I never tried it, my husband would not approve.  I did work with a girl who met her live-in boyfriend (who has now been with her 5 years) on a on-line dating site.

I think it's worth a try but I don't hold high expectations from it.

I have a friend who met her now husband on eHarmony & have a baby together & are a perfect match.   I think online dating is no better or worse than meeting people in a club, you just have to do a little research if you use the free dating sites because there is no regulations or checks.  The paid ones do your research & back ground checks for you.  I think they are pretty legit.

I met my husband online and we are married 3 years now. We are happy and perfect for each other. We are just lucky to found each other that really wanted to settle down.

You won't meet your "destined one" if you don't try... Just be careful about it... Online can be a good place to meet good/evil people

Don't like it, not for me. But have been married for over 27 years, so it doesn't affect me one way or another.
Just have heard some goofy stories over the years!

I've met some jerks online and I've met some pretty cool people online, one of which has become a lifelong friend.  I've been anti-online dating (other than the fb connects) for the last 5 years but when I move I'm going to give it another try. It has its risks, as with anything else, but it's a great resource.

I met my boyfriend online, we are celebrating our anniversary this month on the 16th and have a beautiful daughter together! You just have to be careful on the sites though! :)

I am using it now, there has been some crazy people I find but I don't go out much otherwise so its not a bad way to meet ladies.

I had horrible experience with online dating with WAY WAY to many cons (ei: others wanting for you to join other sites, stalkers, money grubs, lies about there profiles, and ect...). The chances of actually meeting someone in real life in any online situation is very very slim basically 1 out of a trillion just like the lotto and in real life is 1 out of 5. So basically if you do online dating have ground rules first and for most to advoid cons in general and the first meeting should be in a public place thats well known also keep some information about yourself to yourself (to advoid stalkers and cons). O and don't use a MMO or a MMORPG to date ether and date more so in real life rather then online. :cat:

I think online dating is OK, but it is not for everyone though, but you have to be careful who you talk too because people nowadays always don't say who they are or they lie for whatever reason. Some of them may end up being crazy as well, you have some good in online dating then you have the bad of it...you just have to protect yourself

I don't think their is a problem with online dating. Especially if someone isn't being a "catfish" to the other person they are talking too.

You get this off line as well.   Even if you can see the person, they aren't always what they appear to be, they lie, they manipulate.....

I am a one year widow - and people keep telling me I should sign up for an online dating site but I say I'm not sure if I am even ready to date and if I were ready would rather just meet someone - I guess online dating is the thing but I don't know.  By the way those members who said no because their husbands wouldn't approve brought a smile to my face.  Very cute comment.  ;D

The concept sounds totally cool! It would take away some of the fear factor. I am a fairly good looking guy, in good shape, somewhat witty but I was terrified to talk to the opposite sex.  I have since then gotten married and have no fears but I feel that online dating could have made dating so much easier.  I have a newly divorced, wealthy friend who has tried it and he is able to set the parameters so that he is meeting someone of his own socio-economic status. He has been on a bunch of different coffee dates and has made some good friends out of his adventures. His ex-wife is bummed that she kicked him out...now that she sees how popular he is.  He dated one girl that, Unbeknownst to him, was a childhood friend of his ex-wife's!
