like the idea of on line dating....you can take your time to get to know a person..and you don't have to worry about facing someone and getting rejected...i think it might be a bit easier for people who suffer from communication problems like me.
also finding someone that suits you might be harder in the real world of clubs and pubs..that i never do!
so for me anyway i would give it a try....lots of people meet on line and loads these days end up married and happy..so why not!
If you find it hard in life to meet your match..then nothing wrong with trying on line..you never know your luck!

I think online dating can be ok - it all depends on how badly you want to meet someone and what state of mind you're in and also how old you are ie how experienced at the game.
I've met a few people off sites who had relationships with so it can be done, but as I've got older I've noticed it's harder to find suitable people as the people around my age aren't often to my liking - they're often divorced and have children and I have no wish to play happy families at all.
As you get older your needs change and you also won't tolerate stuff you put up with when younger as you know yourself better.
If you're on your own and feeling lonely though there's nothing to be lost by putting ads on several sites and seeing who turns up - you can have chats with people at the very least, which is better than nothing.
I think you should start off by saying you are looking for friends, not the love of your life though.

It's still the best way for me but you are right about the high percentage of divorced single moms (or dads) on there and the picky profiles. I run advanced searches and exclude things I don't want (namely kids and smokers) and I plainly state that in my profile. But there are plenty my age with adult kids I don't mind dating. Just have to avoid the ones also raising grandkids (or babysitting them fulltime). Just by reading the essay you can get a good idea if it may work - I go for the ones without too many conditions.

You sound a lot more easygoing than me.
You've got it right when you call their profile details an 'essay' too - I've looked at other women's dating profiles and some are epics! They regularly say 'Update' on them too, like Facebook! lol You get their whole life story if you aren't careful!
