I’ve heard stories of successful couples who started out online. If so, what free sites are available and what are good tips to start with?

yea i met my boyfriend online hes the one weve been together for exactly 3 years
I meet my husband on line. We have know each other for 5 years been married for 4. We have 2 beautiful little girls now! I can work. I got very lucky!! There are some weirdo’s on there though!
Yeah, it’s possible, but it’s really rare.
It definitely works! There are thousands of success stories. My brother-in-law met his wife online and they’ve been perfect for each other.
Almost all the sites allow you to post your profile for free. You only have to pay a fee, if you decide you want to connect with someone.
Be honest about yourself and give lots of details so that people who share the same interests as you respond to your profile. Be open minded and make an effort to connect with those your respond.
Once you’ve met someone that you would like to meet in person, plan to meet in a public place for the first time. Enjoy and relax! It should be fun!
Good luck and God bless!
i have met 3 men from online dating sites – all different ones. we exchanged a few messages, then phone numbers and then met – dont take too much time on any of those activities- if its not the person for you why would you waste more time on them. On average from first “i like your picture” or “you look beautiful” to meeting for drinks – not more than 2 weeks.
yea it works..ive heard tons of stories and i actually met my boyfriend online and weve been together for 1 yr and a half. hes absolutely perfect for me i dont know where you live, but if your in ontario, i used meetmeinto.com..in my opinion online dating is really fun, you get to talk and get to know the person alot better without feeling like your being put on the spot. Then if the person seems interesting to you, and your ready to meet, then you switch numbers and so on and meet up..but i strongly recommend you see them on cam or something first because alot of people on these sites, steel other peoples pictures which is dumb but they re desperate. but overall i think online dating is really fun. Good luck!!
in fact for some people it is all too easy to meet and date online. After being married for many years and on my own for almost two years, I was ready to date and online dating seemed the best chance I had to meet someone. I did, and we were together for 18 months and explored the possibility of getting married. We were both genuine but I think we both realised marriage wasn’t going to work out for us and our relationship ran its course. However, I was still shocked to find he jumped onto an online dating site only weeks after week broke up that prompted me to post my profile. I wasn’t expecting to meet anyone and was surprised to meet someone I really liked and who seemed perfect. We took some time getting to know each other before getting serious, but because he has a PhD and is a teacher and seemed serious and sincere about life and about me, I trusted him much sooner than I probably should have. Our relationship wasn’t that great and we rarely saw each, which didn’t make me happy. However, we were still making plans just before Christmas when out of the blue I saw his profile on an online dating site – after my last experience I kept an eye on the site and was always glad to find he wasn’t there. When I saw his profile, I was gutted. It’s been an emotional roller coaster ride since and we haven’t seen each other again.
I put my profile up again and yesterday had coffee with someone who is interested in seeing me again, only this time I will be much more careful getting to know him well first and may settle for friendship instead. He’ll certainly have to do a lot more to show me he’s sincere before getting serious again.
My point is that it can be extremely easy to meet someone online. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing as being able to reach out to other people and find a friendly face can be what you need at the time. Only I think a few men have discovered how easy it is and have learned how to play the game, making it less likely they’ll do what it takes to make a relationship work or even do the right thing by a woman and treating her with respect. Men who wouldn’t normally be players have figured something out. So at the moment, I have mixed feelings about online dating.
