I've received a couple winks from match.com. I guess the last time I checked it out I made my account active without realizing it... but I'm still too chicken to take the plunge and sign up...

I've just been a big chicken lately... but not about dating... about work. :-(

I dont' have the internet at home....sometimes I borrow my brothers. I have access to the internet at work, but i wouldn't want to get caught checking out profiles.. (this board is okay). I totally can't wait for the iphone so that I can have the internet with me whereever i go....

should i just go for it and try the 3day free trial? I've also gotten a couple emails but can't access them since I'm not a member..... decisions decisions???

Sign up! I bet a month costs no more than a night of karaoke!

I guess it depends what you can afford financially. I am not sure what the iphone costs, but I know that it can get expensive to activate your phone into internet, because you kind of get hooked once you have access, which can accumulate your bill easily. Let us know what you decide.

About the iphone, i looked up the service plans and you get unlimited internet and email with every plan. BUT i still might wait to buy one of those....

And west is right.... if I sacrifice a night out of karaoke (ie babysitting costs) that would equal online membership...just about. I've always thought that... but at least when I go out karaoking, I know I'll have a good time... OLD is scary.

haven't decided yet.

Most online dating sites use winks to lure prospective customers to sign up for membership. I found most are not "real" people who wink. Sign up because you want to be a member not for someone winking at you.
