Have you ever used a dating website? Do you think it takes a certain 'type' of person to use a dating website?

Only the Fray.

If this is a serious question....I have concerns about the questioner.

But if serious..I have to say emphatically:no.

Many are lonely in life, I know,however..best to join a group for like minded adults if one is so lonely as to consider an online dating service.

Never do that.

That's just silly.

if someone is so lonely in life that they consider online dating...better to not do it..call your mom, brother, sister.

and if you can't do that for support...join a group and get back up one on one therapy in how to deal with your social issues.

When all else fails...

it's very very very very dangerous but 99% of the time,but go out and hit the streets... you will meet some very great human beings in between the spaces in life.

They're out there..everywhere.

The people have been the most generous loving and kind to me in my hard times in life have been Mexican Ex cons from Soledad prison, Palestinians and Isrealis on Visas living in L.A. and musician herion addicts lost amid their addictions looking for a place to rest.

fuck no.

That said, I did meet my husband online in 1996. Just not at at dating site. And as for "types" -- I don't know, I think there are certain folks who play better online than in reality. And I mean that in every sense of the term.

Is there something wrong with The Fray today? I can't get the quote thing to work. Anyway, LauriAnnM; it was a serious question. What are your concerns about me, the questioner? And thanks for the response by the way. But really, you said "never do that" and "that's just silly", without offering a reason why you feel that way. I'm interested in why you feel that way. I believe there is a certain stigma attached to people who resort to dating services, be it online or otherwise. Seems that if you live a reasonable life, you're going to come into contact with a variety of people sooner or later. And a natural approach, if I can call it that, seems to offer the best chance for a natural progression of a relationship, imho.

but, then I'd be dating myself and you don't need a service for that.

okay look, syntax..I never felt the need for it, thus far. Maybe it works for you or some. I just would use it with some reservations and caution. Life is so random and all. Be careful. that's all I am saying.

You are suggesting dating your mom, brother or sister? Not to judge others, but for me...... no thanks!
