Using OLD as a coping mechanism?

Emailed this woman on POF and I did get a response, but she said she got out of a 2 year relationship where she had her heart broken and that she wasn't sure if she should be dating anyone yet.

 

 

I recommended that she may want to try other avenues of non-singles focuses related groups...namely Meetup. But I had heard of situations that a lot of people who are getting over a break up use online dating as a means to make themselves feel better as opposed to get dates.

 

Is there some truth to this?

Sure, getting dumped can have a negative impact on self image and self esteem.

 

OLD can be used as an ego booster. Lots of people making the effort to reach out to you, complement, and asking you out will surely boost your confidence.

Dude, you've been posting about OLD for how long now and you haven't figured out that this is a known fact?

 

Almost every woman I met from OLD was fresh out of a relationship and not ready to date. One of the biggest drawbacks to people on OLD.
