Internet dating: good, bad, ugly and risky

well,, I met my hubby on net... through yahoo chat... I do have lots of net friends.. thankfully I am quite lucky that I did not meet any bad people.. then I use to also go for blind date, thankfully did not encounter and bad experience as well.. but today when I think of those blind dates , I really feel scared, coz i use to meet my dates( always in public plac)some times have taken a lift from them as well, but thankfully all my dates were good character people...

internet is a whole world of fanticies people come here with masked faces and pretend to be anyone. Chatting with a stranger over internet is not bad, its just for fun and killing your time, getting involved with them and sharing personal stuff is something which puts you in danger and can harm you in future, meeting comes in the same category.

There is always a risk of deception whether it's internet dating or the conventional dating.. anyone can pretend if they want to...

i couldnt agree more.this online dating is a total waste of time and is too risky.even for guys looking for dates its a bad thing. Just last week i was responding to a discussion by a guy who had met this hot girl on the net and went out for 2-3 dates with her.after that they got close and she moved in with him.After that she started living on his expense and literally robbed him of money.He even had to pay her to break-up ! So i think its really sad that the old friends first then fall in love has faded away. I think we should go back to that age when there were no internet dating sites and you had to find dates the harder way.i think that was more fun.

it's better to know your date personally. you can easily deceive people in the internet.

internet dating is a bad wich cannot ensure a correct details so i cannot encourage this type of activity

I won't ever do internet datin ever again, thought u know i found the right someone, WRONG! he was just like everyother guy i've been wit but meh i guess i will just have to kep lookin, but never again will i do internet datin

I also met my hubby on the net. Of course, you have to be careful and never meet a stranger alone (for women). When i met my hubby, he even suggested i bring a friend if i wanted to, which i did. I think internet dating might even be better than meeting people in bars and such. At least, if you chat with someone for some time before meeting them, you get to know them, how they are inside, and you will judge them less by their looks once you do meet them, because you already know the person inside.

You do have to be careful. Use common sense. It was great for me because I had gotten out of a horrible breakup and it helped me ease back into the dating scene. If I met the guy and he wasn't what I liked or me him, we didn't run a big risk of seeing each other again because I didn't know him beforehand.

I think it all depends on one's luck and experiences.One can find his hubby on the net and on the other than find his worst nightmare on his date.But all the time it is a risky job I would not call this as whether it is good or bad or ulgy as I mentioned it before that it all depends on one's luck.But to make or to get something you have to take a chance or you have to take a risk,because risk is there in every field of your life some handles it properly and some not.

Talking to them on the Internet poses no problem......they can be good or bad, that is categorical,,,,,,,,,,but one thing is for sure , it is definitely a risky business.

WELL U SEE PEOPLE NEED OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET EACH OTHER ,KNOW THEM AND THEN PICK THEIR SUITABLE CHOICE .IN THE FAST MOVING WORLD OF TODAYS INTERNET PROVIDES THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITIES

its bad and risky both...

Its always a gamble to meet good people.well i don say it should not b there .Its very helpful in brigin two unknown people together.I would say Internet Dating is risky but good at times......ALL depends on our fate..

It is true that people have found good freinds and mates through net but i believe that it is quite risky job, you never know who is on the other side. Those are truly lucky who have been blessed with true frenz but one should be alert and must not entirely rely on anybody. It may harm your feelings or trust.

I think it is dangerous, it's not for me. However, my sister met her husband on the internet, and they are very happy.

I think that the internet dating is not bad if you meet a group of friends to go out and for a friendship relation. But if you try a lover it is bad and risky because it's hard to know really a person who tells you about his life and feels behind a pc. He/she can tell you many lies only to amuse or to create an imaginary world

meeting anyone off the internet is dangerous and you must always take the normal precautions. It can be fun but also you have to be very wary always get their phone number, home one not mobile. If they wont give it you, they are hiding something its a good test and one i always use

I guess i wont ever believe in anything like this.Thats really bad....How can u trust a person without even actually talking to him.Anybosy can be artificial for those few hours while talking to u.... I wont ever go for it.Rather friendship over the net makes better sense.That ways you can give up the relationship at anytime..But love n marroiage shdnt have their way thru this....

never tried that before..and i dont have any plan! hehehe its too risky!
