I don’t want to do online dating anymore. It’s supposed to make things easier, but it turns out to be a chore. I wonder if people ever meet one-on-one and make it work that way anymore. Thoughts?

I don't do online dating. I have never found it enticing. I prefer to meet someone under old fashioned circumstances. My friends who do online dating never seem satisfied with their experiences. I guess it works for some while it's a disaster for others. There are some success stories though.

I didnt see your other post. I dont think you should worry about dating. Maybe just look for activities that make you happy and live independently?
I met my boyfriend online but not on a dating site. I think online helps people because they dont have time and can narrow the dating pool to people with similar interests and personality. Last edited by Confusedinomicon; Jun 25, 2012 at 02:28 PM. |

I met my girlfriend on an online dating site. It worked for me because I was new to the city, didn't know a lot of people, didn't want to mix work and pleasure, and didn't have a lot of opportunities to just meet people out and about. Of course, it took going on some dates with the WRONG people before I met her-- some were just ok, some were downright bad-- but, in the end, it was well worth it! Of course, online dating isn't for everyone. But, for me, it was the right decision!

 You are bound to meet new people, thus growing your social circle (ps, yes, I am being a TOTAL backseat driver! I am nowhere NEAR ready for dating nor am I ready to get out to do "fun" "interesting" activities. But it looks awfully good on paper and sounds great for when I AM ready...sounds like you are ready, my dear!) Keep us posted! You can do it! |

I did online dating on and off for years...8 years maybe? It did have a happy ending though...I just married a great guy I met on match.com. My advice is if you are frustrated, take a break, but you always can go back.
My other piece of advice is to only use sites that you have to pay for. This weeds out a lot of people who are looking for something quick and physical rather than s relationship. Dating can be rough. I've never understood people who think it is fun. Hang in there and good luck! EJ |

Yea I've heard mixed messages. I've done it but it seems like a chore. I'm not ready to date just yet, but the ex is already online and talking with a girl. We haven't even been broken up for a week yet and he's on the online. Makes me mad and jealous at the same time, I want to see what she looks like and compare myself to her. Bad, huh? Yea, I know. Gonna go it alone for now...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
