I've been on Match for about a month. Haven't met my soulmate yet but the men on there are much more serious about wanting a relationship. It's a refreshing change. And there are actually men my age who are interested in me. Bonus.

MA 2, don't give up on men. I know it's rough out there but I do know that there are people out there that are seeking the same thing you are. A soulmate. A person that enhances your life, someone who knows they can function without you but knows their life will only be enhanced by your presence.

No. I tried match, eharmony, okcupid, coffee bagel, and bumble, gave up on dating all together. I think I'm better off buying nice purse, pretty shoes, spend quality time on sleep, exercise, and work. Screw dating service that just want your money and screw men that just waste your energy and time. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‘ πŸ’„πŸ‘—πŸ‘œπŸŒ‚

I did match and eharmony. E harmony doesn't let you communicate until you've finished their process. They have a bunch of people that are no longer active proposed as matches for you. Complete fraud. For Match, I found a lot of out of state dudes that kept messaging me, even though I limited my search to 10 miles from home. Lots of frogs, but it's hard to really get to know someone on the first few dates. I ended up finding my current boyfriend walking my dog.

So for dating ages, take one half your age plus 7 or for math nerds x=.5n+7. And MA2, I don't think you should give up either. There are guys like me that are trying to find a good woman to love. Plus I would buy all the things you want haha. Win-Win πŸ˜‰

Jeez, am a little older than MA1; RSM1's formula means I will be waiting a long time...πŸ˜‚

AM 1, I'm 38

MA1 I'll just say this, I love women who are mature and know what they want and can have a good time and hold a real authentic conversation -- and I consider myself more mature than normal, so I'm just saying you have nothing to lose

like

25 vs 38, two very different places in life. It's great that you appreciate maturity & the great qualities that a mature woman can provide, but the age difference makes it difficult. Most younger men are looking for someone to start a family with and that is not something I'm looking for. The fact that you don't see age as a factor makes you a great guy, but a woman my age wouldn't want to limit your options. You may want kids someday & that's not something I desire.

I used dating sites off and on for five years, when it was fun and I had the time. Met a guy last year through OKCupid. We got engaged two weeks ago.

I don't know why people think that dating websites are potentially successful or unsuccessful methods for dating - they're just directories of people to help widen your "net." In the end it still depends on you and the other person. I met my boyfriend of two years on Tinder and it just happened to work out, but I would never say it worked because I met him on my phone.

Haha thanks PwC1. I'm really interested in giving it a shot, but just wanna make sure it's not a waste of time

I mean it depends on your preferences. What type of person that you are looking for, and the first look sometimes is important too. I have been there for a couple months now but haven't found one yet. In addition to that, I was so busy but people ask for sometime that has time for dating but my work hour is not flexible
