Lisa wrote: I met a guy on Yahoo personals who seemed like a great guy, though he did use the line about joining up and paying the fee "just to meet me". (When will people learn to stop saying that? It sounds like the worst kind of line - even if it is completely true!) He was funny and smart and cute, but apparently had one major flaw: not enough attention to details. Either that, or he was a total player, but I'm trying to be kind.

Mighty wrote: I got an email on MatchMaker from a girl who gave me her phone number. After a couple of tries I got ahold of her and we had a pretty good first conversation. Lasted about half an hour, I think. She asked me if I wanted to take her out the following weekend.

Renee wrote: I visit a chat room on a daily basis just to visit with a few people I have met during my visits-I have a boyfriend. I met a guy named Joe and he asked for my e-mail address. I didn 't want to give it to him at first, but reluctantly I ended up giving it to him. He e-mailed a few times and I would reply, not wanting to seem like a complete bitch and thinking he wanted the same thing I did-to be JUST FRIENDS!

Gail wrote: I had an ad on Yahoo, which I have since deleted. The ads haven't worked for me at all, for the main part, although I have met one or two nice people for friends, but that's it. Anyway, I got not one, but TWO responses from someone that were obviously a cut and paste. I sent him an e-card from "Way Too Personal" and this was his response.... he does everything but tell me to beat him and whip him:

Never Again wrote: I met a stone nut! All the signs were right there, but I somehow gave him the benefit of a doubt. I met him on a internet dating service. I replied to him, and asked him if he were a crazy man, to place an ad. He went on to say that there was no kind of social activity in a strict Islamic country. But he had the audacity to say that women wore miniskirts where he live which is a lie from the pits of hell!

Alison wrote: I have a profile on 3 internet dating sites...and seriously, I rarely respond to a single man...on and off(clearly with no complete success) I have dated a few men (only 2 for about 2 months). Well on MatchMaker.com (before their site changed) there was an annoying "wink" system...where men (and women) could simply send a wink without an email...I would occassionally notice a new wink added to my profile and check to see if ANYONE interesting would appear. To my surprise, about 3 months ago...a sweet man from England "winked" me...and we had so much in common so I emailed him...and we hit it off and a correspondence grew... While he is from England, he stated "he loved NYC and is looking for a a New York woman who likes the theatre" (me for one) and that he would be visiting NYC soon.
