I do like trends, but the gigantic watches are not for me. I'm afraid that the larger watches will go out of fashion in a couple of years. Meanwhile, I personally think small watches are always a classic piece. My style is more classic than bold trends.

Are you guys sure the 31mm will look okay in a few years? Do you think it's too large to wear in formal dressy events? I thought I'd originally go with the 28mm, but everyone seems to like the 31mm. Hmmm.... I wish I could purchase both.

That’s ok, I’m no sexist, most applies to potential men too ! What doesn’t apply to men, should be taken as advice of what men are looking for !




If I offended, then my apologies ............

if it takes the guy three dates to offer to pay, i think you wouldn't get to date three. I guess im modern in the fact if people want to split the bill OK i guess. However if you let her pay that looks terrible.

doesn't all work both ways

dating is still a weird world of double standards

I've come to the conclusion that, after quite a bit of experience in the field, if a woman offers to even split the bill - one should marry her

Like I said, what doesn’t apply to men, could be taken as advice.

I know! I was merely laughing at the fact that you mistakenly thought OP was male (friendly laugh, though)

But I do agree very much with a lot you've conveyed.

Once you leave college i agree its harder to meet people unless you date people at work and that never goes well and neither does meeting people at bars and such.

I am neither confirming or denying my wife and i met that way.

I’m very happy to confirm that I met my wife through online dating!

Still a stigma attached to serious online dating in the UK for some reason, and yet online ‘hookups’ seem to be totally acceptable!

An older friend in my neighborhood (widowed, retired) met her new husband through a dating website. I can't remember the year exactly, but IIRC they've been together 4 or 5 years now. :)

I did some online dating in my time. I enjoyed some aspects. Not so much in some aspects.

I do feel like it’s an easy way out.

It takes the sting of rejection and failure out. But that’s also what makes it exciting and gets the butterflies going.

My suggestion is to say hello, yes even just hello, to anyone you find intriguing. And if it turns into a conversation, well then, that’s a good start.

At the same time, sure, create a profile. But keep your options open. Nothing like real life.

[fkim011]

Totally for it.

Match. Eharm. Coffee Meets Bagel. All good results there!

these apps are more dangerous for women, though. Meet at a public place, get their cell number beforehand (and text them to verify the number's authenticity), and let someone know where you are and who you're meeting. I've heard horror stories that make me happy to be a man

Horror stories? Please share!

Anyways it worked great for me, did it about 10 years ago, met my future wife, we traveled together around the world, got married and now we have a wonderful 5 years old.

Wow congratulations! I have some hope in online dating lol.

That's great. I'm going to try it!

I think there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. You can filter through far more people than you would ever have the chance or time to interact with in person. It's a lot easier to pass on someone because of something you aren't compatible with when they clearly write it in their profile.
2. Passing on dozens if not hundreds of people can be a bit numbing.

I'm all for it. It's much easier to go on dates and meet people when they already have what you are looking for on paper. Assuming they are being honest of course. I used these online apps for over a year. Met a bunch of people. No nightmare experiences or crazy surprises. A bunch of them used very flattering/borderline misleading profile pictures, but that's about it. Took me a little over a year to meet the woman who would become my wife.

Like someone mentioned above, it's also important to know what service you are using. Some are for commitment, others are not.

Which ones are for commitment? I certainly will NOT be using Tinder. Lol. Do you find the paid sites are better?

That's great. I'm glad it's more accepted now. I was a bit embarrassed to be thinking about online dating. All of these responses have helped!

goodluck I met my wife on Match.com 18yrs later

Congrats!

[dkg1616]

My mom and stepdad met online. I think it’s a great way to meet people especially for older folks (30+) that aren’t into going out to bars, etc.

Finding your true love in the grocery store more often than not only happens in the movies. I met my soon to be fiancé in college.

[Cravings7]

Online dating is nice and easier.

Helps in the sense that the people online those sites or apps already have a common goal. They wanna date.

That takes out the part of what your intentions are cos they are on the table.

Next is compatibility.

Good luck though. Cheers

Lol I will be cautious of the MEN with crumb crunches or whatever that means. I'm very successful in field says my tax accountant lol. I think its men that tend to overinflate their careers. I've realized this in my dates. I'm very hardworking and will not date a lazy jobless guy.

I tend to offer to pay because I don't want men to expect anything if you know what I mean... I'm a pretty independent woman.

men over inflate their careers for sure. Women wear make up to over inflate their looks... Its a wash. you have to adjust for that going in

We have a winner, I believe!
My looks have never been an issue

This would be an interesting turn of events. We would require a "Together" wristshot at least if you guys go on a date.

we need to make it happen. If we can talk anyone into buying almost any watch we surely can convince someone to accept a date

[The Libertine]

I guess I’m “old school”. Met my wife at my first job after graduating from law school. I think there is something to be said for meeting, and getting the chance to know someone in the “real world” (whether at work, at a bar, restaurant, gym, grocery store - wherever) vs. on a dating app over the internet.
