What is on-line dating?

Mainly, having a profile online, and corresponding with someone whose interesetd in you, after reading your profile. It's worth some whilrls, but if you meet someone online, it wont necessarily be someone in the same city, state or country, as you are.

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.

You can meet nice ladies on line by going to yahoo personals, e-harmony.com or other dating sites. Be very careful, there are a lot of knuckle-headed people on the web. I also suggest that you communicate for a long time before you get comfortable enough to take it to the next level because you are always taking a risk when you date on line.

It does work and people do meet.  However online dating is reputed for people lying about their age, weight, showing old pictures and/or what job they have ($ they make.)  There are, I'm sure, hundreds of games played.  And also many sincere people looking to meet.  \n\nHope this helps.

It works.  I met my bf of almost 3 years through online dating.  That doesn't mean I didn't meet alot of incompatible people.  I used online dating on and off for about a year before I met him.  \n\nOnline dating is just another way to meet people, but it shouldn't be the only way you meet people.  If you're banking on it working, it probably won't because you've invested too much emotionally and your expectations will colour your experience.  It works when you stop hoping each person you meet will be the one and instead, decide to just have fun with the experience, regardless of the outcome.  Yes, even a bad date can be fun.  Think of the anecdotes you can share with your friends.\n\nI find it takes a few weeks to get a feel for how things work.  Then, it's up and down for awhile depending on who you come into contact with.  When it doesn't feel fun anymore, TAKE A BREAK.  Come back in a few months.  Change your profile to reflect how you're feeling.  \n\nIt's important that you feel good about yourself or you won't attract the people you want because who wants to be with someone who's down on themselves?  Online dating is really a reflection of how you're  feeling.  When you feel good about yourself, your online experience improves.  When you feel bad, it tends to be a not so good experience.  \n\nI was about to pull my dating profile because I found I was meeting lots of people through offline methods.  However, my friend pointed out that it wasn't costing me anything (financially or emotionally) if I just left my profile up.  \n\nI thought she made a good point, so I decided to rewrite my profile one last time and put it out there.  When I rewrote it this time, I stopped caring about what other people would think about what I wrote or how they might judge me.  Instead, I wrote a profile that reflected exactly how I felt and who I was at that moment.\n\nAnd then, I started to meet interesting people.  Shortly thereafter, I met my bf and things have been going well since.

yes you can fall in love with someone you met online. \n\ni met my boyfriend on-line, its the greatest thing that could have happen in my life. I'm completely head over heels in love with this man. \n\nonline dating, is just like meeting someone you would in a bar or club, but this way your safe in your house, don't have to worry about looking good or shaving your legs. \n\nyou just have to treat it like any other relationship. i mean with all those oneline dating services. its pretty normal to have met your man off of the computer.

I like the internet because it's a great way to meet people I might not have met otherwise.  One thing I like about it (over meeting in person right off the bat) is that there is a little more of a safety margin when you first start chatting on the computer  because you're not actually meeting in person.  My usual approach is to correspond and/or chat online for a little while, maybe talk on teh phone a few times (usually a cell phone) before meeting, and then meeting the person if I feel comfortable with her.  (If I don't feel comfortable with her, there will be no meeting, and might not be anything further than a chat or two online).  The first few dates would probably be in a public place, such as a restaurant.\n\nAs with meeting people the old fashioned way, you run the risk of meeting good and bad people, but the internet gives you that initial safety margin to make a better informed decision.

It is possible to fall in love with someone you've come to know on-line.  I've known couples who have met on-line and are happily married.  I believe it is completely possible.  Congratulations on finding that someone special.\n\nI suggest you plan on setting up a meeting, and see if that same chemistry exists outside of cyberspace.  Sometimes people feel much more comfortable and are able to be themselves when there's a computer between them, than when they are there in person.  Give it some time and effort and hopefully you'll have a connection in real life that is as strong or stronger than the one you have via email.\n\n"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get--only with what you are expecting to give--which is everything.

I have my theories on this, and it is SUCH a good question...\nI think that people who are playing the field online are mostly people who are relationship addicts and people who avoid true intimacy...let's face it, people...how hard is it to meet someone in real life, really?  If you open your eyes and your heart,  if you are TRULY looking to date,  there are interesting people out there EVERY SINGLE DAY who are AVAILABLE, in REAL LIFE...and totally local..I think that a lot of these people on the single's sites are maybe even married and are looking for a thrill on the side...at least a cyber thrill...which is TOTALLY lame, in my opinion.  I tried internet dating for an entire MONTH...but I found I need a real connection...the best place to find people is in places where people are doing things that you enjoy...I personally love bookstores and the library...\nwhat a cool question!

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 believe you can find someone compatable over the net, but I don't think you actually fall in love until you meet them in person.  There's something about pheremones and chemical reaction that can only take place in person, so I think you could get close, but you won't actually fall in love until you meet in person.\n\np.s.  use EXTREME CAUTION with internet dating.  There are a lot of losers and bad people out there.

I have been with someone I met online for 4 years now. We didn't meet on a Personals site we met on Napster we just happened to like the same music. Meeting someone online I think is easier bc you get to know the person first before you see them. So you get an impression of their personality before you see what they look like. Like they say first impressions are what matter most.
