Too young for dating site?
I'm a 19 year old female who has problems with keeps dating the wrong type of guy because I seem to just 'settle' with whoever would date me since the guys who I really want to date, don't want to date me. I'm thinking about trying out match.com to see if I can find a good guy (for once). Is this a good idea to try? Am I too toung to resort to this? I want a more active dating life!

I don't have that much of a problem with dating sites as long as you're careful, but I still wouldn't recommend it for you. How many guys your age do you think will have profiles? That's the issue. You'll end up with mostly old men that aren't lying or old men that are pretending to be younger. It's not that you're too young for a dating site, it's just that it won't be worth it because it won't give you the opportunities that you're looking for. The types of guys on the site that are around your age (or even the older ones) will probably be really odd or desperate. The reputable sites cost money and even if something says it's free, the free accounts are generally useless because you don't get any of the perks that help you to find or be found. It's honestly not worth the money or the time for you to try this. Rather than thinking about a dating site, why not analyze why the guys that you want to date don't want to date you. That's the real problem here. Figure that out, because it'll happen online just as easily as it'll happen in real life. Is it that you're not looking at the right people in the right places or is it that there's something about you that makes these guys not want to date you? Generally if you have a connection with someone, they have a connection with you. I'm not taking physical attraction. Ask your friends if you have a good approach. Maybe you just come off as awkward or something. Maybe you should dress differently, who knows. Things like these are correctable. Please focus on the root of the problem rather than trying to get around it somehow. Making a profile on a dating website will likely just cause more problems and frustrations for you. If you want a more active dating life, just ask people out. You may get rejected 10 times, but if you ask 20 people, you might end up with 2 dates. An online profile just makes the asking easier because you're behind a computer screen. You don't need that. Just go out, muster the courage, and ask people. You don't have to ask them out on a date, just ask them if they want to meet up for lunch or something like that. It may be terrifying to consider actually coming out and saying something like that to someone in person, but just do it. If you take the easy way out, your available options will reflect that. People will really respect the courage and confidence and there will be better choices if you just throw it out there. The only thing is that you can't get discouraged and give up if you get rejected a lot. It's a numbers game. Good luck! :)

I personally do not recommended it.
The thing with dating sites is that is it pretty hard to find a real genuine guy that is being truthful. At 19, I wouldn't even be thinking of using a dating a site. The best way to meet people is friends of friends or by simply starting a casual conversation with someone. How would you make a friend? You would need to say hi right?
Dating sites are full of creeps, I am sure there are nice people too but that's my person opinion.
