My boyfriend (27M) and I (28F) just broke up after about 9 months of dating. I'm not really planning to jump into anything anytime soon, but I am looking ahead to the moment when I am ready to get back out there. I have never had any luck meeting guys in real life so I know online dating will by my avenue.
I initially was on okcupid and plentyoffish, but I was younger and not at all ready to be dating (I'm kind of a late bloomer in all aspects of my life ). A few years later I was on match.com for a good two years and went on a small handful of unsuccessful dates. Never even got a second date with any of them. I switched to eharmony thinking I might have better or different luck and it was even worse. As a last resort, I tried tinder just for the heck of it and that was where I ended up meeting my boyfriend. He was the first person that I matched with that I actually went on a date with.
Now that I'm thinking about having to get back out there, I'm wondering where I should start. I downloaded tinder again today just to test the waters and I'm remembering how much the whole process sucks, and I'm not sure if I can find success on that app again.
What are your favorite online dating sites? Where did you find the most success? I'm a totally normal girl. I'm a teacher. I'm nice. I tend to be a little shy. I'm fairly inexperienced as compared to other women my age. I'm not trashy, I'm not looking for hookups or one night stands. I'm looking for a respectable guy that will accept me.
Gosh, it sounds like you probably have as much and more knowledge about dating sites as anyone with all the ones you have been on.
Glad you are taking a break. Sorry I cannot help you. I have heard too many horror stories about dating sites and don't know much about them. Guess I am too old for them. When and if I am ready to start dating, I'd prefer to do it the old fashioned way--meeting someone face-to-face instead of on a computer.
I don't envy you at all. Horror stories about all of them, actually. You just have to be you. I did meet my wife on POF. So there is hope for you.
It's hard when you don't really get out and meet people. OLD is a pretty convenient way to start conversations with people. I wouldn't want to do it again though.
I tried online dating several years ago but nothing came out of it even though I met few guys on it.It just didn't progress any further .I know people who met their SO online but I never had any luck with it
I found that some guys only want one thing and don't want to get serious.Also there are so many men who lie about their age, they say they are 22, 25, 28, 30 but they are really in their 40s, 50s and 60s.......and even guys who are already in a relationships or are married men.
If you want to use these online dating sites I suggest you be very careful when meeting these men because alot of times they are not who they say they really are, they will lie to you and tell you things you want to hear
