I'm assuming most of my readers are married, but just in case... I wonder how many of you have ever used an online dating service? Maybe you're married and this is how you became so? lol I have a couple of friends who met their spouses this way. They were tired of being set up by friends, and a lot of them didn't really know how to meet people who shared common interests, beliefs, and who were looking for serious relationships... finding the right person who also happens to be single and looking to settle down can be hard!
I think there's something to be said for being paired up based on personality, religion, political affiliation, financial responsibility, and general common interest. Also... knowing that the someone you've been paired with might actually be in the same stage of life as you find yourself... ready for a commitment.... rather than recreational dating is priceless. Additionally, not all of us are party goers or social butterflies. I didn't meet my husband online, but it took me a long time to find someone because I didn't bar hop or even drink and given that I was at a secular University... well... it was hard finding a man who got that! lol
There are a lot of online dating sites... I've never tried any of them! lol So... I can't exactly speak from experience, but tonight a friend of mine from across the street went walking with me and said even her mom has recently registered with one! It's apparently just that popular that even a friend of mine has a mom who is looking for love online. lol If you're a lady looking for your soulmate... you might try Shop4Guys.com, which basically says it all. You can shop for a guy! lol Make sure he's the right guy... not just a guy. Be picky and be safe too... meaning, if you're meeting someone online... maybe double date with a friend.
Another site you might try is Meetlocals.com to see if you can find that compatible someone. If I weren't married, I would consider an online dating service. Especially if I felt like the service took into account all the major areas of compatibility... weeding out the definite NO's! lol I'm super picky... always have been, which is probably why I didn't have a whole lot of dates before I met my husband and why I didn't get married until I was 28! Picky is good though... right? lol

I've been married for 20 years, so I have definitely NOT tried a dating site. LOL! But, we do have friends who met through one. It turns out that her younger siblings were working at a store with him, but they didn't know each other. (DH & I actually knew both of them before they were matched, but we didn't know him well enough to think of matching them up.) It was a great match from the start. They were engaged about a year after being matched, got married 9 months later, and have been married for 15 months. :o)
On the other hand, her first attempt at a match (with a different matching site) did NOT work out. But, that just proves that it's worth trying again.
