ONLINE DATING!!!! The DO's, The DONT's and The DRAMA !!!!!!

We all live busy lives and may not have the time to meet someone in the "traditional" way! On the other hand, we may be bored or in a dating slump and decide to seek out ways to meet others. If online dating has ever crossed your mind then you are not alone. One out of five relationships begin on an online dating site. There are so many sites to choose from. Match.com, E Harmony, and even BlackPeopleMeet.com.  I am not ashamed to admit that I have tried a dating site before. More times than I would like to admit, LOL, and my experience has been........(sigh) just OK! Now, dont get me wrong, I have met some very interesting people online. Some of which I am still friends with, we just did not connect in a romantic way. Then we have the few I have had to "run forrest run" from and blocked them from getting back onto my page! I have yet to meet someone online, and we get that instant attraction and end up dating long term. People do lie, and they WILL hide behind their computer screens and be the perfect person for you UNTIL YOU MEET THEM!! LOL!!! So I want to know your thoughts on online dating. How were your experiences? Would you do it again? If you havent ever went on a date with someone you met on a dating website, then how about a blind date? I want to hear success stories as well as those that were a #FAIL!!!  I look forward to chatting with all of you!
I want to share a quick experience of my own......I met this guy via blackpeoplemeet. He was handsome. Beautiful smile.  Employed. Had his own place. Had a car. No kids. And single!! Right up my alley....I THOUGHT!!! Well after chatting online, we decided on a date. Before we were to meet I called and informed him my daughters open house took longer than expected and I would be running a few mins (15) late. Yes, I know. Not good to be late BUT BUT BUT , I informed him ahead of time and had already told him a few days prior I wasnt sure how long the open house would take.  Well I arrived, only 10 mins late. He STILL had a problem. And he had no problem letting me know that!!! Ok cool. We went out on a few more dates to eat and to a movie. EACH time he would be even more rude and so sarcastic about everything!!!! It was like he was 2 different people and I never knew which one I was going to get. He would be cool and laughing one min and rude and sarcastic the next!! I was blown away after he embarrased me in Ihop by raising his voice at me for no apparent reason!! He seemed irritated and I was #DONE!!!!!!! That was our last and final date! I blocked him and havent looked back. But that was just 1 of my crazy stories! Now I wanna hear yours!!!!...................
