What made you sign up for them (or it)? Was it because you were (or are) starting to fear you were/are never gonna meet anyone otherwise?
I signed up because dating sites can open doors to meet a lot of interesting people. I never fear not meeting someone. I know it will happen in it's own time.
Was it because it matches with your preference of meeting people anonymously without the pressure that an initial face-to-face interaction may cause or because it was/is 'popular'? Or are you/were you simply trying to combine BOTH aspects/possibilities of meeting someone so as to improve your chances- both via the real world and virtually...?
Lets share.
I haven't used it to improve my chances per say but, obviously it does. I have met a lot of interesting men online. I dated an engineer who loved carpentry and was exceptionally talented in it, a business owner who owned five theathers and was a very kind man, a musician who could bring down the house, a factory worker who loved and restored old muscle cars, a nurse who was facinated by Jung and the list goes on and on. I know people give internet dating a bad rap and yes, I have had my share of guys who wanted to hop in the bed at the drop of a hat but, I have also met men who were definatley worthy of my time and who would travel to take me out. Internet dating has for the most part been a very positive experience. I would happily do it again.
