Do you believe in online dating and love?

Yes. My husband and I met on AOL in 1996. He was from NorCal and I from SoCal. We dated online, them he drove down to see me. That July I moved up north. We married in June 1998. We will be married for 10 years now and have two beautiful twin daughters.

I believe in love period don't matter where you find it as long as what you find is real and true. You are who you are. I know a couple who met online and never knew what each other looked like til they finally met and they have been married for over 8 years now and still in love. They didn't want to know what each other looked like because they didn't want that to be a factor in the relationship. Even though they are both very good looking it worked out whether or not they were good looking.

anything is possible, many have met their lovers and wifes and husbands and partners online, or in some other form of communication like sms, phone pals etc... times are evolving and our worl has just become smaller, actually with the introduction of internet - people from all over the globe now meet each other using chat and they can even see each other. i guess we should not judge these people - after all, they are all humans too and have feelings for each other. if it was true they can make it a lifetime commitment, others fail like a regular meeting / dating stuffs so what is the hype about internet dating and love anyway?

I met my partner in an online chat room four years ago. We were both chatting about music and gradually found ourselves drawn to each other. We chatted, and messaged for about 6 weeks, exchanged pictures and then phone numbers. and soon we were chatting on the phone. After about three months, we both felt comfortable enough to arrange to meet and, well the rest is history. We have been together for four years now and very very happy.

it's an interesting topic, and we can discuss it for a day long. however when we focus on the dating people, we find the answer to this discussion is quite simple. i've always heard many cases about this thing, including almost bad stories and few good stories. here in my country, many people born in the period of 90's are crazy about such thing. they think it's fashionable and stylish. they know each other a little bit just from playing games, surfing forums; in other words, they know others exactly far away what they need to know about. and when girls and guys find something in common, for example, a guy is very good at playing some game, which happens to attract a girl who loves this game as well, if such thing happens, they then may fall into chatting via im software or other ways and get touched and finally they get dates then have sexes. this is maybe so-called for-one-night, nothing to do with love at all. is it a good story we'd like to share? do they believe in online dating? i don't think so. but it happens, many and many times. yeah, it's not so bad as kill-after-dating though, it's still out of ethic, i personally think. this is just one less impressive aspect of online dating, but i don't mean to mention a more impressive one, because i know it happens so rarely that it's very far away of conviction. so i never believe in online dating and love, and such thing sometimes just make me feel disgusted. anyway, it's all my own view.

I believe in it because I met my boyfriend there. We've been together 3 years now. You just have to be careful and use common sense and also follow your gut feeling. I know it's easy for people to lie online and post false pictures and there are harmful people on there looking for their next victim but if you take your time, think it through, even make online tests like repeatedly ask them a question about their life to make sure their story is straight( I've caught many liers this way). Use common sense like don't go alone when meeting. Have a back-up plan, don't meet at night, so on. If talking online and you get a bad feeling, go with it and block them or whatever the dating site allows you. There's a lot in depth and I don't feel like typing every little thing but it can work if you don't rush and ignore little red flags. It doesn't work for everyone though. What works for me might not another. We all meet different people online, everyone I talked to weren't very good in their lies or plans so I easily caught them. Another person might run into someone thats skillful and careful to not slip up.

Do I believe in online dating for myself...NO..absolutely not BUT that doesnt mean that I dont believe its possible for other ppl..I think its rare but I think its possible..

I believe it can be possible but I am so afraid of that these days, especially. You never know what kind of person you are actually going to meet up with and if they are not from your area, it makes it that much harder to find out more about them also. I may give online dating a try if I wasn't married but I think i would have to meet someone from the local area though.

I don't believe it due to all of us are using virual role in internet. It's hard to believe the guy are the one you want to dating. Even though the successfull one, how much ratio as a whole ? Cheers.

I beleive it's possile to find true love online, but not very common. There are just sooo many scam sites and untruthful people that sign up on dating sites. I would personally stick to regular dating.

Well,Acctuall,I donot believe it,but in our life,we have the sucess love story happening,they know each other on line then datting,So it is hard to say,everything is possible.

Wow,many people have said much.In my opinion,I do believe in dating and love on line,cause there is a very good example I've witnessed,in which the actor and I were classmates when we were in high school.When I went to my university,he went to his in another city,and was having online datings with a girl at that time,who now is his girlfriend and they live together.Their love lasts for about 3 years.I met them last month,and saw they were getting on very well. However,I think the probability of success online dating is small.When we have one,we should be careful.First,dating the person should make us comfortable.Second,we could use some way to check whether he or she tells a lie.Anyway,If I find a boyfriend on line,I'm sure we will meet eachother someday,haha. By the way,I'm stephanie,an easygoing Chinese girl who come here the first time.I love singing,swiming,and being with my friends.If you want to know a new friend with similar interests,or something about China,just add me.Thanks,waiting for you~~~~

Maybe there are some who really can gain their happyness through the online dating and love.But what i want to say is there isn't anything can ensure everyone can meet their Mr Right or Miss Right.So keep conscious when you are keeping in touch with friends who are acquainted by you. With it,just enjoy your wonderful experience in the internet.

I'll tell ya, me and my boyfriend met online. He's the greatest guy I've ever met. Yea, it was scary at first but then once I got to know him he was wonderful. We now live together and have been together since December 07. That was my first time really dating online and now hopefully my last. I can't say that I love him, but I can say that I feel something strong that I can't get rid of. Love is a scary word. Plus just getting out of a 2 year relationship a few months before dating him it seems even more scary to fall in love with someone again. You just have to be careful who you meet and how you interact with them. We talked online quite a bit, then we started texting each other on our cell phones and then we talked on the phone and finally we met and went on a number of dates before deciding he wanted me to move in with him.

Well I met my hubby online but I dont think of it as online dating as we just used the internet to connect with each other. I think its a nice way to meet people you normally wouldnt meet. But I think it gets iffy when you start a relationship online and continue it without meeting.

well, i also don't been a part of this online dating and love and i think only friendship can be possible through oniline chat but its not good for our relationship to continue with online chatting... Have Fun!!!

I cant say I dont believe in online dating since I have some few acquintances who found their hubby or wife through online. Actually my previous officemate is now about to get married with her fiance whom she met through a certain dating site on the net. Though thier path crossed through that dating site, they met couple of times before they got engaged. Personally I wont engage to such thing. I believe people can found their true love either on virtual or real world, and I prefer the real world.

My husband and I actually met online, through american singles, like almost 6 yrs ago, we've been married for almost 4 yrs now. I think that anything is possible. So yes, I do believe in it! Go for it!

I don't believe in online dating and love. You are right people find their soul mates and getting married online. But there are very few example are like that. Mostly people cheat each other and tell them wrong about themselves. So i always avoide myself from online dating or love. I can make friends online only but cannot date them or cannot fall in love with them. Thanks

i think its better that u meet the concerning person and then give relationship a try
