Anyway, sister got a phone call from his girlfriend/wife! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating/page/2#post-1477967 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:48:04 +0000 BSB 1477967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I had a 9 month break and so I had a date from someone I met on Myspace. Luckily, they weren't a creep and things didn't click, so that was the last I saw of him.</p> <p>If I had to date again, I would probably use an online site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating/page/2#post-1477939 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:38:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1477939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I was only 19! The only reason I set up a profile though was because I had just moved to a brand new area and didn't know anyone!

It just wasn't my thing! </p> <p>I have one friend that went on a couple dates from it but all were eh, with some creeps too. On the other hand, I also have a friend who met her DH online &amp; they have a 2 year old by now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1477803 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:08:45 +0000 IRunForFun 1477803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: So, funnily enough, one of the reasons I decided to try online dating was to gather some crazy stories and write a blog about it, and maybe someday a book. Well, I went and fell in love with the first guy I met online soooo...there went my blog!! Hahaha. It was worth it, though. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1477783 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:05:33 +0000 pui 1477783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, but I know lots of people who are married now after meeting online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1477767 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:02:36 +0000 MrsH 1477767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, that is where I met DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1477350 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 08:00:03 +0000 krispi 1477350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I tried it a lot actually. When I found myself divorced at 26 with most of my friends settled down, it seemed like a good option. I tried Match for a while (back when it was free). I met several nice guys, but none of them clicked. After a short relationship with someone I met offline, I decided to try eHarmony. I met my ex-boyfriend there who I dated for 4 years.</p> <p>After that relationship ended due to his commitment issues, I decided to give it another try. The last time around, I met my husband on eHarmony. Interestingly, we had met in person 10 years prior but didn't really notice each other because we weren't looking at the time. Obviously, the second time we met things worked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1477340 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 07:56:01 +0000 Smurfette 1477340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Nothing ever worked out but it was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1477243 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 06:27:39 +0000 Andrea 1477243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476941 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 23:00:52 +0000 yin 1476941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I met DH when I was 18. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476940 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 23:00:46 +0000 stratosphere 1476940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 24 (11+ years ago) I joined Match just to email my DH. We have been together crazy in love ever since, lived and traveled around the world together and now are expecting our first child. So it definitely worked for me!!!</p> <p>As much as he is my soul mate, we never would have met without Match, and I'm so grateful we found each other. At our wedding we both thanked the folks who were the indirect reasons we both even checked it out (his former roommate and my friend whose awesome brother had met his fiancé on Match and inspired me to do the free search in which I found my husband!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476927 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:56:26 +0000 coopsmama 1476927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I met at age 20 so I didn't have the opportunity to even think about online dating but I think I would have been intrigued by the thought if I were still single! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476913 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:49:41 +0000 travelingnanny 1476913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently online dating. My bosses and friends always get a good laugh at my bad date stories. I should write a book about them but I swear people would accuse me of lying they are so crazy. I actually am in the process of setting up a date for this weekend. Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476819 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:16:11 +0000 dolphin 1476819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476765 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:02:37 +0000 yerpie110 1476765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, been with DH since age 19. But, I definitely would have tried it! Lots of my friends have, and a few have married someone they met online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476728 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:52:11 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1476728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried it for a month. Didn't meet anyone I liked and it made me feel nervous so I stopped. My sister met her sweet handsome husband on Match and so have a slew of my friends. Dating is so hard that I'm glad it's out there. For some reason I met everyone I ever seriously dated at bars in NYC. One was my husband!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-try-online-dating#post-1476721 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:50:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 1476721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Yeah, he was pretty funny! I was still in love with D, though, and my heart wasn't into moving on (and rightly so ;) )</p> <p>And I totally laugh when thinking back on it now! </p>
