So that explains it......

To be honest with you Dianne.. that is exactly why I had let my membership to Match.Com run out.. because I swear to you.. that was over 50% of the men *****sponded to my profile. (( and trust me, I made it very clear I was NOONES side dish... )) Of course the day before my membership ran out.. I got an e-mail from John... and in order to respond, I had to pay the $19.95 ... we sent one note back and forth.. and then met.. and the rest is history... but like I said before.. it was the best $19.95 I've ever spent!

That is so cool that you guys met that way!!

I had a guy show up at Krispy Kreme last week....(figured out where I worked from the "hot doughnut" comment in my profile), who was definitely not for me. But it creeped me out so much, that I deleted all my accounts!!!

I'm thinking that I need to actually see someone real, because most guys are so fake online.

My sister tried the internet dating thing as well.. she gave up .. she was just so OVER the games.  She went to a "singles social hour" hosted by a local bar & grill (( she lives in GA )) and met the man she's been dating for over 5 months now.

I'm all about the face to face meetings... hmmm maybe that's a business I need to consider starting up!!

 

Hey!  I met my husband through Yahoo personals back in the day when they were free.  LOL. However, my situation isn't exactly picture perfect right now.  However, we had a great marriage for 5 years before the drama started.  I know that kind of crap can happen regardless of how you meet DH.  If things continue to go south with DH, I would def give internet dating another chance.  Don't get me wrong, I met a lot of frogs, but I finally met my prince....I think.

I was considering trying to lick my elbow before I even got to the end of yor post!!
