Just be careful of who you are talking to while doing online dating....specially the free ones like plentyoffish.com!
There are some people who are there to get make money and they know how to talk and what to say and they post cute photos....they look real, but they are not....
I was on one of the online datings which you got to pay, I had message from this very cute guy....then when I was chatting with him, I got suspicious and I search his name (the one that he gave me) online....guess what, I found a website complaining about him and saying he's a spam....he had profile in different sites and trying to get girls and tell them how busy he is with his life and he has a daughter and then later on he was asking for money....some girls wrote that they were even talking to him on the phone!!!! hehehe....I found it very quickly and i reported him to the online dating site.....they investigate and deleted him.....
anyway....be brave and go for it but with open eyes....meet in public and don't trust too much....
you look so pretty from your photo....and don't worry about over weight....come on, real women have extra pounds....we can't be model!
I want to try online dating again....I'm tired of being alone and specially that my ex boyfriend found a girl friend very quickly....it's just killing me....
well...see...you are not alone in this process....be brave...

take care
