I was not sure of my pattern of finding women by happenstance, so I thought I would be a big person and join my age bracket and be all grown up. I placed an ad and found people who were E-mailing I didn’t seem to fit what their profile said, HA, then someone on the street yelled out my headline name. Needless to say that will not happen again!

Hi Julie, my online experience started with my divorce at age 46. It took some time to get used to the unwritten rules (which change depending on your dating goal). Example, if your dating goal is marriage detox, or just casual friendships with the opposite sex, the rule is to write a profile that communicates that to men -- IMPORTANT NOTE!! - men and women communicate poorly in writing, so your profile must be tuned up by a trusted member of the opposite sex so you'll be communicating effectively. Then just go out with people who interest you. Once your dating goal changes to finding a serious relationship -- and don't do this too soon, no less than 2 years after a major breakup!!! -- you can rewrite your profile and then sit down and write three lists. MUST HAVES. NICE-TO-HAVES. And the all-important FATAL FLAWS list. Then in your online work, dump all people who have fatal flaws immediately. Zero in on people who have the must-have qualities. You must then retune the lists because you will find what you thought was a nice-to-have is a must-have and a fatal flaw (like being within 20 miles of you) is not so bad a thing after all. Keep your profile honest but remember, keep an opposite sex person in the proofreading loop so it says to them what you want it to say! Then when you find someone you feel potential with, concentrate on them. There ya go, easy as falling off a log.

I went through the E Harmony questionaire but never followed up. Money outlay being one reason and it seemed as marriage was the intended end result. I am 66 years old,still working. I lost my wife 3 years ago and I am looking for a travel partner for places on my Bucket list, like Machu Pichu in Peru. Marriage would surprise me if I found the right person again. What online dating sites could someone steer me to that would fit my style.

Hi all from Moscow

Like anything else some are good and some are bad. One of the problems is that a good percentage of the people lie on their profiles, such as age, weight, marital status and on and on. They also upload photos 10 years old. On the good side many matches are made and good marriages as a result. Now a new gimmick has started they have cyber pimps that try to allure you to sign up for a particular sight so you can communicate with her, then that's the last you hear of her. She accomplished her mission ! The best sites actually are the free ones like this one for instance; therefore, any of you beautiful ladies
that are looking for a warm, passionate, romantic overall nice guy.....then I'm your guy.
Perhaps just to chat and check each other out
feel free to do so. wambrose@ymail.com

I've been using online dating for about 10 years now. it started out with honest and sincere people, but these days you get more and more predators as someone mentioned. I get responses from beautiful women that say they live in U.S. and then when you respond to their email they say they live in some African nation like Ghana. It's hard to believe that a place like Ghana has such a large population of mixed races. Then they have a sad story eventually that require money. I am a Christian, I have been single for over 14 years, I"m not looking for a one night stance or some pretty lady to drain me of all I own. I go to online dating to look for a serious relationship. I am 56 years old and I have a lot to offer. But sorry ladys, I do prefer someone that is younger, thats just the way I am. I'd rather stay single if I am not worthy of someone that is younger and attractive. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for someone to baby sit, just someone that is mature and appreciates me. I probably won't find her in online dating but I know she is out there. any interest email me at mike_williams502002@yahoo.com. I wish you all the best in finding the right person, but don't leave yourself vunerable.
God Bless

Hi Julie.

I am a 49 y.o. female. I have tried online dating a couple of times over the last 5 years. 3 years ago, I met about 6 men through Match.com. I did end up clicking with one of the gentleman. (I did a lot of weeding through and made sure to correspond several times or more before agreeing to meet someone. I always chose a place like a resturant or a cofee shop to meet a man). The one gentleman that I clicked with, unfortunately didn't work out. I then met a man the old fashioned way (in a bar/resturant) and we dated for 2 years. Sadly, it ended back in the summer. I decided to try online dating again, (Yahoo personals). Again, I did quite a bit of weeding out and had a good bit of dialog before meeting men. I met about 4 men in person. One of those men I have been seeing since the end of August. My opinion is that online dating shouldn't be the only source you use, however, it is a way to have dialog with people (on your own time and in the privacy of your home and not in a bar setting). Just remember, there are guys that have given up the bar scene and want to meet quality people which there are at dating sights. Just like in the "real world" and not the "virtual world", there are good and bad.... Best of luck!

First of all I don't want to sound very negative. I have done this off and on for the past four years after I was widowed. What a shock. I met a few people but when you are older there are more women than men looking. Also not being honest. There pictures are often much younger than they are. And most of the time they are looking for someone at least 5 to 10 years younger then they are. So unless you are young, gorgeous, have a lot of money I would think twice about it. It can be very expensive up to $50.00 a month. I don't know where else to meet people. I have tried the single dances but there never are any different men. So maybe someone else can help us.

Online dating can be good for some people and bad for others. You may need to get with someone you know that has done online dating and see how it worked for them. Do a lot of research about online dating before you plung into it. The bad side of online dating to me is the fact that you don't know if this person is really who they say they are. People pretend to be many things out in the open so just imagine how much they pretend online. But again, do your research first and then you decide if this is really what you want to do. I wish you the best of luck and I know you will find that perfect someone in time.

Comparing an experienced woman that knows something about herself to a used car? What a charmer.
You do have to meet people face to face but narrowing the contacts with the truth about what someone is looking for saves everyone time.

Hello Julie:

I share your reservations. I believe that online dating sounds exciting but one needs to be very careful of who you meet even online. There are predators out there surfing dating boards looking for vulnerable folks. I must admit I have joined an online dating site and I found that not everyone is looking for a serious or committed relationship, some are looking for an upgrade on the relationship that they currently have. Notwithstanding, I believe you should try it, everyone experiences are different. Be wise in your dealings, do not share too much personal information. Who knows, you may find just what you are looking for. I wish you the best in your love search.

The basic function of online dating is connecting with people and if there is an interest going on from beyond the contact. It really is not a form of dating. Dating means face to face meeting. Too many people try to use online dating as a social network in that they fall into the trap of exchanging too many emails before they move onto setting a time and place to actually meet. Unfortunately, what frequently happens in these situations is that one or both of the parties gets bored with the shallow email exchanges and moves on. Online dating works if both parties use it for an initial contact and screening and then if there is any interest fairly quickly first speak on the phone and then if there is still some interest, move onto actually meeting. I also recommend that you limit the amount of information that you share in the emails. With nothing else to go on, often too much is read into each word or piece of information resulting in turning off the recipient. Use online dating for what it was designed to do, making contact to see if there is a mutual interest and then meet if there is enough.

It is one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had. I've nevermet such crazy, off the wall, whacked oy coo coo bird lonny toon women in my life. Howevr I ve had the pleasure omeeti a few that were sane. Look, like the adage goes, "you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet a prince or princess".I' getting watts from the frogs. I wish people would not doctor their photos. They should be current. Be honest and open.

I'm 49 and have made many bad relationship choices. I joined eHarmony in June and after sifting through 200+ matches, have found a wonderful man. I highly recommend it.

Hi Julie,

I look at online dating for me as the intelligent choice in dating these days. I have been using online dating since I was in my 40s. I am 50 now. I have had some wonderful new experiences and met many people that I am still in contact with today. The men and the friends of the men I have dated are a blessing in my life.

I had a relationship that lasted 3 1/2 years with a retired attorney from San Francisco. I have traveled extensively with and to visit the people I have met online. One relationship lasted a 1 1/2 years. Commitment is a strong word even for us older people.

The key to online dating is not to become so "In Love" with a person before you have personal contact with them. Seeing a person's life style and being in that person's presence is very important to know the content of the man.

Good Luck,
Cindy
