Oh my word.

I've joined a dating website! Gaah! I've been talking to some insanely gorgeous guys. Wish one would ask me out though!

Hah, any advise? I'm new to this!

Can I ask what site you used? I used eharmony once. I found a great guy but discovered too late that he lied on his profile. He said he was a non-smoker then told me two month later that he only smokes during football season. 

Moral of the story - be honest! that is about all the advice you need.   

[SpookyTrees]

No advice but I've been told that's how to meet someone these days!!! Good luck!!!!

[Icecrystalline]

I'm not in eharmony, don't worry just one a friend recommended to me. I've been very honest, and it's paid off. I've met three amazing men who are so lovely and genuine. I really think a date might be on the cards! Thank you ladies, I'm pretty excited!

[Khema]

I wasn't trying to bash eharmony, it really is a good site.

Best of luck!

I used okcupid on and off and met my current bf from it! My advice is not to be shy to send the first message or ask the guy out! I messaged my bf first and he was really happy I did! Otherwise we might have missed each other. We live together now and it felt so rewarding deleting that account.

[Icecrystalline]

Eternia, that is so lovely to hear! Makes me feel happier about the whole idea!

I've been speaking to a guy for hours now, and he's so perfect for me. I hope he's genuine. I've probably frightened him off as he asked me my romantic ideals. I was very honest and said cheating isn't ok, and honesty is the best policy. Ah well, at least it's been nice,

Just be careful and trust your gut.

Just be careful. I don't know about other sites but there is atleast one out there that will take your personal information without your permission and randomly spam different people around your age and the opposite gender.

You could be talking to a computer.

That said, I do hope that things are genuine and wish you the best of luck <3

[Icecrystalline]

Thanks ladies I've actually been givian the guy I likes facebook, and we've agreed to go on a date although I'm waiting to hear date and location. I'm so excited and nervous. I hope I am ready for this, because I don't want to mess this up!

And thanks for the warning melody, dat , I hadn't realised. I hope the site I'm on is ok. Fingers crossed anyway. I haven't give any personal info away.

There is I guess always a need to be careful online, however you could just as easily meet a serial killer in a pub as you could online.

I will also say that I met my fiance on Plenty of Fish in November 2012, and he is the most wonderful person I have ever met, he truly is the right man for me. He totally understands me and I understand him, we're both mad as hatters and I have someone in my life who I know loves me for who I am and I love him the same. And we are getting married in four months time.

Life is all about taking chances, and is to short to waste on regrets and missed opportunities, be aware of the risks of online dating but also be open to it.

And good luck with any dates you get and I hope you find your number 1

I've never had the experience of online dating, but it's where my mother and step-dad met and now they've been together 9 years! Good luck Icey!
