Not paranoid. Especially if you're experiencing the country from Missouri. I lived in St. Louis for a while. Beautiful, very cool architecture, awesome parks, and some downright scary-ass people.

Well Freddie, off to LAX now, but my plans changed to where I won't have any spare time.

Planning another trip soon though to San Diego/LA where I intend to have time to play with friends! ;-)

"So if you can’t bring yourself to deny the deity, consider opening yourself up to a whole wacky bunch of them. But ideally you should just disbelieve the whole thing. It can help your love life, and, besides, if there really was a god, wouldn’t first messages always get a reply?"

^ That made the article worth reading, yet the irony ("It can help your love life") of the last sentence made me giggle. :)

I've tried online dating. What I do get happy about in my city is that most people put non-religious as their affiliation.

Ernesto: you must have missed recently the dating site OKCupid (which is free, btw) released some statistics from their site. Apparently atheists had the best chance of getting a reply back out of all the religions when mentioned in the initial email. So probably yes, they're on OKCupid, not match.com.

haha! All those theists are supposed to be chaste.

've had some success with online dating... meaning that I went on dates with people and I even seriously dated one girl for about three months. What 've had more success with is, um, online sex-partnering?. I've met girls (and guys ahem) on the internet with whom I had a purely sexual relationship (obligatory friendship, of course) with and never had any problems. That kinda sucks, though, that I have had more success getting laid using the internet than I have in finding a partner. (the folks I had this amount of success with would not have worked out dating-wise by the way... most were theists and had little in common with me other than wanting to have a great time) :/

I hate online dating. It feels too much like a job interview and I have found that there are many guys that are not exactly truthful about themselves. Still, its difficult to find someone. Maybe we are all just too busy, at least in LA.

I had a somewhat positive experience with on-line dating a few years ago. I say "somewhat" because we didn't wind up staying together, although that had more to do with where we were in our lives at the time.

Anyway, we met on the Scientific American singles site, so we already had that in common. We emailed for a few weeks and then started talking on the phone. There was an instant spark so, at some point, I decided to take a trip to NYC (I lived in Houston and she lived in Manhattan) so we could meet in person.

Well, we hit it off immediately and had a pretty nice long distance relationship for 6 or 8 months. I traveled there about every 2-3 weeks during that time and I think if I hadn't been recently divorced and going through some things with my (now grown) kids, things may have worked out better.

She was actually a lot better match for me than most everyone I've met in person before or since.
