 | so here's a question for all you hardcore net addicts. should i even arse myself with anything along the lines of
 "meet that special someone" net dating sites?
 
 i've just signed up for the (free - a definite bonus)
 campuskiss.com website - a fair bit of gals from my
 hometown, which is nice, and it's also how my friend met his
 g/f.  though i'm definitely a sort of "let life bring what
 it may" type and not too outward as far as effort.
 
 does anyone have any horror or success stories along these
 lines? is net dating even worth my time? or should i just
 continue to wank to porn?

 | well, you got balls. 
 I actually went on a blind date with a girl I met on a band
 mb, and she was nice, but not gf material for me
 personally.
 
 Go for it, just meet in a public place and see how it goes
 from there

 finding true love on the net : I think it's moer

 | I once met a girl off the internet.  We were meant to be going for a drink, we ended up in the toilets after 15
 minutes.  Then I left her about half an hour later because
 Liverpool where playing Fulham and she told me she was an
 Evertonian, right after she had taken advantage of me.  I
 felt so dirty and used.

| 
     
 
 | i guess the question is: how realistic is getting a date that way?  i've been warned that i might as well not bother,
 because most girls won't give you a chance in hell, since
 the net makes it all the more easy to pick from the cream of
 the crop (as if girls weren't picky enough to begin with).

 | hmm. i dunno about that.  us males are a dime a dozen to begin with, as far as most women are concerned, and the net
 just makes it easier for them to cherrypick from our lot.
 
 just because they're out for a date on the net doesn't
 necessarily mean they're desperate (unless they're of the
 fat & ugly variety. hehe!).
 
 by the way, you seem to be quite the laydeez man.  what's
 the best dating advice you could offer? fuck 'em & chuck
 'em?

 | i try to make girls laugh all the time, but i'm bad in the "putting the moves on" department - something about getting
 a slap-in-the face rejection, i reckon.
 
 and when i do try to put the moves on, they usually shriek
 away.
 
 so what's your adivce for "putting the moves on", then?

 | Don't worry about getting the knock back.  Besides you just have to manouver yourself into a good position.  Like with
 my current girlfriend I started messing about with her
 trying to grab the remote for the TV.  I got it then gave
 her it back after about 10 minutes.  Same thing happened
 about 5 more times and in the end she decided to put it down
 her top to stop me getting it.  I just dived in there and
 the rest it history :D
 
 Just use jokes to get comfortable and the rest will follow.

 | meeting people online also has the advantage of you knowing what their interests are straight off,.. which helps
 prevents problems later when you realise that she can't
 stand AFX, or any of your favourite movies. (which is always
 a cunty thing)

 | lol, no, another band. 
 In any event, I mean, if you meet by you both wanting to
 find a mate, then I don't think that will work.
 
 If you meet cuz you both like swimming, and have mutual
 interests, then might as well I say.
 
 try to meet real people first is my motto now though:D

 | I don't see anything desperate about it, 
 I go out, meet plenty of girls, but always end up dry when
 it comes to interests,.. I get along with them well, but my
 interests are specific, what I need is a "filter", I haven't
 ever dated someone form online, and I don't think I ever
 will, but I don't see any shame in it, I actually think it's
 a rather intelligent thing to do

 | I don't think there is anything wrong with it. People fall in love that way. It's just as reasonable as meeting a girl
 in the shops when you are buyin a loaf. i say go for it. And
 make sure they have a photo. Also have a backup plan in case
 it goes tits-up. :-)

 | Nay. Lets face it, you want a nice piece of ass man, instead of letting them play their jedi mind shit on you, wich will
 happen when you talk to much, go to a disco, be manly, be
 mysterious (how can you be mysterious? talk as little as
 possible! and when you talk, talk about them) and do it the
 old fashioned way. I considered net dating, but before i got
 to it, someone told me how to get the "flair". And hell,
 sample a 1000 and miss right will probably come some day.
 Thats my theory anyway. So basically, i would not reccomend
 it.
