A friend is considering using a dating site instead of waiting for "Mr. Right" to just stumble into her life.

Are some sites better than others? What should you watch out for when you join a dating site?

There are many dating sites which offers quality services. However you must analyze the dating site for its reputation and paste performance before joining them.

Further remain anonymous to your date as long as you decide.

Finding someone on dating is the most convenient for me since I don't have time to pub around. I think one should be cautious on dating sites where there are a lot of members from third world countries since most of these people just beg you for money.

I hadn't considered this. I suppose there are dating sites that cater to certain countries, though.

The international nature of the internet sure has changed things!

My beloved stepmother had this same problem. She, a Baltimore City, MD native, found a man in Nepal that she fell in love with...and he turned out to be a scam, he only used her to get him and HIS WIFE (in Kathmandu that she did not know about) a Green Card.

I have dated a woman I met on the internet, and she turned out to be a liar and a fraud too.

I personally don't date anymore online. I have to know you in person before I would consider a relationship.

I think online dating is a good IDEA, but far too many people take that idea and ruin it.

I am very sorry you had that experience; but you have to be careful who you let into your life. There are still good people out there that are looking for companionship.
