Worked for me, was on and off for 3 years though and didn't spend every waking moment on it. But the few times a week I'd use it I'd actually put effort in. Came across all sorts of people, some good, some bad, handful of dates, a few to and fros that fizzled out, exchanged numbers and fizzled out etc etc.
In my opinion I find it ridiculous when people only want someone within like 5-10 miles..what is 5-10 miles? Can someone explain? I have a girlfriend now so it's of no consequence to me now but still.
Those who say they have no car and won't date anyone outside their town..um okay?
I get no one wants to do long distance but surely if someone is promising and they are within like 1 hour away that's not exactly disgusting.
My girlfriend told me she was slightly worried about the distance but realised I wasn't that far and we were getting on well so gave it a chance. She said someone lived closer and she rejected them (months before we spoke) because of distance..
It takes just under 2 hours on the train one way and even though our schedules can clash we just make it work and see each other at least twice per week and 95% of the time spend time at each others houses so it's no issue. If you are serious about a relationship and find someone you click with who is also just as serious it's a nice thing
