I was just wondering if any of you TLnetizens have made an attempt at e-dating. I'm 18 in good athletic shape, don't smoke or do drugs, girls always tell me that I'm good looking n' such but I just can't find anyone in my day to day life and I'm considering giving it a shot. I'd really appreciate some advice/ past experience

Thanks
Kcaz

I've done it

+ Show Spoiler +

I've met a couple people, two of them are still my friends, and the other person I met was a really rich stuck up girl. I feel like there's a stigma that all the girls are fat and ugly. Although a LOT of them are, it is definitely possible to find attractive and interesting people.

My 2 cents.

Man, I don't think you need to resort to that at this age, especially if you're looking good. That being said, maybe you don't have too much to choose from (I'm in a nursing program right now and there are very few girls that I would be interested in, very upsetting). Idk, I think you're in no rush, but maybe a life change would help you out too, like getting a different job. Hey, but if you want to, go for it, I'd be curious to see the results for sure. The only problem I could see is that there would be few people in the late teens age on the site, because I always imagined it as late 20 and up.

I had some neighbours who met through online dating, they were married, and they had their cute first date story where the husband cut his head on some pullout bed and it sounded just like some commercial. They were probably in their mid to late 20s.
How's the weather down there?

I actively do online dating. It's fucking amazing. Heres my advice to you. The minimum age on most of these sites is 18 - i really wouldn't start it till you are like 20 minimum. As stupid as it sounds, the online dating scene is like - if you are younger than the girl, 5% chance of her replying (half the time they put a limiter so you cant even message them if you are younger depending on how hot they are) unless you are a baller....so you are limiting yourself to 18 year olds who are getting messaged by 22,23,24 year olds with jobs and higher baller status.

What you should do. Spend the next year absorbing every piece of information you can about it, then try. Don't expect any results at first. It took me about a year to get to a point where i can message girls and almost guarantee meeting them. You will fuck it up - a lot. Don't take it to heart, just try to learn what is wrong. Theres plenty of online dating resources - google them!

I don't know if this works as well for a guy, but what I would try is to hang around someplace and play some MMORPGs (preferably not WoW) and just practice there for now. It's a good way to build up your confidence online and it takes the tension away from like okay we're all on this site to date so let's get going now.

My parents never really let me out of the house much, so I hung around online a lot (I played Ragnarok Online on a private server) and had quite a few sketchy online relationships over the years. It's... an interesting experience. However I've definitely noticed myself go from like being weird and awkward to practically being able to pick up any guy online and it mostly carried over to real life. I find myself a very self-aware kind of person though, so if you're not finding any luck and don't really get why then maybe you should talk to some people and ask for advice. Online's kind of a nice way to cheat where you can just save chat logs and have people read them after and give you advice. =P

On a separate note, why can't you find anyone in your day to day life? If it is because no one around you share the same interests (ex. if you' really really enjoy a hobby or a subject) then I would just wait for college/university to find someone. Though you could still "practice" before then so you don't miss out/screw up with on the perfect chick when you find her. =)

Umm.. I hope that helps? I don't think I was very organized in my thoughts but if you want specific advice on things or want to hear some stories shoot me a PM. xD

My guess is that playing MMORPGs is not a great way to get girls :/

Maybe getting into ballet or something would be the male equivalent... TT

If you think playing MMORPGs is not a great way to get girls then you don't know how to get girls in MMORPGs. =P

Me and my friend (who I later met in real life because we go to the same university) had loads of fun online seducing people (not intentionally persay). For him, I think the whole playing the guitar on vent thing really helped, but he just had the right kind of "nice guy" personality to pull it off.

I assume high school because it's summer and most people would be 19 by the time they are done 1 year of university.

Personally, I think meeting a girl takes less time than "maintaining" a girl, but that's cuz girls are fussy creatures (and I'm allowed to make fun of them because I am one xD).

Define what you mean be e-dating... There's the thing Kennigit wrote about, and then there's the thing people fly across the ocean for.

He's taken! =O

But there's the answer to the thread: be exactly like Day[9]. Better yet, pretend you are Day[9] and date random TL users who don't know better

I met someone super special online, but it wasn't through a dating site. Try looking around communities and forums that strike your interests (besides TL) and make some friends. I haven't had any personal experience with dating sites, but I would think that two people meeting online for the specific of dating wouldn't end up in a very satisfying relationship.

Same here (ut we aren't together because she lives across the country tt). You have to move away from the video game ones really because it's impossible to find a girl due to the gender disparity. A music interest focused one is a good idea.

So now I finally found someone who I really liked talking to on okcupid (which I recommend to people because it's free and easy to get started and has a pretty cool community), she got real busy with end of school semester, we start talking again a month or two later, and now she's moving away in a month. FML.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man
