    Good luck and dont rush anything.

    I had been chatting for a couple of weeks to a guy from a dating site, his e-mails made me lol.

    so similar whatamess!

    I read his emails and laughed out loud! but how I read him was far funnier than in real life.............I put a lot more humour in than he did!

    I had a different tone in his 'voice' and got him very wrong.............had to wave bye bye quickly.

    My friend is 43 and has joined a well known internet dating agency. She's had to pay and will get 6 months free if she "doesn't find love" within 6 months. She has been so disheartened by the response that she has got so far that she is giving up. I am finding that she contacts guys but they never respond. She is (in my opinion) attractive, petit and has a great sense of humour although very fussy and particular. She has recently had counselling for depression. She doesn't have any children and has a good job but she is so very lonely and has had rotten luck with fellas over the years. All her friends, including me, have children and a partner. She told me that she doesn't have anything to live for. She admits she is very fussy which is making it even harder to find a partner. Do you guys know of any internet dating sites that you don't have to pay and that are good? I just want to get her out of this rut and help find her, at least, a companion. She's done Speed Dating and won't do that again. She's been to singles nights and won't do that again. What can I do to help her out?

    i have a friend who met her ex-OH through sarah beeny's site singlefriend.com

    They dated for about 4 months and although they got on really well he was a bit older and really wanted to start a family - she wasn't so keen so they went their seperate ways after they found the couldn't compromise.

    She doesn't feel she had a bad experience though......

    why does she have to join the dating sites why doesnt she join some night classes/freindship clubs in her area and get to know people that are in the same position as she is and you never know she may even find what she is looking for there...
