Internet dating?!?

My best friends dumped her boyfriend of three years about three months ago for no apparant reason. And has now become addicted to dating people she meets on myspace and msn. I don't think its safe or practical and i know she could do so much better. She got a bunch of guys around her hometown after her, i just don't understand why she's wasting her time?!

Internet dating?!?
Any online dating site is risky, I have met ppl thru Yahoo Personals %26amp; only had one bad exp. The guys on myspace just seem to want sex. Not that the men on Yahoo aren't the same but they are less brazen. All you can do is look out for her %26amp; see she is safe. Have her call you periodically when she goes out. Maybe eventually she will come around. In my case I don't go to church, all my neighbors %26amp; friends are married or gay %26amp; I work @ home so I don't know how the hell else to meet people. Also I always meet in a restaurant or other public place for the first date.
Reply:Just found it funny how this question was asked in the mental health section :D


edit: also, she probably would rather go online to find people because there is more of a variety and people are more willing to express who they really are (or aren't!) on the internet - not that i find what she is doing right.
Reply:Maybe she's not looking for someone that is "after her"...maybe she is enjoying being talked to. I never done the internet dating thing, but from what I hear, it is the definite way to go now when your looking for a relationship. People that don't go to church, or that don't like to go to bars really don't have much of a choice but to date on the net, which to me is really just like meeting someone you don't know from a bar and dating them.
