Anyone still dating online?
Permalink Closed

I am thinking about putting up a profile.

What are the best sites?

I am kind of afraid of doing this, so tell me: is it worth it?

well, i was on match.com, but it's a total meat market & the guys are not all that cute.  i got tons of winks & emails, but only like 1 in 10 (if that) were worth responding to.  also, it seemed like the day after i signed up all these guys in my real life came out of the woodwork!  so i was juggling real life guys along w/ online guys & it got to be too much so i hid my profile.  i think other sites might be better tho, but match.com u don't have to pay (unless u want to send emails, but guys usually are smart enough to include their real email address when they send you emails so you'll be fine!).

I've never done it (I have a tendency to date co-workers or neighbors--that's how I met my bf), but I have a friend who did and she has a really great bf now and they are planning to get married. I've seen her date some real doozies, so I would say online dating definitely worked for her!

I'd say if you're going to do it, date a large selection of men.  I'm trying to think of how to explain my reasoning on this, but I can't come up with a coherent explanation.  So suffice it to say, that this is what has worked best for me in the online dating world.  I think people have a tendency to jump into relationships really quickly with the online dating thing, which I don't think is such a great idea.  It's easy to make yourself out as a great person in writing...it takes a while to peel those layers away in person.  Hence, the need to date many at once.  This way, it helps keep you from getting too serious/attached to the first one you meet, and it also increases your chances of finding someone you are truly compatible with.


And I've done match.com, and it's not too bad.  Seems to work a little better for my guy friends than it did for me, but I also wasn't looking for a relationship, and it seems like a lot of the guys on there are.  I just used it more to meet people.

I've met a lot of guys just on myspace.  Thats not why I signed up there either so that was an added bonus.  I have gone out with a few guys that I met there, just a few of quality.  I agree with gingembre1, have a few going at once from online.  It does help save some of the heartache when they crap out or prove to be a jerk.

my bf's best friend has had two very successful relationships (more than 2 years) with girls he met on JDate.  The second one he is still currently dating, and i hope they tie the knot!!!

can you go on jdate if you're not jewish? i had heard that you could, but when i went and looked at the signup page, they had a section for "religion" that only listed different jewish groups, no category for "other."  anyone know?

good question.  i guess it might defeat the purpose of JDate though.  maybe there's a FAQ section on the site.
