after experiencing a mere 1 date thru a dating service i give up on the entire concept. his idea of a date was going back to his place, smoking weed, and listing to records. i kid you not, these were his words.
i really think you need to meet people in person for the first time via your own interests like general social goups, hiking clubs, adult ed classes, the gym, work, community work, community events synagogue, church, etc.
a dating service is so artificial. as social contact between people has lessened because of television, cars, computers, consumerism, long work hours, urbanization, we have had to establish these drastic means of meeting people...i say leave the house, turn off the tv more, turn off the computer more and get out there. it's also possible to go to your rabbi or priest and have them set you up with someone in their congregation who is also looking for a partner....they are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get....
