Online dating

Post Reply New Topic

Online dating has become very popular. I wonder if any on WP has ever tried it? I would like to hear about your experience.

I dated several people who I met on dating websites but most didn't work out. I am now engaged to someone who I met on a dating website. So it can be very successful.

One of my friends met the love of her life on a forum. It took them a year before they had the opportunity to meet. I guess it was worth the wait because they lived happily ever after!

I know someone who met their wife on a dating site.

The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

It can be good if you find people in your area but where I live is not very common among young people, so you'd find mostly old creeps looking for young girls or those who want to have sex online which I don't like.

It's pretty terrible. I've been on various sites for about a year now and haven't had one date.

The most success I've had so far has been with Eharmony, have had several dates over the past few years. The only down side is that you will be getting match after match that you're wondering "Why did they send me this?" with the upside being - some of them will contact you and it won't always be quite as off-point as you originally thought.

I've also tried OKCupid, looked much more promising but one definite problem - no one responds, I can understand perhaps two or three rejected conversations per each accepted but this so far for me is fourteen and zero, its phenomenal. An NT acquaintence of mine mentioned last time the internet dating topic came up that the women who are available online are still single not because they haven't found the one but because their expectations are so far out of the ballpark, so its really all off limits anyway. Seems like that may not be far from the truth.

In all I think you'll have better luck with a pay site like Eharmony or Match.com, not that I've tried Match.com but what I think they have in common is that its a pay site, people who are willing to pay are of a different mindset, ie. they're willing to put work in and really figure themselves out rather than just post a pic, profile, and see who's willing to flatter them today until either a big buffed blonde haired blue eyed man named Lance comes along or, possibly the other way around, until that perfect dime Brazilian swim model sees a picture of his lazy beer-gut having arse and says "Wow - just my type!".

I use OK Cupid and have gotten a bunch of dates, but no one I really "clicked" with.

I still have my profile up, but I don't really "work" it anymore...

IRL, or at least a non-dating focused online forum is always preferrable IMO.

you'll find someone when you st- i almost fell for it.

I meet most people from the Internet but through just regular webcommunities, not dating sites.

What's funny is, I was about to put dating in the back of my mind. Just too many bad dates. Then I went to an adult support group for other people with AS. I didn't even know these existed! I met someone there and have been on a few dates. Even if doesn't work out, I at least know I can be compatible with an Aspie. It opens new possibilities.
