Met a great lady on Match in 2006. We dated for six years.
Have had two shorter-term relationships in the past year from OKCupid and eHarmony, and recently began another eH one which I think could possibly go the distance. She is lovely, smart and beautiful.
I like these sites because I live in a rural area and there are not a lot of women around here that appeal to a professional who would prefer a woman with at least a college degree and preferably not with kids. Additionally, the bar/hookup scene never appealed to me, and writing is my strength, so it gives me a good way to introduce myself, as I sometimes don’t come across fantastically in person.
It is what you make of it. If you go looking for losers and perverts, you’ll probably find them. But there are very quality people out there looking for long-lasting relationships.
The problem is that there are so many fakers that know that, now.
I am truly glad for you...that it worked out for you.
I guess the point that I failed to make is that face to face matchups are nearly infallible...whereas, the internet is full of fake lonely hearts and getting fuller every day.
Yes, I know that is poor grammar...especially coming from a Professor of English Literature, as am I.
See what I mean?
