Online dating: Good or bad?

I dont think it matters where you meet someone. So far I have had nothing but bad experiences of online dating. The last person I met was an absolutely evil person hell bent on breaking my heart and stelling as much of my money as he could get. The experience nearly destroyed me. However its not the net that caused that situation. Evil people are everyone even on the internet. So there is no problem meeting people from the net just be very careful of their character. I have learnt from bitter experience!!!

Well I have really made good friends on net, but not for marrying just for friendship. Once only I made a friend on net that too from my hometown, he was the one who gave every information wrong about him. Then I stopped chatting with him otherwise you do get good friends on net. I truly feel good about you that you could find your soulmate there.

Man could I tell you some horror stories! BUT.... I finally kissed enough frogs that I got a prince. Met online 4.5 yrs, ago and have been married for 2 yrs. He's a great man with a wonderful heart. He's good to me and good for me. I am one of the lucky ones I guess. However- I advise lots and lots of caution. Use your head and WOMEN use your intuition! don't take chances, don't assume that nothing will happen. I worry more about the young girls that are vulnerable to the jerks out there that mean harm to them. I am delighted for you and you wife and baby girl that is terrific! I wish you many many years of happiness and the best life has to offer.

I agree that online can work for some people.. It never has for me, because I never actually have met anyone in person as of yet. However, my daughter married a fellow she met online and that was 2 years ago and they are happy. My son is living with a really nice girl he met online as well.

Well I met my husband online and I don't regret it one bit. I would hav never thought I would have meet the man I was going to marry online but I did. It was not in a chat room or anything but on myspace. He had just moved to this state and the area and was wanting to meet new people. I just happened to be one of those people that he wrote. I'm glad he did too.

I think its good because even if you only meet on phone or internet. If it is true love, any way of meeting the people you love. its destiny.

my boyfriend and i met on an online dating site. we started out as friends and became friends for i guess 5 or 6 months. but we did not chat yet during those months. we just exchanged emails every now and then and even regular letters through regular mail. we send each other packages and letters and cards. after sometime, we started chatting and it's when we felt friendship is starting to develop into something deeper. one day, we found out that we can no longer let a day pass us by without telling each other how much each other means. and that... saying i love you really made our lives better. we're now in a relationship for a year. i already had my interview at the embassy last monday and sometime this year, i will be going to sweden (i am from the philippines) to be with the man i love. P.S. he already came over to my country to meet my family and i in person last year. and it was fun. after being with him for 2 weeks, i found myself longing for that day when i can really wake up each day seeing his face first. happy myLotting!

most bad...but some people have good online dating.

i've met terrific friends online and we still meet up whenever we have a chance to. i have also encountered some people with questionable personalities and I stopped communicating with them. romance-wise, i was on an online relationship with someone from the US for almost 3 years. we never made it though as we were hampered by financial worries that made meeting in person quite an impossible pursuit. we both agreed to end the relationship last month.

not good, because you cant see face

Actually, I don't agree in an online dating because there are a lot of bad people out there that are very oppurtunistic. But as I just remember one of my friend told me that girls should be escourted by someone who you trust in meeting a new face of a stranger in order to be safe.

erm. .actually this topic has been long debated in my country.... it seems like there are pros and cons of it.. first of all, online dating.. the user is able to remain anonymous and nobody actually know where they came from.. this will be a bonus for cheaters and scammers.. some might even cheat feelings... secondly, we don't know what type of expression a person is giving when he/she is sending emails or text messages to us.. that's not a bonus in dating.. that's like.. talking with no feelings.. isn't that true? but.. i do believe online dating can be very real too... who says that true love does not exist on the internet? when you found someone that is perfect to you.. then you can be happy with them forever..it's good to see that you actually met your wife through online chatrooms.. i wish you a happy marriage throughout your life =)

i've doing this.me and my girl friend met on the irc room chat,after that we spend lot of time chat on yahoo massanger and keep in touch whit call everyday. We have a same interest about internet,but the town is far from me,i met her one a month. and untill now we still keep this relation work

I think it is good thing in a way but can alaso be bad as you don't who you could be getting involved in.
