I am single. Yes, I use one dating website. I met some good people there. But we stayed just friends. Nothing more. And from my experience i can say dating websites is can’t help you to find your life patner. Friends yes. But nothing more.

I am taken and yes i have used online website many times to find a suitable partner. Online website are very useful to find a partner but it doesnot mean there will be a perfect match as you wont be able to get to know each other much through online. Nowadays people are using online website just for timepass not for any healthy relationship.

i amnot pessimistic but everything has its own pros and cons. good luck

I’m single and ready to mingle, I’ve been trying those online dating but that could not work. It’s kind of you are loving a virtual person and…

It’s great to meet someone face to face and tell ‘em what is your need.

To find a date for a marriage is not the same thing when we go to do shopping in a supermarket (dating websites)..we cannot buy the true love for a long marriage like a bag of nuts… maybe I am wrong or too old,but that is.. it is necessary the ignition spark….,understood guys ??!!

I’d never throw my profile in an online haystack, hoping to find the needle of my dreams.

I still believe one will find that perfect someone when he/she least expects it :)

Doubts? Have them! Just know I do speak from first-hand experiences :))

I really don’t believe too much in dating websites …Is something really far than loock and talk face to face with people that you really know…

to my mind only 10% out of 100 work with online dating, not more. although it’s getting more and more popular and common. Rafael wants to date but my personal belief is that it cannot happen just because u want but it happens mostly accidently :-)) like magic.
