I'm very curious, and wondering if it's just me. For those of us sisters whom are single, and/or actively dating, would you consider signing up with a dating service, and if you have what was your experience with an on-line dating service?
I'm very tired. And I hate to sound like a woman giving up. I live in Sacramento,CA, where inter-racial dating is in high numbers. I'm past the club scene, so I figured that I would try the on line thing to meet some brothers. Whoa. It's really, in my view no different than the club.
What are my sisters' views, opinions, etc?

It's possible
to meet someone online. I must admit once you get to the certain age the club scene is for recreation only...meaning nothing substantial will come from it lol. Online dating provides the opportunity for real interaction beyond the physical which can sometimes be hard to do. At any rate I offer suggestions when online dating...be very careful and use filters. It can be easy to not filter because you get more responses that way, but its the same in life...you don't want anything coming your way. Also demand several conversations through email mediums before moving to phone and beyond (of course let your own comfort level determine this) and of course always make sure you are safe when deciding to meet. I've had some doosies from online sites and others were absolutely delightful. Go for it hun! Good Luck
Time is too precious a currency to simply spend or waste; it must be invested.
Go 4 it!
I never met anyone on-line(married) but if I weren't I would do it.It doesn't really matter where u meet as long as u meet.Go 4 it,just be safe.Peace, Indigo
I met someone online also.
Hey gurl...
It is so funny to read your blog because it is my story to the T... I actually live in Sacramento and have been here for the past 5 years from San Jose (and can't wait to move). I actually experienced the club scene that I know you have seen and experienced. It's like you go to the club and your not being danced with when you know u lookin good, but all the "other" females are. And then you look around to see that ur not the only sistah not being danced with. I've actually seen it and tested it out just to see what was up. Before I met my boyfriend online, I went to clubs and was not getting asked to dance and if I was it was by other races. I knew it wasnt me because I could be out on the regular and get hollard at all the time. Then I went to a club where they play reggae music (Blue Lamp on Sunday nights), and there is always plenty of men from other countries at that club. And I was being danced with and brought drinks like I was one of the "other" females. Then there were the guys I met from out here that were not worth ah thing... So I started dating online. With my schedual being so busy (full time student and job) I had no time to deep search, question, and date. He is from Brooklyn and moved out here after we've talked for 6 months. I could honestly say we love each other... We click in so many ways and learned so many things about each other before we became physical. I believe this is what makes our relationship so strong because our bodies did not do the wanting before our minds and souls did. We have been through thick and thin and our relationship is going strong. Even though its only been a year since we've known of each others being on this earth, we just click lovely and work even lovelier. We are even planning on getting married when I finish school and having kids when we are ready. You never know what you could find and definately give it a try but of course be careful. I dated online off and on and just received messages for a while. Met a few hit and misses. So, not to say that its going to be an easy meet em' and love em', but it could definitely work and have fun...
Stay Beautiful Sis,

FLYGURL74 Thanks for your

Thanks for your advice....I'm really starting to get frustrated. I have met a lot of people online, but when it actually comes down to meeting in person, it's the pits, something comes up. You've lived in Sacramento, so you know what the deal is. I was starting to think that I was very unattractive, because I was simply not meeting anyone....lol...A lot of the individuals I'm meeting online, maybe their looking for a more sexual relationship, and that isnt what I want. I just want male friends to hang out with. I don't know. I may keep trying, but I'm really ready to give up!!!!
I met someone online
Greetings Sis,
I met my partner on My Space and our relationship is going on 3 years. The challenge wasn't meeting him online but maintaining the relationship. He's in the US and I'm in Canada, so there was lots of traveling back and forth. However, it was completely worth it.
I think once you try the online dating and feel him out you will know if you should progress further. For example, take a lot of time to interact online back and forth. Then once you are comfortable with him and sense that he's a good guy then maybe you can meet him in a public place with a friend.
By then you'll know for sure if you should go further or not.
I hope this helped.
Peace and Blessings,
Sa Mut Herr
