Online dating or Internet dating is a dating system which allows individuals, couples and groups to make contact and communicate with each other over the Internet, usually with the objective of developing a personal romantic or sexual relationship. Online dating services usually provide unmoderated matchmaking over the Internet, through the use of personal computers or cell phones.



Online dating services generally require a prospective member to provide personal information, before they can search the service provider's database for other individuals using criteria they set, such as age range, gender and location. Most sites allow members to upload photos of themselves and browse the photos of others.

I have some questions:

  • Would you ever use such a service? Why or Why not?
  • If you have used an online dating service, did it work out for you?



 
I did use an online dating service just recently which was Match.com. I was only curious about it and thought I could chat up with some lovely girls there but... nope. No interaction whatsoever which I then deleted my account there.



But anyway, I personally think online dating in general is pointless but I know one person who met her husband on an online dating site.
 
I would never, ever, never provide personal information. There are way too many sickos out there and people who pretend to be someone they are not.
 
I tried EHarmony once a few years ago. Got a response saying that they couldn't do anything for me at all. Lmao!

Are you serious? Did they tell you why?

Lol, very serious! I think they said something about being unable to find a compatible person.

Did they check the homeless database too? Just kidding, Sci, and I think those people are out of their mind.

Yeah, I think they are too! I think for the most part, online dating sites are crap as it is cause they try to get money out of you while trying to get yourself a date in the process.
 
I think I'll stick to the old fashioned way of finding a date. You go out, you meet people in person and then decide if you want to take it further.
