The Dating Sites

I am a member of several sites. To name a few:

• Plenty of Fish
• Zoosk
• Meet Me
• eHarmony
• Match

The most hits I have received are from Zoosk and Plenty of Fish. Zoosk, you only get one chance to read and respond to a message unless you want to pay to be a member. I tried a 3 mo subscription. Once I paid, the responses mostly stopped. So I decided to save my money.

Plenty of Fish is nice and I have had some decent responses. This led to me meeting with Richard (I will refer to him as Dick) in December 2012. We will discuss him on the next post.

Back on subject, I have not yet been asked for me to sign up in order to be able to answer or read posts on PoF; however, if you upgrade it states you will be more available to be viewed by members and it increases your chances of meeting someone.

I am considering a 3 mo subscription to eHarmony just to see what comes of it. Right now they are running a special of only 9.95 a mo if you pay for 3 mo. It is a tough decision because the money can be used elsewhere.

My "fake" filter has become very fine tuned based on cues provided by the "man". If the person cannot spell a simple word a red flag will go off. Other commonalities are "I'm away on business in South Africa" "I am considering moving to Utah from England" and sadly, even the "I'm currently deployed" has come up a couple times.

It is always better to be safe than sorry in my mind and I am beginning to think that although it is great to protect me from people who want to use me for fraudulent means it is also keeping me from becoming a girlfriend thanks to the protective wall I have built.

Well, that is just some information on the dating sites I have frequented. I will discuss some of the men I have encountered on the next post!

Have a great day and remember, no matter what size we are, we ARE worthy of love and respect! In the words of my childhood friend "Life: Bring it!"
