Internet dating?

How many of you have done it and would you recommend it?

Internet dating?
I'm Chris Hanson with Dateline NBC. Watch a few of my Predator shows. That'll show you what kind of men are looking for dates online.
Reply:I've done it and been disappointed. If you can meet a man at school, at work, in a bar, or (I recommend this) in a laundrette, then meet him there instead of on the Net. You can never form an accurate picture of a boy over the Net.
Reply:I won't recommend it... You never even know the guy you are with it's too risky.
Reply:Internet dating is just like meeting people anywhere. Like anywhere you have to take care of yourself and your safetey. You wouldnt go off alone with a guy/girl ya just met at a club, mall or whatever, ya wouldnt give away personal information about yourself, dont do it on the net. Have an escape route or have someone with you. Most computers have cams now, so you can see who your chatting to. But precautions still need to be taken. Its just common sense really.
Reply:Almost did it. Never did. I have met someone in person that I met online. We had been talking for a year and I finally met him it was not scary he was nice. I was just looking for a friend he wanted more so that was that.
Reply:I met 2 exs, one for a year i was with and one for 2 years. Alot of people degrade it but I don't see the big fuss unless you are not careful and just jump the gun. Just be careful, talk to them and get to know them for a few months before deciding to see them unless they are in your town or something. Also, I am not a 'fan' of dating 'sites' cause those people are online TO find someone and generally are pervs..i like to just find random myspace pals and talk to them and if something clicks..then it will continue ..
Reply:never done it. Never would.
Reply:I am really against it. I don't see a point in spending so much time talking on the computer to someone who can be not who they say they are. A real relationship is much better.
Reply:NEVER DONE IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE A LITTLE CREEPY, WHATEVER YOU DO BE SAFE BECAUSE PEOPLE LIE THEY *** OFF
Reply:Couldn't handle it. I know I'd subconsciously make false assumptions about the person that might shatter when we meet.
Reply:i wouldnt...too risky
Reply:I personally have not, however...we have alot of friends who have and they have found wonderful people through dating sites....and a few good "hook ups" !!!! Obviously, you have to be very careful... god only knows who you're really talking to on the other end........ :)
Reply:I'd say you can use internet to know people and get dates, but beyond that be careful and take it forward in person.
Reply:never treid, but whats with all the people saying there are a lot of crazies out there? dont give out your address, do meet in a public place. wtf!? you cant go through life scared of "crazies". oh no, help, my shadow scares me!
Reply:never done internet dating... cybersex, yes.. :D
Reply:why would u date someone u cant see
Reply:did it once...


its fun


try it...
Reply:I tried it on and off over a 3 year period, its the same as meeting someone in a bar/club etc, except at least you know a lot more about them before even deciding to meet up.





So long as your careful and dont rush in, suss the guy/girl out well before arranging to meet, never give personal info, full name, address etc.


Always tell someone where yr going when you meet them and meet in a public place you feel comfortable with.





I had a few dates from it, some were complete fakes, ie married but pretending to be single, pretending they was after a relationship but only wanted no strings sex etc.


Some were very nice genuine guys and some were a bit weird and creepy...exactly the same breeds as you would find if you was looking to meet someone on a night out etc.





I met my current partner on internet dating, we live near each other, enjoy the same things/places, just hadnt had the fortune of bumping into each other without the help of the dating site!





We are now engaged and expecting a baby and he has turned out to be the most loveliest, genuine and fun guy i have ever met.





The world is a big place and random meets with that perfect person dont happen often, why not broaden your horizons and try it, ignore the small minded people who say its for weirdos...60% of the worlds single population are trying it out, they cant be wrong!

Reply:You have to take a lot of step to do this .. there are a lot of crazy people out ther..
