Is it good date people on the internet?

Answer 1

no there are crazy people out there

Answer 2

I just got married in October to a guy I met on MySpace. He is the nicest guy on the planet. But my friends haven't been so lucky. I wouldn't rule it out altogether, because the Internet opens us up to a whole other world outside our little social circle. BUT I would be extremely careful. Talk to the awhile before meeting in person and don't give him address, home phone, school info, work info, or anything where they could easily find you. I would give a cell phone # if any phone at all. When you do meet in person, bring a friend or two. Suggest they do the same so it won't be uncomfortable. If they are any decent at all, they will not mind you doing this. Then, after they pass the friends test, still meet them in a public place for awhile. Don't go to their house or them come to yours for a LONG time, til you can be sure they are okay. Even then, just be careful.
But yeah, going on a date with someone online is really no different than going home with a stranger you meet at a bar, in the mall, etc. Any time you date, you need to take precautions. Period.

Sorry, ignore my "him's" I did not mean to make this gender specific.

Answer 3

I dont think internet dating is a very good option unless your looking for one night stands cause you cant be sure if the person is telling the truth or the whole truth

you could wind up thinking you got a good thing going and when you meet them it could turn up lies

if you do decide to date on the internet though i wish you the best of luck

Answer 4

Good or bad, I don't really know. What I do know is that everyone should practice safety when meeting someone for the first time. I would trust an on line dating service more that an anonymous board like Craig'sList. At least you can chat on line and just shut off the computer if they are not your cup of tea. Harder to disengage yourself in person. I am so glad I am happily married.

Answer 5

Well, it depends on your age, first of all. If you are over 18, then yes, it is just fine!
I also think girls need to watch out a little more than guys do as far as being taken advantage of.
The top way to "date" in America or people hooking up as in dating or marriage, etc. is 1. The workplace 2. The internet!! 3. Other places like bars, church, etc.

Personally, about 9 years ago I ended a 5 year relationship and was soooo single again. I went into AOL chatrooms and started talking to people. I ended up dating some really cool guys just from chatting/having conversation. Sometimes I just found friends to hang out or work out with.

Here are some suggestions:
1. You can sign up for some legit sites that you want to be a part of for dating. Like Eharmony, etc.
2. Try chat rooms, like from your town, etc.
3. Beware of the ones that just want sex or to hook up. You can tell right way. They are ones that ask for a pic immediately. They ask for phone numbers, and what you're wearing, etc. If someone is truly going to be interested in just friends or dating, then they will just talk about funny stuff and beware of giving out too much info.
4. I would talk to someone for about 3 weeks before a date. Then give out phone number, and talk on phone. If you hit it off, go on a date.
5. Be honest. Don't lie. Don't say you are 120 lbs if you are 150. They'll be mad. I was a decent size, but not petite, not large and I was still scared to tell guys my size lol. So I didn't. I just said I was fit, curvy, etc. No one complained. The only complaint I got one time was from a shorter guy than me and I wore heels and it made me really tall and him not so he was mad LOL.
6. It's okay to be nervous. If they don't end up liking you or standing you up, then so be it, onto the next one.
7. Try meeting "groups" of single people at events, clubs, etc. I did that. We would meet at a hotel dance club and it was just a group of singles that hung out.
8. Try myspace, if it's too immature for you, then don't. Let people know on there you are looking to date. Post some really cute pics of yourself. Try not to be sexual, it draws the wrong crowd.

And most of all have fun...good luck! I know a lot of marriages, dates, long-term relationships out of the internet alone! I also know a lot of break-ups, bitterness, "hookups", and cheating, so WATCH out also!

Answer 6

I think you just have to be careful...just as you would be with anyone you meet. Definitely only deal with people in your area. And the first time you meet up - go for coffee or something simple like that. This way it's only for a short time, in case it's a disaster. Never give out your address, and always tell someone where you're going and when you expect to be home.
Treat it as an adventure but use common sense...Good Luck!

Answer 7

Yes and no. My husband and I met on the 'net. We had some mutual good friends, although we did not know each other. The friends introduced us. In six months we got together and he brought me to his home state. That was six years ago, and we've been obnoxiously happy ever since. So, yes because I had a fortunate experience involving people I already knew and trusted. And, definitely no because there are otherwise way too many weirdos and crazies out there!

Answer 8

Dating sites are very common nowadays. You take your risks with anyone you meet, whether internet, bar, blind dates, etc. I find it is a good way to get to know someone before you choose to meet. I know many people who have used it.

Answer 9

me personally i would never do it. You never know who you are actually talking to they could be feeding you a line of BS. there are crazy people out there that can hurt you you see it on the news all the time. But if you chose to meet someone online make sure you are in a public well lite place with lots of people around just in case and be careful. Dont let your guard down. there are decent people out there but there are crazy people also. BE CAREFUL!!!

Answer 10

I met my wife on the Internet. Of course, she'd dated some real freaks before me. I think it is a good way to expand your horizons.

Answer 11

I know several people that have married each other & met on the internet - it all depends on the people & if they connect & you need to have an open mind. Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't.
