Hello Everyone! I've been running an online dating site for several years now. I get an average of 60+ visitors a day and 10 subscribers a week. Well, it just tells me that many are looking for my services and are coming back for more. Are you benefited by an online dating site? ___________________________________________________ Karinna Kittles-Karsten Love Educator and International Relationship Expert sacredlove.com

I'm a little leery of online dating sites. I have heard lots of negative things about them like not being able to find good matches, and also that a lot of people are not truthful in regards to details about themselves. I worry about personal safety too.

Hey Karinna

I tried dating sites for about 6 months and met all kinds of people but nobody I really clicked with very well. I tried match, eharmony, perfect match and cupid. I liked cupid the best and found my boyfriend of 6 years now on cupid.

Finding love online is pretty common these days. I think you just have to know what you want and not settle for less than that. My boyfriend is the most amazing guy ever and best of all he loves my son as much as he loves me.

Hi Karinna

I met my husband online but it was a one in a million chance. We'd both tried several dating sites (him in USA, me in UK) and not had any success, then we both happened to find a site (we can't remember its name now) that had international ads. I'd had it with English men by that time, and my husband mentioned in his ad that he loved the English accent, so I got in touch.

We took our time before deciding to get married; there were several transatlantic visits. We feel very lucky that we found each other - the odds really were against it.

A friend of mine tried eHarmony. She didn't exactly find her prince charming husband there, but she did end up in a long-term relationship that lasted about 2.5 years. I think with online dating, just like traditional dating, it's all a matter of chance...

Thank you very much for your replies. Your experiences with online dating sites are testimonies that online dating can be successful. I guess there are other single men and women who are currently into a relationship with the help of online dating sites. _______________________ Karinna Kittles-Karsten Love Educator and International Relationship Expert sacredlove.com

Hi Karinna, I was only on a few dating sites for only a few months before I found my match. I believe that God had a lot to do with us meeting. My boyfriend had sent me a message and we were both Christian and looking for a loving, Godly relationship. We met 10 1/2 mos. ago and are in love and have talked of marriage. We met on Match.com. After leaving an abusive relationship almost 2 yrs ago, my man is an answer to prayer!
