When I meet women through friends at a party, there's a certain amount of built-in trust and respect that I don't see when dating online. I've met far more girlfriends at parties than any other way.<br /><br />btw - for some reason, there's more discussion on this post at my Dad's House intro to the post: http://dadshouseblog.com/2009/11/06/decade-of-divorced-dating/dadshousehttp://dadshouseblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-56368818595510701172009-11-06T13:28:03.094-07:002009-11-06T13:28:03.094-07:00Dating is still dating no matter how you meet — on...Dating is still dating no matter how you meet — online, in a bar, at a party, a blind date, etc. <br /><br />It comes down to two people knowing what they want (or, not) and deciding whether the person sitting across from you is someone you'd want to see again or not.<br /><br />There have always and<i> will always </i>be people you definitely don't to see again, like anyone who cares that much about what you do or how much you make. Bet you'll meet them again in 10 years ...Kat Wilderhttp://blogs.marinij.com/katwildernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-49456464733429017802009-11-06T10:57:36.013-07:002009-11-06T10:57:36.013-07:00I like how you break it down into various categori...I like how you break it down into various categories.<br /><br />I would not know what I would do if I was back in the dating scene. It's a shame that dating sites have such false information— what's the point in convenience if you have to sort through junk dates like you do your junk mail.Cajohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705931109877069830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-69344648751002398852009-11-06T09:23:15.083-07:002009-11-06T09:23:15.083-07:00I don't know David.

I recenlty tried online dating again and got pretty much the same results as I did 6-7 years ago. I got discouraged and cancelled my account. <br /><br />The differnce now is more with ME. I've become more discerning than I used to be as well as more aware/self-aware after a couple bad experiences. Live and learn, I guess. But I still find I'm kissing a lot of frogs on my quest to find a prince.MindyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103345017455083144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-40077732407846587432009-11-06T06:41:40.150-07:002009-11-06T06:41:40.150-07:00I think the economic aspect is a huge factor, and ...I think the <i>economic</i> aspect is a huge factor, and not just in your part of the country.
