Calling all my lovelies!
We’re good friends by now, right? Right. Which is why I think it’s time we take our relationship to the next level…
It’s time for you to tell me if I should attempt online dating or not. 
I am so ready to love again, and I have lots of love to give, and gosh darn it, I’m a catch! I also live in Southern Cali, which appears to be headquarters for D-Bags of America. I hate meeting guys at bars, and even the guys I’ve met through friends lately are lacking in one department or another. If you’ve heard any of my dating stories lately, you know what I’m talking about. All I’m going to say is I never want to hear the words “oil” and “lotion” in the same sentence again. Yeah.
But this lil lady is ready to get out there, in one way or another…because I DO believe in true love.
Who knows, maybe it will end up like this! Or we’ll be on a match or eharmony commercial! Kidding…
So? Yes or No Dollfaces?
Obviously if I get the green light, my online dating escapades and adventures will be chronicled here on It’s Unbeweavable for your pleasure and I’m sure, amusement.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
XOXO, Liz

dude! i threw up in my mouth AGAIN (sorry everyone she knows what im talking about)
what did i tell you last night…do i need to make a visit to costco today???? You know i have the card in my chanel bag.
i love you lizzyboo – i think now is the time to say f*ck the men and just go enjoy life. go out and have fun with your girls. Stay at home and read mags and O * L up (omg). When you least expect it your man will sweep you off your feet.
Dont get me wrong i have nothing against online dating – i've never done it but i cant knock it. just take the baby steps… because you know the bubble is D-Bag central.
OH SNaP – hot or not chronicles! You're my girl i support you in whatever you want to do because you are a great catch! and i want you in love with a great man (andyS) but dude if you O*L ill F*cking kick your ass.
love you bitch! (ps someone said i ruined their 40 years of fun with my post)
I say to go for it,but be carefull online dating could be tricky.
speaking from my own experiance…
hmm you can try if you want, somehow it will be interesting cause you are talking with a guy you've never seen before. but do be careful to choose, dear. sometimes it can be tricky and when it gets too far and actually what you see in real him is not as good you think, you may get dissapointed. (i learn from my friend's experience)
i support whatever decision you make but just dont want you to get hurted, okay dear?
I'm so behind you no matter which way you go. If you go through with this, OMG its going to be overwhelming. You're going to need a separate email, phone number, and 100 hours in the day to sort all the guys out who are going to stalk you. Scary! Although, the stories that we'll get to hear, I already know are going to be HILARIOUS. Match.com is going to ask you if they can create you, your own UnbeweavableMatch.com because they will not be able to house the amount of gentlemen callers trying to contact you!!

hmmm. it is so hard to meet good guys!!! but i met my last two bf's via on-line dating. the ex was a good guy, and we were together for 3 years, but it didn't work out. the current bf is a good guy WITH ISSUES (i have many issues, too!!!), and we have been together nearly 4 years. so it can work! i met some dickweeds and pervs on-line, too, so you do have to be careful and weed through the riff raff.
oh. and i HATED eharmony, but that is just me.
and you are going to nab someone special. you are the cats meow!
why the hell not? you never know what you will find…
I guess it's worth a try. As long as you're careful and smart (which I know you are ; ), what have you got to lose?
wow @ kelly's response…
i agree with a lot of your commenters on do what you feel if you are ready…why not?
online dating is a part of "regular" dating nowadays..this is not 10yrs ago when it was such a taboo to like meet someone online in real life LOL….you can meet perves online you can meet perves at the supermarket lol..yes do be careful, first meets in a public place etc….but hey if you're up for the online dating thing GO FOR IT!
i'm going on a singles cruise in august HAHAHAHA…wanna go? lol..
i've head some great things about online dating. just be smart and be careful. def potential to find someone!
*heard
I don't know…it kinda seems scary. If your careful I think it it might help you find love.
Yuck…"oil" & "lotion" in the same sentence from someone who youjust meet, I'd say that warrants the Douche title. They are everywhere and I wish they would wear a sign.
Crazy thunder storm this morning right? What is up, June Gloom at full force?
Everyone of my friends who has online dated has found a great guy. I'm not making that up. They aren't what they think they went, and then it turns out to be a really solid relationship. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
LoL about the LA pickings – I know how it is! Luckily I found one of the few decent guys left in Cali!
Hey, so I hear I will be meeting you at the Blogger's Lunch on the 14th! I am so excited, it's going to be great!
I actually met my boyfriend online–there are definitely a lot of creepers out there, but a lot of people are just like you and looking to meet someone. I had to weed through a bunch of messages, but I started talking to Mike online and we talked for 4 hours on the phone the first time! We've been dating almost a year now.
It's not for everyone, but it's not just people who can't find dates anywhere else…I'd just moved to a new state, and he was home for the summer and didn't know many people. Good luck! I hope it's a good experience!
I'd say go for it girl!! One of my best friends found her bf online, and he wasn't an evil monster nor was he hideous. And I don't believe he ever said the words oil and lotion in the same sentence!
But I suppose they all can't be sane!!
That said, what's wrong with being single?? (Yes I know, we all want someone!!) It's when you stop looking that you normally find someone! (In my case, when I really didn't have time for it/ left the country… )
Why not? You don't like it, you stop doing it. I met the hubs at work. If I hadn't, I met have turned to the online biz as Florida has more than it's fair share of d-bags!
my sister in law met her AMAZING husband through eharmony….and oh hun…i have the most amazing orange county friend…he used to work with my c…he is covered neck to toes in ink (and knows how to give it too)…has the best man hair i've ever seen…his style is just right…and he is one of the coolest guys ever…however one}he lost a leg overseas (which can i tell you has not slowed him down a bit and his prosthesis his the most amazing ever because it too looks to be covered in ink…and two}he still currently lives in washignton state, but his fam still lives in cali so i am going to see if he is currently single because he too is a catch!!
If you want to give your readers some excellent entertainment absolutely go for it! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading many fine online dating stories.
Your success will mostly depend on what type of guy you are interested in and being honest with yourself about what you are hoping for. There are tons of sketchballs, and plenty of dudes and chicks just looking to hook up. I cant tell you how many times I have received messages from girls that within the first paragraph they tell me one of their hobbies is boning…
I also have a very close friend that is now living with a girl he met online.
I say, go for it, be open, honest and cautious
Hi my name is saul, I am an online dater, i have now been clean from internet dating for 8 months.
I said "Yes" to online dating and that's how I met Miguel..We've been dating for 3 years now and we have had some AMAZING times together!
He doesn't like telling people that's how we met but I think, as long as we're happy, none of that matters!
My best advice for online dating, be picky !
There are plenty of guys on those sites and you'll surely find a great one for you
hey hunny; why not?? always follow your heart in the end it will lead you into the place you WANT to BE.
just be careful for those creeps, but in my opinion i dont think you should go looking for love i think you should let it find you…
its definitely worth a try. give a month or two and see if you get any bites, which i'm sure you will
and you can be more selective with online dating, you dont have to go out with every guy that sends you a message.
best of luck!
emmm… i don't know, Yes??. Yes, i Think this is my answer!
but … you have to take pepper spray. HAHAHA! (i am only joking!)
have a good day!
doll!
I say try online dating. Meeting people is hard, especially once you out of school and established in work.
I work in a female dominated field and I just don't swing that way and all my friends or friends of friends were already paired up. So I went online. Some experiences I would rather not repeat, but I enjoyed it. I met my current boyfriend online and we have been dating for more than a year and half.
Go for it! It can't hurt!
i say go for it. i live in so cal too and meeting through friends and the bar can be frustrating at times too. so just take baby steps and be careful. if nothing else, it will be entertaining.
I say go for it but make sure you sign up for a credible site and not just some place people go to for an attempt at booty calls. My sis did Match.com and it was filled w/ boys (not men in my book) who obviously didn't want anything serious and just wanted to hook up. Lame. She dropped it in a week and half. Good luck! And be sure to share your stories w/ us!!!
xoxo
PS: No necklace yet, but maybe it's in today's mail??? I'm hoping!
Go for it! Your true love could be out in the e-world as well and you wouldn't want to keep him waiting!
I say do it and here's why…I think it is almost safer to meet someone online then in a bar..from my own experience and you get to know they guy in a whole different way. I met my guy online…he was first and only person I talked to (online), we have been together over three years. there is NO way I would have met him or anyone like him if I didn't! I think anyone who blogs…should be all about online dating!
I say GO FOR IT.
I tried it once, got a nice dating experience out of it.
What have you got to lose, right? If nothing else, you'll get a bunch of great blog posts out of it and maybe a guy!
PS – you live in SoCal? Me too!!!
not going to lie i did the online dating thing.
didn't work out as planned.
kinda sketchy but cool at the saame time.
it all depend.
don't LOWER YOUR STANDARDS, otherwise the e-men will trample all over you.
command the cyberworld girl.
go out and have fun!
Why not!? I think you should do it if it makes you happy!
Girl, I know it is so hard…and now I feel like I have to explain it to my mom b/c she is grandbaby ready.
You'll get a million emails from weirdos that you'll just have to weed through, but there's surely some genuine, normal guys online in CA.
But let some of the "good" guys take you out, and these guys will let you know what a treasure you are! Even if it doesn't work out, you've had fun trying.
Good luck Sweetie!
Oh Lizzy-Bear , you dont need us to tell you to do it or not. If you WANT to , then try it! I know a few married … happily married couples that found eachother on those dating sites, and I always have a few friends in long term relationships that found eachother on them too. But just like any other place you meet men, youll always run into weirdos, Im sure. Just becareful, have fun, and if you want to do it, then DO it.
My friends signed me up for one so I could do their quizzes…she said they were "THE BEST!!!" so I go on thinking, shoot, I like quizzes ( you know me and quizzes) and I figure ok, no one will bother me. Ummmm…. I got like hundreds of dudes sending me emails on that thing, and lets just say theinternet allows some people to say what they normally…wouldnt say. So be prepared to be overwhelmed with the attention.
I just want to see you happy lovebug, thats all that matters. If it means I help you pic out pictures for match.com or eharmony.com or Iwantyoursex.com or whatever they are called. HAHA sorry…. then lets do it!!
All Im saying is, there are some men on dating sites that are looking for a real relationship, just like there are some men in reality looking for that too… so you may run into some douche bags, but we are used to that, or you may run into some cool folk.. all that matters is you do what you WANT to do. And love is important to you, maybe what you need is to date and have some fun and meet new guys.
Just make sure they dont steal my heterosexual wife away mmmmkay? I love you lots. And I support anything you want to do and shoot, I'll HELP you if I know how HAHA. <3
I say "yes, yes, yes" like in When Harry Met Sally! How did my best friend who has been married over a year meet her husband? JDate. How did my mom who has been dating her boyfriend for over five years meet her boyfriend? JDate. How did my best friend's best friend meet her fiancee? EHarmony.
See the pattern??? You pick & choose your dates, you have control, you can date like 5 a week if you want! Go out, have fun & report back to us!
Why not? If you can make on-line friends, you can make on-line boyfriends right?
I don't know about online dating… could be alright I guess. Maybe you should just go on a contiki tour
One of my bestfriends just started dating a guy she met online, he's a really great guy.. and by really great I mean they got in a fight last week and he bought her an $1400 necklace from Tiffanys… so if all the guys on online dating sites are like that what the hell are we waiting for? I say give it a shot, you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Uhm, I don´t know…Elizabeth. You´re an attractive lady. All you need to do is show up somewhere and all the guys are all lined up dying to ask you out. You don´t need no online dating. You need reality dating!
wait what?!
we need to talk!!!
love the three column look:)
i don't know, really i just don't know…if you do decide to do it i want to hear all the good stories (b/c there are bound to be some).
I say go for it! Lots of people are trying it out, but yea just be warned that you'll have to do a LOT of filtering. Also, be careful what site you sign up to cuz some are more for relationships whereas others have more of a hook-up rep.
Um, ABSOLUTELY. What do you have to lose? You either meet the love of your life…
Or have more blog fodder than you know what to do with.
I've done it before. It's been hit and miss. I met some great girls, but I also met some psychos. If you do it, definitely be careful and go into it with your eyes wide open. Good luck whatever you decide.
Go for it! Just be safe and smart!
It was nice to meet you. Thanks for commenting on my blog! 
I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I know a bunch of people that have done it and enjoyed, a few that haven't. Either way, it's a great way to get back out there and get some free meals while you're at it!
I have had friends that had great experiences with online dating so I'm all for it!
And girl, once you get that ring on your finger, I am SO going to be your wedding photographer!
kisses!
You and Savvy Mode wrote about the same thing! I wrote this on her page too…
I don't see anything wrong with online dating, but you have to be careful because there can be some deceivers out there. With technology being so huge now, there's so many different outlets for dating. Good luck girl!
Lily G! what a GREAT observation!! I was just coming back on here to leave another comment saying I just saw that too!!!! HAHAH how cool that you noticed!! I had no idea online dating posts were SUCH HOT TOPICS…
omg you're right! I did see this elsewhere today ….not cool. honestly hate that shit!!! no words of advice though …what can you do? …yours is better though.
Two things:
First thing…online dating can be fun! Hopefully your date won't drive you behind a grocery store and ask for a handy.
Second thing: SERIOUSLY?? Mess with my sister and I will CUT YOU.
One of my one night stands was a guy I met online… but we were friends for about 3 years before this ever happened! See how it goes! =)
I would say totally go for it! My boyfriend of two years now met me on e-harmony and I am so blessed because of it! I love the guided questions on the site that match you up with the right personality and if having someone with a similar background is important to you, it also does a great job of this as well. Plus, the guy and you have to pay for the service, and that says something, right?! Granted, my first e-harmony date sucked and we had nothing in common, but I was not good at reading the phone signs at the time due to me going through a bit of a rebounding phase. Ha ha. But, my second date is now what I call my Big Kiddo, and I love him to death! We clicked on the first date and I was a super happy girl, especially with all of the drama I went through with my ex. I like e-harmony because I don't like going to bars and other weird places to hook up with guys. It's a great way to find a genuine guy without searching left and right if you are patient and go through the stages on the site. If it doesn't work out, then at least you tried it and took the lead of faith. Good luck and can't wait to see what you decide!
I say go for it.
I met mat online (it wasnt a dating website though!! I knew I would be going to europe and was hunting down photos of places I wanted to go on my then myspace page! And I typed in "Marseille" and for some reason his profile was the only one I opened (it wasnt even a photo of him) and I added him. We spoke every-night for maybe a minimum of 5 hours each night for the next 10 months till he surprised me in Paris!
So do it baby girl! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!!
Love you girly xoxoxox
I tried it and just told myself to think of it as an experiment… Overall, I had a good experience and learned a lot about myself. If you want to, go for it! The only advice I can give is don't feel like you have to respond to everyone. I did that, just to be nice and give everyone a chance, and it took forever and took a lot out of me! Love will definitely find you. How could it not? You're a lovebug!
basing on my own experience dearest, i would go for it if i were you. of course, it doesn't go without possible consequences– but of course a smart and savvy gal like you would know exactly the good and the bad signs. my boyfriend of a year and a half, stan, is from canada and we just randomly met in some chatroom… never expected that things will end up this way, but you never know, right? some people are so cynical about online dating but sometimes the risk is well worth it. at least in my case it was.:)
and liz, i'm dying to know who you're pertaining to that entry, the one jacking off your entries. hope you'd let me know somehow. the blog post was already deleted by the time i got here.:( sigh
much love

i say give it a go! the only thing is that people can lie easily online, so just have to find the honest people… good luck! x
I say,if you're safe about it,do it,and see how it goes.Love comes from strange and wonderful places.And yours might just come from the Internet.And if you don't try it,how will you ever know?
i've never tried it but think it's a good idea, some people do lie but there are honest good people too, just keep an extra eye out
I say go for it. You have nothing to lose by signing up; you can always deactivate the account if you don't like the catalogue of men. Given that, I also think that if you go out, enjoy yourself FOR YOURSELF, and stop looking around at what's available, he might spot you and sweep you off your feet!
Best of luck.

Morning Sugar!
Online dating – Never done it, it's crossed my mind but then I always think about the Chesters that could be on the other end of the computer using a picture of a younger hot guy. Yeah so I am not much help on that subject!
Last nights post – I read it and then came back to comment this morning and it was gone. But I want to let you know I think it's f'ed up!!!! And I can take a bitch down, I may be small but I am fiesty and I have freakishly strong arms, just sayin.
Yubby you and keep on keepin' on! Karma will get those a-holes!
I say give it a shot, darling! It's the modern way of doing things, I suppose… I have to get back into the dating scene as well; it is daunting but who knows, it could be fun!
Love the pics in this post, too!
xoxox,
CC
I wonder if my opinion would make a difference ! Haha you seem to have many different views already ;P
What am I to say, I'm in the most amazing relationship ever, and it's online.
Lots of drama held in those, you need to learn to trust way more than you'd trust the kid who lives next door.
It's a hassle, but I can tell you, it's totally worth it ;]
Good luck !
OMG do it! I'm half bummed that I've never had the chance to try it (serial monogamist). Please do and tell us!!
P.S. I finally added you to my blogroll! So sorry for the delay
I don't really think there's anything wrong with online dating [although it's not my preference], but from what I hear, you can meet honest, good people. You just have to be able to use your good judgement when you are so limited on communication.
My Aunt and Uncle met on an online dating site and are now married and havea gorgeous baby!
do it!! my husband and I always say that if we were single, we definitely would. there are so many D-bags everywhere…hello! I live in NYC and they are everywhere:) but you should go for it! all of my single friends do too and sometimes it doesn't work but that's just dating…
keep us posted. you totally are a catch and deserve happiness with a great guy!
xo
ok i ve done it alot more then is normal . i mean think of it this way you are online i am online we are all online .so we are normal people right?;)
so you can definitly find a normal good guy online.
most of my firends say that no that there are perverts .but im not a pervert . and i'm online.
i met an ex Bf online an he was really great i will never forget him . go for it . just remember . if he met you online he might be meeting someone else .and becuse u dont know his circle of friends its easier for him to lie to you .
OK, you know I care about you and I want you to be happy. I personally have never don't it but I feel like when you go online dating, the person is also looking for the same thing that you are…they want to have a relationship and you skip all the bullshit that bars bring! You have to report back what happens. If you don't find a mate, you will amaze us all with your funny online dating stories…please report back your decision.
…Dbags are everywhere belive me I've lived in many places and I've always found the perfect idiots!! btw go for it you'll never know
)
you should totally give it a go!! a friend of mine recently got MARRIED to a guy that she met online through a service…I say why the hell not. At least you know that the guys on there are actually looking for a relationship!
YES! (i know i'm late) but yes, yes and more yes. it's a lot of fun and a good way to go through some dates without having to go places and meet people by accident. AND that's how i met chuck! yayee!
I say, sure, why not!? I also live in LA, the D-bag capital, so I get it. Though, I am in a relationship. have been for quite sometime. but still, I say go for it. mostly because I want to hear about your dating escapades. as long as you are safe and smart about it, I think it could be fun. though, I have heard it is expensive… (this poor guy I know has spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on dating site memberships… and still no luck in the love department)
well, good luck whatever you do!
I agree with Kelly. Take your time – I actually just watched the "He's just not that into you" – a lot of real stuff in there. He will come and will sweep you off your feet. If you do decide to do it though, just be careful and have fun – don't raise your expectations though. =)
Yes for online dating..!! Well, online dating allows you to know the tastes, preferences, and interests of a person before you actually meet him or her.
