Having tried it herself, she offers advice for those who want to stay in the "cyber-dating game" but ultimately believes that no matter what the staggering stats are, online dating doesn't efficiently meets the needs of today's partner-seeking singles.</p> <p>I can't say that I've found love online but I know many people that have. My theory is to each his own and if you give it a try and it works - then great! I mean, even in real life you usually have to kiss a few frogs (or date a few sketchy-stalkers) to find your prince, right?! What's your take? </p> http://www.geeksugar.com/1862852#comment Geek out online dating why I hate to date online MaryAnna Donovan Wed, 13 Aug 2008 07:24:44 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1862852
