Yes it is (imo), the conventional method of putting yourself out and about, seeing someone you like, and just having a conversation that may lead to a proper date, is actually VERY much easier than than using the net, as a means to meet someone.

I used to think it would be the other way around, but from the months I have tried it, and from speaking to other guys who gave it a try, at least once, there ratio of replies to messages appears to be v small. Tbf, I don't really use this site for dating or messages, however, a friend was on a site, POF(?), and reckons that the % of replies to messages, was like 10%, at best!

That is very low, however, not apparently uncommon, so, in reality, you would have a MUCH better opportunity if you just did it the old fasioned way!

It's easier to begin with but often turns out more complex in the end uh oh

I mean, it's harder to get rid of them if you work with them or they are neighbours.
