my best friend found his (now pregnant) wife through plenty of fish, I think, and I have another friend that found her husband through okcupid. which is strange because I've heard they are both mostly hookup sites.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

Being free means higher levels of sketchy people who aren't as dedicated to finding a dating partner and more for sexing. And since they're often popular in urban areas with high hook-up culture that also tends to be true.
That being said, if you can filter past the crap, there's always gems in any population. Many of my friends are also engaged to people they met on OKCupid.
That being said (I'm totally Fiddler On The Roof), it was also a long-running joke with my other friend that every girl he met on OKCupid would stand him up on dates. For an entire summer. But that just might be exclusive to San Francisco girls.

Guys, I just wanted to say thanks again for all your advice; I will try to put it into effect as I continue on this journey of trying to find someone. Thank you for being such a supportive and helpful community!

First read-through of this I had the idea that you were gonna report on your progress with the dating...but see what you meant now.
Have nothing to add otherwise, so good luck with your endeavors.

that would actually be awesome, if you posted a spoiler thread on your online dating adventures

Well, I sent my first message just now. I guess that's a good thing. I'm not sure you really want to hear about all my travails, though ...
Thanks for the wishes, Molach.

Well, she responded to my first message, so I sent another. Waiting on a response to that one. For now I think I'll stick to one conversation at a time as I get my toes wet, then maybe branch out.
This is randomly turning into a reporting thread, isn't it?

Perhaps you should add SPOILER to the thread title in case by some miraculous coincidence she's a member of RB
