We all know about it, and maybe some of us have done it! I have, and it worked out fine until his life got off track & He broke up with me b/c he didnt want to drag me down with his problems. I was just wondering what you all think about online dating? Do any of you have personal experiences with an online relationshp you want to share? Do online relationships work out? Would you ever get involved with one or like the idea of Online dating? I wanted to get everyones opinions. My opinion honestly is not to do it. ive done it only because I met my [now ex] Zack online b/c of my friend Arin who lived with Zack in NYC. I think if you dont know 100% that the person your talking to is real or if you dont know much about them or if youve never spoken on the phone, than Id say dont do it. You could get attached & heartbroken in the end. Then theres trust. Since you dont see them daily you dont know what they could be doing. Lucky for me I had Arin in NYC to watch over Zack for me just incase.

Online dating is no different than any other form of dating out there. The only difference with online dating is that a lot of people are less patience then real life dating. Most of the time people are looking online for love because they have tried it in the real world and have been let down. So when they go into online dating they are at wits end and are ready for the unreal instant gratification. Most of the time distance is the major issue and other times it is the misinformation (or outdated) information people may have up about themself. A lot of people online are also not even looking for a real relationship but a quick hook up. Online personalities are easy prey for the hit it and quit it scenario even more so than the club because you may never see that person again or they are enough of a stranger that they will not run in your same circles. Online dating can be successful if you play it right but you have to be patient and have real expectations.

Online dating is a Horrible idea. Starting an intimate relationship with someone you've never meet besides some pictures they send you. Not to mention the trust that you build up that can be broken or just not even be real. Online dating is for people to afraid to put themselves out in the real world and meet people, and being afraid of that just isn't healthy. It's like giving someone with asthma a pack of cigarettes everyday, it's just not healthy. So let's say you actually do start to talk to someone you meet online in a chat room or one of those dating web sites. You build up all this trust, but you've never actually talked to them face to face, never actually touched them, never truly been with them. It's just a fake relationship that is to easily destroyed, where people get hurt. Even real couples that have been together for years that try to have long distance relationships have problems. Do you think that you can really have a long distance relationship with someone you've never meet, because most people have a hard time with people they loved for years. This is not even mentioning that the person you think you're talking to might not even be that person at all. You don't know if they sent you pictures of a cute friend, or a co-worker, or just someone they know from school or the neighborhood.
I'm not saying you shouldn't meet and make friends online. People can help you out with your situations and stuff going on in your life from an objective point of view, and that's always a good thing.
But starting a intimate relationship with someone online, that's just foolish, a waste of time, and in the end it probably won't even work out. So I'll say it again, if I haven't already, online dating is a HORRIBLE IDEA.

It's not safe. But, nothing is anymore. You could meet someone online just like you do at the bar, the grocery store or the library. You have to be careful and think wisely.
I do agree that you have to know or at least "get to know" the person. I have a few online webpages that have misinformation about me, but that's cause they're old or I don't really access the site much. Then, there's the distance issue.
It really depends on what you want. If you're looking to cyber *** then you could possibly find someone, but if not...be super careful. I mean, if a guy at the club will tell you what you want to hear for a one night stand, do you think that a person on the internet that you possibly might not see "ever" won't try to get at everything else???

I think online dating is a scary idea. You never know who is on the other end of that computer screen. The person you are talking to could be a serial killer for all you know. but hey i am a Mom so i have to be careful about these things. However i would suggest if you are going to meet someone you have met online in person be careful, bring a friend or something just to be safe.

I think it's kind of weird, personally. I mean you honestly don't know anyone online. You can be whoever you want to on here, so I don't know, I just don't trust it. Then again my sister did it and that's how she's found her current boyfriend.. but still.. I'm never doing it. I'd much rather find someone in the real world.

I did it 3 times first lasted 1 year and was not so bad, the thing is that he was nuts... when he proposed and I rejected he tryed to kill me. Second time was bad he was a Christian pastor you figure the rest.
3rd time and last its so nice we are planning to marry next year.
You are right you dont have contact all day with them, but trust and respect is everything, so this time I know its worth it. I dont recommend the online dating because of the things I lived, but if you do it again well... could be a good one.

I personally think it is kind of dangerous to get involved with someone on the internet. You never really know who you are talking to or how old they are. People are completely anonymous on here and they can tell you anything they want to about themselves......true or not. I guess if you're careful and never meet anyone you don't know alone. I don't think I'd ever do it if I was single, but to each their own.

I am on it and still with him. I actually went to meet him that far to Fiji Islands. We turned out good and getting along well and still very much in love with each other. Guess what? I'm going to marry him within a month from now. I'm here in Canada and flying that far for him. It happens that we're connected and we respect each other and there's trust in there. So, why not. Some are fortunate and some are simply not.
