    Not meaning to offend anyone but really find it the last act of desperation.

    I have and have met some very nice people as well as a few creeps also.What i do like about it is that you can get a feel of the person before you meet them unlike random dating.
    I know of many couples that have met on line and have been together for a few years and i know many people that have had bad luck with on-line dating....not much different than hooking up in a club.

    What a joke! I am not Superman. That's what many women want on these sites.

    You are wrong! All they want is a man that will treat them right! Simple as that!

    Not sure about that. I treated my ex wife very well although we just couldn't see eye to eye. Either my dating profile isn't very appealing or something but I haven't had much luck.

    Sorry to hear that. Back when I was looking I was able to have a first meeting with 9 women in one month. Yea way to many but it was fun. I went into each meeting with no expectations and because of that I simply had fun doing it. I finally found a women I could not leave alone and we ended up married. What I found was that I was the one that had to always make the first contact. Once I did that it was pretty easy.

    If you go into it not expecting every woman to be the right one it can be fun and entertaining but it takes a very positive outlook. I never pushed any of them to tell me anything about themselves that they didn't feel comfortable with including where they live. I wanted them to know that they were safe with me because that is critical for women.

    I came across, and had a first date with at least a couple of women that intimidated me. Of course that made me very nervous and it did not go well. They were very beautiful and very intelligent and they had their guard up a mile high. It was easy to see right away that they were looking for Mr. Perfect, at least in their minds and nothing else would do. Following the first date we never talked again and that was good for me.

    Do not wait for them to come to you. If you expect your dating profile alone to make the sell then yo...

    Do not wait for them to come to you. If you expect your dating profile alone to make the sell then you have a real problem. I found that if you talked with them and let them get to know you they are much more likely to except the first date. After that it is up to you where it goes from there. The more they know about you and the safer they feel about you the better off you will be.

    It can be safe providing you take the necessary precautions. Never let anyone know where you live until you have known them long enough that you feel you can trust them. Never ever meet for the first time except in a very public place and then only for conversation.
    If the person you have met does not wish to follow your rules drop them as they are not what they seem.

    thank you so much..... you have no idea how much I appreciate that great advice.... seriously..........
    I am afraid of internet dating.... I want to see and talk to the person.....
    I can't get into it....for some reason.....
    I just need to see.... I want the real thing or nothing at all....?
    That is just being me.....cuz, I'm just me.... Barefoot....Peace and Love...
    Sending many hugz and blessings,
    Love, Barefoot;)
    I m just me barefoot

    Thank you Barefoot. I do think women have a much harder time of it than men do. At least that is the impression I get from my wife. She searched for several years, dated many men, and just never found someone she could connect with until I came along. I am very grateful for that because I had only been looking for about 2 months.

    On-line dating is not that much different than meeting them any other way if you go into it the right way. First you get to know them on-line and I only picked women that I knew lived locally. Then if you find you like what you see in a given person then have the first date at a coffee shop for conversation. There should never be any rush and if a man pushes you to go faster than you feel good about just say goodbye.

    I do know that it is scary. While looking for my wife I met another women at a restaurant. When she came in and we sat down she was visibly shaking. I felt so sorry for her because I could clearly see she wanted to do that but was so afraid.
    I simply put my hand on hers and told her that it would be fine. After that she calmed down and we had a good conversation.

    I would never fall for someone without getting to know them in person. Too many have and they are really setting themselves up. I wish you well in however you make contact. Just do it the right way for you and all will be well. :-)

    I so appreciate your reply........
    great advice and I heed that advice....
    it is scary ...we agree... ;)
    I'm not really focusing on finding him right now.... I'm so busy.... taking care of my children and grands.... and my new house.... that is the least of my problems.... in all reality.......... if he comes that will be great..... whatever is how I exactly feel right now..... I don't care... either way.... It will happen though in God's own time.... I've been praying for that for quite awhile.... in his time my answer will come♥

    You are most welcome. The really important part is that you are okay with where your at. If you are happy now then you are right there will indeed come a time when God will answer your prayer and it will be well worth waiting for.
    My very best to you Barefoot! :-)

    I hate the picture of the woman looking disgusted. I know it is just a joke but I can't stand shallow people. Back to the subject. I just do not trust people online because I have never met them and I do not who they are.
