It's little bit of this and a little bit of that.
This is why it is an interesting place.

Not much dating here but that is not to say it doesn't happen.

Both. What's nice about it is it's a safe place and you can get to know more about someone without pressure.

It really does have both.

I know people who have formed friendships and people who have dated people they've met here.

My words of encouragement are "New people join every day".

And some people don't wait for it to be someone right next door.

Happy hunting!

At first I didn't realize it was a dating site , just here for community .I can't imagine coming out atheist on face book in rural NC.

Both.

Same here. It became more of a dysfunctional but fun family for me.

It seems to be a dating site for intellectuals who want a serious relationship, so the point system encourages discussion and interaction.

It's a new website so there usually isn't yet a big selection of members to date for any given location.

Having just signed on a few weeks ago, I consider this primarily a forum for an exchange of ideas and perspectives on interesting topics. I'm not holding my breath on finding love, or even someone to date casually, perhaps because I've not found that on other sites more directly focused on romantic/platonic connections. I've got an eye on possible dating to be sure, but I'm enjoying the conversations here in the meantime.

I really never got that this is a dating site at all. Actually it's kinda weird as far as sites go. Maybe I just stopped caring but when I start dating again I'm sure it won't be from this site

Agnostic.com is both a dating and discussion website. If you like the discussions, have fun!

If you want to find someone to date, do a search of members in your area. It's that simple.

I'd say community. I gave up on dating for personal reasons, though.
