So have any of you ever done the online dating thing? I'm ready to start dating again but I am not sure where to start. I've gone out "manhunting" with my friend Amber a few times, but we're both pretty shy and I'm not sure just hanging around bars and concerts is the best way to meet quality dudes. I also volunteered at that art gallery and I figure doing more things like that can't hurt... but I'm kind of lost! It's been like 4 years since I've been on a first date! Any sites you guys can recommend? Is it worth doing one that costs money like match.com vs. free ones like okcupid? Gaaa! I'm nervous!
