I did call one guy who I was talking to on eharmony. It was really weird. Seeing someone's picture and the words is just not the same as meeting them or talking to them live.I tried signing up for another service called Chemistry.com and I'll let you know, but I'm really not thinking I will like it any better. It just has a stranger matching system. [I know they all match you with a stranger, I'm just saying the questions you have to answer to get on are strange ;-)]

I tried Internet dating before, and met a few women that way. But the ratio of men to women is so lopsided in women's favor that I found it discouraging, so I'm reluctant to try it again.
I always thought it was the other way around, but I looked online and your right. Looks like the odds are about 3 to 1.
I agree, it can be very weird to finally meet in person. And I also agree that there is no one like you.....that's good enough for you, I mean. :-) You just never know what's in store for you.....
I think sometimes when you meet someone in person, you wonder if they actually are the one who was writing to you ;-)
I just did a little more research and eharmony is the only on-line dating service that has more women than men. That is probably why I thought they all did.
I did it for a while...one thing I now think about it is that when you read someone's profile, exchange emails, and look at a photo or two, you form an opinion about a person, kind of the mind feels in all the blanks. But when you see each other in person, hear the way one speaks, sees non-verbal cues, etc. it's easy to sometimes think it's a totally diff person.
I know it's hard sometimes...

I know that we all have different communication styles. Some people can write well, but have trouble when it comes to speaking. I can be really shy sometimes.
Hi Moggy - since your life is a cartoon, maybe you need to start looking on the comics page in the newspaper!
;-)
Actually, my lovely niece met a Mr. Wonderful on eHarmony and they are now married and living happily ever after... I guess sometimes it works out.
Thanks for linking me, by the way.
Pam - very funny, although I do think that Dilbert is kind of cute and single(at least in the cartoon) ;-)
Dilbert is cute, yes, but his tie is very, um, rebellious? This couldn't bode well for your children...
Pam - that's okay I'm too old to have more children and I chose someone much worse than Dilbert to have a kid with when I was younger ;-/
I had no idea, Moggy. You look so young in your cartoon!
;-)
It's my inner child showing through ;-)
