I'm considering doing it.
But I'm scared. But I think it's my only option: Lara and Fletch aren't going anywhere; all of my friends are coupled up; no-one has any single friends; I don't go out much; I don't meet new people; and rather than bitch about being single, why not do something proactive? The three girls I go to university with all have internet dating success stories. P from What Possessed Me met her Fauxhawk on the net and had Blogland's best love affair before getting married earlier this year.
Of course, there are plenty of cons: I can't imagine telling people I met someone on the internet. Love isn't supposed to happen like that. You never know what you're getting: at least if you meet someone through mutual friends, they can give you the low-down first. Mostly, a lot of the time, it just doesn't sit right.
So, go ahead. Talk me into it. Talk me out of it.
Tell me what you think.

Yes try it. I am open to going down that rod someday myself. I have met past boyfriends via Internet, granted it was a but differen because there were still
connections -ie the boy I met through an online community for incoming freshmen to my college, the boy I met on friendster because he was browsing for ladies at ourcollege and found me with similar music interests, the boy I met on myspace and agreed to see because he was friends with some guys I faintly knew in high school. Anyway you're a blogger, you've already made friends through the Internet, how much weirder can
it be to meet a boy?
Ps. Please excuse typos because it's hard to type on the ithing when tipsy.
LOL at Julia's tipsy typing. See! Internet dating is a brilliant idea! I know a few people doing it. My darling cousin actually offered up a seriously good explanation of why she was trying internet dating. Which was: every guy she was meeting she would have to be like "sooo... you married? got a girlfriend? what's happening? why are you flirting with me if you're married? why do you just want some casual shit? wtf? etc"
while with internet dating boys were like "hello i am single and i want A GIRLFRIEND".
waaaay easier to understand.
Why not? I've racked up some pretty good dates in the past, when I had that MySpace bullshit. I agree with Julia. You make friends this way. Why not guy friends that you actually get to hang out with?
{Just profile them first}
i tried it for a bit. it was not the right time as i was not over the Bear, but you DO get to meet a ton of guys, which could be good distraction. i say, go for it! you never know till you try. and, think of all the good/bad/weird dating stories you could tell after! ;)
