I've always thought about it, but I have no idea which site would be a good fit for me, and I'm afraid even online I wouldn't find anyone. And right now, I really don't have the means to travel/met someone if we connected well enough online. I want more then just online relationships.
Have you ever used an Online Dating Site (Match.com, Eharmony, Etc)?

singlesne.com is one I tried before. I used it to meet other bi women.

I'm never used one and don't need to use one.

I tried eHarmony a couple of years back when they had one of their free weekends, and met many unemployed men who couldn't spell and refused to use punctuation. It was depressing. One guy actually listed "daydreaming" as a hobby.
11/15/2010
I have used them. I regret it. They never worked for me. Oh well!
11/15/2010
never have never will. I would rather give fate a chance.

I picked both would/would not in the future because I am undecided about whether or not I would use one in the future. I've thought about it, but I just keep thinking that with my luck I'd get the one crazy axe murderer on the site.

Ax murderers don't worry me so much. I have a sword. However, men who think that "daydreaming" is a legitimate hobby worthy of listing as an interest, well, that terrifies me.

My husband and I reconnected on POF. Turns out we both were single at the same time and gave it a second chance. We originally dated in 2000.

OKCupid is the best one, in my opinion. My boyfriend and I met on there and we're still together and happy ^^
11/27/2010
I have never used one before.
11/27/2010
We met online, but not through a dating site.

I was on yahoo personals years ago and noticed the same profiles on match.com. I did not like all the questions on eharmony and removed my profile on chemistry after one day.
I joined Adult Friend Finder last month and might have a hook up soon, still trying to decide if I want to. I am also on fitness-singles.com
Few years ago I was on amateur match and talked on the phone with one guy who still texts me every so often but I ignore them.

No, and I don't think I ever would. I guess I'm just old school. I just feel like it's much easier to tell if somebody is a creeper in person than if you communicate with them online.
11/28/2010
I would not really consider it.
11/29/2010
I've used them to meet three of the men I most recently dated (well, two of the men. I'm still working on getting the third to call us something.)
12/07/2010
I've never been on these sites, don't plan on it either. I will admit that I am curious about the people on the sites, though
12/07/2010
I have never used one before. I never really thought about it, actually.
12/15/2010
I personally would not use an online dating site. -shrugs- They just seem sketchy to me.
12/29/2010
Has not and will not. Dont trust them.
12/30/2010
Never with ANY success

My father has dated a few through Eharmony and wow the type of peeps that he chose outta there...jeez. He married the last one and he looks like shit - that woman will be the death of him and it would sever him right. The one before her was certifiable. He used a site because he realized he was a horrible father and needed someone to take care of his old butt. He knows his kids won't take care of him so he's settled for whatever insane ones that would tolerate him from that site *shakes head*
No offense to those who use it just watch out for weirdos. I still can't figure out what would drawl anyone to a self absorbed abusive thing like my father.

I voted for two because I'm in between them. I think using them are a little strange, but I'm young and going into med school. I hear a lot of med students use dating sites because they don't have time to go out, but it may be different since I'm a girl. I can't imagine using one, but I have nothing against it and can't predict the future. Maybe when I'm fifty, it'll be ther norm and I'll dive right in.
As Coke Talk said, "Sure. People can fall in love with someone they meet online. Haven’t you seen all those shitty commercials? It happens all the time.
Quite frankly, when you consider the historical alternatives, the digital love pimps over at eHarmony have put together a rather elegant and streamlined version of a traditional courtship ritual. It only feels unnatural because you’re not used to it.
If you take a moment to stop and look around, you’ll find that our world is full of commonplace extravagances that humans living in any other era would consider bizarre.
You want to talk unnatural? How about ordering processed food off of glossy picture menus at chain restaurant? That shit is way more unnatural than something like eHarmony, but fuck it. You’ll order up some jalapeno poppers at TGI Fridays without giving it a second thought.
All I’m saying is that a picture menu is a picture menu. We live in a culture that likes to look at a product shot and point. It doesn’t matter if it’s a husband or a basket of curly fries. Order up."
I think that sums it up quite nicely. less

We're all just experimenting living in this modern way we do

I was on OKCupid for a few months, mostly because a friend asked me to join with her. Nothing ever came of it and I deleted it when I started dating my current boyfriend.
01/02/2011
I screwed up the courage and I joined a site. Apparently there really are British men looking for American women. We'll see how it goes.
01/23/2011
I met my current boyfriend on OKcupid.
01/24/2011
Being in a committed relationship it isn't necessary - they didn't exist when I was 'looking'. I think they are a great idea - I just don't need one.
01/24/2011
I've used them...I met one serious boyfriend on a dating site and met my current boyfriend on the personals section of craigslist, lol.
01/26/2011
I tried to use eHarmony. They told me that my profile would lead me to no matches in their system. I'm too boring to use eHarmony. So sad.
