I hear of so many success stories...how can u make someone see that yes we r meant to be....can somone help me on this one...I look at his profile...and my profile...and it is a perfect match...like a to good to be true match....

It is great to see a sucess story like that and to the person who sees perfect matches but cannot connect I can only say they are not so perfect. One thng I heard recently from Dr Phil is that 1/3 of all people on line are married. That is a shame for genuine singles looking for love. If he/she does not reply to your email or icebreakers- move on. Ask yourself this question, "Am I being totally honest about my profile?" if the answer is "No" then you can bet that others out there are not being honest either. Good Luck

I hope one day I can find what you have found. I feel akward having to leave a guy a message waiting to see if he will respond. My friend tells me to be patient and to hang in there. Meeting people seems so hard now.

I am starting to think that most men on this site are game players, dishonest and play sick games that can crush a woman's heart. All I have to say about this site is that it is filled with men looking for adventures, with different women and online is a good medium for them. They look at your profile, see what you like and play with your emotions. When you think you're hooked, or found your match, you just got played! For me that's cruel and carma as a way of dealing with people tricks others. So ladies be careful.

I BELIEVE IT COMPLETLY... MY DAUGHTER AND MY NEW SON INLAW FOUND EACHOTHER ON YAHOO PERSONALS AND THEY ARE VERY HAPPY.... BEST WISHES ON A LIFE FULL OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS...LOVE IS HARD TO FIND SO WHEN IT COMES HOLD ON TO IT DEARLY...

This couple seems awfully young. I hope and pray you both truly have a life-long love affair.

I am happy for this young adorable couple but I truly believe that women who are older are having a tougher time. Maybe men in this age group (mid 40's-50) are having a tough time too because they feel women are too picky. I am a very sensitive person and have been hurt by the type of men I have met on this site and I am sure there are men out there who feel the same way. It seems hard to find the right one and to find someone who wants one long-term relationship. There are so many players on this site. I try not to lose heart cause I feel I have a lot to offer the right man. Good luck to everyone on this site!

I've been dating for 2 years now, and couldn't find any one that I connected with truely, and that it also lasted. Recently, I found someone through another famous site that claims to match you up on 29 diferent paremeteres, and guess what: I found someone from the same profession, actually competing company to mine, and though we had a rough start, we are inlove now, and it looks quite promissing. and yes: I too was one of these men that wouldn't commit, until I found someone that is compatible to me and worth leaving everything else behind and strive to make it work. Good luck guys.

I will be 40 years old next March and I have been a personals member since last summer. I have had many successful dates, if you call meeting someone who you like hanging out with. However, there was always something missing. I live in a very small town which makes meeting someone even more difficult. Recently I met John. He lives in my hometown and we could have easily met in the grocery store or something. It took Yahoo Personals for us to find each other. I was as detailed as possible in my profile, but in my mind, I was even pickier. I had made a detailed list of things I was looking for in a mate. And I found him! We still keep finding things we have in common and finish each others sentences. Hold out for the best you deserve. He IS out there!

You both look absolutely gorgeous! I am new to the Olympia,WA area and am a single parent. I have been on the site for about 2 months now and have started going out for dinners, lattes and Jamba Juices. I have not dated much over the past 14 years. It is very simple to weed out the strange men and I feel Yahoo Personals has good intentions and has many ways to protect it's customers. I have had an overwhelming response on this site and even reconnected with a gentleman I met nearly 5 years ago. We both wished we had exchanged phone numbers and felt maybe we lost each other for good. We are planning to meet up soon and see if there is a spark. If not, at least we will be good friends and be able to enjoy each other's company! Good luck to all!
