| Hi!
I have tried online dating and have actually met a great guy! The only problem is that I am alone the majority of the time. I am originally from WI and do not know anyone. My so called friend in WI no longer talks to me and I end up venting to my 8 1/2 year child...which is not a good thing! I am looking for a friend to talk to or I just may go crazy! |

| MEt a guy for drinks the other night, I met him on an online dating site. Ladies, come on, there has to be a better way. I didnt know what the hell to do for the 1 hour I had to sit and listen to him. Where are all the nice men in the word? Maybe I just shoundt try and pick men for myself I'm bad at it. Any way I can get someone lese to do the picking? |

| Just met a guy at the super market- what a trip he started following me aisle to aisle I finally turned around and asked him could I help him and he said I sure could. What a fun way to get the groove on. Keep your eyes open ladies whereever we go there is opportunity. |

| Well I am single and have been for most of my life. Its not that I dont want to date, I like to date IR and am also non-white and live in the UK. The thing is I find British men dull. I have always had a thing for American fellas but they are just not around. So any tips on how to bag a US fella ladies? |

| Though I have to agree with you that the online meeting can be very scary and at times very draining when you meet up with guys that you later find out you have nothing in common with, even complete opposites. I think that it helps you figure out more what you do and dont want in someone. Also, it helps you to get out there and be confident meeting new people, who knows might get a good friend out of it or he might have a friend that might be good for you. I have to say though i have met a couple creeps on line, i am happily married to my husband who i have been with for over 4 years online. Happy I took the risk! I totally reccomend getting out there nad having some fun, what do you have to lose? Good luck! |

| Hey Liz- Ya seeing someone!!
All things considered there are few things more annoying than this question. I am dieing for male companionship, am too freaked to do the internet too lazy to troll bars, and too uminterested to beg for blind date set ups. Am I alone in this? |

| Before meeting my ex I was very much into Eharmony and Match.com online dating. I met many guys, most of whom were just not worthy, nor truly interested in a serious relationship... I was even matched up with a diabetic alcoholic on Eharmony. Found that out on our second date. Good times (not!). Ironically, I met my ex at work, he'd transferred and we clicked...several years and one son later, I am back on the market. One of my dear friends married someone she met online. Her wedding was full of other married couples who'd met online. Though they didn't meet on EHarmony, my friend's husband now works for them and says the owner really is motivated to help people find love. I'm a member, again. Had a first date last week with a sexy and sweet divorced dad. He's a successful atty and am fighting off a crush. I was his first date post-divorce. I really like him. He may or may not call again. It's the nature of the dating game whether online or in the real world. In general, I believe men are less gentlemenly these days than in the days of our parents, but an online date (vs. a blind date) is even less so. I think it's due to there not being a mutual friend in the mix. Online guys magically disappear just as they once appeared...in your inbox. I would suggest only the more resilient of women pursue online dating as the repetitiveness of the "hey, I think you're cute" and "I'd like to get to know you better" stages with men are not always sincere, nor exclusive. I can't tell you how many of my dates looked NOTHING like their pics. lol. Having a ton of first dates is exhausting. If you do date online, be HONEST with yourself. Don't make excuses for a guy EVER...online or otherwise. If you're not attracted to him or not initially interested, follow your instincts! It's not worth the price of a sitter to go out and meet a guy just to confirm the doubt you felt when initially reading their profile. Okay...way TMI. :) My final thought...online dating is just one exercise of many, which can serve us in keeping our hearts open and vulnerable to dating and ultimately meeting someone special. As long as we're open to all of the opportunities in our lives, we're doing great! I hope my sexy attorney calls me for date #2...if not...NEXT! :) |

| Liz Loved your answer on the radio about being single with kids and how you choose a man. I feel exactly the same way but get tongue tied when asked so thank you for saying it just as I feel it. Are you seeing someone? HA HA |

| Thank you divorce sucks- what must it make me if I still love him a raving lunatic? I know it sounds insane but I can't shake the love I feel for him. Yes it is fringed with hate resentment and fury, but he was really the love of my life. |

| Hey Raven -
I hate to hear you say how deeply your ex-husband affected your self esteem and made you question everything about - yourself!
I have been divorced for 4 years myself - have even written a book about it called - you guessed it - Divorce Sucks - and I talk a lot about this.
When someone we love and trust treats us with less respect than a meter maid - you are right it strips you to the core -
But that does not reflect WHO YOU ARE - rather it reflects who they are and how little self esteem and character they possess.
Thank your lucky stars he is gone - he sounds like a real catch - NOT!!!! |

| I'm with you divorce sucks, but you dont sound like it sucks. I think what you might mean is men suck. I try not to think men suck but I'm 4 years divorced and I still cannot seem to shake the idea that my husband was cheating on me for more than half my marriage. Ends up I guess its the kind of thing that really makes a person question everything. My self esteem my faith in people and in live leave much to be desired. |

| Well
Hello Everyone -
I must say when I think of how many fights I have had over proper milk placement in the dairy section of my fridge I am grateful to be single.
Also distant memories of a bad waffle robe and outrageous dinner demands being on my own is kinda great!
The list thing though.....don't know about that one... |

| Been scoping my whole life, until recently its a bitch out there. Gotta keep it together pay attention, believe you deserve the best and don't settle. I think maybe I won't be scoping for a while. Have had a great 2 months with who could turn out to be Mr. Perfect for me. Met him on the golf course with a bunch of friends. |

| Went on several, and all sucked. Small talk with a stranger I'm just no interested. I think finding a common denominator with someone is key, too much of a long shot the blind date thing! |

| Liz.. I have quite a few clients with serious online dating success. I was recently invited to a wedding - they met on eHarmony.
I agree- I would cut a blind date short too a coffee or lunch or drink. Dinner is too much of a commitment if you happen to be miserable. |

| I've only heard of people having success on line, I dont actually KNOW any of them. I could only add to the pile of loser stories surrounding my internet dating experiences. I've given up on any conscious pursuit at this point it seems to take too much energy. |

| OK....blind dates. I always say if a Great friend who know me well sets me up i go. But only for coffee or lunch and sometimes a drink. Never accept for dinner. If its bad....way to long to be with someone! You know what they say thought, no guts, no glory! Why not a quick cup of coffee...just in case! |

| Ok so I'm not divorced just single, and in my case its a preference. Lets talk about on-line dating for a segunda here. For me, it has smeared any reasonable idea I've had about finding the right guy for me- Have you seen the guys on there? MAybe I'm on the wrong one but I got to scope elsewhere, any ideas? And no thank you on the blind dating thing either! |

Blind dates are what are what I'm dealing with right now, and advice? |
