How do you feel about online dating ? Do you see this as a good source of meeting someone new ? Do you feel it is dangerous to meet someone online ? How would you feel if one of your friends said they were going to meet someone they met online ? What are your views ?

i dont see online dating as bad. it's a new way to actually meet friends faster. however, one should take precautions in doing so because that person you'll be dating might be "bad". you should choose your dating place very well so su to avoid running into some problems because you still "dont know" the person even if you have talked/chatted with him/her over the internet.

Online dating is good. atleast you know and see the person that you're going to meet personally. as long as you put some restrictions between you and be aware, I don't think meeting personally will turn to bad.

I do belive that it can be a good way, but i also belive that u should be careful. On the first date - ALWAYS meet at a public place and maybe not 2 minutes after u fist met online =) I have a friend who actually met a guy online and they are now pplanning their wedding so it can for sure be agood thing =)

My husband and I met online. We didn't meet to date originally. I was in cosmetology school and was looking for some business. I was in a chat room with a bunch of people that I knew "in real life" too. He came in to the chatroom when I was trying to get one of my other friends to come in, and he said he would. So I told him where I went to school and he came in for a haircut. He was getting ready to go to basic training and we were both dating other people so I thought I would probably not ever see him again. After he got out of tech school, he IM'ed me one night when he was home before he went to his duty station. He convinced me to go out with him. We went out three times and he left for North Dakota, this was in August. He came home for Christmas and asked me to marry him. I agreed. The next time he came home was May 8th. It was for our wedding, May 14, 2005. We're still married and very happy. It worked out great for us. And most of our communication was done online the entire time we were dating. We talked on the phone, too. But a lot of times it was online.

There's nothing wrong in online dating. I fact I once had a boyfriend whom I met online and our relationship though quite short, was pretty lovely. I also built up good friendship through online dating. SO I don't think we should condemn people who are soooo into online dating.

I see nothing wrong with it and as long as you're intelligent with it is no more risky then meeting a guy out in public at a bar or something. I have heard of many who have met online and been quite happy. I think it's a matter of just finding the right person.

well first off i met my husband in here in 05 and we got married in 06. i myself couldn't be happier. i think to meet someone you met on the net you really need to be cautious. dont just jump into things and go meet someone you've only talked to for a short amount of time. you should get to know the person, read between the lines, and trust your gut feeling (because if its anything like mine, its never wrong)

I've heard so many stories about people who dated online and are now married and blessed with children. I don't think it's bad. I know there are alot of bad people out there but it is really up to you if you would trust people easily.

I think its still a risk to date someone you've met online. I wouldn't say that I've never seen one happening, but that didn't turn out for my friend.May be if your thinking about taking some time of and meeting someone new may be then its a good idea.Otherwise I would prefer not go in any kind of relation whom i've met online over the internet.
