I've tried online dating, on multiple sites, for several years now. I never met anyone that I was interested in pursuing a relationship with, unfortunately.
One woman was creepy, told me she loved me before we even met, called me constantly.
Another woman had never read Harry Potter (yes, that's a deal breaker) and had failed several classes.
And just recently, I went on a few dates with a man (I'm bi) who was very sweet and smarter than my other dates, but spoke in a monotone voice. Unfortunately, I couldn't get over that (it's also complicated by the fact that I have feelings for a different male friend) so I told him the last time I saw him that I just wanted to be friends.
I did meet one woman online who ended up being a decent friend. She is kind and intelligent, and has schizophrenia, so she understands mental health issues. If she hadn't moved away, I probably would have pursued a relationship with her.
I've tried several, and I think OKCupid is the best dating site I've tried. People just seem more interesting and quirky on that site.
