I do online dating. I met my ex online and, now that I'm single again, I'm giving it another shot. I would say that I end up choosing to meet 1/15 people I correspond with in person. Of the people I meet in person, I choose to go on a second date with 1/10. So, the percentages are not great. You really have to weed through a lot of "yikes!" to find someone you like. But, if you keep at it, you do eventually find someone that you click with. It's really just a matter of whether you're willing to do the work of sending messages, meeting the people who seem cool, putting up with disappointment when they turn out not to be cool, and then being patient and hanging in there until the right person comes along. Granted, I probably am pickier than most so your percentages might turn out to be higher than mine. But I really have no other way of meeting new people, so I'm willing to take the "yikes!" if it means I will eventually find the right person. In fact, I have a date coming up on Friday with one woman and then I'm talking to a second woman who I have not yet set up a date with. So, I guess we will see if either of those pan out. Last week, I went out with two women, neither of whom I liked. So, I'm hoping this week goes better!
