So...yeah. Started online dating recently. Very interesting, somewhat depressing. Gone on two dates, both girls have been nice and appeared as advertised.
Anyone done this? Care to share your tips and experience?

I did adult friendfinder many years ago... AMAZING! i met two crazy ass sex fiends :) ... Dirty alley sex, phone boxes and bars... The only place i think we never had sex was in a bed.
I had to bail as then met this German girl in a bar... Was with her for 4 years.

I met my wife on eHarmony and we have a baby on the way in november. It was the best $40 I've ever spent.
The only advise I would give is dont play any games, if you are on a service like eHarmony most likely you both are tired of the typical bs and just want to meet someone real.

OK cupid was pretty good. I met a ton of girls from there. And it's free.

Is that $40 per month or what are talking about here?

I did a bit of online dating 3 years ago. I met no-one that I could see a long-lasting relationship with. A few of the girls were perfectly nice but we didn't gel, but I had a few very awkward dates.
One in particular was really disappointing as we'd spoken online for a few weeks and she was really nice and we joked about and got on well, then in person she barely said a word the whole night. She warned me she gets nervous but she was vegetable quiet the whole evening.
"So you never told me what you do, do you work, student or what?"
"Student."
"Oh, what do you study?"
"Design"
"Excellent, I'm studying design too, did you see the Moholy-Nagy exhibit at the Tate?"
"No."It was weird, she'd seen my picture and she swooped in for the goodnight kiss but she just said nothing the whole fucking meal, and we were always chatting like crazy online.
I never did AFF but a friend of mine in the States uses it and has a crazy time.
My missus did Seeking Arrangement for a little while (while we were together, and we still are), which was interesting. She only met one guy from there as a friend and he paid her like £400 for a painting and offered to pay for her final years tuition, no strings attached. It's interesting that there are some people with loads of money who just want to give some to someone else and see a change in their life. She didn't accept but that was kind of neat.

- I let the others comment on this onedrgs
- look honey, this strange man gave me £400 for my painting! FFS. you sure about her?lambsy
- We're a pretty interesting couple. She's a dominatrix performer.orrinward2
- Friends of ours have used SeekingArrangement and people use it for financial submission.orrinward2
- Financial Submission is a fetish where one party relinquishes control of their money to another as an act of submission and worship. My missus didn't quite go that far but she did have a man offer to pay...orrinward2
- and worship. My missus didn't quite go that far but she did have a man offer to pay for her tuition, and he was aware that she was in a loving relationship.orrinward2
- she was in a loving relationship.
I didn't meet her online.orrinward2 - Also, that '3 years' is actually 4. I typoed. I met my girlfriend 3 and a half years ago and happiest I've ever been. It's a pretty wild adventure.orrinward2
- pretty wild adventure. If we ever break up I'm not sure how I'll find someone as exciting or caring.orrinward2
- i need one of those loaded types

I managed to find out on one date that I was actually going out with a prostitute who was just looking for an actual person to just date. When the date turned into more of an anthropological study I learned she didn't have any health insurance. Thank god I didn't wet my wick that night.
- HAHAHAHA... Awesome story! Close call bro!necromation
- WHAT? if she gave you the AIDS, you claim against her insurance?FallowDeer

my friends warned me never go on a date with a girl who doesn't have a full body shot in her profile. I ignored their advice as she'd listed her self as "slim", i thought even if she's lying, how bad could it be. "average", "a little curvy".....
put it this way... she be forever in my mind as 2 lunches Laura.

Don't pay for shit. OkCupid is as good or better than the pay sites. Secondly and most importantly, scrutinize the shit out of the photos.
I've found a disturbing trend of women posting up old ass pictures of full body shots mixed with newer face shots. If something seems fishy, it probably is. Also, no full body shots is a massive warning. Just keep going. Never trust the "body type" field.
Other than that, it's been pretty good. Better than expected to be honest.

My "Week Of Not Checking Into OK Cupid So I Don't Hook Up With Another Fat Chick" lasted four hours. On the plus side, she was the smallest one yet.

"we want more stories"
I went on 2 Online Dates in my life. Both were over ten years ago but here they are.
Date with girl #1. Saw her pic, talked on the phone, she seemed cool, liked decent music so we set up a date. She was pretty but was wearing an official winnie the pooh denim jacket and matching earings in a non ironic way. Had one drink and bolted.
Date with Girl #2. Met at a coffee shop and she was smoking hot. Went to her car and made out until she started crying and then asked me to go to her next class with her so she could show me off to her ex boyfriend. Needless to say I quickly bolted out of that situation too.
