Ask them if they would rather you try to meet people at a bar! That is what I do. I think this is safer just my opinion

People often discount what they fear or don't understand! I read an article recently that you might want to site next time someone is critical of your choice to explore online dating. The way I see it 23.7 million people can't be wrong! "Currently there are 237,168,545 people in North America online. That's a whopping 70.9% of the entire population. It is estimated that 1 in 10 adults online are visiting dating websites and free personals. This means you have roughly 23.7 million people to choose from while you're venturing thru sites looking for matches."

This is a great way to talk to people you might not give the time of day to in your every day dealing with the crazy public life. I have talked to lots of people and really enjoyed my self, heck I have even met a few. You are grown do what feels right for you.

I told a couple family members that I'd joined an online dating site, which they said must be out of desperation. I don't know, it kind of made me feel ashamed! I was wondering if anyone has encountered similar remarks, and how they deal with it?! (also I need some reassurance!) Thanks so much~ Well... I started trying out all this online dating nonsense because of a certain amount of "desperation", if you can call it that- I wasn't gettin' any luck out there in the real world, and I thought doin' the online thing would be a little less messed-up. That, and several friends of mine had goat-roped me into this stuff.

Thanks so much~ Some people are afraid of new ideas, new ways of doing things.... I remember when my Uncle Kurt said that the 8-track would never catch on.... Hard to believe how short sighted people can be.

Dating websites and family don't mix well together.

my family just told me to be careful and they kindve in some ways thought i was crazy.. its not being desperate I went thru that too. When I first started dating, my Dad went the phone numbers of my dates. He's calmed down now. I had friends that had been dating online for awhile and I said, "No, way - never me." Well, here I am!! I don't do the bar scenes.
