    One last one. Internet dating is rubbish, the women get swamped by married perv and the men get ignored.

    I'm starting to agree, I'm 30 yet all I seem to be getting emails from are men in their late 40's and 50's! I'm not THAT ugly surely....

    Re the commitment thing, I'm looking for a relationship so while I wouldn't be demanding commitment I'd at least want to know it was a remote possibility, no point meeting someone who ONLY wants fun no matter what..

    I have just become single after 7 years! Boo! You are not filling me with much hope of finding someone else! Haha!
  • I've just recently become single and like many have looked at some online dating sites. However, the whole thing scares me witless.

    Am feeling I need to get out there and meet people but again, the prospect of walking into a bar and striking up a conversation just seems to smack of desperation :(

    I am the same Splodge! I really would not know where to start! How do you start a conversation with someone, and not make it sound cheesy?
  • I'm at a loss, I'm sure "what's a nice man like you doing in a place like this would go down so well"...NOT!
  • Dating sights are just like real life. They'll be saddos, tarts, freaks, AND some good women on there. Just need to keep looking, if you've got the patience!

    Ps - I haven't met/clicked with a good one off a dating site yet!

    so far have had a good experience of internet sites (eharmony & pof) - shoe diva even checked my profile the other day! would say its a pity of the distance..

    Its easy to spot the weirdos (Women with dozens of cats, and the working girl types stand so out).
  • OK I'm single and have heard these rumours too but have never discovered whether MSE is the great knocking shop is true???!!!

  • Personally I feel more connected on Forums such as this as it gives people a chance to get to know you, good, bad and bloody ugly.
