So here's your new title Betsey. Our last thread is still active but figured we could run them parallel for a short period of time.
I picked this title because it seems a good number of us either are searching for someone via one of the several online dating websites or are at least thinking about doing that in the near future. Since there are so many different sites available how do you know which one is right for you. There's both paid (Match, e-Harmony) and free sites (Plenty of Fish, OKCupid) out there. Sites that cater to specific age groups (Ourtime), or religous preferences (Christian Mingle, JDate), etc. There are even date type specific, i.e. JustLunch.
At one time or another, I've been on e-Harmony, Match, OKCupid, Plenty of Fish, and Ourtime. So I guess you could say I've been around the block a few times. To date, while I have had my most promising opportunities on Match, none of them have panned out to a solid long term relationship. So at some point I wonder if I have to re-evaluate what (if any) online dating website I should be using. While I am most comfortable with Match and have received the most realistic responses from women on it (versus OKCupid and Plenty of Fish which for me was just a trainwreck of scammers), I'm still searching for love and perhaps as we edge closer to the new year, it might be time to mix things up. Food for thought I guess.
