Internet Dating - 03/05/01 02:28 AM
Hi All:<P>This seems like the right place to post this. I've been doing alot of internet dating the last few months. I'm finding it very easy to get dates, very easy to get repeat dates, but very hard to find someone that I feel I could build a future with. Anyone have any thoughts on how to make this medium more successful?<P>Today I spoke on the phone with someone I had been e-mailing for about two weeks. Turns out he still lives at home with his wife, although they're supposedly "separated". I told him that I wouldn't consider meeting him until he had a divorce in process and was out of the house. I will NEVER be an OW. The last guy I met described himself as "15 pounds overweight". When I met him at the restaurant, I'd say he was easily 250 pounds at 5 foot 9. I'd call that 75 pounds overweight. Is there a quicker way to get at honesty?<P>What other approaches have you used to meet dates? I'm finding that almost all the activity is coming from the internet. No one seems to have anyone to fix me up with and the neighborhood is 100% families. Just curious.<P>I am having fun with this though. Even though it make take eons to find Mr. Right, I'm going to lots of dinners and movies and having fun meeting people. Anyone care to share other thoughts about how to meet people once you finally decide to do it?
