yea I am on a few free personals sites and that is all. I figured out which paid sites are a scam and which ones are good. Been getting enough replies on free ones so no reason to go on a paid one at this time. thanks for letting me know its a scam. Josh

well I had signed up for a few before (local one and great expectations) and had no luck at all. I thought it was good, but after hearing what you guys said and my own experiences I dont think I will try it, too risky. Just had to get your guys opinions to make sure. On the other hand online is working good for me now. So I will stay with that. And I dont have to pay every month, so its good. Thanks for the help!

so online personals is better? and if so, why?

After I've contacted both parties with your basic profile information and a photograph, the two of you can decide whether or not to accept my suggested introduction. If so, I will setup a place and time for you to meet. OR I can exchange email addresses for you. This is called the "Slow Walk". The "Slow Walk" is actually an awesome way to really get to know someone. You can learn a lot from email and telephone conversations. *You are free to decline any introduction that I propose. This will not count against your number of introductions. *The meeting and "Slow Walk" are both considered introductions. and they have meetups as well: link removed so should I go for it? Tired of the games and ready for a long term relationship. PS. Figure this is a good way to meet "the one"!!

are you looking for something serious or just dating? link removed is working good for me now. get a few matches everyday and have sent out 10-12 emails now. I am also on eharmony but no matches lately. best ones are where you get matches.

I have tried the free ones and some paid ones. Paid ones are better cause you know they are serious about meeting. Any jerk can put an ad on a freee one. That being said I have had great luck with perfectmatch so far. Get matches every day. Paid 40 bucks for it instead of 60 (some special offer). Been on there a week now and allready emailed 10-12 people. No replies back yet, problly cause of holidays! So basically the best ones are where you get matches instead of havig to go through millions of profiles and pay to only get 1-2 emails a month. Good luck!

good points all! Thanks

I was thinking about something. Are online dating sites and matchmaking services the best way to meet "the one" because you have the option of emailing anyone from all over the world and locally (lot more exposure)? I know joining clubs and stuff is good to meet people, and I have met some wonderful people this way, but still didnt have the exposure like online dating!

yea. POF and the free ones are full of spam bots, game players, girls who have kids and want more (where is the former father?) Bunch of nuts. There are a FEW good people on them though. Always an exception to every rule!

sorry for the late reply. Well your making a lot of friends, right? thats good. I dunno what else to tell you. Hopefully someone else here has some other ideas.

Yes I do have quite a bit of hobbies and have met really nice people out there. Just wondering if matchmaking services were worth it. I am going to try it out. Thanks.

Hey all. I Have been looking for a soulmate for a while now. First some background on where I have been looking: When I was in college (december 04-july 06) I met some wonderful girls Who I became friends with (nothing more). I had an interest in a few but they were taken. Lost touch with them after college. At my current job I have met a nice girl who I was very interested in, but found out she smokes so lost a lot of interest. So obviosly I have no problem meeting people and making friends. But looking for the "ONE" well still working on that. So I was thinking why not try a matchmaking service? Found a local one here in atlanta area- 175 I think for 6 months. Also I am on perfectmatch and plentyoffish. So should I try the matchmaking service? Is it worth it? Advantages/disadvatages? PS. Not into the club/bar scene or any of that kind of thing, so thats why I ask.

wow, thanks for the help. Yea have been getting crazy replies on craigslist. ANd myspace- well chat with friends on there only. I am on link removed, seems good.

have you tried a church group? or car club, computer club?

Yea living here is better for everything (not just meeting people). Maybe you should consider moving to the south man. I too tried great expectations- lets just say when I called to ask a question lady on other end hung up on me, and she didnt know how much membership was. Plus no email address to email with questions- very unprofessional and unorganized. Dunno what else to tell you man. Try a club in school when you go back. Dont know what else to tell you.. Everything I have mentioned has worked for me (even in northern NY before I moved here) and very hard to meet people there. I have had great success living here in the atlanta area for being a northern transplant, lol. but yea might want to consider moving tot he south. Nice weather, very nice people, lots to see and do, and winter is only 3 months of yr (one ice storm and 1-2 light snows- inch or less, little more in mtns).
