What's better? Internet dating or meeting people randomely?

I was thinking that internet dating is becoming way more prevalent. Everyone has a story about some sister's cousin's best friend who met someone online. But are the old methods of meeting someone at a party/bar/grocery-story better than internet dating?

Yes! I finally get to answer this question! Internet dating is one of the coolest things invented by man! I am a pretty hot chick and because of that certain men don't approach me in 'real life'. the internet gave them the green light to talk and for us to meet. This increased my chances of meeting someone by 100% because I didn't even have to leave my house to meet a man! My objective was to actually meet someone and not just cyber chat, so responded to local men only responses ( I never initiated contact ). Long story short, I met a lot of nice guys, went out on a whole bunch of fun dates, met one jerk who's emails and telephone number I blocked and got rid of, had a couple of stale conversations, but never made a love connection. The difference i found was how lax i had been in my personal safety. For instance i was sure to meet my cyber dates in public places driving my own car. back in the day, I met someone at the mall, we talked on the phone, he picked me up at my house, and took me in his car to another state for dinner. Nothing bad happenned but my point is i wouldn't dream of doing that with someone i met on line. The same people on line are the same people walking down the street--least we forget we ourselves are on line!
Reply:I'm not sure about meeting people randomly because I've never done it. I've always stuck to meeting people from online, but I'm not on any dating sites. I used Myspace out of all sites. I used to talk to people all the time on Myspace and I've met.... 6 guys (I think) from there and I dated I think 2 or 3 of them. I think it's cool online because you get to know the person better and specially if they've never seen a picture of you and then they do, I mean it's like, you get to know the person by their personality and you judge them on that rather than their appearance.





I love it a lot but I am, once I start working and getting out a lot more when the weather gets better, going to start looking to meeting someone randomly in person.

Reply:I prefer meeting someone in person first. Meeting online is too awkward, and most of the time I can't seem to put the face with the personality I thought they had.
