Anyone meet someone special?

Has anyone been having any luck with the online dating scene? I tend to meet all the freaks. I'm finding most guys in yahoo personals are a little shady, lol.

Yes, I’ve met a lot of interesting people in my years. I’ve had a few relationships and currently in one now of almost 4 months. I’m still technically single and if for some reason I have to go back out there I’d do OLD in a heart beat, it’s just easier than bars – you may go thru more frogs but at least you have options.
That’s the thing, finding someone you like mutually is rare and then hoping you have the ingredients to make it last are even more difficult but that takes TIME and there are no short cuts to that. I have faith no matter what; if you think it will happen for you than chances are it will.
Good luck,

I've met a lot of guys on match who seemed normal. Though what do I know, since they mostly ghosted after one or two dates (or five dates, in the case of one particular loser).
I don't think the site makes THAT much difference, when you're talking about the "major" OLD sites like Yahoo, Match, Matchmaker, American Singles. There's weirdoes and normals on all of them. :)
I am still (still!) seeing a gal that I met on Match some time ago. We're to that "mutually exclusive" point and while we haven't been going out THAT long, we were just talking last night about how it feels like it's been a long, long time.
My belief is that when you meet someone and feel like you've known them for a while pretty quickly, that's a great sign. If you're into past lives, then maybe you believe that your souls knew each other in the past.
Anyway, there's good guys and good gals that will also be a good match for someone (you?) out there doing OLD. It just usually takes some time to find them.
I met my boyfriend of four months online.
Shaun and I usually see each other once a week *he lives in CT, I live in MA, 45 min. Drive* So we end up missing each other like crazy too, but I am glad that he has a great job where we can email each other.
I have gone out with several men through Yahoo lately. They were all fine people in their way and one I am still seeing. Mostly, I know that there is not likely to be any "chemistry" just by the photos, but I go on a date anyhow just to meet pleasant, interesting people. Somehow the guys seem to feel the same, and never ask me out a second time!
But, gee, those ads on CraigsList--all the ads from older men are just yucky or stupid!
90% o fthe guys i dated while OLD were freaks ;) you aren't alone, trust me! i met a few good guys but things didn't work out either bc of compatibility issues or other normal dating things. but the majority were rough to get through...
also, im dating a guy now - for the last 6 weeks. while things aren't perfect, its been the most normal and consistent dating senario ive had in awhile. things are good for the most part...we talk almost everyday, at least once or twice. we see one another 3-4 times a week... and we've recently started sleeping over at each other's places. We just started a physical relationship - while things were ackward, still are, its been ok.
and its someone i would've never thought would last this long. i just met him for the heck of it. so thats why im a huge advocate of just going out with guys that seem alright. even if you dont feel that instant spark (more times than not, the ones w/o the instant sparks are the keepers)... good luck
