In this day and age of computers and all,....what are your feelings on a couple meeting on the internet in an online dating service? I just got in a discussion with my co-worker about it and would like to know some other opinions on it. Is it pathetic? Or, does it offer a chance for a closer, deeper connection with that special someone?

Of course it isn't pathetic. I'm met a couple of wonderful women through the internet. We didn't make the situation permanent, but we are still friends. Sure can't be any worse than meeting them in a singles bar on Friday night. Stop listening to your friends who really don't know anything and keep listening to your own intuition.

I think it is fine. When I first seperated from my husband, I was not use to dating, we were together a long time. The internet gave me a chance to get back into things, you know chatting with new and different people. Getting comfortable again with the idea of starting a new relationship. I actually met somebody that I clicked with really well. We talked everyday on the phone and the computer for hours on end before we met. We got to know eachother really well. We have now been in a great relationship for about 2 years. I have never been happier. So yes, it can work out. But as with meeting anybody, you just have to use your judgement and be careful.

Like you said in this day and age its all technical. I've done the internet dating and have come across some crazy ones and even 1 I dated for quite sometime and it was great. So its an adventure but I always let people know to be careful with it. I know of some close friends who met their soulmates online and they have been married for 5+ years and have started a family. So online dating has its pros and cons.

I think it's pathetic!
Anyone can type up a nice little bio of themselves and sell it with no problem whatsoever.
For a fact, I know that it can be one of the biggest mistakes you can make. A really good friend of mine did that and now, she is trying everything possible to get out of the relationship! He came off as the nicest man on the earth. And even when they met, he kept up the good samaritan act. But as soon as they said 'I do', he flipped out and started acting like his real self!
You can hide so much of your true identity with internet dating, it's dangerous!
To have a deep connection, you don't need road runner!
You need to get to know that someone. Be able to watch them in action. See how they act in a restaurant, not in a chat room.
"To each his own"!
But I wouldn't recommend it nor try it!

I met my husband on match.com. We have been together 7 years,married 2. It is over, But I dont blame that on on the way that we met. I blame that on character,and back ground,and a way of life that was not conducive to mine. The only thing is you need to be VERY careful these days, If you meet someone that you feel you might have something in common with,do a back ground check on him.,find out his past,what kind of friends does he have ,what kind of relationship does he have with his family,Does he have a job? College? Spiritual condition. Then go slow.

I think it depends on the person. I'm sure there are some really nice people out there who are just too shy or whatever. But I think people should be really careful. I had a really bad experience with someone I met online. I thought he was wonderful, romantic, blah blah blah...and he turned out to be a psycho who threatened to kill me. People should just keep in mind that it's a lot easier on the Internet to pretend to be whatever you want.

Computers take the fun out of going out and meeting girls. Some people might just hide themselves and lie to you to make them like you if your in cyberspace.
