Start with a general connection ie. music,sports, movies. most people stick with people they can trust and rely on.I have only 5 friends but a million acquaitances some border as friends . So just try to mingle be open to suggestions and events.but above all be yourself . people usually smeell a fake.

This is a good place to meet people.  Just be careful to not get too carried away.  What kind of new friends are you looking for?

AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ send messages character for character over the network.  Anyone who wants to may read your messages.  Also the structure of the message is not very complicated so anyone who knows what they are doing could pose as you or someone else with no need to know your password.\n\nYou should observe safe practices while you are online.  You should not meet someone (even if you think they are your friends) in a place where you are at risk for kidnaping or assault of any nature.  While I think that the internet is a great place to build good friendships with people you may never have met otherwise, remember that it is not difficult to hide intentions especially on the internet.

I don't think there is a diffrence. I liked talking to guys on here first so i could get to know them first and then meet them. I know people would probably think i am crazy but i met my husband on the internet. If i had never been in that chatroom i wouldn't have the good man i have today. Most people say that only ugly people online date but i think that is f**king crazy. Don't worry about what people think its your life and you may meet the man of your dreams...

it is a good place to meet other ppl.. I have met alot of s.a.h.m.'s from all over the world and you can be picky about who you talk to as well... plus making the pages is really fun!!!

Well, that's plenty of options: online dating sites. Some are for free and some are paid ones. Personal-page sites are another option. Mostly they are for free of charge. Set your page as you wish, as attractive as possible. This is also similar to those online date sites but these ones normally have more attractive detail features. Or you can search through Instant Messenger services where you can chat directly with your 'targets'. Good luck!

E harmony sounds good but that is a personality dating site. Depends on what type of people you want to date too. My brother uses adultfriendfinder.com. it has pictures and i think a chat room and webcam on there. but i think yahoo is pretty good. match.com. well there are some few.

It's just an alternative in looking for someone...in no way is it better or worse then going out some place to meet someone.  You can learn a lot from someone online in a shorter amount of time then you can anywhere else.  Saves people from wasting their time and lessens the chance of getting hurt or disappointed.

I have met three women that began as on-line conversation. It was very cool, as we came to know alot about each other before we met in the flesh. - Personally, I think it is a great way to meet people, as long as you are smart and safe.

Add only people you actually know. If you want to meet strangers, just check out other people's profiles (and maybe even testimonials, so you can see if the person is being truthful or not) and base it on your own judgment.

I've met a few people on internet dating sites, as long as they are fairly local you can arrange to meet or talk on the phone. I've also joined local groups and taking up hobbies like climbing and swimming.\nI've heard of people meeting up in supermarkets and at bus stops, and of course at work or college.\nGet out there, and don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself now and then.\nGood luck

AIM is the most used and most popular.  People who have just AOL use it plus people who have other internet providers.  It has been around longer and has more loyal users.  you can alos add songs to your library and people can transfer back and forth if you allow them.    \n\nHowever Yahoo has a better cam chat and you can do offline messaging which is nice.  \n\nMSN is growing in popularity adding offline messaging and has a decent cam program.  \n\nVoice chatting is pretty weak across the board.  \nAOl instant merssanger is still the largest best for straight up chatting.  \n\nICQ is another but your known as "a number" and the connection is weak.

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!

Well think about where you are meeting these people and don't go there. There are plenty of places to meet decent people (church, library, school, supermarket, volunteer groups). Try out some of these and you will meet a better caliber of people.
