I changed my mind on this, you don't meet them online; at least not on a dating site. If you do go on a site, keep in mind that they're talking to who knows how many other guys. If you take them out for a first date, don't spend money on them. Really why spend money on someone whom you mind never see, or talk to again? If you do have to spend money, make sure it's a cheap first date. I'm out $30 from meeting someone online. I'm more worried about loosing $30 than I am talking to her ever again.


dates usually cost $50 if i go the traidtional route. one I had to spend 80 on due to gas to go meet her.

I prefer going on walks.

And remember if you meet someone in the real world, they could also be online dating and talking to who knows how many other people, as well as who knows how many friends of friends and cute people in the supermarket. Meeting organically doesn't necessarily change anything.

It does to an extent. Think about it, if you meet someone in person and you get to see first hand how they are in person; wouldn't you more likely get with them than the person you're talking to online?

There are still things to find out in both scenarios. Like, with online dating, I have to meet them to find out if there's chemistry, or if they smell bad. With real life dating, I have to talk to them for a bit to find out their stance on marriage/kids/religion/etc. The time spent before deciding if they are worth dating would be similar.

I still stand by my argument. I've rarely have ever heard of any guys having success with online dating, at least on dating sites. I've had the best luck on myspace, sadly that's not around anymore.

Well, I've dated guys who I met online, which means they dated me, and I couldn't say for sure that they would call it success but IMO we had a nice time :)
