Funny, I was thinking something similar when I saw your thread.

I was thinking, are we a sad bunch of people sitting with our laptops/computers chatting to people we have never, and may never meet.

I joined this site in the hope of getting a date but now I'm mostly on just the forums.

Of course !!

But you must join eHarmony and pay them a fortune.
Nothing good comes cheap.

I agree, if you go around with a checklist, you will never find a partner....perfect or otherwise. Once there is some kind of connection, you have a chance

I'm sure there is, depends how hard you look. I guess you have to be specific? Could happen you meet someone offline as well. My friend met her current boyfriend online, they are together over 2 years so it does work for some people but I reckon not for most!

Yeh I joined as it was recommended to me by a member and so I did and from the first night having great craic im actually more interested in having a giggle with people on the forums than looking for romance!

I dont think internet DATING is for me but I have made some really good friends through it and you being one on them, so Im happy with that. grin

can i just add the point that women in general, i wont say men are totally diff but we are diff 2 a certain extent.. women want specific things maybe a list of 3 or 4 and if u dont have one of them then thats u out the window.. i just think and i have said this on numerous occasions that Some people take this thing 2 serious, literally as if its their last chance saloon 2 find love in life lol.... chillax and things will take their own course :)
