Online dating / dating agencies??

[Janlin]

Hi!
I'm in my late twenties now and friends are encouraging me to meet more guys through dating agency like SDU and Lunch Actually as well as online dating....so far I've not really heard of any successful stories from my close friends......Wonder if any cotters have any interesting or successful stories to share??

A friend of mine met her current husband thru lunch actually. She was divorced before(her 1st marriage lasted 2 years) and had kind of lost hope. A year after her divorce, her sister recommended her to lunch actually. She went feeling cynical but guess lady luck was smiling upon her. She met her current husband on the very 1st date! 6 months later, they got married and last I heard, they're happy and planning to start a family soon. I've only 1 story so far but I think sometimes, when it comes to love, anything can happen.

I'm actually intending to start what I call a dating management service, not the usual speed dating etc, but more on helping men and women on dating/attracting the interest of the object of their affections.

I hadn't watched Will Smith's Hitch before till about a month after being obsessed about providing a service like that. For those who have watched that (funny) movie, that's very close to what I want to offer.

E.g.

- Helping step by step from the early stages of getting the guy's attention that you exist, to dating etc.

- Provide advice, help and spur the person on.

- Might also rope in the help of my SO to advise ladies on how to handle the unwanted overtures of undesirable men. E.g. those who keep bugging you to go drinking etc when you really absolutely do not want to.

Code of ethics that I've thought up so far are these (mostly applies to the men LOL ) :

- We will not help those who just want to improve themselves just to get women for sex and/or to fool around. The basis of this service is to help men and women make it easier to move towards "The One".

- No services will be given to those who have a record of violence/abuse towards women and children.

- No services will be given to those who want to be a third party and break up a happy couple. Even if the couple is unhappy, causing a breakup to get to the guy/gal who will be on a rebound is probably not going to work out well anyway.


Errr.. ok, not advertising here, but would like to know how many ladies will find a service like this popular? Also, what other services would you all like to have?

Thanks lots in advance!

Just to add on, I've joined SDS before, made a few friends from there. General impression is that some of them are quite shy and perhaps aren't as good in social and therefore, dating skills. What I intend to provide, with the help of others as well, are improvement of social and dating skills that will make one more attractive to the opposite gender.

My cousin was a member in SDS, she found her husband there and they've 2 kids now.

Ladies,

I do encourage you to join SDU. There is nothing to be shy.
I just did and I attended their welcome party yesterday at Holiday Inn.

At the end of the day, if you didn't meet someone special, it's still great because you've made some friends.

I personally know a few couples happily married through SDU. No harm trying.

[casioplus]

is it ? i am hesistant. strange feeling if go there.how are the people u met?

[citrella]

casioplus, i have deleted away my profile at Lovebyte because I can't handle that many emails coming in.

Yes , there are weird guys. I was even scolded (in email) for being proud and not replying. But there are nice guys too. I am still friends with 3 - 4 guys and they are gentlemen.

Yup... There's weird people around... Be it real life, forum, dating site or whatever...
Though most are weird GUY... But there's weird GIRLS too. I tried one of the dating site before...and got 'freak out'...cause too many 'pervert/weird' girls around...

i've tried speeddate on facebook before and got to know few friends from there. mostly people who just want to know more friends. Nonetheless, did encounter a really wierd guy who freaked me out a bit. Have stopped using it ever since.

Yup... There's many weirdos out there, especially in those dating site/forum/internet... You need to be extra careful when meeting people online, especially alone... But well, glad you manage to find some true friends... =)
