The face to face method works best for me. I think the best way of dating is the speed dating, where you meet a lot of people i a short period of time. The face to face method works best for me.

I realized that it was actually more secure than meeting a stranger at a bar, club or supermarket and giving him my phone number. I actually was drawn to the idea of getting to see hoe a man communicates in written form. I wanted to know if he was a good speller (or at least knew how to use spellcheck), if he might wax poetic, etc. I liked the idea of a man getting to know my mind a bit and not just focusing on my photos, but in the end… Well, you hit the nail on the head.

I actually laughed out loud (for real). After all the author went through, I’m glad she had a happy ending. @ Dionne, I don’t believe online dating is at all desperate. At the same time, (normal, mildly attractive, gainfully employed) single men don’t usually seem to have as difficult a time finding dates as women do… so it makes me wonder if the men dating online are actually normal, mildly attractive, gainfully employed or single. Either way, good luck! This was a great post! I actually laughed out loud (for real).

Yeah, I’ve also been a bit leery about e-dating, but I think that’s more about my personal hang-ups more so than the e-dating itself. When you think about it, it’s actually not unusual to use it as a method of meeting people, especially since we spend so much time on our computers everyday. Let us know if you ever take the e-dating plunge. I’d be curious to know how it works out for you. Hey Dionne,

I have friends who’ve met their companions the e-way, but a good old fashioned friend hook-up always felt more authentic to me. Maybe that’s why I’m still single at forty?
