I can't find anywhere in her post that she was specificly looking for an online date.
In my experience they don't really come close to the real thing.

They are when they translate into real dates in real life.

Maybe i was a bit vague when i reffered to the word online dating.
What i meanth was dating via the met for the purpose of meeting someone in real life can be a good idea.
But online dating for the purpose of an online relationship, is something wich i wouldn't consider an ideal longterm situation.
They are two very different things in my opinion to be either just a means, or to be the actual ends.
I'd still advice the oldfashionate way if there is any chance of that succeeding.
If things work out online, they can still easily fail when you try it for real.

**checking the OP's gender**

juliekitty is right, try online dating.

ps: use a photo.


Yep, Vastly more males than females, so should be massively easier than trying to randomly find a date offline. Just restrict it to your area (otherwise you're unlikely to ever meet) and put a full profile - some detail on what you like, what you do, etc, leave as few bits blank as possible.

Well sure, they usually do.

It's a numbers game. For every ten or so I met, there was one with whom I even barely clicked.

Don't play the smarty, I was obviously meaning meeting guys throu online dating service, this is the main purpose of online dating services. What you are talking about is a cyber-relationship where a guy and girl 'dating' throu IM/emails but never met face-to-face ...and yes it's a fake relation ,not real at all.

So how did this turn out? Did metalwolf end with anyone? It's like reading a love story in the making without the ending. :P

There's an easy way, but it's probably not the way you want to try.

1. Look sexy.
2. Behave seductively.
3. Let men drool.
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

It is in the male nature to be instinctively strongly turned on by overt sexuality; basically you'd be shortcircuiting men's ability to think rationally. Attraction isn't really a matter of logic.
