Do You Have Any Experience Of Using An Online Dating Site? Which Site? Was It A Good Or Bad Experience?

I’m a member of OKCupid which is a free online dating site which works via matching personalities through the amount of questions you answer. I’ve met numerous people via this site and have had a year long relationship with one of them.
With the exception of my ex boyfriend, all but one person I’ve met via this site (about 6 people) has failed to contact me after the first meeting. In some cases it was obvious that there was never going to be a second ‘date’, yet in the other cases these were guys that I got on really well with (no awkward gaps in conversation and a generally nice day/evening).
My profile is up to date and has relatively recent photos on there (so they know what I look like before meeting)… I should also point out that there’s never any physical contact – just a handshake or friendly hug so it’s not as if they have sex with me and then disappear. I also pay my way – getting in the first coffees and taking turns.
Anyone have experience of online dating? Am I encountering more time wasters as this is a free site? Is the ‘disappearing’ thing common? What’s your story?
Thanks in advance :)

    So nice question.
    I asked same question on yahoo. I received many answers. You may add me in contacts and can read answer of your same question and you may read my all other questions & answers also. I’m thinking one beautiful joke for this beautiful question now.
    If Answer of same question had Joke, it would have really Crazy.

  • I have a happy experience with online dating at millionairecupid.com. Till now, I still believe the cupid dating networks are great. I met him, actually he met me there since the first icebreader is sent from him. Now we are happily married. Be confident, you will find you Mr right! Or you can go to millionaire cupid, many people there are quite serious and gentle.

    Emby, I’ve had good success with online dating services. Nearly all are free to join and it’s a fun way to flirt online. http://www.cutelocal.com It’s fun to see what other people post online and allows me a change to check out the competition in my area.

    I met my boyfriend on http://wwwsinglesnet.info
    It took about a month, and he showed interest in me. I registered for a lot of different ones, and didn’t like most. This one is the best so far, and the best thing is it is free!

    Paid dating sites are a bit of a scam, the ratio of men to women is massive on any dating site….If you can’t use myspace or facebook then I would reccomend signing up to a couple of free sites and trying your luck with a few girls….remember every girl on these sites probably gets hit up alot, so you have to try and differentiate yourself from everyone else.

    well the best thing about paid dating sites is that they provide a level of commitment, since it is actually involves a paid fee, but do not give up on free dating sites that fast :) , try using another dating website. i used yourdate site for a while, it`s popular and i have dated 2 and hanged out with few interesting guys.

    You can always find hot girls on myspace or facebook, but it really helps to know the person first and often people are not really interested in dating on these sites. So your best bet is to sign up to a site that other girls signup to and look for dates on…. Of course you also have to win them over but thats a whole different question. Below you can find a couple of free dating sites, that have some hot girls
