And we have been married for just over 5 years! When hubby and I first connected online, horror stories were everywhere in the news and online dating was virtually free. The site we used no longer exists, but tons of others have taken its place. Even at that time, I was no stranger to the computer dating world, had used a variety of mediocre online matchmaking services as well as some that are more popular today like Yahoo Personals, and had gone on a few unimpressive dates. By the time my husband sent me that first message, I knew just by the length of his message that something was different this time. Not only were his spelling and grammar correct, but he also strung together several coherent sentences that gave me a glimpse into his life and personality. The rest is history!
Today, there are many more choices for online dating and it can be hard to know who to use. Most quality services are no longer free, so you want to be sure you're investing your money with a reputable company, and investing your time in a service that cares about the same things you do. One site claims to be able to help you do just that by comparing the most popular online dating and matchmaking services for you. No matter what service you use, the quality of the match you make is ultimately up to you, just as in offline dating.

Online Dating Worked for Me!

My DH and I met on www.Catholicmatch.com which then was www.straphaels.net :) We've been married 3 years now! I know probably about 5 other couples that met and married from that site, too. And my BIL is on there currently and just met someone and they are dating. I always recommend to people to go with the niche sites that you'll know you'll have at least something in common with someone from it (in our case, our catholicism!) and go from there. IMO, Alot of the big dating sites like match.com can be intimidating and downright degrading depending on how you view marriage and dating. The other thing with online dating is always meet in a public place/with a group and have a few back up people you can call if you need them. Better be safe than sorry! (I met some really STRANGE people online before I met my DH... but that's a whole 'nother post!)
