Is there anybody good out there?
| Sat, 10-28-2006 - 9:00pm |
I'd like to hear from people who have actually met someone online and developed a good (and lasting) romantic relationship. Where did you meet them? What websites are good for meeting people? Any advice for those of us who are still looking?

Hey, I don't have a lasting relationship, but I just got home frome a date with the NICEST guy. It was our second. We went to dinner, a haunted house, a third place for dessert and then kissed in the car for almost an hour. I'm still floating!!!!!!
We have plans for the next two weekends. Now, I realize I could be completely wrong about this guy, but he seems like the real deal. Very genuine, very sincere---very smart. Is he going to light the world on fire or win a modeling contest? Nope, he is really ordinary (cute!) but he's MY kind of ordinary.
And the freakiest thing is that he is only the second online date I've had. Yes, the first was a one time disaster, and he is my second. I dated one other guy before trying OLD. Is it possible that the third guy I date after my separation could be something lasting? I don't know, and I don't dare to hope so just yet. But I can't wait to see him again! GOod enough for now!
I met my current bf online(in a yahoo chat room) we then progressed to chatting on msn, and then decided to meet up as friends, this was about 7 months ago, and we have been dating for almost 2 months now.
I'm still looking just like you. I've gotten so used to being single at this point that I'd almost rather stay this way....at least sometimes I feel this way! The best advice I can give is to not settle for just anyone because you are single and would like to be with someone. Set your standards high. You Will find someone. It's better to be alone and wait for the right guy than to settle for the wrong one and not truly be happy.
Hang in there!
Thanks for the input I've gotten so far. I completely agree that one has to have standards. If I wanted to date someone just for the sake of having someone, I wouldn't be single right now. I'm tired of wasting my time. I spent a year and a half with someone I've known since sixth grade. We broke up a few months ago. He dumped me two days after we looked at engagement rings. What a jerk! He broke my heart, but I'm on the mend. I'm kind of cautious when it comes to meeting new people, but if someone I've known over half my life can hurt me like that, I guess I can't really expect any guarantees from anyone. I would rather be single than date another jerk or some guy that I'm not really into. I'm holding out for a good one this time.
So, no horror stories about online dating so far. I guess that sounds promising.
