[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you know when you read their profile and looked at their pictures or did it take dating them to establish the attraction?

[b]I don't want to go on a bunch of dates with different people but is that how it works?[/b] Did you know just from initial conversation that there's more serious potential for that person?[/quote]

Yes, that is how it works. I knew my husband was a keeper after the first date, and soon after we connected online, but it was my second go-round with online dating. Between the two periods of my life when I was doing it, I had a lot of missed connections (back and forth messages that never worked out to figuring out how to meet up), some good dates, and some really bad ones.

You need to meet people in person, and quickly. Don't spend weeks messaging and/or on the phone. People turn out to be totally different in person.

That said, you can be reasonably picky to narrow it down to people you're more likely to want to be with. I didn't want to date anyone who lived too far away, was allergic to cats, or already had children. I figured if I was too picky, I could broaden my criteria later.

But the chance that guy #1 or #3 is going to be THE ONE, is really unlikely. Give it a time frame, and see how it goes.[/quote]
