I always laugh when I hear about people seeking the love of their lives on Craigslist. As online dating as evolved over the years there’s an abundance of choices. It seems like Craigslist specializes in one type. the quick fling.

Online dating sure has changed, going from an embarrassing little secret you weren’t sure whether you should tell your friends about to a huge industry full of services, products and niches. You’ve got senior dating, gay dating, professional dating, Jewish dating, tennis player dating, hook up dating…. you name it! No stigma really anymore, a friend of mine who is still single into her mid-30’s now gets ALL of her dates from online. Whatever helps you find someone that makes you happy is fine with me.

More and more people are using the online service to ‘hook-up’. Whatever happened to real dating? Hmm.

I think Craigslist is a dangerous place to find any date. Careful extremely careful. It scares me when I go check out some of the stuff there. And I love the article here. Very catchy:)

well, online dating is just a better way to find dates or find your soul mate. instead of meeting strangers face to face, you get your chance to meet someone online. then if you get turned down, you won’t feel bad.

Hey, don’t knock online dating, folks. I met my husband through a man I met on Lavalife…..

You have to work on weeding out the bad ones because they are still going to be around no matter if you meet them online or through a friend.

Craigslist is the WORST.

Women submit the WORST personal ads on this blog.

DO NOT visit the site if you’re faint-hearted. No porn or nudity, but this blog will show you how clueless men are about trying to get dates with women. NSFW!

Comical and terrifying. You’ve been warned!

You asked the question:
“Speaking of which, how honest are you online when you described yourself? How honest were they?”

The answer is that people DON’T tell the truth online. Why should they? You only find out about people by meeting in person. This “getting to know the REAL YOU first” stuff is a bunch of crap.

I work for a OFFLINE dating service called Eight at Eight Dinner Club, and we have chapters in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New York, and Washington DC. 4 girls and 4 guys go out to dinner and we match you up based on your preferences. You buy a package of 5 dinners, so you meet 20 prospects over the course of your membership.

Yeah, it costs money, but you’ll get more out of it than wasting time, money, and energy on online dating services where everyone misrepresents themselves. You have to ask yourself what do you value you more, your time or your money??

I agree that relationships can be challenging. In fact, I’ve tried pretty much everything.

Online dating has its pro’s and con’s. I have learned though that if you talk with someone long enough through IM and/or email, if they are lieing, they will slip up. If someone is insistant on meeting quickly after we first start talking online, I will send them on their way also.

I think online dating sites are just a tool for communication, same as telephones. Its not the be all and end all of dating.

Internet dating has been great for the industry. It has warmed an entire generation of users to the prospect of getting help in dating and paying for that help.

Online dating has changed really…but so has also changed the fear of meeting someone with his faked profile…I dont consider safe meeting at all guys from facebook, Myspace etc…I rely more on meeting selected people directly…you know what I mean? something like Bluepont is also safe and maintains privacy…I installed it on my cell phone and have been getting good results …privacy for me is most important…I dont want to meet a 23 year guy (online) who turns out to be 45 year old man!!!
