I have heard that ``Plentyoffish.com`` is a totally free dating site with over 1 million registered users. Has anyone had any experience with the site? Has anyone found the site not to their liking? Would appreciate your input. Thanks.

PLENTYOFFISH.COM:----I have heard that ``Plentyoffish.com`` has disinterested and unserious people on their sites because they are free. They don`t have to invest anything in it so they don`t value it. Any comments on this site? Anyone use it?

....The basic approach is simple...get out there and meet LOTS of people and let nature take its course. 1. Make acquaintances. Get to know people as people, not as potential partners. Relax! 2. You will see that some of these acquaintances will make good friends because you have things in common and are compatible and want to spend more time together. Not romantic or sexual, but just enjoying and sharing. 3. Not all friends become best friends or romantic partners. But when it happens, there is caring, compatibility, chemistry and a feeling of respect and trust because of the character of the other person. You'll feel you want to spend a great deal of time with this person. Good luck! ...don't rush it...

Q. Kinda blind date?
yeah, well i have a date on tuesday with this guy i met on plentyoffish.com. it's a free online dating site, so i figured "why not?" to be honest, i've never done this before. i've always at least seen the guy in person before going on a date with him, so this whole internet dating thing is kinda weird to me. but i'm trying to be open-minded. he and i started emailing for a spell, then we chatted on the phone a couple times before setting the date. he seems nice, but i'm not having any expectations. i guess my question is do any of you have any advice for this? what topics of conversation should i have up my sleeve for potential "awkward silences" (that's my main question, i guess). he and i are meeting somewhere, and it's in public (a restaurant), so it should be safe. but what do i do to ease the weirdness? thanks!

Talk about music, if you have different tastes in music then wing it. Pretend you like it! (sorry for that my friend's round) Try meditating!!!!!!! EAT COCO POPS!!!!!!!!!

Isn't this really a "singles and dating" question, having nothing to do with religion & spirituality?? I would suggest in order, 5, 1 and 4. With #5 you are not only meeting people, but helping others (if volunteering).

I did # 1 and 2 yrs ago. I like # 2 best. First stop thinking about this so much. Relax. It should be easy if it is not- it is not right event for you. Pick which ever setting you are most comfortable with and be yourself. I met my husband at speed dating years ago when it was in its infancy. At a coffehouse in a big city hosting the event. We actually never sat down with each other. It was too large a crowd so you never met everyone, but both noticied each other from across the room. He approached me at the end. I was waiting for my friend who was talking to someone. We chated for a few minutes. The concept was wearing name tags and given a chart to write name and mark yes or no interest. When the host went over them later, if Linda picked Jim and Jim picked Linda you were both contacted and given each others number to talk further. So nice. No bars, but a venue where you knew someone was single, available, looking, and sober. We wrote down each others name and here we are, family and all. My husband describes our meeting as he did not have to think. He knew I was attractive (still talks about that blouse -great at accenting my pretty eyes and hint of clevage Lol) Also I was so easy to talk to. There was no doubt he wanted my number but neither of us had to face the inperson rejection awkwardness of regular venue. I think it is a great way to get out there. Go with the flow. Don't have high expectations at first. Ages and personalities are varied there. I had gone to one before and was dating a guy casually from that previous session. Then my friend wanted to try it but did not want to go alone. I asked guy I was dating since we had not gotten too involved or had the exclusive talk would he be upset if I went to another event with my friend and if I would be out of line to mark any boxes if interested. He said no and I went. Rest is history. Sidenote: my husband was your age exactly when I met him. My friend I went with married a man who picked her too that night. So be careful no high expectations but if you are looking for casual relationships speed dating is often for the serious minded that cut through the b.s. of bars etc. good luck.
