Do 19 year olds use websites like this? You may be wondering why someone so young would want to try a dating website.. I am in NYC and am currently taking a semester off from school. I went to a big party school and the lifestyle really didn't suit me, I got bored of the constant party life, but by the time I realized that I didn't want to go back it was too late to transfer for this semester. Next fall I may try to transfer to NYU, but I am getting my own apartment (which I will pay for through my job) so I don't have to live at home, and if I like it I may want to keep the apartment and commute (assuming I am accepted to NYU-- which I was as an undergrad, but wanted to go somewhere away from home). A year ago I would never have thought of commuting, but again, I realized that the dorm and party lifestyle gets boring (at least to me) quickly, especially when I was doing it so frequently at my other school (somehow I managed to keep my grades up).
ANYWAY, now I am going to be doing nothing but working for a whole 8 months. I have no friends because they are all away at college, and will be living alone. I need someone to do things with otherwise I have no motivation, so I know that after work and on weekends I will do nothing but sit on the computer for 10 hours straight. I can't go to a club or bar because I have no one to go with, so meeting girls that way isn't an option, and you can't approach girls on the street or even at a store because they will think you're a creep (especially in NYC where nobody even looks at each other). It seems like the only way people meet other people is through their friends, job, school, or in an environment where people are willing to meet each other, which people usually go to with company. Anyway, I know I'm not likely going to meet anyone, which is why I am interested in seeing if eHarmony, match.com, or any dating website like this offer service for young people. Thanks!
???: Ideally, you're right, and of course I'm not offended, but it isn't as promising or realistic as it sounds on paper. I have a decent amount of experience at clubs, and even picking up women at places like this, but usually people don't go to clubs alone (without a wingman). I have a good personality, and never have trouble making friends, and I don't think I'm usually turned down by women for my looks (so I don't think that's the issue either), but it just seems a little strange to go to a club alone. I've seen guys that do this before, and it just looks a little awkward. So you are right, but I don't know if I'm the kind of person that's up for that.
Thanks for answering though, everybody.
