Dating on Facebook

United States
January 7, 2013 7:16pm CST
I was watching that MTV show "Catfish" and it got me to thinking...why would someone attempt to "find love" on something as random as Facebook? I mean, I have a hard time talking to the people I actually know dealing with their day by day minute by minute updates about nothing. So I think I would feel a little weird talking to someone that might want to date me there. I know for a fact I would have a hard time talking to a perfect stranger there (but then again I never tried)..I don't know. Any thoughts?

For me, it is quite dangerous to date on facebook. Some people are strangers and you don't really know them. There are many stories and some are being fooled or hurt. Be careful. Just a suggestion.

That's what I am saying, edvc77. I watched the "Catfish" show and so far 95% of these people were in for the shock of their life when they go to meet perfect strangers. One lady even met a woman pretending to be a guy that the girl liked and played her for a whole year just so she would "leave the dude alone." It's crazy. I just hope that people would wake up and realize that meeting people online has such a high margin of error or drama. Thanks for responding!

I think the girl or boy are mad fall in love with facebook friend without seeing to each and other and fix the date. I feel most of the facebook user provide fake information so dont trust on anybody other than relatives or friends.

I don't really believe in any kind of Internet dating - for myself. If some other people found their luck with it, good for them. But I'm always really cautious whether the guy I'm talking about is telling the truth or not, let alone it's bad that I can't see their true and authentic reactions to what I'm expressing...
