What do you think of online dating?

Question

is it nice to try or stupid to think about even?

Answer 1

Even the worst of them get to the best sites, so nothing is ever safe-proof. I think learning by your own experiences is usually the best advice because even if I were to tell you of the pit-falls, you'd still want to know for yourself anyway - that's how it works usually.

I think the temptation to try it out is there and because so many people use this as their main way of making contact with others, but there are many who have dipped their toes in a few times and never tried it again after too many dissapointments. People learn to become loners whilst on-line after a while too and so when it comes to the meeting part, it can prove impossible to meet.

I wouldn't describe it as nice exactley, but it can be exciting at first, if not a little scary as you have no idea of who the hell these people are you are going to be engaging in conversation with and what their agenda is, so you spend most of the time being wary and undecided if the people you are chatting with cannot be seen in the flesh over the other side of the screen.

I think there are more possible negatives and dangers dating on line than there are positives and because many will exaggerrate their profiles and lure people in without really wanting to get to know them for who they really are. I base this on so many responses I have had from people before I tried it and for sure, I too was talking to men with amazing persona's, but who could then be found on other sites doing the same thing or you meet them and they are not at all how they described themselves and their intentions different from what they claim. This applies to both sexes.

I really think that meeting someone naturally is really the best way and because you know what you are getting right from the start usually and at least have a better chance of getting to know them in a normal environment and if you don't like them, reject them anyway, but it is in the flesh that most people feel a lot more comfortable with generally.

It is not stupid to try something out, this is how we learn from our mistakes, by taking a risk at least, but being informed by others who have tried it can give us some insight into the risks involved and so we will know what to expect if we do come accross something we don't sit comfortable with. If I never knew what to expect, I would perhaps have fallen into the traps that so many have done, but am quite intelligent anyway and learned very quickly.

There are a lot of desperate people and needy people out there and quite a few pervs (sorry for expression) and a lot of time wasters and all the things you hear about are fact and not fiction and there are many who are psychologically damaged too, so being careful is of course, is very important and all sites, reputable or not, are evenly distributed with the same kinds of characters I have mentioned above.

The reports I received were from all sites. Not trying to put you off here, but most of this refers more to the male subscribers than the female ones who tend to be more genuine and sincere in looking for romance and committed relationships. There are some success stories of course, but few and far between the horror ones so be warned!

Good luck though.

Answer 2

I believe it is type of bizarre, in my view. I imply you truthfully do not know anybody on-line. You may also be whoever you wish to on right here, so I do not know, I simply do not believe it. Then once more my sister did it and that is how she's located her present boyfriend.. however nonetheless.. I'm by no means doing it. I'd a lot as a substitute discover anyone within the truly international.

Answer 3

I for one am not for it at all. But my daughter went in one of the chat rooms and was chatting with some of the people in there and met a guy. Talked to him for about 6 months or so and then went to meet him one day, armed with pepper spray of course. They then dated for about another 6 months and are now living together and have been living together for over 2 years.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. Just remember there are crazy people out there!

Answer 4

I think that if you went to a reputable sight, like match.com its ok as long as you do it with discretion. Remmeber that people can and do lie about who they are online, of course they do that in person too. Just be careful, but I think its ok

Answer 5

well it works some times but i thinj why not go out and find ur self a person in real life that u can trust anyways go with it if u reaaly cant find someone

Answer 6

I've hear good and bad. It can break marriages up and two people that may have never met could fall in love. Just be smart.

Answer 7

I think it is okay you just have to be careful on who you talk with. Don't give out to much personal info until you know them.

Answer 8

I think it is for people with low self esteem who don't have the guts to face someone for fun...moreover, it is a mean for perverts to realize their nasty sick dreams which they would not be able to satisfy in real life.

To those who think this is a bad answer state why...don't just hide...come on...you know it is true...you chose this as a bad answer cuz the shoe fit you....so wear it....it ain't my fault LOSERS!!!

Answer 9

I have many friends who have had great success with this...lon gtime relatinships and even marriage

Answer 10

I met my husband online...I also know three other couples who met online and are VERY happy. Go for it!
