I found my mate (of 4 years) on Plenty of Fish..I like POF because it has millions of men on it...and the search function lets you change the criteria...lots of selections in the search criteria...men/woman, how many miles away, things they like...don't like....

Very easy to talk to people..the private messaging is great...not like some site where you can't give phone numbers...etc.

The most important thing for me about any dating site..is after a couple of correspondence I like to give my phone number...cause I think it is very important to check out our communication style.

I have had guys call me and within 5 minutes I don't like the way it is going...like he is talking over me...or I am talking over him...Or I just don't like his voice or his laugh...Depending how I felt..I could sometimes say..Uh...I don't think this is going to work and it has been nice getting to know you...Or if I feel bad for the person and can't say that..then I just ignore them after that....But, the PHONE gives you great insight.

Cause when I met my boyfriend that I still talk to and have been with for 4 years (broken up now)...We talked for hours and hours..it was a free flowing conversation with plenty of laughs...

I ended up meeting him in person and it went from there.

The phone conversation is imperative to me.
