Your Favourite Whitney Memories: 'Singing At The Back Of The Bus'
Jamie Lee Curtis: Blame It On The Fame Game?
Ron and Sheryl's tactics may have been polar opposites, but the two meshed perfectly. "Once I found out that I was the 'second date' of the day we met, I definitely ragged him about it," says Sheryl. "But in the end it didn't really matter because we both found our soul mate."She says she thinks it's normal for guys to date more quickly and frequently after a divorce. "Generally I think it is harder for men who have been married to be alone again than it is for women," Sheryl says.
The Best Approach
Burbach agrees that the key is being willing to try, whether it takes you three dates or 300. "The people who have the advantage in online dating understand that it's a method for getting introduced to people," says Burbach. "The ones who believe the perfect person will be delivered to their inbox without any work on their part are the ones who struggle."
"Instead of getting hung up on whether or not a guy is 'marriage material' right from the start, a woman should schedule dates like she does business meetings: Pencil them into her calendar; have coffee for an hour; and if they click, fabulous. If not, there should be another coffee date already on her calendar."
Finding a cyber love match may take a little effort and require reading between the "I enjoy long walks on the beach" lines. But as Sheryl and Ron prove, that time investment can pay off.
"Just remember -- the person that you are meant to be with is out there. You just have to persevere and you will find them," says Ron. "I did."

I've tried several personals sites for 8 years - best is Plenty of fish; worst is e Harmony and craigs list; only 1 in 20 answers; of those who do, only 1 in 10 meets my desires for intelligence/non-fat/danceability/pretty. I'm still looking.

Yeah, it works, but some people become addicted. After I was married, I found out my husband was still online dating! In fact, he was on a date two days before we got married, and was still contacting and meeting women well after the wedding. I never want to date again under any circumstances.

Stupidist, most obsessive thing I've ever heard of! If you're lucky enough to be single; stay that way!!! If I were single, I would NEVER go out of my way, or write a single email, to find a person or be tied down again. Life's too short!

I met a man online who would spend hours a night on the phone w/me. After a slip up, I realized he was calling multiple women each night. He would have to pull up our profiles online to remember who he was talking to. We met once, but I realized he was looking for the PERFECT fit. Looks, intelligence, and a good job; not in that order. We communicated briefly a couple of years later. He was still looking. There isn't much of a soul mate in that!

3 dates in one day? If I had been one of those women and he told me that I was his second date of the day, I would have run, especially if I knew that he literally dated hundreds of women. Come on, do you REALLY have to date/meet that many people to find the right mate? Most of us do it after dating much fewer people. I think he was obsessed about finding a woman who was 110% perfect for him.
