devinefaith Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thinking about trying online dating again a little skeptical, whenever I would put up a profile in the past I end up deleting it not long after. Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It's important to be into it. Without a cohesive plan it can burn you out. But it is a way to meet people. If you are not ready for dating, it will seem like just going through the motions.whenever I would put up a profile in the past I end up deleting it not long after....This guy? Link to comment

Wiseman2 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Unfortunately that's par for the course, filtering and sifting through a lot of flakes. What do you mean by too weird? But either people disappear or get a little to weird. Link to comment

Like try to talk about sexual things so soon or say their inlove before ecen meeting me. Lol Link to comment
devinefaith Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Even meeting. Link to comment
SkellyWoozle Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 As annoying as these people are, at least most of the time you can tell within four or five questions whether they're after a bit on the side or something more serious. Good luck X Link to comment
SooSad33 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ohhh.. there's a lot more to it than that! Bascially meeting them.. more than once will tell you IF they're for you. I experienced it for over 3 yrs and Im done. The last one broke me.. in so many ways. He lied about a few things on his profile then being around him threw me for a loop-emotionally ( his underlying mental condition). After less than 2 months. Anyways... take your time and dont jump or expect a huge success with it. Lower expectations... Dont know your age but I am over 40 and in my age range there are many who are just looking for one thing. They're not wanting to or ready to get into anything heavy. The way I see it is... ' this is my life.. can you handle it?'. They are all set in their own ways at this time of their life. Can be very hard to find one who is compatible. Link to comment
limichelle Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I'm 34 and before I met my boyfriend on a different online dating site, I absolutely hated the mainstream sites like Match and Eharmony and OkCupid. On Match I got the 45 year olds asking for sex if we meet on the first date. I was shocked! I thought they would be more serious. On Eharmony I got the flakes. It was one day before meeting the guy and he texted me he met somebody else that morning. At least he told me and didn't stand me up. It's just there were more disappointments like that on that site. On OkCupid beware of the men who say they are in the military and want to marry you as soon as they get back lol. I got lots of those scammers. The people who were legit didn't take the site very seriously it seemed they were on just to chat and that was it. What worked for me was finding a online dating site for those with disabilities because I'm mentally ill. I found a guy who doesn't have a mental illness but some other minor things. I couldn't have asked for a better site and a better guy! Online dating works but it's better if you go off the mainstream and look up a dating site that fits your interests. Lisa Link to comment

Matt3939 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I've had success with OLD. Going to go back on it soon. Not looking fwd to it meeting new people isnt my thing. Hopefully it's not worse. Just go on find someone who interests you. There's not much to go by unfortunately, but once you start talking to them you can weed out people. Good luck Link to comment
