I guess that e-dating is just crap. Nothing can substitute face-to-face acquiantance. You don't get the thrills on the net - the wires don't let it through. Any ideas for or against are welcome...

It's possible to find the soulmate on the net. It's also possible to feel butterflies in your stomach when you see him/her online. It's just that it takes time to find the person who is just in the same mood like you, who takes online meeting seriously and doesn't make jokes about it. But that's how it is in the real life. You're waiting for the person who would be in the same life situation like you, same mood..etc. On the net, it's a bit different. It helps to shy people to open up, to express your thoughts and feelings, without being afraid that it will lead to something you're not ready for in the moment.

anything is possible, but i do think, that on the internet, electronic love affairs, and all that is questionable and not practical,, you can meet persons who have the same interests, and goals or so they say, but they can be lying and playing many games,
it is hard enough in life to have a relationship in person, and have a great match, and as far a a true soulmate, you will only knkow that if you have been together about thirty years, or more, it is deep, and it is beyond sex and lust, and the romantic attraction, and hopes and dreams, it is something that is a gift, for those who have earned it by being a great mate, and learning, and sacrafice and giving and forgiviing and loyalty, and all this takes many years,

there is nothing wrong with romantic love, it is the most exciting, and beautiful part of two people, however with time and years, responsibility and learning and changing and give and take,, and so much more is necessary for two people,, and dating on the internet is kinda like make believe, because the person on the other end of your chat is giving you his or her best, and that is easy, you do not see the defects, or know what is true, or fantasy, so i think you must take it slow, and be cautious,, good lluck have fun

Yes you can. The net is a start to come across people you would not come across ordinarily in every day. It is very important to meet a person in person at some point. You can't base the whole relationship on the net or e-mail or telephone. If the person won't meet you, there is a reason why. They might be married or just out looking for a booty call. Either way you can cut to the chase and the players will weed their way out of your life. You are in control of what you want. Tell the person you want to go to dinner, a movie or the zoo. Have a few dates so the person can get to know you.

I agree,one could find a soulmate on the net but sometimes when you really meet them face to face then you are not the person that you are looking for since people on the net don't tell you the truth of themselves.
But meeting a soulmate can be in many way like from workplace,partiesor introduced by friends.So in my opinion i think meeting a soulmate face to face is the best way.

Good luck

People mix up what soulmates really are. They are our celestial/angel friends. This means our soul/spirit is friends with another soul/spirit. A soul mate is not your partner, boyfriend, girlfriend. Its a term to describe the bond but is inappropriatly missused. Your soul mate can be a plant, animal, member of your family, anyone or anything. Finding your soul mate on earth simply means that your astral/celestial friend is in another living form and that you have found each other. When soul mates do find each other, it usually a tragic thing, meaning that it is vertually impossible for you two (you have many many soulmates but it's rare to find more than a few in your current lifetime) to have a wedded type relationship. It is limited to mainly a friendship type thing as many soulmates can be your pet, your grandparent, your nephew, a good freind who you have trouble geeting along with but you know each other from the other realm. The soulmate you think you have as a partner is not your soulmate, these people are your LIFEMATES, thats all. Soulmates have a "feeling"type of comunication (non verbal telepathic) and have a connection metaphysically to one another, and when you reseach each others past you find that you both, all 3, all 4 or whatever, you all have had very very similar occurances and life dicisions made (you can see this in animals too only if you know their past). Soulmate is the friend of your spirit and not your frind per say. Lifemates are the ones you can spend a lot of your time with. I hope this can somewhat clear the air!

Love can come from anywhere. The things you have to remember about the internet is that other person could not be what you were told....both physically and personality-wise. It doesn't take much to look and be different over the net. A face-to-face meeting should come before any real emotions are there...in a safe public place. Time should be spent together to see if things are how they were portraid.

I met my partner through an online site. We mailed and rang each other for a few weeks before meeting, I felt I got to know a lot more about him than I would have done in a club or pub. At the time I was a single working mum and simply couldn't go 'clubing' as much as I use to do. We have been together for nearly 6 years. I know it's said that you must be 'sad' to use online dating, maybe other people see it that way but I have been far happier since he came into my life.

Yes, my husband... we met through the net and now we are happily married. He was single when we got married and I was single too. Now, we are both trying our best, put and share our efforts more than 100% to keep our marriage forever because we both don't want divorce. He is the best thing that ever happened to me and marrying him is the best decision that I have ever made. I thought it's impossible to meet your soulmate through internet but it happened to me personally and I could say that it's a blessing. Not all stories and relationship on the net ended up happily but I thanked God that ours did.

Actually that's how my bf and I met, thru online personals thru AOL before match.com took over. We actually chatted for about a month or two online before I gave him my cell phone and home phone, than we chatted on the phone and online for a bit more. Exchanged pics and when I was finally comfortable to meet face to face he was ready for it. And we've been together since. It's been 4 yrs now.

I'm all for chatting online, getting to know that person, but just the entire edating and not actually meeting the person is weird to me. I need to see that person's face expression when they talk with me. I need to hear the tone of voice, the hand movements when they talk. Of course there's cams but it's not the same. You actually get a vibe when you're around the other person.

I met my soulmate, the love of my life, online and married him.

This was my experience: I met about 8 or 9 men from a match site (Match.com) for 1 hour dates (my rule: they pay, and they could choose whether to treat me to dinner, or meet at a coffeehouse). Think of safety (do not to get in their cars, go to their homes, give out your phone number or let them know where you live). I found the one hour date benefitted both of us so we each wouldn't feel "stuck" and it could pleasantly end.
I very much enjoyed the experiences and meeting the men. Maybe there is value to those short meetings, because when I met my husband, I felt he was "the one".

I totally recommend online match-making for these reasons: Its very adventurous, you have alot of control over whom you meet, you dont have to pay big money to meet the right one, there are alot of potential dates and mates grouped on one site so you can read through alot of interests and profiles, and you can immediately assess who's future interests or goals match what you are looking for. I was looking for people who wanted to marry and love my children, and stated that clearly.
One caution: people's photos sometimes do not look like them at present (ie younger photo), but don't judge too harshly on that. Its really human nature to want to put on a better face to others.
Good luck if you try it!
