Pleasant good day all ..... i have a question ....
I recent hear a lot of people say that they would not date someone on the internet because the dont know the person an all .
Because i have meet my husband over 4 years now online we meet on this social network call Tagged after we meet online we start talking by phone an email each other an after two year we have meet in person on a date, Tow years later we got Married an we live together now.
Online dating can be good an bad. sometimes we just have to get to know the person before we stay thsi an that .... I hav emeet my Husband online an we are happly Married now next year January 30 will be one year an we love each other very much .
Question
Would you date some online?

I've had two long term relationships (one is my husband and father of my daughter) met on a dating website. Many of my friends have met their long-term boyfriends and husbands online.
There are many benefits to online dating. You can connect with many people, quickly, with no loud music at a bar or a club getting in the way. You can easily tell from their profile if there is something that is a deal breaker for you (they love to travel and you hate it) so you know there is no point in pursuing a relationship that won't last.
And for a woman, it's better because 90% of guys will try to get you to do some cybers*x before they even meet you, so you know they are cads and you never have to talk to them again, and they don't know any of your info like phone number, etc.
Online dating is especially good for people who don't like going out to crowded places. Personally, I cannot be attracted to someone unless we can connect intellectually, and how the hell can you know that in a dark bar or club with music blaring? All you can tell in those places is what a person looks like (barely, if it's dark) and to me that doesn't qualify as dating -- it qualifies as mating.

I have met people from school and work also that I have dated, but the most important thing to me is to be able to have a good conversation, that's why bars and clubs don't work for me. I know there are people who meet at a club and later have regular dates where they talk and get to know each other, but I also know people who end up trying to force a relationship out of a drunken one night stand after clubbing, and that doesn't usually work out!
I think that whatever works for finding a real relationship with a nice person is good!

Forgot to mention: "online dating" is usually how you meet someone, not how the entire courtship goes. I think the problem is that everyone visualizes that "couple" who has been dating for two years but never met face-to-face. That's not how to go about it. Exchange one or two messages and then go on a real date, already! Then it can be as "hands-on" as you like ;)

I don't approve online dating.It's creepy and nerdy at the same time,so how come people do it?

Datino online doesn't restrict you to call her/him or to arrange a meeting even very early. It's just a way to find friends or maybe even love. I prefer having a chat that can be very personal and deep with a girl online and than asking her on a real date instead of going out to party, get drunk and trying to dance with a chick that's too high even for herself. But hey that's just my opinion and i respect yours, have a great day

me,yes i will and i did.me and my husband found each other through online dating site called "cherry blossoms".after 1 day chating on that site we decided to exchange phone number and email address so we can talk more and know each other.we chat and talk twice a day before work and after work.after 5months we meet in person and get to know each other in 2weeks.7months after meeting in person we get engage and 1 month after the engagement we get married.like you and your husband,we are happily married now..this coming february 13 will be our 1year anniverssary.well,your right online dating can be good and bad..all they need to do is to pick or choose the right one.they need to be wise and smart about choosing their partner in life.be happy and enjoy,life is too short so we need to enjoy it while we are young just go go go and ride it.

I have a friend who also met her husband online in fb and they have been living happily together for two years now.The only questions I wanna ask u is how did you have the patience to wait for sooooo long without even seeing him and did u date other boys during that period of only mailing to each other and talking on the phone??

I have known a lot of couples also who have known each other online. They are now happily married. Women in our country, prefers to marry men from the internet because they are much serious, stable and dependable. This is the trend now in selecting your future mate.

I think online dating is not good way of finding the right partner. It is an emotionless process and no one can ever be 100% successful with online dating.

tash I have never use an online dating site but I think it is possible. I mean we meet men and women at bars, parties, gas stations and grocery store. What is to say that these people are on the up and up as well.
See this is how I see it, I am a good caring person and if I was to use the net what is to say there is not another one out there like me. As meeting people off-line and online we just have to just be cautious.

I have never really trusted trying to date through a site. I do have a friend who is now married to the person he met on a dating site. It seems to have have worked well for them. I personally would not. I do not trust it to be reliable and honest.

well at first i did not trust an till I got my internet at home an have join online dating sites .... and we communicate each an everytime we get get to talk and it work. we just have to get to kno wthe person an talk with especially if your shy the inetr give you more tiem to talk. .
W Asyria a lot of peopel on the internet are hacker liars an all but ist not every body si the same we can not judge the book buy its cover come tiems we just have to communicate with people to get to know if we want to.
But if you dont like i cant make you like thast just your belief ok ......I did it an it work for me an i thank god every day for my Husband and Thank you Tagged. com .....

I would NEVER date online.. EVER.
For me, meeting someone is only possible in real life, and only in expectional cases this will be a good way to date someone and really fall in love.
Real contact is happening when you can really see each other and hear each other in real life, not in a chat box or what so ever.
Good to hear that your find someone online, but most of the time, this is not the right way to find someone.
