Are matchmaking dating sites any good?

Perhaps Meet #3 will work out for us

I dont know if im really that desperate, but im bored and i have nothing to do and im deppressed.

One thing that most successful guys would probably recommend is that if you are in the condition you say you are, then you should try to fill whatever 'void' there is with your own activites, rather than the company of the opposite sex. It is very rare in my experience to have an unhappy man become happy after finding a girlfriend.

The man above me is a genius.

I think he is on to something. I am looking to get a girlfriend, but not to make me happy or fill a void. Don't stress it so much, just be willing to put yourself out there when the opportunities do arise.

This is great advice.

But if you do use a matchmaker site, make sure it's a classy, succsessful one, like the ones advertised on televison, not the trashy whore ones who bear the slogan: "Get laid in seven days or your money back!" It's fine to use a matchmaker site, don't be ashamed of going after what you want, just make sure you're on a good site.

...Don't smother people but do ask quesitons. Questions feed the ego. People, including girls, like taking about their life.

Apart from some people that doesn't like to talk much at all. So I'd advice that you stretch out your feelers before shooting of a barrage of questions...
something which my friend's friend failed to do before talking to my girlfriend last weekend.

There was an article in fhm this month about it, some of them are fairly good apparantly.
