Match.com - Ever tried it?

[Ahhlee]

Lately I've been getting the urge to settle down and perhaps add a new member or two to the world population. Currently, there is no one in my area who I feel is quite right for me and I'm just not that excited about meeting someone in the bar scene. I did that once years ago and found out the old saying "Meet him in a bar, lose him in a bar" is true.

 

Some of my family members are suggesting I try Match.com or eharmony.com. I'm a little skeptical. A couple of my single friends have tried it, and neither of them had great experiences. But 2 people out of tens of thousands isn't exactly a good enough variable for me to discount the whole idea. These kinds of sites seem to be flourishing, so they are obviously working for some people out there.

 

Have any of you ever tried one of these kinds of sites to seriously meet people? If so, what have your experiences been like?

[Hamza123]

You clearly haven't met R.O. or NazzNegg?

I don't need help finding pussy.

Oh believe me, I can find as much cock on a regular basis as a girl could want. That's not the problem. The problem is finding one guy who I can tolerate well enough on a day to day basis to finally say "Hmmm, I think I could enter into a mortgage with this fine fellow".

 

Superior quality is not the same as quantity.

Didn't work for me. The wife found out and raised total hell.

I think it's best to just keep your eyes open.. anywhere and everywhere. I'd be pretty skeptical of a match site. Just like a bar.. desperate people looking for sex, or a victim. I'd never go anywhere with the sole purpose of finding a perfect mate. You'll find one when you're not looking for one.. Keep the eyes peeled.. could be anywhere. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. Right, sweetie?

 

The thing is.. put yourself out there... be willing to take a risk.. be yourself... be honest. You sound like you're at the point where you're looking at whats on the inside.. Good luck. I hope you find Mr. Right and you're his Mrs. Right.

 

Or you could just grab some guys ass in the grocery store and ask for a date.

[Lethalfind]

I had a friend who used it. He of course found plenty of people to date but nothing long term came of any of the relationships. I didn't want to be the one too tell him it was probably because he was difficult to get along with.

You're gonna have trouble finding a man who can tollerate a WHORE! Good luck with that!

Sadly, the pubic trim days are in the past.

You can't make a ho a housewife.

 

I've heard of plenty of men who tried. The relationship always ended up in disaster. I myself lived with an escort for a month. I've never seen anyone with so much fuckin' issues. Talk about a headache....

[Ahhlee]

Hey now. I said I can FIND it, I didn't say anything about using them all.

 

But it's nice to see the WHORE police are here and paying attention.

 

Wow.

[Ahhlee]

Unfortunately, I live in North Dakota. Not only that, but I live in the northwest corner which is next to absolutely nothing. No one ever comes up this way on their travels. No one should.

[Ahhlee]

I am currently right outside of Fargo, ND how far from Devils lake are you.

 

I'm about 3 1/2 hours on the west side.

 

Do you live in Fargo or are you just there for business? Shit, I rarely run into anyone from ND on the net.

[ToriAllen]

Well as luck would have it I am currently being paid to roam around the country, if you happen to fall in-line with my travels I would be happy to stop by and give you a spin

[Ahhlee]

If you are looking at trying a dating site, I would suggest you don't take it too seriously. Might pan out, might not. There is no harm in trying it as long as you are careful.

 

As a rule, I'm a pretty low key personality. That's probably why I can't seem to seriously wrap my mind around trying these sites. It seems a little silly to me and I'm not exactly gung ho about trusting the person on the other end. God knows what's out there.

Well there's your problem with dating. You live in bum fuck Dakota! Aint' nobody there but steers and queers.

Yeah you should give the internet dating a chance.

Dont' feel to bad though. I live in bum fuck Alaska.

Then you can relate!

 

That's a lot of the problem - the population here is so limited that I've either already been set up with, am related to, or am aware of the shady lifestyle and therefore not interested of practically every man within 100 mile radius.

 

Dating in a rural area is MUCH different than dating in an urban setting.

Move. Seriously, get out now, while you are still young and not infected with the rural mind set.

I own a business here so it's not that easy. I grew up in the area and I like the idea of being close to my family (I have the sweetest little one year old nephew and it would be hard to leave him behind).

 

My business is seasonal and I've just entered my off season. I'm in the middle of painting and other big projects right now, but I have a group of single friends who I go out with a lot. I'm planning on a few fun trips throughout the fall and winter, so perhaps that will open up some new doors for me.

 

I've lived in Minneapolis and other bigger towns, and although the dating scene is much more promising, there is something to be said about the peace, quiet and safety of a small town. It's a great place to raise a family....if you can find someone special to start one with.

Oh, God. That mentality has already infected you.

I'm from the city and am now stuck in the seventh circle of hell. There is no culture here. Only 60% of the people here finish high school and only about 15% go on to college. There is no entertainment around here. No theatre, no bowling ally, no park, no mall

Never ever ever EVER date in a rural setting. ALL people involved in relationships always end up as the favorite topic of the local gossip.

Nazznegg stop in Columbus and pick up ToriAllen and then bring her to Chicago. Once you get here give me a call and I'll meet you for dinner and a few drinks.

Even if you don't pick her up let me know when you'll be in town. First drink is on me.

I have a friend who met his wife online at one of those dating sites. They were made for each other. Same interests and all. They fell in love online without ever meeting in person. She flew into Chicago and it took them about an hour before they booked a flight to Las Vegas where they were married. That was 8 years ago and they are still together and still in love. They might be one in a million, but, if it worked for them it can work for you.

See, these are the stories I hear that make me think I should give it a try. Plus, I LOVE Vegas. Anything that allows me to end up in Vegas is always a good thing.
