Online Dating

Let it out, all your views.

well i think its ok. i met my fiancee on faceparty. he wasn't really looking for anyone because he was happy on his own, his friend just told him to put a profile on there for a laugh, so he did.

 

he looked up women in his area and hey presto there i was. he read my profile and thought i sounded "cute" so he sent me a message, i replied and we exchanged msn adresses. we chatted every night for 8 weeks then i asked him if he wanted to meet me, by this time we had already decided that we loved eachother.

 

the day i went to meet him was the best day of my life and we have now been together 2 years and are planning to get married soon.

 

so meeting ppl over the internet does work, me and andy are proof of that

[Lyson]

Wow, good for you.

[keza]

i would...maybe not now because i dont really want to date atm...lol

but no some people that do it because their work life is so tiring they dont have time to go out to a nightclub or whatever

 

some say its dangerous but its not anymore so than going to a bar and picking someone up 0_o

[allieking]

yeah thats true keza, i could easily have gone out to a club and met a guy who was a complete nutter. the only thing about online dating i find is dangerous as a mother is that there are alot of peadophiles who go on dating sites looking for single mums to date so they can get to their kids.

[keza]

oh yea thats true u can usually tell whos a pedo though...well some of the time...some of the sly ones 'groom' the kids dont they, sick pervs...

but u could easily pick up a sick, kinky pedo in a bar

he/she might not just be stuck behind a comp screen

I've gone out on some dates with girls I have met in my area through Xanga. I personally think meeting people online to date isn't that big of a fuss. Both of my experiences were pretty good, though niether turned into an actual relationship.

I do, however, think that places like eHarmony, online matching services, are kind of dumb. What fun is it when you can't even get to really know somebody, being matched up by some computer and told the relationship will work.

Something like that revolves not in trust in a person, but trust in a machine, that is why I don't like it. Its flawed like that..

[Black_Angel]

Not tried it, I tthink I'm a bit too young for that kinda thing yet. But when I was older/bored/desperate I might try it.

[Stenners]

I dont think I will ever try it but never say never so that why I didnt call them freaks

[Jeezy]

I don't know. Never tried. I'm probably not that kinda guy...

[LPGotLinkinPark]

I don't think I'd mind as long as they were in my area (I know someone who's been seeing this girl from a loooong ways away & that I think is kinda dumb). Where I currently live though, there's not many peopel that I wouldn't know. I don't think it's that dangerous either. Not any more dangerous than going on a blind date, picking someone up at a bar, etc.

Freaks Do It.

[Phranka]

My last bf was online.. But he couldn't handle the distance..

I don't know.. It's hard for me to express myself outside the computer.

Yeah I kinda feel like you. But I think a Online relationship can never work out.

Maybe you can meet someone online and then meet in real life and become a couple, but just through online talking and chats you can't hold up a real relationship. And I don't think that it is a relationship if you never meet the person in real life.

I just met this really great guy through myspace. He lives like 15 mins away from me. I gave him my cell phone number, I trusted him because he knows some people I know. I'm really excited though. It's weird, I haven't liked someone like this before.

[Jacx]

Freaks Do It.

No offense, but I agree.

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

Yea man. Sickos too... LMFAO.

[Victim]

I have never done it myself.. But my aunt met her husband online.. They have a great relationship.. So, it does work in some cases..

[Dark Angel]

I never really cared for it, but I tried it with this one guy. It lasted maybe 3 weeks... then we sort of stopped talking to one another. *shrugs* But I think you should look more for a person you actually know and will be there for you, physically, not digitally.

[misery]

Dating someone through the internet is, IN MY OPINION, pointless, and I feel that you'd have to pretty desperate to do something like that.

 

There are exceptions though. Something like what linkinpark-1 said; if you meet online and happen to live close together (as in the same city, not close as in the same state or country..) or whatever and start soemthing up that way then it's not so bad. But dating someone who you can't really see.. just, no. You can't fall in love with someone you only know through the internet, sorry.

[Shadowed Heart]

>_< I've tried it, I should've listened to the ppl that told me not to do it, 'cos they had, and it would NEVER work out... I mean really, several years on the net until you can actually be together? NO!!

 

It sux.

 

I tried, but got ever it in like 20mins, he wasn't worth my time, but I think he hates me now, I like him, he rox, and I'd go out w/ him if he weren't halfway across the world -_-

 

j/p, nah, no exez, very bad! I'd be his friend, but he won't talk to me. lol, and there are better people, who won't break up w/ u for stupid reasons that would make any girl hate you if ur ex told ppl it.....

 

DON'T DO IT

Yea, it's almost like it doesn't count as internet dating because we're really going to met and date. It's sort of like meeting through a friend, but the friend just so happens to be MySpace. I feel sort of weird, like I don't know, it's really hard to explain. It feels like it's so cliche, so I make myself believe nothing is going to come out of it. I mean I talked to the guy for like a few hours and I already know he's different from anyother guy I've talked too. It sort of makes it to good to be true, like I'm getting attached to quickly. I'm making to big of deal out of this. errrrrrrrrr....I don't like being confused

[Clogz]

The hardest thing about meeting people online and then dating them in the real world, is that the internet lacks that chemistry that exists from being with people on a real date or in a real setting, so it can be hard.

I met two girls through Xanga that were alot of fun to talk too, and while I liked them alot when I met them, I learned quickly that the somewhere online, the true human experience dissapears. One of the girls was really great and funny, but when I met her I kind of got annoyed, because she kept interrupting me to say things...I never got to finish any sentences...

So I'm not saying it doesn't work, but I do think that if you try it you should be wary and remember that chemistry is key to a relationship, so just because you like them online doesn't mean you will get along on a real date.

Yep, exactly

[stupidsoul1]

I agree with matt, it would be sooo hard with someone on the other side of the world
