Any luck with online dating?

Does anyone have luck with online dating?
Or am I the only one who always ends up with a jerk? I tried match.com, and got dates and went out with couple of them. But it had happened to me several times that we would go on dates for 3-4 times and that's it. Won't hear from the guy again but it seems like he is still active with his profile. Same happened again with my last date that I met online. Does it happened to others with online dating, too? Or am I the only one who cant hold on to a guy? :(

First rule of thumb do not take dating personally – bottom line. You’ve had guys you’ve dated 2-4 times and realize long term you wouldn’t make a good fit so cut your losses now not later especially if you’re like most of us that are marriage minded, not lets date casually minded. It takes time; dating is a process so try to enjoy the journey and try not to get too emotionally invested until you have an exclusive dating talk and always keep your options open too. Remember, confidence is key and think you know what I’m the lucky one, they didn’t waste my time and I found out sooner rather than later which means your next relationship is even closer then before.
Good luck!

On the other hand it's nice to know that all the people are (or at least should be) single. That saves a lot of time and effort right there in itself. Plus you can look for similar interests and so forth. So there's upsides and downsides to it.
Most likely, because it takes more than one date to make that decision. In fact, it can take months. That's what dating is all about.
