I was using Yahoo personals to meet new people b/c I travel with my job, I didnt really want anything more than friends or short term fun. I have had bad experiences with online dating, and had even signed off for a long time, but I decided to try it again. I knew well enough to know that some men were FOS, hell I was in a sense as well, I mean did I tell my story or try and get serious with someone I met online?....I NEVER thought so, but then I met a guy who truly is great and sincere and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. We are taking our time getting to know one another, we are both above 30yo, both have children, both have been in long time relationships, and both know the importance of taking it slow. I would reccomend treating online dating cautiously as you would anything else. I had a great experience, but it took a long time to find the right man. That happens in any type of dating though:)
