I am so done with online dating.

I hate it. I'm not going to do it anymore.

Well, are you looking for a date, or are you looking for a relationship? If you're looking for a date or hookup, online dating sites are probably adequate. If you're looking for a meaningful relationship, try other ways of meeting people. Join a club, get involved in volunteering, etc. It's a great way to meet REAL people. Give it a try.

Natty

I've said that too. But eventually the lack of real life dates gets to me and I go back on. So for now I'm saying that I'm currently on hiatus and will likely return in a couple of months.

Right on!

I too am over it. I hate the whole visual vending machine aspect. My foray into that scene did not last long - a few months a couple of years ago. I found the whole experience devoid of any sincerity with a great deal of assumed sexy time.

On the other hand...

I met someone so awesome online that I panicked. She was so together that I ran away and hid. I'd love to reconnect but I'm waiting until I have something to offer and it's taking a while.

On another note, I think Natty (and geeknomad too) is someone it would be interesting to meet in real life.

Why is it one or another with online dating? Personally, I'm more 'meh' about it and look at it as an extension to other dating avenues (and by meh I mean, I'm not looking for the love of my life in online dating and take it w/ a grain of salt -- like all dating).

Yes, I do it and like others, I get annoyed by the 'window' shopping aspect but I don't find it that much different than going out to clubs/meet ups/etc.

@ on the other hand

Was she into you too? Was she surprised when you turned tail and ran? I ask because if you answered "yes" to those questions then you were already offering her something of unfathomable value: yourself.

You want to reconnect? Do you still have yourself? There you go - you've got something to offer. Go ahead. Take the plunge and reconnect. Unless, of course, she has told you to leave her alone then it would be best to move along.

I never date online...

The thing about online dating I don't understand is... You're sitting on your ass looking for someone who is also sitting on their ass. I just don't get how that is attractive.

Have an old friend

who met his wife on Lavalife.

Happily married 11 years with 2 kids.

If you want good results, don't go for the free sites, because you get what you pay for and I think a lot of people use the free online sites just for dates, not really longterm.
