Just wow. I hate them but feel the need to check them constantly. Yes I'm seeing what's out there. I never expected to HAVE to but as you all know I do. Any experienced daters have any suggestions as to what's the best way to do this dating thing? lol.
Do you think you're gonna find a lot of dates while you're still married and in the situation your still in??? You got a lot of other ducks you need to line up before you sign up on dating sites...especially since you still want your wife back!
I checked them out before....but never got really serious about using that as a method of dating. I do occasionally browse to see whats "out there" though. You never know when that "one" might cross your path.
Like anything else, I've heard good and bad stories about people's experiences dating using this method.
Per stories/ accounts that I've heard about... the older people, 45-50+ that are searching for similar aged mates have better results than the younger on it. Probably a maturity thing.
they are interesting but many of the people are super flakey.
In your situation, definitely use Tinder.

Or ashleymadison....isn't that the one for married people?
I use ebay. Highest bidder wins.

I was going to suggest that one. I like how you pretend you aren't sure what it is.

hb: Not tonight, JW, I have a headache.
JW: But you were just fine earlier. You didn't mention anything about a headache. How long have you been getting sudden headaches like this? That could be a sign of a serious neurological disorder or maybe an impending stroke. You should see a doctor soon...

I didn't...it's what popped up at the top of the page when I googled what the heck Tinder was!!
Why do YOU know what it is!! :whistling:

Best advice that I can give you. Get off the internet, go out and actually meet people.

Meeting strangers on the internet is only slightly more risky than meeting them in person, as long as you eventually meet them before making any type of commitment.
Personally, I can't stand bars and don't attend church. The few trustworthy friends I have are married and mainly associate with married couples. I live in a very rural area. It's worked for me, to a degree.
I'm not promoting seclusion or marathon internet sessions, just common sense. My only concern for BigJag57 is that he is searching now, just while he's getting used to a very different set of circumstances.
Yeah, same for me...this thread was the first time I've ever heard of the "Tinder" site.

I never said to go to church or to bars. Quite frankly, that's probably not the best way to go out and meet people. My advice and idea is to go out and do things that you enjoy or find interesting. Perhaps take a walk along the riverwalk here in Jagsonville. Perhaps go to a museum. Perhaps go out and socialize with people in other places such as shopping malls.
The key thing is to go out and interact with people. While yes, some people have been successful in finding a partner via social media and/or dating sites, I personally can't believe that this is the only means for people to meet and get together.
I don't know the specifics of BigJag57's situation, and I really don't want to know. It seems to me that it's probably a personal issue best left off of a public message board.

Go read the "friends" thread... You'll know everything! :yes:

God I don't know which is worse. The drama or the "female dog"ing.
I would think that a man that is 40+ would know how to socialize without today's media.

Ok, let's just let this cat out of the bag ( another JW reference?)
That's how I know your real name is Sharon Cox. And you know my real name Mr Bean.
Speaking from REAL experience. I met my current Fiancee on Match.com 2 1/2 years ago. We had both dated others off Match and while it was fun to get out there again after 21 years of marriage, I would have never found my love without Match. We just did not run in the same circles. So yes, it does work. Some are on there just to have fun, some are more serious about finding someone special.
I know I did, she just bought me a 70" TV today

It is possible to look for dates on the internet and go out in public and interact with people. The difference is everyone you meet on an internet dating site is there for generally the same reason you are.
