ConnectingSingles.com is a good one (I have a friend who has used it and found a great guy on there). It's completely free also.

Ron,

Have you tried the meetup type groups where you connect with people with common interests?

A couple in my Bible Study group met on-line and married. I think they used Yahoo Personals. I have two other friends on Yahoo Personals. And one of those just got married. I guess they had success with them.
Two of our kids tried professional dating services in their cities. Our daughter who is one of the VPs of the Cinci Zoo met a Pharmacist and they got married four years ago. My other son just joined a group near Dallas and has been on what he says is three great dates. They are a bit expensive but I think it eliminates the questionable dater.
Sounds like it may be worth a try....just be smart while you are doing that.

I agree...plus it is so easy to lie on those sites anyway. I mean, come on, I would. It's so fun to f' with people!

Anyone who needs to a dating site to find someone is pretty pathetic.

dating websites are stupid and "fantasy" if you know what i mean. I love thinking about the 1st time I met my boyfriend, and how I got butterflies when I saw him. It intrigued me to find out about him.

Why would you waste your time finding out all about a person that you dont even know you are attracted to. Everyone makes themselves sound super online. Of course they arent going to say "i have a lysp, i have no fashion sense, im very stubborn..." blah blah blah. you only get to really know someone from spending REAL time with them.

seriously dating sites are for lazy people who have no self esteem... and thats all your going to find on there. if these people on these websites were really someone worth dating, then they wouldnt be on these sites!! lol they would already be taken!

Wow. Could you possibly be more offensive?

I know many couples (married) who met on dating sites. None of them are losers. They are wonderful, attractive people who just weren't in situations that allowed them to meet new people. If you're out of college, live in a small town, don't go to bars and don't want to date people you work with, you don't have a lot of other options.

The people I know didn't carry out a relationship online. They found someone with similar interests, then arranged to meet so they could see if they were attracted to each other.

It may not be something that appeals to you, but there's no need to insult people who have used them. The only losers I see here are those who feel the need to be so nasty towards people they know absolutely nothing about.

Really? How else would I be able to do it? I actually WORK nights when most people are out "prowling"...and I don't want to meet DRUNKS, so what's the point in finding them in bars anyhow? And I don't date people I work with...so that leaves?

I make sure they're local to me. No point in traveling two hours to meet someone, especially if you're having to work at 8 p.m.
