Soulgirl75 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I was just wondering if anyone had tried internet dating and if so, what are the range of experiences had? Anyone got any 'good news' stories or is it to be generally avoided?? Also, are there any 'etiquette' rules about how to do it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet dating is much like the title to the film, "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". That's what I think, anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 There's a new book coming out on Kindle in a few weeks - it's a Self Help Guide to Online Dating. I can't think who's written it... <ahem> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I personally would leave it well alone, trouble is, that's why I'm still single in my mid 30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rudeboy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I generally found the experience to be a positive one and most of the girls I met were perectly normal, although I did meet a couple of strange girls along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In summary, go into Internet dating very carefully and with your eyes open. While a few people will say 'oh I met the X of my dreams', the general dating standard online is rather low and the sad truth is that most people are just out for themselves; the level of time wasters, users and abusers is abnormally high. That said, with a level head and your normal powers of judgement, you will do OK. Just be prepared to meet lots of time wasters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
