After taking a 9 month hiatus, I am considering get "back out there." However, I am in my late twenties and it’s definitely harder to meet people than it was in college! I am done dating people at work (which is how I met my two long term boyfriends) and, due to time constrictions, I think online dating may be the best route.

Please only answer if you have a) done online dating and b) had success. I don’t need to hear how "lame" it is. Actually,I think that attitude is highly outdated and I’ve already decided to proceed, so it’s pointless to answer if you have a negative attitude towards this subject.

On a more positive note, any tips are appreciated. Here’s a little about me: Female, 28, college-educated.

Some of my main questions:

1) Okay to e-mail men, or should I wait until they e-mail me?
2) How do I respond to the cheesy "winks"??
3)How long is "too long" to e-mail back and forth before meeting?
4) What to do if they keep e-mailing without asking for my phone number?

I just really want to go about this in a classy manner that allows me to meet a lot of quality men, but also retain my pride and a little bit of ‘mystery." MEN’S FEEDBACK WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!
