Question

What generally pops into your mind when you hear about internet romances?

I don't mean relationships that go on purely online. My last relationship lasted 5 yrs and I met him online, we met after about 2 weeks of chatting. Now, I'm currently engaged (getting married 8.12) to another gentleman I met online..just wanted to know what other people thought of internet dating..but for all you skeptics ...IT CAN WORK! Everyone online isn't a liar or a crazy freak..there are some sane ones..

Answer 1

Absolutely not. The people that are on here are lying to each other and themselves. If you want to find love you have to be able to see, touch, and talk in person.

Answer 2

I think Internet personals are the PERFECT way to meet dates, potential mates. For one thing, it's the only place you are going to see people "wearing" badges that tell you "I'm looking for marriage and children" or "I'm looking for occasional good times" and so on. If "must enjoy trout fishing" is a deal breaker for you, you can say so right up front.

I met the love of my life through Matchmaker; we've been happy for 5 years now, with no end in sight.

As for the "only losers use personal ads" folks, they couldn't be more wrong. There are many reasons a person may not be meeting potential dates by more traditional means, and personals ads are a wonderful way to make new friends.

That said, there ARE some wackos out there, so use your head for something besides a hat rack. Don't give strangers personal information. Let someone know where you are going and who you are meeting. Make sure no one follows you home. And so on.

Answer 3

What generally pops into your mind when you hear about internet romances?

Some dumb *** is gonna get BURNED...big time! It's very easy to be charming and say all the "right things" for an hour or two a day online....but ya know what...at the end of the day "mr wonderful" still doesn't clean up after himself, burps and farts just like the losers in the town you live in. Find someone local to break your heart, at least that way you can hopefully get a couple of nice dinners and a decent lay out of it.

Answer 4

I think it is possible to find true love anywhere. Chance favors the prepared mind, so if you are open to the idea of romance here on the Internet, then it could happen.
I personally have never dated anyone I have befriended on my computer but I am not against it.
When I hear about people hooking up from the Internet, I am always curious about where on the Internet they met.

Answer 5

as much as it is possible to happen anywhere else. much harder yes but not impossible. u'll know that someone's serious when things move on normally. i mean u meet the person, chat chat and chat, get to know each other more then it pops to ur minds "hey! he/she's the one!!!!". but if someone is here having the intention to love, that won't work out.

i met my fiance online, talked for 2 years as friends, loved for 4 yrs, and got engaged a couple of months ago :]

Answer 6

I do believe it's possible to find true love online. I was on matchdoctor.com when this guy messaged me and wanted to talk to me. We started talking online and on the phone. One day we met in person. He is now my boyfriend, we see each other every day (if not, every other day) and we have been together 6 wonderful months. What pops into my mind is sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. You just have to find a plan that works for you.

Answer 7

i REALLY don"t THINK TRUE LOVE IN ON THE INTERNET, BECAUSE... what are the chances of you finding your soulmate online/??? then think if that person is just the perfect person, WHY ARE they online??, this person online has probably been abusive, or has not treated people the way they would like to be treated.. You would probably get better luck at the movies, bars, or social gatherings...Also Don't Trust the iNternet

Answer 8

Personally it is not working out for me.I have a Yahoo personal ad now.Most of the ladies seem to be addicted to dating.They get the strokes of being contacted and choosing the man and if he is willing to take them to expensive dining,theater,sporting events and trips.They have their pick.So they get hooked on the attention and freebies and forget about looking for a mate.You really can't blame them.These are all local ladies in Houston.I would not even try a long distance relationship.

Answer 9

let me put it this way...ive been married 6 years to someone I had met off of chat. Im very happy with him and vice versa! Ive also made a good life here with him(im the one that moved to where he lived)
yes it can be scary, but if you want to meet someone off the internet, i followed a couple rules: 1) he only met me when my friends were present and 2) if none of my friends werent avaliable, he met me somewhere public. i never sent anyone to my home without knowing who they were first.

Answer 10

I married one of my Yahoo personal dates and I've never been happier. So, yes, I do think it is possible to find true love on the internet. In fact, I highly recommend internet dating to my friends.
