Dating sites

Okay so I tried out a few when I first moved here and it didn't go well like AT ALL. But now I'm thinking maybe I should try again just not sure if December is the best time to try again especially since I'm looking for something longterm and not just a fling. So thoughts... should I wait till next year Feb or just go for it?

Edit: if there are any recommendations where I could potentially meet someone in person preferably not at a club that'd be great.
