Since being single, , I been on a couple of dates,
the 1st girl put she was 5ft 8 and when i met in person she was TINY!
the 2nd, just went to the park, she was shy, did not talk at all much and it was a disaster!
the best way to meet singles i think is in person,
I kina found out that internet dating can be a problem, and the people you meet are sometimes not who you think,
I met my ex on myspace, and she turned out to be a nutter who neally killed my mother!

but how do you know someone you meet in real life isnt a nutter... you say you met your ex on myspace, so that means you dated her for a while before she realised she was a nutter...
sometimes thats the way the cookie crumbles

But there are many many cases where it does work out for people that might not have met if it wasnt for the internet

How many threads do we have about this subject now?????????????

I agree with the girls but also with your point that people on the net very often pretend to be something they aren't. You can't really do that if you meet someone 'in real life' so I don't think the net is the best place for meeting.

Strangly I am agreaing with you SC - remind me not to do that again.
It depends how you look at the internet dating thing, I wont work if you are thinking that by e-mail you can find the love of your life and get married and things, you can only do that by meeting in reality. This virtual world can give you a way of saying hello and perhaps meeting more single's than in reality, and then find out if you can get on with, or find out that they are psycho's in reality.

You can pretend to be anyone you want to be on here and in reality, its just trickier to do in reality (in reality, its easier to get away with it at 1 in the morning when yuo are in a dark club - you can really be anyone there!! (Apparantly)). So who would you like me to be today....

Oh, and I think it is a good idea to eventually meet people from the internet, if you get on OK with writing to each other. Ive had a few really good days and nights out ny doing that

I guess I'll agree with most of the replies on here already. Like everyone I guess, I would prefer to meet someone out in the real world, rather than online, but as has already been said, it's sometimes difficult to meet people out there!

I have met a few people off the internet now, and so far its not worked out, but I've not given up hope yet!

A couple were just definately wrong, and maybe I knew that before I went to meet them, and a couple I did go out with for a while, but it didn't work out. But that can happen equally with meeting someone out in the real world.

i got new problem with it, but i always remember one story i heard once. It was about a British chap who was having this long distance thing with an American Chick, they had never talked on the phone, but had always communicated via email, the guy fell head over heals from what I remember, flew out there after something like 5 years communicating, and when he landed it turned out the woman was a guy who had been leading him....funniest thing I had read in years...sure it was in the sun...so it must be true..

bloody hell, thats bad.. but its the guys stupid fault for not chatting on the phone

i know, it is however a little hard to believe that they were chatting for 5 years but never on the phone...as i said it was from the sun so it must be true
