It's ok to be skeptical Kellie...but give it a go on match.com! The key is only doing what's comfortable to you. If you don't want to respond to guys, than forget them! I also met my husband on match over 2 years ago...we got married in May and are loving life!
Have fun!

>>Kelli,

>>In regards to the whole Match.com entry, several
>>things to comment on. You don't have to be interested
>>in any of them - if you don't see someone that you
>>like, don't respond. I know I wouldn't want some guy
>>to reply to me, and then later find out that he only
>>did because he wanted to just reply to someone. And,
>>don't respond to someone if you aren't interested,
>>even if it's just to say you aren't interested. A lot
>>of guys will take it as a sign that you ARE
>>interested, even though your words might say you
>>aren't. And people who respond who live 5 states
>>away? I would ignore them - match.com is supposed to
>>facilitate the dating process and make things easier,
>>not get you into an impossible long-distance
>>relationship.

>>On a positive note (not my strong suit), I actually
>>met my husband on match.com a couple of years ago.
>>This was before you had to be "accepted" or whatever
>>it is. When I first signed up, I was so embarrassed
>>and felt like this was a true sign of me being a
>>failure b/c I couldn't get a good date the real way.
>>I was a single mom (divorced) with a 6 year old then,
>>and was really frustrated with dating - most guys you
>>meet in bars/clubs just want to get laid, and it's
>>hard to date friends of friends because it doesn't
>>work out and you have to see them again, and scoping
>>out guys at church is just wrong. But match.com
>>wasn't so bad, and not everyone on there is a loser or
>>a serial killer, most just want to find someone, and
>>find that conventional dating methods aren't working
>>for them. So to end my rambling, good luck and don't
>>respond to anyone unless you think you'd really go on
>>a date with them!
