[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an unrelated observer whose coworkers are trying to get me to do online dating, I really feel for the OP, and maybe the OP's date if she's sending him a message? I have no idea. I don't understand the back and forth etiquette of online dating.

Is it worth it, people who've done it? Is it worth the constant self-doubt? I've been fine for years, feel like the last thing I need is a (or any, online, multiple?) person who aren't really interested. I don't want to waste my time, and it seems like any online thing is going to be a waste of time.

I'm second hand jaded! Really, others' experiences make me appreciate silence so much more...

I was much like you, resisted the online thing for a LONG time, was mostly content on my own and with the few relationships I'd have from people I met in real life. But honestly,I was ready for a relationship, and real-life offers limited meetings, and online dating exposes you to many people you'd never meet otherwise. Just know (as it sounds like you do) that there will be a learning curve. Try a site for a few months. If that isn't working, rejig your profile, your approach, or try another site. It's overwhelming at first, but becomes much easier if you stick with it for awhile. If you're seeing someone several times, and there's a lot of doubt, they likely aren't the person for you.

I've been doing it off-and-on, tried 3 different sites, for a year now, and have not made it farther than 5 dates with anyone. However, my first date #6 is scheduled for this week. This person has met some of my friends, I can see them fitting in with my life, and I'm contemplating exclusivity. [/quote]
