Been single for too damn long. Thinking about finally biting the bullet, swallowing my pride, and resorting to online dating.

26 and never been in a relationship. Anyone had luck with online dating/suggestions on which websites are the best? I see advertisements all the time but cant tell which ones are scams

Are you tender enough for a relationship?

Good ole FB works. Find someone who looks interesting, and ask a mutual friend for an intro.

You a virgin, baw ?

POF will get you some IRL 5 pussy by the bushel. Depending on how weird and ugly you are, you may snag a 7.

Knock the bottom out of a few before you start looking to settle.

I "met"my fiance online dating, but we were already FB friends and known each other since middle school, it was more of a "hey you are on here, how is that working out, want to get a drink?" kind of thing.
But there were plenty of other dates from that site and honestly, frick the stigma. It was this site that told me about PoF years ago.

Then, in all seriousness, I'd probably go with a subscription site like eHarmony or match. There are free ones but you'll probably find those to be more serious, if I had to guess.

I've never used online dating sites, but I agree.

How socially awkward are you that you have never been in a serious relationship and you are 26???

That would be a major red flag to me personally if I was single and looking for a serious relationship.

I don't even get the stigma.

Go to bar and expose yourself to a few conversations at best, and very time and liver consuming, and limiting.

Go to church, a few more maybe, but limiting, and even more a question morally... going to church just to get a woman?

Seems much more productive to look at a list of females "looking".

One word of advice, especially to someone who hasn't been in a relationship before... DO NOT SETTLE. It's unlikely your first relationship will be "it".

Come back and talk after some success, if you want to call it that.

Never bothered with one so I can't make a recommendation for or against. It's one thing to meet someone in the course of your day to day life and find chemistry. But if you're basically going on a blind date, then you're going straight into a relationship and trying to make something happen. Seems like it would be the hard way.
