Online dating

[IronEagle]

For those Igglephans who participate in such a thing, what has been your experience?

After my marriage broke up it was tough. Eventually, I met my last GF via an online dating site. We dated for three years until that ended. It was a pretty good relationship for the most part and it did encourage me to enhance my life in a number of ways.

Now I'm single, over the marriage but a bit sad about the breakup of the last relationship, and it seems like I'm dealing with some decent women who are afraid of flakes and women who are flakes. I do have some decent prospects though. I don't want to get overzealous and end up with a flake.

Any thoughts and/or advice?

I enjoy it

..my story mirrors yours, including ending a 3yr relationship this past spring.

Did plenty of online stuff before my last GF, met a lot of cool people over the years.

My advice ,keep it light, don't create to many expectations and you will find the flakes, fakes, and head cases, will eliminate themselves fairly quickly.

Just go into with the approach "hey I just want to hang and hear your story", the rest sorts itself out and enjoy the human show.

I do think its one of the better ways to reach a lot of people in a short time but does require work on the correspondence end of things.

Plenty of Fish haha!! I heard about that site.

Show em the Ultimate Hot / Crazy Matrix and ask them to tell you which zone they think they are in and the same for you

That'll give you a good head start on the winnowing process

Bahahaha Plenty of Fish.

I'm surprised IG hasn't told us about Tinder.

Did it for a while after I broke up with a long term gf. Had some fun, met some real kooks and more then a few woman that showed either old pics or headshots only. When I met them it wasn't what I was expecting. Any profile with a good pic of a hot chic is getting bombarded with messages so you're gonna get lost in the shuffle. It was entertaining, and I have some funny stories, but I am not sure if I would be using it today. I know that I stopped using it after about a year of being single. Facebook ended up being better, as I was able to converse with people more and figure out if they were for real or not. Met my wife through it.

never heard of Tinder

Bahahaha Plenty of Fish.

I'm surprised IG hasn't told us about Tinder.

However, POF is awesome. Its like a mashup of every walk of life. Fun place to browse if youre single and its free.

agreed...Facenutz is the way to go

Now that my cover has been blown on the bored I cant tell most of my stories...and I have some doozies.

[Irish George]

We will have plenty to talk about...

I tried it maybe 10 years ago and didn't love it, but it wasn't a horrible experience or anything. I'd say easily half, and probably more, of the people I know met their significant other online, so it clearly works for a lot of people. I'll say to you what I always say to friends who are thinking about online dating but worry it's lame: imagine meeting a great person you really connect with and want to date, and they feel the same way. Does it matter whether you met them in a bar, or a friend introduced, or whatever, vs. some web site? Or course not. If you're looking to meet people, it's one way to do that. And it's not like it prevents you from meeting people offline, either.

Plenty of Fish is great...

Last night, I think I managed to line up a date with a hot chica from Uruguay this weekend. Need to confirm. Talked to her on the phone and her English is about as good as my Spanish. I went with the "we can help each other learn" angle.

At least if her pictures are accurate, she's pretty hot. She's got a lot of them online so that's a good sign.

[Irish George]

that's a great approach!!!

because its true! Imagine if you hit it of, the fun and mutual benefit you will both have from helping to learn each other's main language. It can be romantic too and sexy. Talk about the "universal language" with her.

Also...if she looks hot in multiple pics, she IS HOT. Hot girls online tend to look even better in person. Doggy girls online post their best possible old pics (as somebody else mentioned).

CONFIRM THAT DATE IMMEDIATELY, take her somewhere impressive and try to speak Spanish to her as much as possible.
