Hi, I've looked through other threads on the topic and I'm not entirely sure on my decision. To put it straight, I'm an extremely shy guy who likes to take a bit of time to get to know someone before persuing anything. The problem with this is, I often am seen as more of a nice guy, friend material over this time. To put in more perspective, I'm 18, play WoW and have a average group of extremely close friends who I do things with, but I dont seem to meet new people as easily.
Over the past few weeks, considering online dating. I filled out a profile on eHarmony and it "matched" 6 matches. They seemed [I]fairly/I] genuine, however without paying the £50 odd, I would never know. Is this worth it? Other threads are entirely 50/50. Some say free sites are mostly hotspots for spiteful/timewasting people, stating that you only find genuine while paying because its a fairly heavy investment for what it does. However, especially for my age group surely the investment will pass over real matches because not a lot of 18 year olds have £50 to throw at a dating site.
I'm not at all worried about talking online for a bit and meeting if anything clicks, because its not as awkward due to knowing some stuff about each other, but I'm wondering what the best options are? Pay or go with the free sites?
A lot of people also talk about meeting partners throughout WoW. How did this come about? I frequently talk throughout the game, extremely social and friendly but I always seem to bump into the same faces, or no one is really interested. It'd be quite nice to have the common ground of WoW in a relationship haha.
Cheers and sorry if your sick of this topic.
