people (there's tons ande no offense but if you have good health and two feet and a heart and eyes and all working right GO FOR THE REAL THING! OUTSIDE THE INTERNET!\n\ngO to a park (lots of dad's or mom's and many may be also looking for a good person to date and even marry).\n\nPersonally I would not spend a dime on online dating. And beware!! People from other countries may want your money and promise you chivalry and never ending love until they get your money and then fly out elsewhere and not even meet you. That happend to someboyd I knew. Russian ladies online can lie real good.\nBeware of distance if you decide to go online to find yr mate.\nIt doesnt work specially if you meet online, to be in different continents or countries and even States. \n\nIt is very rare that a person finds a good mate if they have not met each other and know each other for quite a while, reasoned about things together, experienced things together. \n\nJust writing online can harm serious people lookig for love. Because most people online can get away with murder and lies.\n\nDo you work? anybody there that may be better for you? school? \n\nWhy don't you volunteer into a positive cause and organization ? most likely good people will be there to meet you and will be REAL.

Fun? Doing what, typing on my keyboard? lol.. Seriously though? Yes I have dated via the internet. Never went further than it should have without meeting in person though, if you get my drift. I don't cyber.\nBut it's great, espec for someone like me. No time for dating losers, who just wanna go out with me b/c I am a Bitchin Gal or to ask me to pick up the check. In the use of a pre-date date, I totally recommend the internet. When you start to get into things a little too heavy though, watch out. It's like having a LongDistance relationship... And those are not for the faint of heart! Espec if one of you is NOT much of a typer lol..\nIn fact, my current B/F and I met online. Been dating what, 8 months now....  He's the best, and we are so well suited! (NOT Twins or anything, we just have common interests, ideals & goals etc)\n\nAnd all because of that Dastardly MySpace lol...!
