Meeting someone from online....?

Question

Have anyone met someone from online? Are you still talking to that person?

I know that some people meet people from online, but it doesn't last long...lol.

Answer 1

People are people - no matter where you meet them. Always use caution.

My first experience was a nightmare! The rest not so bad. And I have met many people since. The last few I still talk to very often. Most not so much.

But the difference was, I am not looking to date. I'm finding new girlfriends to hang out with or go to the gym with.

Answer 2

I met my current GF online over 2 1/2 years ago and we are still going.

There seems to be a stigma with meeting people online. But if one would to think about howmany people are actually online then you could say that 80% of the population are online so it should really not be a big deal. but to each his own. My situation was such at that time I didnt have time to meet anyone any other way so online was a viable venue to meet people and it worked for me so I am happy.

Answer 3

That's true. There was this phase I went through where all I did was chat with people online because I could relate to them more than the friends I had in reality. Pretty sad innit? but I got over it and realized that people in real life were so much easier to communicate with and distance can take a lot out of a friendship. People online can even be dangerous. you know, that whole predator thing.

Answer 4

I met my husband online. We're crazy about each other. It doesn't really matter whether you met the person online or from somewhere else. You must be open to possibilities and be careful at the same time. We've all heard of the horrors of online dating so be on the lookout for that.

Answer 5

I tried on the online dating thing for about a year and a half. I met them at a public place (usually a coffee shop) and if I liked them, we would continue to date. I met some nice guys, some desperate guys, some stalker guys, some guys who completely lied about their age or employment, some guys who were very creepy. None of them lasted longer than two or three dates. I would advise, NEVER inviting them into your life until you really know them. Don't introduce them to your home, your friends, your FAVORITE places...unless you really fall for one. Instead, meet at a place that you never usually go to and keep the first meeting short. Don't tell them where you work. Overall, obviously...the online thing was not good for me. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Answer 6

You really should be careful with meeting ppl online. I have met 2 ppl from online but no longer stay in contact. It really depends what type of attraction there is...if you just are meeting as friends or wanting to maybe have something more.

Answer 7

I met my bf online thru yahoo personals back in June. We were cautious, first chatting online, then on the phone, and finally met over a milkshake one Sunday afternoon. We have fallen in love and he gave me an engagement ring Christmas Eve. Be careful--there are men out there that are not what they seem, but they also exist in real life. But there are also those that live happily ever after!!!

Answer 8

I met a few people when I was dating. I stayed friends with one, even though we are both now married to other people. I think the reason it often doesn't work out is because so many people misrepresent themselves. So, when you finally meet, there is always at least one person disappointed.

Answer 9

I never met someone online. It would be fun though to meet someone you like online.

Answer 10

I was on Yahoo Personals and met a few really nice guys. I am still seeing one of them - 3 months now.
