National figures project that - only 20% of couples meet on line. This figure includes all the dating websites combined. Statistically speaking, there is a very low percentage of people on this site actually becoming couples.

I've heard that the numbers are even lower and most people do not succeed in marrying someone they met online. However, it's hard to say because many people lie about where they met someone if it was online.

I believe ppl can find their soulmate from DH if you look long enough. I did mine, and he was searching for the same things I was in a relationship. I am very fortunate to have found him. It took me 4yrs but I was patient and perservered and not lowering my standards for just anyone. This guy is special already and Ive known him a week. I am content and complete now. Tenngirl

I'm still coupled with the guy that found me on here. Neither of us was looking for "the one" though. I feel that's an antiquated notion that will be held my a very small minority soon enough.

So it worked for me... Tried two sites, first relationship lasted four months it was a lot of fun we just fell in love more as friends after a long while haha so it was a mutual understandable breakup. We're still good friends the second well don't know if it's gonna actually go anywhere I'd like it to however both times if I talked about them to friends I lied about where we met. So in their minds this is not a success online dating story haha. Idk I'm just tired of trying it my own way if I just go out as myself in confidence to have adventure I meet so many cool people all the same... =D it's gives me so more speaking skills anyway haha

Well, you have to look at it through statistics, statistically speaking the people who do find someone on here are a small percentage and some people will find someone here, because it is a medium for meeting people, it is bound to happen. However, the reason we here so many success stories is because they find success then get really loud about it and tell everyone it works. Of course it will work for some of you...

Didn't meet my guy on datehookup, but anything is possible. I met him on one of the pay sites. I would stop paying and then start back and repeat. So after the third cycle of paying here and paying there, he contacted me and things have been going quite well ever since, of course with a few bumps along the way. We started chatting in December 2009 and now, it's almost two years later. He's my best friend and I love him dearly. I was on three free sites and three pay sites, off and on, for several years. It took a long time, but my wait is over. Good luck to everyone!

Yeah too many freaks. I just started giving this a try and so far every girl I've talked to has some deep issues, and the ones that I approach are not interested I guess. I'm keeping my profile open to see what happens, but my hopes aren't very high... Oh and to the lady doing all that racial stereotyping: F U!! You go for stereotypes, that's what you get. I'm glad too, you don't seem like you deserve much. I'm Hispanic, went to university, work in city hall, play piano, guitar, drums, speak 3 languages and have a 49-13 boxing record. What have YOU done to deserve someone to share their hardwork with you?

There are many strange ways to meet the person that you would have never otherwise found. I found a very nice guy who ended up living only a few miles from me. And I also met someone else on another site in 2000 that was a disaster story but too bad no one told me till after I married the idiot. Now its just a way to make friends and you take it where it needs to go

Doesn't matter if it's a free or a pay site, people are people. Met a crazy here on DH, then went to the paid site and his picture appeared as a "one to one match" notification!!!!  I hurried and deleted him without looking at his profile I DO believe the success stories I've read because I know four couples that met, then got married, thanks to the internet!

At the time they write them, I'm sure they think it's a success story. Sometimes it may turn out not to be, but for the moment, yes I believe that they believe. No one can see the future.

The success stories are the people that don't leave quietly. They want everyone to know that they found their true love. And I have to admit, I've met a couple great guys through this site and ones like it, so I can definitely see how it would work for some people. (I've also met some creeps so i can sympathize on that end too) . There are plenty of people that this doesnt work for, but i think most of them just delete their accounts and are dont with it, they aren't so loud about their stories the way that the people who this did work for are.

I don't believe it in the slightest bit. 1st reason, the women on this site that I have came across are picky in the race that they want to date in the first place. 2nd reason is even if you are the correct race, there is a very slim chance that you will get a reply. 3rd reason is that in my personal experience, I have met no one from this site, and have had better luck meeting people in other ways. I hold on to this profile strictly for the forums because the forums are interesting. 4th reason is because I run into a lot of women on this site that are superficial, and have a preconceived notion that every single man wants them for their body and sex instead of one that is serious in starting dating/a relationship with that female. And can't blame it on anyone except the random guys that email them saying how much sex they want to have with them at that point, which completely ruins it for every other guy that is actually willing to know who this person is, and whether or not that person is dating material.
Personally, I don't even bother sending emails anymore from this website because of the experience. So instead, I am on the forums, because I get better responses from other websites, and those sites don't have forums, so this is how I can get the best of both worlds. And as far as the race thing, check out this link: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-race-affects-whether-people-write-you-back/. Granted this is information from Ok Cupid, but as you read along the information, you find that it gets true among more and more websites. I really hate to play the race card, I really do, but when I see preferred races on people's website, I really think that people still have closed minds about relationships that are interracial, or even same race relationships.

I thought I had. Spent almost a whole month together. He was special. He traveled for his work after that but we talked almost every night and then just recently he just stopped talking to me. I have seenhim online but he wont talk to me. I met him here. I even left the site after we started out and was really happy but all he did was break my heart and I hope that others have better luck, heck I pray someday someone will be the "one." But lately all the guys I've met on here just have hurt me. I pray that someone that is a true gentleman will find me and love me and not hurt me.

I can't for the life of me understand how you joined DH in Oct 2011 and since then have met guys here and gone out with someone for almost a month. Is the 2011 a typo? Anyway, I'm sorry for your experiences here. There are other sites for you that maybe you'd find someone or just be more happy with. Don't get stuck with just this and there are other places and ways to meet someone like meet ups, church, family, friends, work. Pray that God will put a good man in your life that will love and cherish you.

All of these answers seem either too negative to me, with only one positive...I wish these answers just had a tad bit more flexibility.
I believe the success stories here, but I think people are too busy looking at the longer term possibilities of possible successes. Finding the love of ones life only to have it end 2 weeks to 20 years later is always a possibility, whether it's on or offline. It sucks major ass, but it's true. There are too many instances IRL and online that people think they've found the one, it's all peaches and cream, then the cream goes sour. Just another reason as well why marriage is a failed experiment. It also has majorly to do with people just not caring enough about changing themselves or making exceptions for the benefit of someone else..especially that last part. And the biggest thing for me I've noticed, that's somewhat the basis for ALL of said problems: Ignorance.

I was on singlesnet and met a couple of interesting females but they both turned out to be quite different and not for me...I stayed on there for several months with no hope of finding my last true love...I was completely over the date site and was pulling my profile off, as I did I typed in my search for "Free Date Site In Pine County MN" I looked thru and found DH...I signed up, talked to a few ladies but nothing serious...I put in a search for 43-53 white-75 mile...I started going thru the profiles, and you all know as well as I, we are all visual so the profiles that I was attracted to I read their Info and BOY, it is amazing how terrible you woman describe yourselves and what your looking for...Any how, I finally came across this beautiful girl with a complete write-up that had it all right (she caught my attention)...I winked at her and then thought how lame is that...So I sent her an email, short but sweet, she replied, I sent again, she replied, etc,...The rest is history, we have been together since, not a LONG time, but long enough to have total love for one another...Its there to be gotten, you just have to weed through, find the one that best fits you, and don't settle...Another thing is, don;t meet up on the second day or anytime soon, take your time and talk on the phone and get to really know each other first...AND! Don't tell lies, be straight up, remember it all comes out eventually... SO IT WORKS!!! God Bless and Good Luck!

Tried it and found some strange people. I found one guy that turned out to be a great friend. This guy I am seeing now is so awesome! Not to mention he gives great sex. Have a lot in common and so glad I made the choice to sign up for DH. Has been great but deleting my profile now. Need to focus on this sweetheart of a man. Jay...YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!
