    Eharmony or Match.com?
    I am currently 20 years old and have not have a real girlfriend yet. Me and a neighbor girl used to fool around back in middle/high school but that's been about it for girl contact along with a few of her friends. We still hang out sometimes and I still kind of like her but it is just kind of awkward if I were to ask her out since we have been friends for so long... We have a lot in common and always have something to talk about when we are around each other... IDK it is just kind of weird.

    Anyway to the question...


    I am currently going to school part time and also run a landscaping business so I have little to be looking for a date/ girlfriend


    Any one of these sites better then another for any reason?

    Thanks a lot everybody!

    To me the only difference is that one you pay for and one you don't.

    I know people that have meet people on both and thereis good/bad on both sites.

    However, I must say that my uncle did find his wife on eharmony and gives them good reviews than any other dating site.

    It looks like you pay for both to me?

    Am I missing something?

    Hey man,

    If you wanted to come on here and ask about dating websites and you wound up talking about some girl your good friends with and your attracted to and have a lot in common with, I think you should be asking how to approach her to ask her out, just an idea.

    And if you want the answer to that, take a shot and talk to her about it, what do you have to lose? It's better to strike out then never get to the plate you know?

    And for the website... flip a coin.

    Yours Truly,
    LCM

    I've done both, and I'd recommend match. With eharmony, they only show you people you are a "match" for. I've known some people that the program told them there were no matches for. And even when I did it, I had to expand my geographical distance to the entire region to get many matches. I met a guy on there I liked, but he lived 8 hours away, so we never met. And you have to go through lots of kind of silly communication until you get can even email with the person. Many of the matches you get are also people who are no longer paying for the program, so they aren't going to contact you anyway.

    With match you have a better idea of what you're getting, though keep in mind that (in my experience), everyone is heavier than they say and they put up the best pic they have. I didn't find the love of my life on there (dated a depressed single father, an abusive pompous alcoholic, and a 35 year old virgin among others), but I did meet some interesting people, some of whom I kept as friends. And I know people who did marry people they met on there.

    I did notice that about eharmony about people not responding... through my free membership.

    Thanks so far guys
