<p>Anyone ever try it?&nbsp; I've been asking around and people seem to like either EHarmony or Match.&nbsp; I was wondering if anyone had any opinions or experiences with either service.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>JohnnyCard</p>

<p>Sounds kinda weird to me.&nbsp; I like meeting people in person, but I know a guy who tried it and seemed to have positive experiences.&nbsp; </p><p>Then I know a guy who got stood up.&nbsp; It's just like regular life then I guess.&nbsp;</p>

Ive tried it, since i dont have luck w/ women in person. 1 girl stood
me up, another thought i wasnt really into her, and another lied aboot
her age. said she was 19. found out she is 16, which pissed me off. I'm
really getting annoyed. I've never had a g/f and i want one. Every girl
i like burns me. &quot;ur a great guy and have a super personality but...&quot; i
hate that.<br />

<p> </p><p> </p><p> Craigslist
is great. It's free (which makes the pool limitless), anonymous to
post, and totally random. If you're a good writer or have something
cool going on you can find a girl on those boards. I've been on more
than a few dates using the site, and have never been stood up. </p><p> </p><p>
Plus you get to know a lot of people. Some have been horror stories, of
course. Some big girls, some really dumb, but most of those get filtered out when you read what they
write. Or you could always just stop talking to them and post another
ad. </p><p><br />

I tried online dating for a while, the last time being about a year ago.&nbsp; Wasn't terrible, but the matches they paired you with by common interests weren't really good matches, in my opinion.&nbsp; Its worth a shot if you're interested in it, and as others have mentioned, being honest is key.<br />

<p>Do what I did, find your chick on a messageboard!</p><p>Seriously though, I could never do online dating or crap like that. You need to socialize, get out and meet people, make friends or even go to board events or something where you meet real folks. If you're lacking social skills these types of things are great ways to get to know people. </p><p>I fell into this weird rut where I didn't much socially for a very long time and I ended up paying the price for it by losing my ability to talk with people. I developed phobias about what I said and if I would come off sounding stupid. It affected my ability to meet new people and most importantly to find someone I wanted to be with. When I realized this was my problem I immediately began working on ways to improve myself. I got out more, went to parties, shows, and hung out with friends from work. After a while it got a lot easier for me and my fears started going away. I met someone (this is years ago) and started dating and met someone who really helped me get back all the confidence I had lost. After that relationship ended I was lost though I quickly bounced back and found someone so much better in so many ways (Amy). My whole point of this, is that I gave the online dating thing a thought for maybe a second and then quickly decided that if I was going to meet someone and have relationship I should do it on my own. I think I was so much better for it because ultimately a became a better person and I met someone who I love so much. I wish you the best of luck no matter what you do.</p>

ok, so i joined match last week, and so far nothing.&nbsp; It seems to be just like a bar or club.&nbsp; If they don't like your picture, there is no response.&nbsp; I've written a few girls and winked at many.&nbsp; So far, I'm not diggin' the match.com.&nbsp; Hopefully, the next three weeks will be different.&nbsp; Anyone have opinions on eharmony?

Women like it if you're not so foward. Try posting a picture where you're not jerking off in front of a computer. <br />

Some of the women like when you write to them instead of wink. The more effort you put in the more they are willing to respond. Chances are if you like them there are like 30 others who sent out winks so be patient. I sometimes got responses two weeks after I sent an email or response. </p><p>Do not be discouraged. Find something to send to them in the email that you found interesting in their profile or if you have a mutual interest, like country music or skiiing or dancing,,,things like that.</p><p>And make your introduction interesting...even at the risk of being corny. Something like &quot;Allow me to introduce myself...&quot; insteasd of just &quot;hi&quot;. They tend to open those emails and send the generic other ones to deletion&nbsp;hell.Even though you might come across as a LITTLE corny (depending on your intro...)&nbsp;with those kind of introductions&nbsp;sometimes you will get them to chuckle from it and that is always a good start. </p><p>Keep it up...let me know how you are doing. You can PM me if you would like and keep me posted or if you want &nbsp;I can offer some advice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

typically like good looking Asian women anywhere from 18 to their mid
20's pending on the individual's maturity.&nbsp; This is not an easy
task (unless you are at a University or Asia) especially when partying
in the city tends to be more of a hassle than fun at times.&nbsp; Match
cuts to the chase and if you have the goods it's a great service.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For people like me with specific tastes it cuts a lot of corners and is really helpful.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is NO WAY I would have met the lot of Asian honeys I have (without the help of a University) without such a service. <br />

There was an old stigma that online dating was usually practiced by people out of desperation or the inability to meet members of the opposite sex in a more &quot;traditional&quot; means. This misunderstanding has led many people who have dating &quot;problems&quot; to believe that the women or men that will practice online dating share the same &quot;difficulties&quot; hence giving the individual a greater chance to hook-up, score or whatever you may be looking for. Unfortunately, this is not the case and will lead to much disappointment. This is all the same playing field boys and girls and there are leagues here as well.&nbsp; The major perk being you get to choose from a stable of women or men that are of a type you are interested and/or attracted to.</p></font>

Meeting people online, then in real life, isnt bad.

you really need to get some self confidence and stop putting yourself down.&nbsp; when your friends see/hear you do this, they're just going to add to it.&nbsp;&nbsp; nobody really wants to hang with somebody that constantly puts themself down and whatnot

So many with problems meeting the ladies. Simply spit on them and call them a dirty whore and they'll love you forever!

Seriously though, meeting people online can be just as hazardous and "normal dating", whatever that is nowadays. However, for the horribly introverted like myself, it can offer great opportunity to open yourself up to others. It could even be the first step to doing the same in public. So go for it!

Saying all that, I've never tried those online services myself.
