You should use the real world for dating.. Online should just be used for 'hey u neva know it could happen'..But dont solely rely on the internet.. I'm speaking from experience..it will drive u insane!! good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100% agree. When done wrong, online is simply an awful way to meet people. Done right it can produce some pretty good finds. The tools to do it right are all found on this forum - for free!

I definitely agree Janet! I've been feeling awful because of getting involved with online dating and it is still driving me insane even after a month of staying away from it. Online dating is not for me!

It certainly does make you feel hopeless, doesn't it. I'll never understand how a fun, engaging, interesting phone conversation ending with a plan to call back never materializes......and over and over again....

You've set your expectations too high for online dating. Think of it as a weak form to find potential matches. Emphasis on potential. Those that you find you can expect to be flakier than in real life. You'll have to go through more 'no matches' that you will in real life. Expect it and you can do OLD very easily. Try to impute more value/importance to OLD and you get into some real trouble and get discouraged.
