Arianna Huffington: Help Me Nominate Five Glamour Women of the Year
Justin Huang: You Don't Need To Be In A Relationship To Live Your…
Whether you're all about it, totally creeped out, or don't quite get it, everyone has an opinion about online dating. Starting Monday, we're going to be profiling five couples, one per day, who fell in love online. Now we want to hear your thoughts -- so much so that your opinion could win you a free trip for two on Virgin America. And believe us, you want this trip. Virgin America is more hip than Rachel Zoe. So check out the official rules here, read all about Virgin America's awesomeness and then fill out the form to win, after the jump.
Flying with Virgin is flying in style:
+ In-flight Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat. Don't let flying get in the way of your productivity! Or your Facebook stalking!
+ Leather seats -- because your butt deserves it, dang it! -- and a moonlit cabin. Brings that old-school romanticism of flying back, doesn't it?
+ Every seat has access to the "RED" in-flight entertainment system. Not only does it let you watch newly released movies, listen to more than 3,000 MP3s, view premium shows on demand and live satellite TV, but you also chat seat-to-seat (in case you think the guy in 5A is too cute to get away). Seriously -- you can text fellow passengers. In fact many couples have met this way on Virgin America flights
+ Order food right from your seat at the touch of a button. No more carts in the aisles or waiting for the next round of beverage service. Not to mention the gourmet meal options and shaken specialty cocktails. Flying with a martini just feels so fancy.
+ Other fun extras available for the fille in flight included here.
Virgin America flies to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Boston, Orange County and Fort Lauderdale. Follow them on Twitter and stay on top of all things Virgin.

Everyone would prefer to meet through a known source but it is just not practical. I agree with you. My motto is no matter how great things seem in the email/ phone phase...DO NOT SKIP STEPS. Take the time to meet for a coffee....if things seem okay, you can always extend the meeting or schedule another. But take time ....we all wear masks and they take a while to spot the cracks in many. Any gut feelings that make you uneasy and are a cue to bail. That is what the BLOCK button is for.....I hope my daughters have it easier than me. Good luck

Some folks think the dating sites are a wonderful way to "meet" someone. I don't think so, but that's them and I am me.

I met my very best friend and soul mate online. We got married, bought a house and blended our families. Life couldn't be more perfect. I never would have crossed paths with him if it wasn't for online dating.

On Line dating can work. My daughter met her husband on line and married 4 years ago. She said that he is everything that she had ever hoped for in a man, in a husband, both morally, as well as physically, even down to the color of his eyes! I've tried it myself. Though a marriage had never come from it, I met some amazing men that I am still friends with, 10 years later. I had certainly met my share of jerks, as well. I did spend a length of time corresponding with them, prior to meeting them, never giving them my last name, address, or phone number. Many would cuss me out because I wouldn't share my number, to which that was the end. If a person cannot respect one's wishes about something as simple as that, they are not one I would want to spend any time with. Then there were the men that were over 6' and 250 lbs or more that I was not interested in. They too would cuss me out as well, because I wasn't interested. I'm under 100lbs and only 5' 1" which this just would not be a good fit for me. I'm sure they wouldn't want to date someone 150 lbs more than them and more than a foot taller!!! Then of course you had the men that were over 50 (my age) but they wouldn't even bother looking at a profile of a woman of their own age and only those much younger. Ha...one guy was posted "over 52". His profile said that he wanted someone in their 30's to 40's with a body still looking that of her 20's! It touched a nerve and with me still looking good at 54 at the time, I sent him a photo indicating women over 50 have something to offer and can still be in good shape, as well. We ended up being very good friends, but the man was 88 years old...YES, 88, that was Not a typo!!!!!! One does need to be Very Careful and be sure to go to a populated place when they meet. Use common sense. It had been a fun experience. If anything seems to be strange or make you feel uncomfortable while corresponding, stick with your gut and that is a red flag! End it, before you meet them.

I met my current wife online and we too melded our families and we are all so very glad we met. Had it not been for online dating this perhaps would have never happened, it was amazing for us to realize how many times we had been merely feet from one another yet never had met until we found each other online! Yes be safe always meet in public and by all means get to know the person on the other end of the monitor for a long period of time before relinquishing any personal onformation to them. Thanks and The trip would be the icing on our cake!

I have tried on line dating. It can work but like everything else its all about timing and luck and the right person. Theres plenty of attractive woman but there so picky there looking for mr perfect. That why there profiles are up for years and years no body is good enough. I have had several relationships on line so I have been on and off. Most people are confused and unrealistic. It's the human supermarket of people shopping. You have to be realistic.

I think online dating is a great way to meet people. I met my husband online. I am not the bar type of person & did the online dating for a few years before meeting my husband. He decided to try it after a divorce & was online for only 2 weeks prior to me finding him. I wrote & he replied back immediately. We met about a week later & have been together ever since. We met 5 years ago & will be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary next week

Online dating broadens your horizons. You could meet people that you never would have without the internet. The problem is when people "exaggerate" to make themselves more attractive. I also think that some people are content with just emailing and having a pseudo relationship thus wasting the time of people that want a real relationship.

I tried it but it just hasn't worked for me. I do better meeting people and getting to know them first.

Rewriting this, first was not posted....Online dating is becoming a fact of life in today's world. Currently on Senior People Meet; different players but the game is the same. Friends and I share our stories and are often in disbelief at the outright deception.
My last big interest was a guy who appeared to be smart, active, possessed a sense of humor. Told me he was a widower. Send emails, texted and called me regularly. Apparently he had read the hospitality industry book, I LIKE YOU. It was in all of his missives....Anyway, my daughter inadvertedly, discovered that his wife was indeed a- live and well....and NOT DEAD! Upon her resurrection, she began to track me on Twitter, I got a notice. I licked my wounds but I really feel for her. Image your husband claiming you're dead....wow. A lot of these guys just want validation that they are still attractive and since our habits form in our early years, I would guesss that he has been pulling this kind of stuff his entire married life.
I don't tweet, I am a senior and barely chirp. I was so certain that this man was on the up and up....because I wanted him to be.
Ever the optimist, I am back at it...have dusted off my rump and and am standing tall again. Just a bit more careful this time. I absolutely will not skip any steps...meet for coffee for first and you can always bolt. No matter how great the correspondence and chats may be....take it slowly. And watch out for those late night chat guys who just want to pass the time and have intention of going further.
Now, I have met another widower and we will meet in a few weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed and taking it one step at a time!
I have a block button and I know how to use! Good luck .....all this reminds of the Wookie BAR in the old STAR WARS flick....remember that old watering hole in outerspace???? lol It's a jungle in the dating sites........
