Compared to traditional ways of dating, some people think that online dating is a good idea, others do not. Generally speaking, do you think that the Internet provides a good way to meet someone you might date, a bad way or is it neither good nor bad? Why do you feel that way? Have you any personal experience in matters of online dating?

Well,I usually chat with my friends online,, so that cancels out the fact of the unknown person,, however if someone gets involved with unknown ones in online dating,then online chatting is good but i think personally that at some point of time, sooner or later, they should meet each other and chat face to face and try to figure out their connectivity in real before committing fully....

What a wonderful response! Yes I believe in finally facing that person or else we can never know who we are communicating with all along - whether he or she is a cheat or a genuine person. It does actually come out when you interact face to face and not hiding behind a screen. Have a great day!

Hey,
Well I think that online dating is not that bad, but the main bad thing I see about it, is that most of the time you do not actually know who you are talking to. It could just be some regular guy, and he 'pretends' to be a good looking attractive one. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Yes people pretend a lot and my experience has always been so.I have met very few honest people online and one way or the other,it comes through that they are lying about something.It all depends on how wisely we conduct ourselves when we try online dating.Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

well i have heard many cases where online dating has lead to a disaster, you never know what kind of a monster is sitting behind that computer screen.......so i suggest it should be done very carefully, i know many people who dated online and are now happily married......so it all depends, i think you should know everything in and out about that person before going ahead with anything personal......as many a times people just exchange some private pics and then get themselves into trouble and also black mailing.........so i feel online dating can be safe if you give yourself time and you know how to be in your limits and to what extent you should welcome that person in your life !!!!
