I hate it. feels like shopping for people. You really have no idea if you have any chemistry with anyone until you meet up so it leads to a lot of first dates that don't go anywhere.
also just tons of flaky people who will cancel last minute, and if the girl is at all attractive, you know you will be competing directly with a bunch of other guys.
I've had multiple instances of having a date lined up with someone who seems interesting, then that person tell me before the date "oh I've just met someone else and want to see where it goes."
I know some people who've had success with online dating, but for me its just been endless frustration and disappointment. A lot of the people I have met up with, seem just as burned out as I am on the whole scene and its hard to create a spark when both people are in that jaded/burned out state of mind.
so I decided to "take a break" at the start of this year, and its been awesome.
I think I'd much rather get to know someone outside of the pressure of a first date the first time you meet them, and see if there is any chemistry/connection before going down that road. I don't think I make the best first impression, and it often takes me a while to warm up to people as well, so I just don't think I'm well suited to online dating.
Sadly, Its tough to do that once you leave school. so at this point, feels like I'm just stuck being single, and thats honestly OK.
