Best OLD sites

Apologies if this is in another thread... couldn't find it.

I have been having a fairly horrendous time on OLD lately.

Which are the best sites for meeting people who actually want a relationship? Not just shagging.

Is it worth paying subs to any of them?

I wish I could remember who it was who told me about it. They will have name changed by now, though.

I met my last boyfriend on OKCupid. He was the first date I went on and turned out to be a deranged but. However, I'm now seeing the loveliest man ever who I met through the aforementioned nut. So i think it's important to widen your social circle in any way you can because you never know who you might meet.

Fresh I rarely message first on POF, I usually get plenty of messages but rarely from anyone normal looking.

I'm honestly not punching above my weight on the ones I've chosen to message. Spent time reading and written something thoughtful. But: Nada.

I met my husband on POF 3 years ago. I got lucky as he was the first person i spoke to on there!

Lovemusic33 · 24/09/2017 20:08

Mrs that was lucky, I have been on there for a while, I'm always looking at the 'new members' in hope to get a date with someone who hasn't been on POF for ages (as they tend to have had many hook ups). The man I'm dating at the moment hasn't been on there long and so far seems normal. I have had many weird dates, been ghoasted many times, been told many lies and sent many dick pics.

See I met men like that on the real life dating scene - when I went to bars etc! That's why i gave up trying to find someone until my friend suggested pof and i just got lucky with it. My husband is wonderful, everything I could ever hope for. I went through a lot of shit to get to him but just not online dating! I've heard such mixed things about dating sites though!
