I have thought about this subject for a long time and think it's time to ask that question.

I never thought I would join a online dating site and never believed that It was possible to meet a partner on one of these sites but about four months ago my friend recomended a dating site to me so I thought well why not I am single so what have I got to lose!

I have been on dating sites for four months and have chatted to a fair few women since I started online dating but I do wonder Is It natural to meet someone this way?

I know these sites are good to chat and maybe make friends online but can we really find love on these sites?

Do you have any stories you want to share about yourselfs or people you know who have met and fallen in love with someone from a online dating site?

Like any other method of meeting a significant other, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also like any other method, it usually takes some time.

I do think online meeting is becoming more commonplace. Not long ago it would have raised some eyebrows.

is possible, just don't let it overtake you and stay cooldancing never know who you are talking to and it takes time to know a person, you can understand a person on what they write about if they even exist...

Many have married but I don't think that's the way it usually goes.

I've been on sites since 2006. There were two other sites before CS but they proved to be really bad experineces and they were paid sites.

I've met two guys from CS. One was a convict and the other wanted to control me. Needless to say, it was a waste of time.

I'm no longer looking not because of those experiences but because of someone I met that wasn't on a single site.

I think these sites are good for people who just want to have someone to talk to, someone to joke around with.

I thing the name Connecting Singles is misleading. I think it should be Connecting People. I don't mind that married people are on here but I have seen others complain about married people being on a single site.

The reason it's becoming common place is because not as many people are going to bars to meet. Personally, I'd rather meet a guy in a bar. You can see who you are talking to rather than trusting words on a computer screen.

I think this is just one to find love, some of people lucky to find their partner trough the dating site. But some of meet at an other place.
So no matter where you are or how you will find your love it always be around you just need to find the way.
Even you're not find your love in here at least you'll meet some of good people in here.

Keep try & love is surround you, maybe one day in some of way you'll meet her

Best luckhandshake

Yes like myself who is single have nothing to lose but I personally don't think its a natural way of meeting someone wether free or subscription and am going by experience on this also.

Where I live the nitelife is just drained of itself and I wonder if this whole cyber revolution has anything to do with it or its purely just the soo called recession I obviously hope the latter.

To put it bluntly their is nothing like real time face to face I would much rather be turned down that way than here as i think it leads to much frustration.

On line dating sites are more difficult because people do not get to see face to face expressions but it could be fun.
