internet datting, does it really work??????

Hey there I think it does but doesnt at the same time I have found.

I could see that it could work if you actually found someone normal on it. The only thing that would bother me is if you start a relationship then you would have to live with the fact that you met the person on the internet, I think it would be embereesing to telll people and would have to agree with the person to lie about where you met!

i think so...there is this reality show that i usually watch on tv. she and her friend uses the internet to find her a date...and so far it went well. i also know some people meet their husbands thru the internet.so i guess it works but not for all :)

My partner and I met in a chatroom almost 10 years ago and we are still together and happy... so yes, it can work.

I really dont think how you meet someone with determine if it works or not. That all depends on if you are right for each other in the first place. But if the question is can you meet good people for dating online, I would say yes. I met several people online before I was married. I made good friends...men and women. And I dated a few men for decent amounts of time. I actually met my husband through an online forum. We have been together 4 years and married nearly 2.

yes off course it does work.even i have met my gf from internet and then we met and we became friends,then etc.etc.we are from past one year together living happily. well ya but there is one thing.you should have patience.you should know your partner very wel and then go forward.just don't jump.its very rare that you can get a real true partner from these dating sites.i am the lucky one thats all i can say. however we met through social networking site called orkut. anyways i hope even you may get one.god bless you.tc

Once upon a time I would have said it was a dangerous way of meeting someone but I know of three couples that have met this way and I have completely changed my mind. I have never seen better matched couples and they are all well suited and very happy...one of the couples have been together for some years now so I say be careful as I am sure there are so dodgy match ups but done the right way it can be a good way to meet someone...

Well my experience on this it's a numbers game there are lots of dating agencies or sites out there charging for the privilege, which doesn't really have a guaranteed return so my advice to you, do your research online & asking around for advice from friends as you can get good dating services that do meet ups which is free but again this too may not be guaranteed but at least your not paying a excessive amount of money for someone to tell you to simply GET LOST! not only that it's fun and if you hang in there I'm sure you get someone eventually. Don't get me wrong that a paying dating sites rubbish as I didn't say that but I've found that yes to me they are no different in the patent on how they work than to free ones, and trust me if someone doesn't like the look of you it doesn't matter if you are paying for the privilege the answer will STILL! be the same and half the time a good percentage of those people are still paying for it on another site anyway so why should you, but then again the choice really is yours.

It won't work for everybody. I am going to tell you that straight forward. A lot of people are meeting via the internet these days but not all of them are using sites such as the ones you see on t.v. EHarmony being one of them. I met my fiance only, and my ex boyfriend before that. The ex boyfriend I met for myself, however, my fiance I met through a mutual friend. Myspace is a good way to connect to people, although it can be dangerous. Then again alot of different sites are dangerous. If you are thinking about trying to explore your options and see which one works for you. Make sure they are secure site, and this means more then just payment wise. Make sure that it appeals to you and that not too much is involved in the sign up... sure it's great to meet a perfect match but your more likely to find a perfect match on the street then online. Good luck. Be careful but most importantly have fun!

I actually met my husband through an internet dating site. We have been together for 4 years now and are still very much in love and very happy. I did, however, have one very scary situation with a guy I met online. That's another story, but I think that if you get to know the person VERY well before you actually meet, and you like them more and more, it has a good chance of working.

It absolutely can work i have seen it work with friends of mine. I can offhand think of 3 friends of mine who have met their boyfriend/husband online in various places. Two of them met on irc another met hers on myspace. So yes i think it can work.

Well as with everything its a hit or miss. i dont agree that you should have to pay for the privilage of being able to talk to others on a dating site, not when there are free ones around. I joined a site that said join for free, yipee i thought so i did, only trouble was that if i wanted to read any mails from people intersted in me i had to pay a huge amout to join even if it was for a few days. In my personl opinion these pay website exploit people by promising love and then making them pay if they want to meet anyone, and they cant garentee that subscribers will ever find that special someone
