Have you had an interesting, funny or scary experience with online dating services?
When I was using different services, I actually had really good experiences. Some of the women I dated had some interesting stories though. By the way, I just got engaged to my "Match". I went on the the service to check out my new matches and there was an old friend I hadn't seen in years and we were matched. We got together to "catch up" and we are still catching up. It worked out well for me, but I have to believe there are some funny stories out there.
My ex started a profile for me on a dating site, and a mature we will say dating site. I ignored it, since I knew I didn't start it, and IP address nowadays are saved when you register for those sites, but that was my experience.
I suppose the profile your ex placed on your behalf was not of things you would have put there. I was sitting in front of a coffee shop waiting on a date to arrive.She did a drive-by and checked me out.When she came back she claimed to have been lost
No....I wouldn't have put those type of pictures on that type of website.Was flattered really, that someone would take the time to think of me and spend that much time doing something evil like that.Didn't bother me, except to solidify the "ex" part.
I'm a fan of online dating because I've met a few boyfriends that way. My worst stories from online dating are - The time I joined a dating site and received over 200 messages in one day. Whoa! It was mostly spam messages And another time, I'd spoken to a date on the phone for a week after matching up online, and we finally arranged to meet. In all of our discussions he'd failed to tell me he had a physical disability prior to meeting him. It was quite a shock when I arrived for our date. Like he thought I wouldn't notice or it wasn't worth mentioning, but he could not use his hands. Hmmm.

On online dating sites, why do some men choose to be represented by a picture taken in a bathroom?Most of the time the pictures are not very flattering, but the context makes them downright repulsive. If you are a man, could you shed some light on the phenomenon? If you are a woman,...

Have you ever used an online dating site?If so, was it successful? If not, would you consider trying a site to find your mister or miss right? I never have tried online dating, chances are I probably never will, but I like hearing about the success stories or the funny memories.

Some say that online dating is dangerous, that meeting a stranger and agreeing to see them is unsafe compared to meeting someone at a bar.There are arguments for both sides, but I was wondering what you hubbers had to say!
