Default Online dating services

A good friend of mine is currently trying an online dating service but not having much luck. She hasn't liked any of the people interested in her, and the ones she liked the look of have not replied to her. Has anyone had any success finding a relationship this way?

Being married I have not ever used it but I do have a friend that did meet someone on these online dating services and now they are engaged to be married. The only problem is that he lives in another country and she is going to move there to be with him. Which I guess isn't a problem just going to miss her.

I have used online dating services and I am still using them to meet others and I have met some great people, and we did not mesh well together personality-wise. It takes at least a good 6 months or more to meet someone decent. I am not sure how long your friend has been on there. The only thing that I advice is have decent pictures, and the profile is written well in explaining what she is looking for. I hope that helps.

There are tons of people meeting others online now, and I personally think that it is a great way to connect people from all ends of the world, as long as you are safe about it.

Default Online dating service

Well I am married so I have never used any online dating service. But I know a few people that have, and they have had very good luck with them.

I've never used an online dating service, but I have a friend who has met several people that way. Unfortunately, none of them have turned out to be the love of her life, but she has made some really good friends.

As long as you are careful in maintaining your privacy as you meet new, unknown people, and as long as you keep your head and don't fall in love and marry hastily, I think meeting someone online is as good a way to do it as any other.

I know a couple of people who've had success with online dating, meaning they formed lasting relationships. I'm sure it took some time to find the right people, though.

Match.com is the number one dating site online these days. I think you should do a review on some sites to see which one best suites you before you join.

My cousinin is in United States of America right now together with her partner. She met him through online chatting. She's very lucky because her partner is kind and belongs to a wealthy family.

Internet dating services is tough and I have heard many success stories and just as many bad ones as well. With anything sometimes it just takes time.

I met my husband online and we have been happily married for several years. It can work, but you need to be extremely cautious as people may not be what they seem.

I think online dating is no worse than meeting people anywhere else. You meet, converse, learn about one another, see if there's any chemistry and if there is then move onto the next level.
