ON-Line Dating

Yes, I happen to know someone who has met another online. It happened about a year ago or should I say a little more than a year ago. We've talked and talked and finally we actually got to meet each other. We weren't too far from each so it was convenient for us to meet up and try to get to know one another. But as a part of our personal (work) life got the best of us, we couldn't really go on a date or even see each other often as we would like. I see nothing wrong with online dating as long as you know who you are actually conversating with and you have met in person and started to get to know one another. On the other hand, yes, there are some crazy people out there that do lie and play to be someone else other than who they say they are. So watch out who you're dealing with. However there are still some sweet and kind fellas out there. If you meet one, I think that you should stick with him because you never know what else to expect.

I agree you have to be careful no matter if you in person or online. People can be dishonest and you have to be careful no matter what the situation is. You can safe guard yourself with being careful intill you get to know a person very well. Like dont give out personal info like your phone number, personal email address, location if you are only dating online. If you need to talk by phone a good way not to give out your personal number is to go buy one of those pre-pay cell phones use it for your dating needs. If you meet someone and decide its time to take it to the next level make sure you meet in public places for while till you know this is a safe person. If you feel pressured in an online dating situation then its not worth it...run! If someone honestly cares about you they will be patient with you.

Well, i have experience it but it never last as i am busy too and with the time zone barrier it is very hard to cope with a long distance relationship as it never work for me. I heard too in other people that they find their love and even married. But, it really felt boring dating on a computer monitor like a fantasy that you wish he comes out but remain impossible. Thus, online dating is good for those who are busy and have no time to have a date in real lives.

I have met half my gf's online, the thing I would say is talk to someone a lil while 1st, before you meet them, if they are too impatient for that then move on. Otherwise all your really doing is setting yourself up on your own blind date...lol

I would be worried about doing this as you dont really know who your meeting! I experienced meeting up with someone i hadnt seen in over 10 years after meeting them back online and when i got there we didnt have nothing to talk about even though we was chatting away online it was quite awkward actually! However i have also heard some good success stories so i suppose it depends on the individual.

personally, i dont think it matters where you met the one your dating or currently involved with, the important thing is two of you are willing to work for the relationship no matter what, sacrifice, loyalty, and patience is also involved. online dating is now basic. and foremost, it depends on the person, on how she/he can handle the relationship, and how would she would handel the reaction of people around her/him

Well, regardless the medium, I could only say 'there's no perfect formula for love', there are those who have failed and failed again online, but there are those who have met their match online as well. There are those who've been together for just a few weeks and decided to marry who have had successful relationship, while those who have been together for more than 10years before finding out that they're not meant for each other. So I'd sincerely say Que Sera Sera. As long as you're not stepping on someone else's toes, and not causing a bad thing to happen to another's life, then go for it.

Welcome truckergirl! Count me in the list of people who have met their spouse through on-line dating. That was more than 10 years ago. Maybe people were a lot trusting then, or there were a few less creeps then, but it was great meeting on-line. Then we moved up to telephone conversations, and then we met personally. The rest as they say is history!

I don't see anything wrong with on line dating. I find it an interisting thing cause I haven't experienced it yet..

Today I have met the question twice.You just do what you like to do.Ok,we call it a day,I have to go.See you tomorrow.

Well dear,,,,,,,,,,,,I don't believe in online dating. Because you don't know who is at the other end.......And also you can't find true love without seeing, knowing and understanding the other party.
