Internet Dating (NRR)

I just got hipped to one of these internet dating sites. Anyway, I was browsing (no homo) and I came across an ad posted by a guy I used to go to school with. I've always thought these sites were for people who had no social skills whatsoever. Has anyone got any internet dating horror stories? Don't take this post the wrong way.

If I was still in the dating pool past age 30, I think I would look into it. Seems like a way to cut through a lot of crap
But hey, what do I know....I have not dated since 1998 or so.
that is all.
hell, had i not met my fiancee, I'm sure i would have gone this route at some point. look at how i ended up here to talk to you folls.
I hear he gets dates up the ass! Ha!

We are talking DATING sites, not puerno, right??
We are talking about Daze. Dating and puerno (and work and name-dropping) go hand in hand.

In Chicago you can't ride a bus, take a walk down the street, or take a piss in a public bathroom without getting "hipped to one of these internet dating sites."
On the "web", you can't do anything at all without "getting hipped" to an internet dating site, even if www.soulstrut.com is your homepage.
Point being, it's 200fucking6, these sites are bigger than Jesus, and nobody in the western world can feign ignorance to them.
I wish we could.
I don't live in Chicago. My point was I got directed to a particular site, it wasn't my first encounter with them.
This story comes from a friend of mine, let's call her Jennifer, and this guy she met through Friendster (before Friendster got crushed by MySpace). We'll call him Larry (I actually don't remember his name, one way or another).
So Jennifer and Larry meet via Friendster, they start swapping PMs, the vibe seems good. Over the course of two months, they upgrade to telephone calls and like many "relationships" that start out this way, you can ratchet up the intimacy level very quickly. By two months in, they feel like they're vibing off each other well and Larry - who lives in the Midwest - decides to visit Jennifer (who lives in Cali).
Jen has no real expectations here except that she expects to get laid. However, when Larry hits town, it's clear he's on some whole next level, "I think I'm in love with you" tip which, if not a little unsettling given the situation, is further compounded by the fact that he actually does not want to have sex with her because he feels like it'd start the relationship (in his private mind garden) off to a bad start.
So, basically, the first night they spend together (and of course, Larry is staying at Jen's place), Jen not only is not getting any but Larry, emo boy that he is, starts crying. Now, I think it's great that men are capable of crying and what not, but crying on what really is your first date just is so NAGL. This pretty much KILLS any sexual desire Jen has for Larry and given that she is not, in fact, "in love" with Larry, this pretty much negates any other purpose Larry would have for being out there. The only problem is: he's staying an additional two nights.
I can't remember if he ended up leaving early or not but Jen told me it was the longest weekend of her life. And not in a good way.

Well, I guess we now know about how things go down in YOUR personal dating life.
LOL, K is more emo than dub??? Say it ain't so!
[THEMACK]Larry you fukin wuss, you flew all the way out there and the girl lets you sleep over and you still gets no tush, dawg![/THEMACK]
Hah I know it's coming from a foll with 8700+ posts.
Glad I found a wife, and we just moved in together. No more visiting needed.
Meghan Daum wrote a great essay on internet dating (a guy she met via email) and that awkward first visit. In her collection, "My Misspent Youth."
anyone remember this?
was there an update?
