Thinking of giving Internet dating a real go to see if its any good/fun.

Who on here has given it a go? Has it been successful ?

I will await the STW's wisdom… 😀

Plenty fun to be had, folk you meet are as random as normal.

Me. My current better half I met via t'interweb, although it's early days yet… Look at it this way, what do you have to lose?

Go for it, what the worst thing that could happen?

Worked alright for me 🙂 3 1/2 years together met on one of those singles kinda thing sites. Just don't take it too seriously!

2 of my mates have found very good partners off sporting based dating sites, cant remember the sites but 1 of em got married last year

more fun than you can shake a stick at IF you don't take it seriously

My mate recently had their first kid, married last autumn sometime.. they met online.

me – and we have a daughter aged 3 now!

I know a few people who have married people they met online.

Got a colleague who met her husband via internet dating, after 2 failed marriages (husbands infidelity) she describes it as "test driving". By her own admission she also got a lot of nice looking men who were good for a night, but not for marriage (her words, paraphrased).

I met Mrs StirlingCrispin on t'web.
We now have two boys and I have lots more bikes to maintain.

DON'T DO IT! 😉

Give PlentyOfFish a go… it's free, so nothing to lose really! 🙂

Just don't do "Plentyoffish" at work ……………
Peetee you are lethal!

I find it completely demoralising, but then I'm an ugly unfunny **** with high expectations. I'm also not tall, dark and handsome, over the age of 35, career ambitious, have travelled lots (or have the desire to), and have no interest in kids.

A friend of mine met his (now) wife online and they've just had their 1st kid, so I'm not going to knock it.

P.S. I did actually date someone for well over a year that I met online and she was great, but case of right girl/wrong time.

Just having a look at plenty of fish….

but then I'm an ugly unfunny **** with high expectations

don't sell yourself short Kit, you're quite cute 🙂

"Met my partner on Gumtree thingy."

Better option than Freecycle anyways.

Mounty_73 why wont you return my emails? Your schlong wasnt as described and you didnt tell me that you had more wear and tear than the ad suggested.

I met my wife on datingdirect 😛 been married 2 years 😛 best thing i ever did 😛

I had another long term relationship off the web before her, most people seem genuine, watchoo got to lose?

If you do internet dating do you need some anti-virus protection?

Computers weren't even invented last time I went dating.

been there done that,

first was a blind date setup by a friend via a dateing site – second turned into a fruitcake after the first few months

second attempt was a 'well it almost worked the first time' – fruitcake from the start and I'd quite like my bill bailey boxset back if your reading this.

Met Mrs.T this way – never been happier!

Especially when you get to an age where 'pulling in the local night club' makes you look like a sugar daddy (without the wealth) then interweb is a good choice
