[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious about any success stories. I signed up for one of this dating apps because I'm really bored BUT I really prefer to meet a guy in the real world. I'm chatting with a couple of guyz who want to take me out on a date. I'm dragging my feet because I'm old fashioned  when it comes to dating and don't really think you can meet a marriage worthy guy online. [/quote]

2nd Marriage for me, first one was before "online" and we met at school.

Met my current DW on match.  We've been together 5 years, just celebrated our 3rd anniversary and have an 18 month old.  It's working out pretty well.[/quote]

I hit post too fast.

I don't know why you think the odds of meeting "marriage worthy" is any better in one context over another.  You need to look at "online" as merely being a way of finding out who else is out there, single and looking.  You "meet" and date in the "real world".  You don't have an online-only relationship.

I think you're dragging your feet because you're nervous about actually meeting them in real life, and you're calling that "being old fashioned",..  that's not "old fashioned"...that's wanting a risk free dating experience.

Just go meet them for coffee or a walk in the park, someplace public, and have a conversation.  You don't go from having never met in person to worrying about marriage in a couple of dates anyway.  Guaranteed, you'll kiss a few frogs and they'll remain frogs and you'll invest time in relationships that don't work out...that's how it goes.  The wonderful thing about online is you can limit yourself to people with similar goals and values.[/quote]
