Dumped after six years. Over the phone. Ouch. Nursed my wounds, headed back on the scene . . . the online scene.
Attempt #1 - MySpace. Total douchebag. I ended things after 4 or 5 dates.
Attempt #2 - Match.com. Bigger douchebag. I was dumped after three dates.
Attempt #3. Match.com. Exchanged introductory e- mails for a week. Sounded promising. Met for dinner and coffee on the first date. He brought flowers. Now, almost two years later, I'm certain - it's true love!
Will always be a huge, huge fan of online dating, especially the subscription services that are * slightly * less suspect than free sites. IMO, eHarmony is too expensive. But, can you really put a price on a soulmate?

The only online dating service I use is Craig's List. I'm really into the "damaged goods" that generally post on that site. Holla.

NEVER! i have never done it, and would never. it just creeps the fuck outta me. i am not going to meet up with some stranger i've never met after "flirting" online with them.
i think that it fucks with karma. you meet people at the moment you're supposed to meet them and those first few minutes are very important. being around them, physically, gives you a pretty good idea of if you need to continue talking to them or if it's something you need to let pass.
the internet takes that away from relationships. in a way, it removes you from your own instincts.
i am totally against it. peroid.

i met my husband on a really sad and pathetic sounding dating site. sadly, my freshman year of college i would fill out pretty much anything that popped up on my computer screen and say "tell me about yourself." anyway, we e-mailed and aimed for about a month before we met in person and we have been together ever since that first date one 10/29/04.
i would not say online dating is for everyone, but i don't go to bars and to me this was pretty much the same thing except we were not drinking and we got to know each other before we saw each other. that is all.

i wish i had knew the words people wanted to hear

Now. Is the first time I have encountered you. The very very first time I have "met" you. This, right here and now is my first introduction to you. Will you negate that because it is 'online?' Does that make this opportunity any less valid?

"karma" is a very romantic notion... but i work 50 hours a week and sometimes the convenience of pre-screening my Match.com inbox is an efficient method of making weekend plans. i'm too busy to wait around for the hands of fate to deliver me a new boyfriend. at one time i would have been open to just running into someone, but i don't any issue with dating a guy i meet online ~ some of my best relationships have been outcomes of online connections - i think you just have to be extra careful.
