I find that EHarmony has the most serious candidates. But even on there it is clear when someone only wants sex. You do have to sort through those to get to the good ones. It just takes time

I have found that the freebie sites that encourage online chatting tend to be the worst for that.

Hi and good for you to put yourself out there again! Lots of the gals here have found people online dating and I just thought I would interject that I am watching Martha Stewart right now and apparently tomorrow there will be only online couples on who are very happy. Might be nice to see how they got here.
Good luck to you!!

I suppose it depends what you are looking for.


My cousin is on Match all the time and she continuously finds guys to date...they are just the wrong ones. A girlfriend of mine found a guy last July...he just dumped her in Jan citing he needs more "him time". However, he was a good one and it lasted quite a few months...we all thought he was going to propose in Dec!


I know it can be successful, but I am leery. Think about it...you've just posted everything you are looking for in a mate...anyone can read it and "pretend" to be those things to impress you. It's like we are giving guys a ticket to break our heart.


Yes, no?

You might want to check out the Online Dating forum as well for there are many veterans who can share their experiences and wisdom with you.
